  One good deed can change everything. 
  After saving a woman from an armed robber at a truck stop, former soldier John Lucky is more than happy to take her number, even if she does print it out on a lottery ticket.

  Survivors become sleuths to find a missing member of their book club in new-age Sedona, New Mexico . . . 
   
   
   
  Two things got Rarity Jones through her breast cancer treatments: friends and books. Now cancer-free, Rarity is devoting her life to helping others find their way through the maze to healing. She's opened a bookstore focusing on the power of healing—Eastern medicine, Western medicine, the healing power of food, the power of meditation, and the importance of developing a support community. To that end, she's also started the Tuesday Night Survivors book club. With its openness to new-age communities, Sedona, Arizona, is the perfect fit for Rarity's bookstore and the tightly knit group. 
   
   
    
  But their therapeutic unity is disrupted when one of their members suddenly goes missing. Martha has always kept to herself, never opening up much of her personal life to the group. Now she's nowhere to be found. With her car abandoned on a trail and her dog left with a friend, Rarity is sure something terrible has happened—but will she be able to uncover Martha's secrets before it's too late?

  A finales del mes de julio, al borde de las vacaciones y con el calor acechando cuerpos y mentes, el único objetivo del abogado protagonista de esta novela, con tanta habilidad para sacar adelante sus casos como pocos escrúpulos para complacer a sus clientes, es poder disfrutar de unos días de tranquilidad junto a su pareja y su hija.
  Pero ni la isla ni su trabajo le darán tregua. La isla, porque algunos de los cadáveres que con frecuencia recibe en sus costas tienen que ver —más de lo que parece— con su pasado, su familia y sus tejemanejes. Y su trabajo, porque un caso que implica a sus amistades más íntimas, y que ni siquiera quería aceptar, terminará por envolverlo en una historia de violencia, traición, corrupción y ambición que lo va sacando, poco a poco, de la seguridad que había encontrado al otro lado de la línea…
  … Una línea que no es más que un muro de adjetivos, esos que no aparecen por ningún lado en esta novela que C. J. Nieto ha pergeñado con el pulso de los maestros del género y que nos fascinará por su pericia en el estilo, su pulso al narrar y, también, por su control del tempo y la tensión en la narración, su ironía y, sí, su conciencia.
  Porque los adjetivos pesan, y esta novela, sin aditivos, nos hace evidente, en su ausencia, cómo su carga lastra las vidas de los que viven evitando asomarse al otro lado de ese muro que separa a los blancos de los negros, a los corruptos de los puros, a los legales de los ilegales, a los violentos de los pacíficos… Pero ¿qué hacer cuando ese muro se ha derrumbado?

Circumstances seem to point toward one partner—but Cathy intends to examine the evidence more closely . . .Deadly Diagnosis  As Betty Scott is dying, she warns Dr. Cathy Moreland that danger lurks at the charity shop where she volunteers.
