  Guido Brunetti is baffled by the apparent murder of a seemingly innocuous immigrant man, until a connection to his own youthful past resolves the story of the man’s death and a decades-old disappearance 
   
  On a cold November evening, Guido Brunetti and Paola are up late when a call from his colleague Ispettore Vianello arrives, alerting the Commissario that a hand has been seen in one of Venice’s canals. The body is soon found, and Brunetti is assigned to investigate the murder of an undocumented Sri Lankan immigrant.  
   
  Because no official record of the man’s presence in Venice exists, Brunetti is forced to use the city’s far richer sources of information: gossip and the memories of people who knew the victim. Curiously, he had been living in a small house on the grounds of a palazzo owned by a university professor, in which Brunetti  
  discovers books revealing the victim’s interest in Buddhism, the revolutionary Tamil Tigers, and the last crop of Italian political terrorists, active in the 1980s. 
   
  As the investigation expands, Brunetti, Vianello, Commissario Griffoni, and Signora Elettra each assemble pieces of a puzzle—random information about real estate and land use, books, university friendships—that appear to have little in common.  
   
  Then, Brunetti stumbles over something that transports him back to his own student days, causing him to reflect on lost ideals and the errors of youth, on Italian politics and history, and on the accidents that sometimes lead to discovery.

  To err is human, to end up in the supernatural afterlife in a hot dog suit is divine. 
   
   
  When Eloise Worthington drops dead and awakens in the afterlife, she knows she doesn’t belong—mainly because she’s surrounded by a supernatural cocktail of species she never knew existed. Gods, witches, vampires, werewolves—and now Eloise, a middle-aged human more concerned with getting her way than getting out of someone else’s. She quickly learns that this supernatural retirement village isn’t the last stop on the Afterlife Express and villagers can be blinked out of existence, which is exactly what happens to Zeus. Yes, that Zeus. 
  Unfortunately, it appears that Eloise is to blame—or is she? Never one to shy away from a challenge—although her idea of a challenge usually involves tequila and a cartwheel—Eloise sets out to clear her name and, in the process, figure out where she truly belongs. 
   
  Welcome to Divine Place, because sometimes a fresh start requires a little divine intervention. 
   
  Murder and Mahjong is the first book in the Divine Place supernatural cozy mystery series.

  I am not a freak, although many people call me that. The night my father was murdered and I was left for dead, I awoke with the ability to "sense" things. Touching things can give me visions, sometimes horrifying, murderous ones. 
   
   
   
  The bones of a murdered woman are unearthed and our safe small town is shaken to its core. Her killer was good at hiding the truth and after decades in the ground, any clues are gone—her murder a complete mystery. The only clues are the ones I can see. 
   
   
   
  My brother was recently promoted to head detective. With no other clues, you think he'd be thrilled to have my help, but he'd rather pretend I don't exist than use my gifts. Thank heavens, his handsome partner doesn't agree and calls me in. 
   
   
   
  Although I'm terrified to touch her, the mysterious skeleton has a story that needs to e told. When I grip the bones, I live through her murder. The message I see changes me— changes everything. 
   
   
   
  The only person who believes me is the one man who knows the truth of my visions—the killer. He's desperate to keep his secrets buried. Now he hunts a new prey—me. I don't need psychic powers to know he's right behind me—closing in—about to strike.

  In a world that looks perfectly ordinary, the thin veil of reality begins to stretch and tear in this haunting psychological narrative. The story explores the unsettling sensation that life is not being lived for the first time, but rather replayed according to a hidden, invisible script. As the mundane rhythms of a city morning take on a choreographed and mechanical precision, a quiet sense of dread permeates every interaction. This atmospheric work delves into the psychological weight of persistent déjà vu, where every minor coincidence feels like a signal from a truth just out of reach. Readers are invited to question the nature of free will versus predestination in a landscape where the past and present seem to collide without warning. It is a cerebral journey that challenges the boundaries between a mind under stress and a world that may be fundamentally flawed. In this gripping exploration of perception, the most terrifying element isn't what is unknown, but what feels far too familiar.
