Sinopsis

When Justice Protects the Guilty...

 
The law is meant to shield the innocent—but what happens when the chief of police is hiding a dark secret of his own?

 
Social worker Billy Jo McCabe is approached by an anonymous woman with a disturbing claim: an unspeakable crime is being concealed by none other than Police Chief Tolly Shephard, and the victim is his own niece, Cheyenne Potter. Billy Jo turns to Detective Mark Friessen, but without a clear victim, he’s torn—until they start uncovering unsettling clues that suggest Tolly has been covering up far more than anyone realized.

 
As they dig deeper into Tolly’s web of secrets, they soon find themselves up against people who manipulate the law for their own gain. Every answer uncovers another chilling question, and Mark and Billy Jo must tread carefully. In this high-stakes game, crossing the wrong line could lead them into a battle they’re not sure they can win. 

 
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lorhainne Eckhart, Above the Law is a gripping mystery where the lines between justice and corruption blur—and not everyone makes it out unscathed.

The Grand Babylon Hotel - A...

James Harvey

Money can buy anything—even a murder mystery. 
When American billionaire Theodore Racksole's daughter is denied a simple steak and beer at London’s fiercely aristocratic Grand Babylon Hotel, he does what any self-respecting tycoon would do: he buys the hotel for £400,000 on the spot. 
But Racksole soon discovers that he has purchased much more than world-class chefs and silk-lined suites. Within twenty-four hours of taking the reins, the Grand Babylon plunges into chaos. An undercover prince is roaming the halls, a royal equerry is found dead before his corpse mysteriously vanishes, and the impeccable staff seem deeply entangled in a high-stakes continental conspiracy. 
Led by Racksole’s fiercely independent, revolver-toting daughter, Nella, the impromptu amateur sleuths must race across Europe to unmask a criminal syndicate and find a missing Grand Duke. From the glittering ballrooms of London to the shady waterfronts of Ostend, The Grand Babylon Hotel is a sparkling, twist-filled romp through Edwardian high society. 
Lock your doors, trust no waiter, and prepare for an unforgettable stay.
