  Nobody robs banks in Belfast without the IRA getting a cut—not even former Provo James "Ructions" O'Hare. But when word gets around O'Hare may be up to something, the pressure from the IRA begins. 
   
   
   
  Ructions trusts his crack squad of former paramilitary compadres, and has full confidence in his audacious plan: To literally empty the biggest bank in Belfast by kidnapping the families of two employees—known as a "tiger" kidnapping—in order to force them to help Ructions and his crew get into the bank's vault. 
   
   
   
  But keeping the plan—and the money—from the IRA is another plan entirely, one requiring all Ructions's cunning and skill. 
   
   
   
  In this stunning debut novel, as audacious and well-executed as Ructions's plan to rob the National Bank itself, Richard O'Rawe—a former IRA bank robber himself—unleashes a story that will shock, surprise, and thrill as he takes you on a white-knuckle ride through Belfast's criminal underbelly. Enter the deadly world of tiger kidnappings, kangaroo courts, money laundering, drug deals, and double-crosses.

  When Tina Evans gets a call from her brother in the middle of the night, she doesn’t think much of it; she’s been fielding distress calls from Bill for the last twenty years, ever since the day their father killed their mother. At first, this call seems just like all the others: Bill’s holed up in a Brooklyn drug den and needs her to come rescue him. But when Tina gets there, her brother’s nowhere to be found. Instead, she discovers the body of a private detective hidden in the junk heap out back. He’s been shot to death, and his gun is missing from its holster. Tina’s about to dial 911 when she receives a three-letter text message from a number she doesn’t recognize: “Shh...” Tina doesn’t believe in coincidence—the death of this detective and her brother’s disappearance must be related. But how? Could it be her father pulling the strings from his prison cell? And is she willing to risk her own freedom—and her life—to uncover the truth?

  THE ADVENTURE OF THE NORWOOD REMBRANDT. SHERLOCK HOLMES IS IN A RACE AGAINST TIME TO SAVE AN INNOCENT MAN FROM THE GALLOWS AND SOLVE THE MYSTERY OF THE DISAPPEARANCE OF INVALUABLE WORKS OF ART.
  
  A man facing execution in two weeks appeals to Sherlock Holmes to save him from the gallows. He claims that he is innocent and Holmes agrees to take on his case. Five years earlier he was convicted of the largest theft of art masterpieces in British history, and of murdering the butler who tried to stop him. With time running out, Holmes and Watson have to find the real murderer and the missing works of art ---this is, if the client is innocent after all. This new Sherlock Holmes mystery is a tribute to The Adventure of the Norwood Builder in the original Canon.

  "... a wild ride sure to please lovers of supernatural historical mysteries." – Publishers Weekly 
  Thousands of exhibits. Millions of visitors. One fiendish killer. 
  Neva's goals at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago are simple. Enjoy the spectacle—perhaps the greatest the United States has ever put on (the world's fair to end all world's fairs!). Perform in the exposition's Algerian Theatre to the best of her abilities. And don't be found out as a witch. 
  Easy enough … until the morning she looks up in the theatre and sees strangely marked insects swarming a severed hand in the rafters. Before she can scream, the bugs drop and swarm her. 
  And every one of them seems to have a stinger. 
  They strike fast—it only takes them a moment to inject her with so much venom that the same strange marks begin to rise on her skin. She's horrified, but there's worse to come: once the insects disperse, a Columbian Guard notices her rashes and warns that five people with similar sores have been murdered and dismembered. Before they died, the victims also seem to have lost their minds. 
  Neva considers fleeing the exposition. But that won't stop her from going mad. So she marshals her powers and searches for the killer. 
  Within hours, it becomes clear he's searching for her too. 
  An intricate story with a breakneck pace, Witch in the White City blends history, mystery, and magic in a way that will appeal to fans of The Devil in the White City, The Golem and the Jinni, and Black Leopard, Red Wolf.
