Sinopse

Money isn’t everything. It’s the deadly thing.
 
After the murder of a high-flying executive in one of Tokyo’s wealth management firms, Detective Hiroshi finds himself investigating the financial schemes that secure the money of Tokyo’s elite investors. His forensic accounting gets sidetracked, though, by a second murder and the abduction of two girls from the home of a hotshot wealth manager.
 
The abducted girls are the daughters of an international couple who seemed to have it all—a large apartment in the high-end Azabu district, top schools for the children, and a life of happy affluence. Their life falls apart and they are swept up in threats and pursuits for reasons they cannot fathom. 
 
Tracking the money and tracking the two daughters leads Hiroshi into Tokyo’s murky financial past and outside Japan’s borders as he discovers how overseas investments and tax shelters are really managed.  
 
Hiroshi works with Sakaguchi and Takamatsu and others on the homicide team, including an assertive new detective, as they confront greed and violence in one of the wealthiest cities in the world.  
 
Azabu Getaway is the fifth novel in the award-winning Detective Hiroshi series.

    When he learns of his parents' death in a train crash, Sam Dana makes his way home to the Bar D ranch—not to claim it, but to settle the estate and move on. He has no need for the hard life of a cattleman after finally striking it big as a prospector. 
     
     
      
    But what Sam finds is far from the home he remembers. The ranch has become an armed camp led by his cantankerous half-brother, Walt, who's been hiring men more skilled with a six-gun than a lasso. In Sam's absence, things have gone downhill in all ways possible. But worst of all is the rumor that Walt has been pilfering livestock and selling it as his own. Cattle thieves make a lot of enemies in the Old West, and Walt's enemies want his land, his stock, and his head. 
     
     
      
    Sam could cut and run. This problem wasn't his making. But the Bar D is still half his—and no man is going to take that away without a fight . . . 
     
     
      
    Luke Short helped transform the stories of the American West from dime-store pulp into a respected and immensely popular genre. Trouble Country is a classic western adventure rich in grit, authenticity, and intrigue.

    Murder never shocks Leonora Spencer. Violence is a fact of life in Victorian London, and most of the corpses Leo attends to inside her uncle's city morgue are its victims. But when she witnesses a woman's death at a popular night club, and then follows a suspicious hooded figure retreating from the scene, Leo lands herself in the center of another complex Scotland Yard investigation—right where Detective Inspector Jasper Reid doesn't want her. 
     
     
     
    In the several weeks since the unconventional Leo Spencer helped him solve an explosive case, Jasper has kept the willful morgue assistant at arm's length. Now, the bride of one of the city's most dangerous crime lords has been poisoned, and his primary witness is the very woman he's been trying to avoid—if only because she is as fascinating as she is irritating. 
     
     
     
    Disregarding strict warnings to stay out of it, Leo insists on helping Jasper sort through his inquiry. When a death portrait of two mysterious children is found in the victim's handbag, and an unsolved Jane Doe case that haunts Jasper resurfaces, he and Leo begin to question if more than one crime—and killer—is at play. But discovering the truth might also mean walking into a carefully laid trap.

    Mena is happy with her lifestyle in Orlando, Florida since leaving home after high school graduation. She shares an apartment with a friend, Weija, whom she met on answering her advertisement for a roommate. They seem to get along very well. Mena works for a convenience store and gas station chain. Weija works for a sports bar franchise, plus bartending and food catering jobs parttime. Mena turned twenty-one this year. 
    Weija is older but they both like a lot of the same things. On Friday night’s they go out to their favorite club, Parades, where they enjoy line dancing. It’s where Mena met her boyfriend, Madez Perez, within the first six months out of high school and has been with him ever since. Sitting in her car Friday night, she dreams of Madez and his henchmen carrying out an attack on a gang of pill-pushers in his territory and she is frightened. In the pass, she’d told him she had a dream about him attacking one of his men, and he got angry and beat her. He’d threatened to kill her if she told anyone. 
    Mena lives with Weija during the week—Monday through Thursday—and weekends—Friday through Sunday—she stays with her boyfriend, Madez. He, is more than twice her age. He takes her out for dinner on occasion and out of the country. She believes he helps her live a better life. In time, she discovers he is a drug boss in the underbelly of society, but she thinks he’s good to her, when she stays on his good side and does what he says. 
    Mena tells Weija about her latest dinner date with Madez on Sunday and she decides to have her boyfriend, Cecil, take her to see what’s going on at the Eatonville supper club. 
    On Sunday evening, Mena goes with Madez for dinner at his regular eat-out place in Eatonville. He hasn’t said what’s special about the occasion, but he is very attentive to her. She loves him deeply and is mesmerized by his attention inside the club. When she senses someone rush up behind her, before she can see what is happening, she’s attacked…
