Sinopsis

PEACE AND WAR, FRIEND AND FOE, LIFE AND DEATH… A PERILOUS JOURNEY HOME!
Fahimah Banaz has been wrongly held in a CIA "black site" for over five years. Now, as cases of unexplained deaths—marked by rapid decomposition—are cropping up across the U.S., Homeland Security is willing to bend any rule to find the source of the deadly infection, even if it means resurrecting a "dead" Iraqi biochemist. Fahimah's sister risked her life trying to destroy the super-microbe that causes the flesh-eating disease. Fahimah tried, too, but landed in prison.
Austyn Newman was sent to gain the cooperation of the scientist. Arriving in Afghanistan, he recognizes that the CIA has been holding the wrong sister all these years. They need her, but how will he gain her trust?
With time running out, Austyn must help Fahimah find her way through war-ravaged Iraq and Kurdistan…for salvation lies at the end of her journey home.

    It's Halloween in Hell's Birth Canal, but when someone's killed at a costume party, Francie's determined to unmask the killer…  
    When a fellow partygoer is poisoned while bobbing for apples, Francie needs to get justice for her friend. But just days after the crime, she gets devastating news: the Jibbleson sisters’ fingerprints were found on the murder weapon. Even though most (okay, all) of their inventions explode, Francie knows they’d never commit murder. She promises to get them out of their jail cell and back to their workshop faster than you can sing the Monster Mash. 
    Knee-deep in the investigation, she gets a surprising card in the mail. A wedding invitation. Kong’s wedding. He met a stray alleycat days ago, but they’re ready to tie the knot. Her familiar is blinded by love, but Francie’s never seen things more clearly. This innocent little alleycat isn’t what she seems, and Francie’s got to save Kong before he vows ‘til death do you part’… because that’s exactly what the feline fatale has in mind. 
    To make matters worse, Hortensia tracked down one of the most dangerous of all the cursed books--the Eldertide Almanac. But the literary ghost of Mr. Hyde (Dr. Jekyll's alter ego) got to it first--and he's about to make this Halloween one for the record books. 
    Can Francie reveal the killer, save Kong and destroy the cursed book? Or will this Halloween be all tricks and no treats?
