  Teddy Lint is the kindest private investigator on the planet, committed to seeing the best in everyone he meets. The detective agency he runs out of a Los Angeles strip mall with his brother Ralph has seen a strange case or two before, but never anything like this. A man claiming to work for the CIA hires the Lints to find a shipping container of radioactive Agent Orange that vanished over fifty years ago. He insists someone is planning on using an army of drones to drench L.A. with the deadly chemicals before the week is out. 
  The Lint Brothers enter a maze of bizarre suspects, from nefarious ad executives, to anarchistic Boy Scouts, to a toga-clad militia fighting for exclusive rule by women. The propaganda-obsessed society that seems to be running the world is probably worth looking into as well. The power of empathy collides with the dangers of disinformation as Teddy fights to save the people he loves. Our beloved detective doesn't give up easily, but any Angelenos with an aversion to death by herbicide might want to dust off that umbrella, just in case . . .

Fresh out of the national academy and a mother of two, FBI profiler Eva Rae Thomas is in over her head on her first assignment, in this breathtaking mystery and multimillion-copy by best-selling author Willow Rose. When Arlene Wood, a mother of two, crashes her car against a tree at four in the morning, the case seems pretty straightforward. But evidence found in the remains of the car soon raised the question of whether this was really an accident. Shortly after, her husband is taken in and later convicted of having murdered his wife. But many questions remain unanswered. Why was Arlene driving in the middle of the night? Why did she leave the house, her husband, and her sleeping children, then get into her car and drive away? Was she meeting someone? A friend? A lover? A killer? Six years later, Special Agent Eva Rae Thomas is new to the job when she stumbles upon something that suddenly blows this case wide open. But can she persuade anyone to reopen the case, when even the husband has admitted that he is guilty? And will she be able to do it in time before this killer strikes again?

  The Pacific Northwest lies in ruins in the aftermath of the 9.2 Cascadia earthquake. There is a tsunami at the coast, annihilated infrastructure in all the towns and cities, and failed dams in the Oregon river valley where fifteen-year-old Cielo lives with her mother, a fearful evangelical who’s become caught up in a fearsome cult called The Collection of Redeemed Souls. Cielo and her mother, Mexican citizens without U.S. papers, have always had their status teeter on the edge—and now it’s about to plunge into the abyss. When the earthquake hits, Cielo’s mother hasn’t been home in days, but Cielo suspects that she’s holed up with the cult and might even be dead. When the National Guard arrives to evacuate survivors, she stays behind in the flooded city to find her body. Members of The Collection of Redeemed Souls have also chosen to stay, and their disciples are capturing anyone still left behind and converting them to the cult by force. Entering a deadly game of cat-and-mouse, Cielo tries to evade the cult at every turn as she desperately searches for her mother’s remains. With gunfights and mass killings engulfing the city, Cielo is one step away from her own demise, but the bonds of blood drive her on toward a confrontation with pure evil—and a final chance for her mother’s redemption.
