    Florence Winslow wakes up in hospital to the news that she has killed a man. On the way to visit her in-laws in rural Connecticut, a car comes out of an unseen junction and ploughs into her. The driver is killed, and Florence is lucky to be alive. Dylan Bodine, a young detective in the Torrington PD, feels she was extremely lucky. Too lucky? Something about the accident doesn’t add up. As he and his partner, experienced Senior Detective Carrie Fuller, whose last case this is, start to dig deeper, they realize that Florence isn’t just anyone. She’s the estranged daughter-in-law of Lyndon Winslow, head of one of the wealthiest and most influential families in America. Why had she been invited to visit Lyndon and his children after all these years apart? Why was she taking that particular slower route to the family house? Why was the dead driver carrying no ID? When they learn that Lyndon is dying and his vast fortune is at stake, they realize that things are a lot murkier than they seem and no one is to be trusted.

    A crafty thief and a rugged mercenary must team up to survive a lethal game of deceit and vengeance. 
    Lucky Rodriguez-Toscani, alias The Fox, is more than a master thief; she is a woman seeking vengeance for her murdered parents. Her quarry: Santiago Orozco, the ruthless leader of a notorious cartel. But taking him down requires more than just cunning. She needs brawn. And for that, she turns to Adam Shepherd, a battle-hardened ex-Delta Force mercenary with a propensity for violence. 
    Their tumultuous past complicates matters, but nothing motivates cooperation quite like a common enemy. Together, Lucky and Shepherd navigate a dangerous world of crime and corruption, from daring bank heists to high-stakes border runs, each step bringing them closer to Orozco. 
    But as they begin to close in, it becomes clear that Orozco's ambitions reach far beyond the confines of the criminal underworld—he aims to infiltrate the highest echelons of power and place the free world under his control. Orozco’s grand vision: the American President as his personal puppet. 
    The task ahead is formidable. Lucky and Shepherd must bury their past, manage their mistrust, and unite in their attempt to outwit and overpower a rapidly ascending wolf…or fall prey to his deadly designs. 
    An adrenaline-charged thrill ride of revenge, betrayal, and redemption, Shepherd and The Fox promises to hold you captive till the very last word.

    The Dancing Floor by John Buchan is a haunting blend of mystery, mythology, and romance. The story follows Sir Edward Leithen, who encounters Vernon Milburne, a young man guarding a secret tied to the enigmatic island of Plakos in Greece. As Leithen investigates, he uncovers a tale of ancient rituals, forbidden love, and a cursed family haunted by the legend of Persephone. The titular "dancing floor" refers to a sacred space central to the island’s eerie traditions. Buchan weaves themes of cultural clash, spiritual awakening, and the thin veil between the rational and supernatural. Rich with atmospheric detail and suspense, the novel explores the tension between modernity and primal forces. A mesmerizing mix of adventure and mysticism, The Dancing Floor captivates readers with its exploration of fate, faith, and the enduring power of myth.
