Summary

This classic mystery is “more than a mere crime puzzle. . . . It is a tragic event which deeply affects the destinies of those who are in any way involved” (The New York Times). 
 
The road to her aunt’s country house on Lake Michigan is dark and shrouded in fog. But it’s a road Katie Warren knows well, having taken up residence with her Aunt Mina after losing her job during the stock market crash. But as she enters the gates to the gloomy mansion, a figure appears in the murky darkness—and Katie drives right into it, resulting in the death of her ailing aunt’s longtime companion, Charlotte Weinberg.  
 
The police are called in to investigate and when it becomes clear there was no love lost between Katie and Charlotte, Katie falls under suspicion. But Katie has her own suspicions when she discovers the death in the fog was no accident at all. Now sharing her aunt’s house with a list of suspects, Katie must rely on her wits to find a murderer—before the murderer gets her first.

    Behind the Iron Curtain, the Truth Can Kill You. 
Europe, 1956. The Iron Curtain divides the Free West from the Soviet Bloc, and the battle for hearts and minds is waged with words, not bullets. Charlie Atkins, a 23-year-old California farm girl, works at Radio Free Europe in Munich, relaying Western news to millions trapped behind Soviet borders. She longs to report real stories—like her own, marked by the mysterious disappearance of her father, Captain A.J. Atkins, in the last days of World War II. 
Her boss dismisses her: too young, too green, too female. But when the Hungarian people rise against Soviet rule, Charlie sees her chance. Defying orders, she heads straight into the heart of Budapest—unaware that Soviet tanks and troops are already massing to crush the revolution. 
As the city erupts in chaos and the streets run red, Charlie must outwit soldiers, dodge bombs, and chase the truth before she’s silenced forever. Along the way, she uncovers secrets that could change her life—and reveal her father’s fate. 
Gripping, atmospheric, and inspired by true events, Byline Budapest is a riveting Cold War thriller of courage, ambition, and the price of chasing the story of a lifetime.

    Dylan Marchenko knows how routine can anchor a life—or unravel it. He’s a twenty-something Seattle produce driver haunted by a shadowed past: an age gap romance fraying at the edges, memories from Vietnam he keeps at bay, and a drifting sense that change is just another kind of trouble. 
Then, on a nightbound run to Montana, a tragic accident in a dark parking garage leaves Dylan broken and forgotten—unrecognizable, nearly lost for good. Days pass in mechanical darkness before he’s found, alive but forever changed. 
As Dylan fights back from injury and amnesia, watched over by a mother from the East Coast and a girlfriend ready to let go, his recovery becomes a journey of unexpected transformation. What emerges is a man rebuilt—affable, goofy, fiercely kind—learning to walk, speak, and love with brand new eyes. 
Set against the luminous grit of Seattle’s neighborhoods and the raw beauty of the Pacific Northwest, The Man Who Became Light is a story of hard-won redemption, the capacity for change, and the families we find or make anew. For anyone who’s wondered whether grace can arrive through tragedy, Dylan’s journey offers an unforgettable answer.
