  ""I suppose every hundred million dollars has its own sordid story and the hundred million I am chasing is no exception..."" So begins Veritas, William Lashner's riveting follow-up to his bestselling debut novel, Hostile Witness. Victor Carl -- lawyer, loser, hapless hero of Hostile Witness, and a Philadelphian way out of his element -- has come to the sweat-drenched jungles of Belize to chase his fortune. Finding it is something else entirely.  
  Coerced into defending an unpleasant parade of mob enforcers, two-bit hoods, and other Philadelphian riffraff, Carl wants out of his shabby, squalid life more than ever. So when a terrified young woman offers Carl an unusual -- but substantial -- proposition, he leaps at the opportunity to trade in his grubby existence for a life of wealthy excess.  
  The job -- proving that the recent suicide of wealthy Philadelphian heiress Jacqueline Shaw was not a suicide at all but murder -- plunges Carl into an eerie shadow world, where events buried deep in the past exert an awful weight in the present, a world of overturned gravesites, gruesome secrets, and a haunted, lonely estate that houses the broken and dying heirs of a once-powerful family.  
  Simultaneously caught up in an exploding mob war and the machinations of an avaricious cult, Carl realizes too late that he's in way over his head, as he races against time to collect his fee and get out alive. As Carl edges closer to the truth, a truth that is concealed in the mists of a bygone era and now awaits him in the rainforests of Belize, he learns firsthand that the most terrifying darkness crouches not in the heart of the jungle surrounding him but in the deepest yearnings of the human soul.

  Enjoy this witty, small town paranormal, cozy mystery by award-winning and bestselling author Lucinda Race. 
  Welcome to Pembroke Cove, where witches and murders are multiplying... 
  In less than a week, wedding bells will ring for Gage Erikson—a.k.a. Detective Cutie—and bookstore owner and witch Lily Michaels. Lily’s to-do list is already a mile long. Adding “solve a murder” wasn’t part of the plan. But they have little choice when Lily discovers a dead Elemental witch across the street, revealing a grudge that threatens to upend not just their big day, but the entire Pembroke Cove coven. 
  Long ago, the Elementals had grown jealous of the power wielded by the witches in the Pembroke Cove coven, vowing to return and take their rightful place within the coven council…triggered by a leadership change. Meanwhile, Lily learns her wedding will be the catalyst and wishes she’d actually read the entire witch’s handbook. 
  Gage is determined to keep his puzzle-loving fiancé out of the case this time—no murder board. No sleuthing. The only thing he wants to discuss with her is their wedding. However, not even the elements of earth, wind, water, or fire will stop Lily’s investigation. But will they stop the wedding? It will take all of Lily and Gage’s witchy friends, family, and Lily’s familiar—the talking cat, Milo—to solve a murder and pull off the long-awaited wedding. It’s a good thing Lily and Gage have the most potent magic in the universe on their side—love. 
  				 
  Visit Pembroke Cove in this charming supernatural tale where bookshops meet broomsticks and Lily and Gage will need more than magical abilities to make it to “I do.” 
  Weddings & Wands is the twelfth novel in the A Book Store Cozy Mystery Series; although each book can be enjoyed as a standalone, it is best to enjoy them in order. It is a humorous, small town, cozy mystery that guarantees the culprit is caught. Enjoy!

  Fashion designer Maddie Springer is a huge fan of the Lord of the Throne books by J. R. Ravensberg. So when her best friend, Dana, gets cast as the lead actress in the upcoming movie version, she's giddy with fandom! Even more so when she's invited for a girls' weekend on the set—currently being filmed in the wilds of Moose Haven, Saskatchewan. But what starts out as a fangirl's dream quickly turns into something out of a horror movie, when the demanding director of the film shows up dead . . . stabbed with a prop sword! 
   
   
   
  It's no secret Dana had her differences with the difficult director, and the local police have her squarely in their sights as suspect number one. Worse yet, no one is allowed to leave the small Moose-obsessed town, and Maddie's meddling mom, hot husband, and flamboyant friend Marco are all threatening to descend! With the locals growing hostile and the police zeroing in on her BFF, it's up to Maddie to figure out who had the director taking his final bow. Problem is, everyone has a motive—from the director's frigid wife, to the young starlet with a secret, the mysterious actor playing the Evil Prince, the producer with an eye on the bottom line, and even the eccentric author, Ravensberg himself. If Maddie doesn't watch her step, this may be one movie without a happy Hollywood ending . . .

  The shadows at Brannon House don't just watch . . . They remember. 
   
  When Billa feels eyes following her every move in her cottage on the edge of the estate, she dismisses it as paranoia—the lingering trauma of her kidnapping. But as the sensation intensifies, she reluctantly considers the one place she swore she'd never move into: the mansion. 
   
  Meanwhile, new mother Kenzi is harboring secrets that even she may not fully understand—memories hidden away by time, trauma . . . or something far darker. As she searches for her missing psychiatric files from Radley Institution, disturbing questions emerge. Was her time there longer than anyone has admitted? And what really happened in the abandoned theater on the grounds? 
   
  When Billa's kidnapper resurfaces with more demands, the family's fragile peace shatters. Carol, the devoted auntie, grows increasingly protective of the newborn as strange occurrences plague the estate. 
   
  As the walls of Brannon House close in, one thing becomes clear—the past isn't just haunting them, it's hunting them. 
   
  Will they uncover the truth before history claims another victim . . . or are the Brannons bound to bleed for their legacy?
