  The Great War has ended, but for Amy Vanneck, there is no peace. Her fiancé, Edward Haslam, a lieutenant in the 7th Manchesters, is missing, presumed dead. Amy travels to the desolate battlefields of northern France to learn his fate and recover his body. She’s warned that this open-air morgue is no place for a civilian, much less a woman, but she’s willing to brave the barbed wire, the putrid water, and the rat-infested tunnels that dot the landscape. Her search is upended when she discovers the scene of a gruesome mass murder. What does it signify? Soon, she begins to have suspicions that Edward might not be dead. Disquieting and yet compulsively listenable, Two Storm Wood builds to an ending that is both thrilling and emotionally riveting.

  In the new installment from veteran Hollywood screenwriter Lee Hollis, friends, moms, and P.I. partners Maya and Sandra have left their hometown of Portland, Maine, on a school trip to Washington, D.C.—where a killer has just added murder to the itinerary . . . 
   
   
   
  Drafted as chaperones, Maya Kendrick and PTA president Sandra Wallage are accompanying the SoPo High seniors to the nation's capital—much to the embarrassment of Maya's daughter Vanessa and Sandra's son Ryan. Now both moms are about to find out which is harder—shepherding unruly high schoolers or solving a murder. The last sight they expected to see on this trip is a female intern who works for Sandra's soon-to-be-ex-husband, Senator Stephen Wallage, in a fatally compromising position. 
   
   
    
  Desperate to avoid scandal, Stephen begs Maya and Sandra to solve the case. But their FBI counterparts—tough-as-nails agents Markey and Rhodes—are far less enthusiastic about the meddling of two "amateurs." With suspects ranging from senators to students to stalkers, Maya and Sandra must follow a twisty trail of clues so they can catch a killer and survive to make the return trip . . .

  Aja and the SHIELD team embark on a high-stakes mission. One that could turn the tables in the war against sexual predators or sentence them to death. 
  Aja’s frustration boils over when a new child trafficking network is discovered. She feels like the team is fighting a losing battle. For each predator they get off the streets, ten more take their place. But when Aja suggests what sounds like an outlandishly impossible solution, she is surprised when the powers that be agree to marshal the necessary resources to investigate its viability. 
  Concurrently, Aja and the team are tasked with bringing the Spider’s Web network to justice. And saving hundreds of girls subjected to unimaginable abuse, including two missing girls from the team’s last mission. Risking their lives once again. 
  Will Aja’s pie-in-the-sky idea revolutionize the fight against sexual predators? Or will the effort fail, jeopardizing the support of the novel CIA-FBI team? And will Aja and the team exterminate the Spider’s Web network and rescue its victims? Or will they be the ones eliminated? 
  Aja Minor: Spider’s Web is the fourth book in the Aja Minor psychic crime thrillers series, including Aja Minor: Gifted or Cursed, Aja Minor: Fountain of Youth, and Aja Minor: Predatorville. Fans of fierce female protagonists with unique powers who overcome adversity will find a home in this series. 
  A portion of the proceeds from this series is donated to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, established in 1984 to help find missing children, reduce child sexual exploitation, and prevent child victimization.
