Sinopse

It was the summer of 66, of youthful rebellion, of new found freedoms. Unbeknown to Joe and his friends, they were on the cusp of leaving behind their rebellious ways and embarking on the long and sometimes perilous road of life.
Bob, best friend of Joe, youngest of the bunch, worked hard in the building game, played even harder, no thoughts for what the future held.
Jim, the only one to go to grammar school and it showed. Fed up with his chosen career, he wanted more out of life, but in what direction?
Terry, oldest by a couple of years, got caught out whilst still in his teens. Married with two kids, another on the way. Some people would say he was trapped, but a little thing like marriage never stopped Terry.
Friday night started like every other weekend, but before Monday rolled around, Joe's life changed in a moment. A simple glance across the dance floor, catching the eye of Grace, the most stunning woman he'd ever seen, was just the beginning of a journey shrewn with love, friendships, heartache, deceit, blackmail, betrayal, prison and finally murder.

    Twenty-five-year-old Linda Donovan has spent her life working for her father, Anthony, at Donovan and Daughter Exterminators in New York City. On the anniversary of her mother’s death, her father makes his annual visit to his late wife’s grave while Linda heads to a Park Avenue apartment building to work solo. When she arrives, she finds the body of an elderly resident, partially eaten by rats. The gruesome death not only speaks poorly of the Donovans’ exterminating services, it also points to foul play. When the cops show up, they demand to speak to Linda’s father. But despite her efforts to contact him, Anthony has gone off the radar. As he evades a possible murder charge, Linda’s father records in five notebooks—and five damning acts—the story of how he met and fell in love with her mother, a previously untold history of familial abuse, tormented souls, and true love gone terribly wrong. Skillfully weaving together domestic suspense, a desperate police investigation, a love affair, and a serial killer on the loose, acclaimed author T. M. Dunn’s Her Father’s Daughter is perfect for fans of Oyinkan Braithwaite and Karen Dionne.

    1950, New York. Viviana Valentine—Girl Friday turned partner to New York’s top investigator, Tommy Fortuna—is drawn into a sordid new case when Buster Beacon, a wealthy man of science, beckons them to a party at his mansion north of the city. There, Buster entertains blue-blooded friends as well as investors keen to make a dollar on the many advancements made in his home laboratory, but he’s been hearing strange noises in the night coming from his expansive estate, and he doesn’t know who to trust. Once Viviana and Tommy arrive, the party is snowed in. And suddenly, there is a dead body and nowhere to hide. Who killed the disguised federal agent in their midst? And how have details from the top-secret lab become public? Once chomping at the bit to be brought into this mysterious life, Viviana wonders if she’s ready for the risks that come with the territory—risks that rise treacherously high as the killer targets the next victim. Set in the gritty noir world of 1950s New York City, Emily J. Edwards’s Viviana Valentine Goes Up the River packs all the elements mystery fans love: an irresistibly clever protagonist, a posh cast of heroes and villains, and a murder case that could defy even the most seasoned investigator.
