  “Mrs. Parks was often paid in gold dust, but she paid her girls in dollars …” 
   
  From the beloved Pulitzer Prize–winning and best-selling author: a rollicking murder mystery set in Gold Rush California, as two young prostitutes follow a trail of missing girls 
   
  Monterey, 1851. Ever since her husband was killed in a bar fight, Eliza Ripple has been working in a brothel. It seems like a better life, at least at first. The madam, Mrs. Parks, is kind, the men are (relatively) well behaved, and Eliza has attained  
  what few women have: financial security. But when the dead bodies of young women start appearing outside of town, a darkness descends that she can’t resist confronting. Side by side with her friend Jean, and inspired by her reading,  
  especially by Edgar Allan Poe’s detective, Dupin, Eliza pieces together an array of clues to try to catch the killer, all the while juggling clients who begin to seem more and more suspicious. 
   
  Eliza and Jean are determined not just to survive, but to find their way in a nascent town on the fringes of the Wild West—a bewitching combination of beauty and danger—as what will become the Civil War looms on the horizon. As  
  Mrs. Parks says, “Everyone knows that this is a dangerous business, but between you and me, being a woman is a dangerous business, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.”

  Crime doesn't take a holiday, even during the worst of storms. 
  As a favour to Captain Barnes, Tedrick 'Stumpy' Gritswell takes on a case regarding a barren stretch of land. Sounds simple enough and the clams are decent. What could possibly go wrong? 
  Well, apart from a senseless murder, there's that. And vicious barracudas. And crazy dames, psychopathic upstarts, corrupt police, vengeful Old Salts and a dangerous algae that could spell the end of civilisation. 
  All things considered, it's just another tide on Borobo Reef.

  War. Wealth. Legacy.  
  Las Vegas, 1969. A city built on dreams, secrets, and the spoils of war. Chuck, a supply officer with a lucrative side hustle, finds himself caught between the allure of quick cash and the promise of something far more valuable – a simple playing card, the Five of Spades. 
  In a deal brokered under the cover of a desert night, Chuck is offered a choice: cold, hard cash, or a card that seems utterly ordinary. He takes the gamble, unaware of the forces he's about to unleash. 
  As the Vietnam War rages, and the shadows of organized crime stretch across the glittering facade of Vegas, Chuck's decision sets in motion a chain of events that will echo through decades. A hidden legacy, a son he'll never meet, and a secret that lies buried beneath the sands of time. 
  "The Five of Spades" delves into the dark heart of a city built on chance, where fortunes are made and lost in the blink of an eye. From the backroom deals of the mafia to the battlefields of Vietnam, this episode explores the price of ambition and the enduring power of a secret passed down through generations. 
  When the cards are dealt, and the stakes are high, even a simple Five of Spades can hold the key to a kingdom.

  If you want your characters to seduce like an interrogator, dominate like a profiler, and manipulate like an intelligence officer—you’re on the right track. 
  Cops, Detectives, FBI agents, CIA operatives (if you ever get the rare chance to meet one), and top criminal attorneys—they’re more than just power players in sexy uniforms. They carry something deeper. It’s not just the badge, the suit, or the commanding stance—it’s knowledge. The psychological insight. The ability to read a person’s every tell, to spot desire before it’s spoken, to push just enough before pulling back. 
  And that is what makes them so damn irresistible. 
  Now, you can learn their secrets—and use them to write mentally stimulating, pulse-racing erotica. 
  Listen up, lover—I’ve done the research, and I’m bringing you the real secrets of seduction straight from the playbooks of the FBI, CIA, and top interrogators. Because whether you’re breaking down a suspect or breaking down resistance in the bedroom, the tactics are the same. 
  We’re talking: 
  Microexpressions that betray hidden desires. 
  Body language that speaks louder than words. 
  Interrogation tricks that make people spill their dirtiest secrets. 
  And, of course, we’ll be whipping out the cuffs—figuratively and literally. 
  I’m stripping down the secrets of interrogation, body language, and psychological profiling—so you can write seduction like a pro. From the way a gaze lingers to the push-pull of dominance and submission, we’re bringing real law enforcement techniques into the bedroom. 
  So sit back, relax… and let me teach you how to write tension so thick, it leaves your readers begging for release.Vivia Volupta
