  “Mrs. Parks was often paid in gold dust, but she paid her girls in dollars …” 
   
  From the beloved Pulitzer Prize–winning and best-selling author: a rollicking murder mystery set in Gold Rush California, as two young prostitutes follow a trail of missing girls 
   
  Monterey, 1851. Ever since her husband was killed in a bar fight, Eliza Ripple has been working in a brothel. It seems like a better life, at least at first. The madam, Mrs. Parks, is kind, the men are (relatively) well behaved, and Eliza has attained  
  what few women have: financial security. But when the dead bodies of young women start appearing outside of town, a darkness descends that she can’t resist confronting. Side by side with her friend Jean, and inspired by her reading,  
  especially by Edgar Allan Poe’s detective, Dupin, Eliza pieces together an array of clues to try to catch the killer, all the while juggling clients who begin to seem more and more suspicious. 
   
  Eliza and Jean are determined not just to survive, but to find their way in a nascent town on the fringes of the Wild West—a bewitching combination of beauty and danger—as what will become the Civil War looms on the horizon. As  
  Mrs. Parks says, “Everyone knows that this is a dangerous business, but between you and me, being a woman is a dangerous business, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.”

  Mixing Mystery and Romance in a Fizzy 1930s Cocktail! 
  A missing masterpiece. A Nazi conspiracy. A European escape turned deadly. 
  Clive and Henrietta Howard’s return to Europe takes a dangerous turn when Inspector John Hartle recruits them to find a missing panel from the famous Ghent Altarpiece. Nazi agents are also hunting for this Renaissance treasure, believing it contains a coded map to ancient weapons of unimaginable power. 
  Their search leads to Château du Freudeneck in Alsace, ancestral home of Henrietta’s eccentric Von Harmon relatives. But when Nazi officers arrive at the remote château seeking a “valuable item,” what began as an art recovery mission becomes a deadly game of cat and mouse through the treacherous French countryside. 
  Meanwhile in Chicago, Elsie faces an impossible choice when a mysterious couple threatens to take little Anna away, while Julia, trapped in a troubled marriage, finds unexpected hope in a charming Texas rancher who wants more than just a painting from the Howard collection. 
  As danger closes in from all sides and family secrets surface, Clive and Henrietta must decide who they can trust in a world where nothing is as it seems. But in their race to keep the panel from Nazi hands, will they discover they’ve been playing the wrong game all along?

  Stories From The Shadows –...

  An author’s talents may seem obvious and indisputable as they move words and ideas into gathered phrases and stories.  
  But where do these ideas and stories come from?  A lonely thought that suddenly gathers form?  An inspiration from a Muse?  A suggestion from an everyday event? 
  Perhaps in the case of their darker, more malevolent stories, other forces are at work.  They help to nourish single words into sentences and paragraphs that ease themselves from the shadows and are suddenly upon us in twisted revelation that may thrill, may disturb, but will always engage and help us explore the edge of darkness where some of the very best literature patiently lurks …. waiting …. for the likes of me and you.

  The Reluctant Witness 
  (By Sal Blue) 
  Some truths refuse to stay buried. 
  Detective Darrius Blue thought the nightmare ended when the Confessional Killer was caught. But when a traumatized survivor emerges with whispers of an ancient brotherhood inside the Church—known only as The Order of Clemency—Darrius is pulled back into a web of secrets that reach higher and deeper than he ever imagined. 
  With Detective Sarah Donovan at his side, Blue’s pursuit of justice drags them through a maze of lies, sacred oaths, and silent witnesses who would rather die than speak. Each clue exposes another layer of corruption, each confession another soul lost to penance and power. 
  When a reclusive nun steps forward with evidence too damning to ignore, Blue must decide how far he’s willing to go for the truth—because in this investigation, even the innocent aren’t untouched, and the guilty hide behind holy walls. 
  As old enemies resurface and alliances blur, Blue discovers that salvation and damnation often share the same confessional. 
  Faith. Guilt. Vengeance. Redemption. 
  In The Reluctant Witness, the line between them is razor-thin—and crossing it may cost Darrius Blue everything.
