  Warning: Explicit Content. "Nonstop Embarrassment at the Phony Free Clinic" Series.  “The
  clinic is free…but the price is too high!” So says every woman unfortunate enough to be treated at the “Care One Free Clinic.” In exchange for “free” medical care, these poor women, young and old, pay dearly by enduring spartan conditions, low-end everything, and a lack of privacy that is downright appalling.
   
  
   
  Worse, although there is an experienced M.D. running the joint, a certain Dr. Jesse Langford, nearly all of the “free care” offered out here is conducted by three young, horny college men, including his lonely, touch-starved son, Byron. All are nothing but first-year pre-med
  students—woefully unqualified to be ordering shivering women out of their clothes and into a plethora of humiliating procedures.
   
  
   
  What these poor women must endure in order to save money is appalling—all so that four young men who have no interest in becoming doctors can have the thrill of their lives. It’s disgraceful, disturbing, and disgusting…which, according to these guys, is a very good thing!
   
  In this tale of sleaze and sin, opportunistic restaurant owner Donny Durkin is bringing his three new waitresses, who have recently arrived from Ireland, to spend the summer working on Cape Cod for physicals, as required by the federal government for all foreign food service workers. But since neither of them has health coverage in the States, Donny has no choice
  but to bring them to the CareOne Free Clinic.
   
  
   
  Well, there’s embarrassment, and there’s embarrassment! Upon arrival, the three nervous newbies are immediately instructed to disrobe completely right in front of waiting patients…and himself! Then the shivering lassies must endure the indignity of being examined side by side by a gawky medical school freshman, Byron, while Donny continues to look on! Talk about a mind-blowing lineup!

  Poppy’s life has never been easy. Becoming a mum at sixteen, falling out with her family, and being abandoned by her boyfriend has left her feeling lost and alone, but her son is a ray of light in her life, and the pair form a strong bond: it’s the two of them against the world. Many years later, with her son grown up and away at university, Poppy arrives desperate, exhausted, and half-starved to a pretty doorstep, hoping to find sanctuary in the home of her old school friend Harriet—and it is clear things have gone horribly wrong. Finding Harriet living with her sister Jessica and nephew Reef, Poppy soon settles into a comfortable life in their rural village, helping Harriet in her delightful fabric shop, and believing the sisters have offered her a way to start again with a clean slate. But as the hardships she has fled catch up with her and cracks in the sisters' strange relationship begin to show, Poppy is suspicious of Harriet’s true motivations for helping her and fears her only option will be to flee once again. With bonds between the three women tested to breaking point and dark secrets revealed, will Poppy find safety and happiness, or has she simply fled one nightmare to end up in another? No Safe Haven is a twisty tale of friendship, family, and loyalty in a world where everyone has something to hide.

  Local girls' soccer coach Sven-Gunnar Erlandsson is practically a saint in the community, known for his good works and volunteering. So when his body is found in Stockholm's beautiful Herräng forest, shot at close range in the back of the neck while walking home from a late-night poker game, the police struggle to find a motive. Nothing has been taken from his pockets except his cell phone, and the only other clues left behind are a cryptic handwritten note and a handful of playing cards. 
   
   
   
  The Hammarby murder squad takes the case, splitting up the leads between their eclectic mix of officers. Led by Detective Chief Inspector Conny Sjöberb, the team also includes a veteran inspector who balances his career with caring for his disabled daughter, a widow who has returned to police work after several decades spent as a homemaker and pursuing a law degree, a new transplant who recently achieved minor celebrity status as an Idol contestant, and a young police assistant struggling with trauma she can't share with her colleagues. 
   
   
   
  Each member of the team pursues a different lead and, as they interview Erlandsson's friends and family, they discover a disturbing web of secrets, including a possible link to the cases of two missing girls. Could Erlandsson have been less of a saint than everyone thinks?
