Synopsis

A Yorkshire cop’s reunion with old friends is marred by murder in this mystery by “the finest male English contemporary crime writer” (Val McDermid).   With his longtime girlfriend, Ellie, detective Peter Pascoe is off to Thornton Lacey for an exciting weekend reunion with a few of his college friends. However, upon arrival, he finds no cause for celebration. Instead, there’s been a triple homicide, and one of his friends—the chief suspect—is missing.   Pascoe is eager to assist with the case, but the local constabulary doesn’t seem to welcome outside help. Meanwhile, Pascoe’s superior, the incorrigibly rude Andy Dalziel, needs him back home to find the culprit behind a series of burglaries. Torn between two cases and two jurisdictions, Pascoe knows he must solve these cases quickly—if not for a sense of loyalty to his friends or duty to his job, then at least for his own sanity.   Ruling Passion is the 3rd book in the Dalziel and Pascoe Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.  Praise for Ruling Passion  “Recipe for a winner: combine the best elements of the gritty procedural with a protagonist reminiscent of Dick Francis, then add a gallery of three-dimensional town-and-country characters and repartee worthy of Rex Stout.” —Kirkus Reviews

    Two novels of sizzling romantic suspense set in the steamy Florida Keys from a New York Times–bestselling author who “always entertains” (Heather Graham). In one volume, two gripping novels from Meryl Sawyer, who “writes romantic suspense that keeps you turning pages with lightning speed” (New York Times–bestselling author Kristin Hannah).  Half Moon Bay: Her safety in the witness protection program suddenly compromised, Amy Conroy is on the run until a car accident lands her in a Key West Hospital. When she’s mistaken for the dead driver, Amy undergoes reconstructive surgery and steps into the strange woman’s identity—and a passionate and risky relationship with a handsome investigative journalist. But her new life as Shelly Ralston is much more treacherous than she bargained for, and a madman with murder in mind has his eye on her.  Thunder Island: A dedicated member of Miami’s K9 search-and-rescue unit, Jennifer Whitmore is in Key West for an antiterrorism unit when she finds herself face-to-face with the man she once loved. The unexpected reunion awakens a desire they’d both thought long dead, complicating the task at hand when the pair must join forces to rescue a missing child. Neither of them anticipates the twisted tangle of lies they will uncover at an elite resort—or the disturbing secrets someone will kill to keep.
