  The Australian Government is facing a national embarrassment when two ASIS 
  (Australian Secret Intelligence Service) agents have gone missing on the
   Mornington Peninsula along with top secret files, mobile telephones, and their laptops.
   
  The director of ASIS decides to sidestep accountability by using the National Missing Persons (NMPCC) arm of the AFP (Australian Federal Police), and tasks the team of operation Reveles to work covertly to ensure that this matter never leaks out to the local population in the town of Sorrento nor become a feeding frenzy for the Australian Media.
   
  AFP Lead Detective Emir ‘Eddy’ Muravic under the supervision of his boss AFP Inspector Phil Morris soon discovers that the chic town of Sorrento is not just full of party goers, holiday makers, sea, and tree changers and ‘A Listers’ but an underbelly which could threaten his own family, and childhood visions of the Mornington Peninsula.

  "... 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.

  Peculiar happenings aboard the schooner Helen B. Jackson when one night during a storm, the small crew found themselves diminished by one. Somebody had gone overboard, and it was surmised that it was one of the twin Benton brothers. But oddly enough, it seemed that the 'presence' of the missing twin continued to exist on board during the following weeks. For example, one extra set of silverware was found to be used after each meal, but nobody claimed to be using them. What then did happen that stormy night, and which brother, if indeed it was one of the brothers, was the man who went overboard? (Summary by Roger Melin)

  In this brand new series from national bestseller Mindy Mejia, a physicist and a psychic reluctantly team up to solve two missing persons cases during a deadly ice storm in Iowa  
   
  When her husband’s car is found abandoned and on fire—in the middle of a rainstorm—Eve Roth becomes the police’s number one suspect. After all, her husband was suspended from the University of Iowa for inappropriate conduct with a student, and who else but an atmospheric  
  physicist could incinerate a car in a downpour? But Eve has no idea why her husband disappeared. She’s desperate to find him, both for herself and her beloved, disabled father-in-law. 
   
  Jonah Kendrick appears on their doorstep with a theory. He’s seen Eve’s husband, bound and bleeding in a barn. Claiming to be a psychic detective who dreams of the lost, Jonah has helped find missing people his entire life. He dreamed about a young woman trapped in the same barn  
  months ago, and she’s still missing. 
   
  As a firm believer in the laws of nature, Eve rejects anything to do with psychics, but their investigations soon collide. As the temperature drops and Iowa turns to ice, Eve and Jonah race across the state to discover what happened to the people they’ve lost. But the truth is more deadly than  
  either of them expected, and the physicist and the psychic must learn to believe in each other if they want to escape this storm alive.
