  Chicago, 1898. In the midst of the Progressive Era, twenty-one-year-old junior detective Harriet Morrow is determined to prove she's more than a lucky hire as the Prescott Agency's first woman operative. But her latest challenge—a murder case steeped in scandal—could become a deadly setback . . . 
   
  As the Windy City thaws from a harsh winter, Harriet Morrow finds herself doubting her investigative skills when she's assigned to solve a high-stakes murder case well above her pay grade. And there's also a catch. Harriet must somehow blend in as an "unremarkable" young woman—one who feels confident in skirts, not men's clothing—on a quest to infiltrate the immigrant community at the center of the grisly crime . . . 
   
  The mystery has more twists and turns than her morning bike commute, with a muckraker found murdered in a southside tenement building after obtaining evidence of a powerful politician's corruption. While Harriet gains the trust of the tenement's women residents to gather clues, the undercover mission reveals an innocent mother might have been framed for the crime—and exposes ties to another violent death. Harriet will need to survive rising threats to assert her place in a world that's quick to dismiss her—and out a killer who's always one step ahead . . .

  A giant grizzly on a killer rampage terrorizes a small ranch community—and lures legendary mountain man Smoke Jensen into the deadliest trap of all: the human kind. … 
   
  JOHNSTONE COUNTRY. HUNT OR BE HUNTED. 
   
  The bear seems harmless—at first. Just a lost and confused grizzly poking around Big Rock. Then the killings begin. A horse wrangler is mangled. A rancher mauled.  
   
  Then a bartender in the heart of town is found clawed to a bloody pulp. Now every man in Big Rock is taking up arms to hunt down the beast before it strikes again—which worries the local sheriff. He's afraid this amateur hunting party could turn into a mass funeral real fast. So he asks Smoke Jensen to help keep everyone calm and contain the panic. Unfortunately, it's too late. The panic is out of control. And the hunt is on. … 
   
  While the gun-toting locals head for the hills in search of the bear, a ruthless gang of bank robbers ride into the half-empty town—armed to the teeth. Then a professional wild game hunter shows up offering to kill the grizzly—for a price. If that wasn't enough, a traveling medicine man claims the bear is part of his act—and wouldn't hurt a soul. Smoke Jensen isn't sure what to believe or who to trust.  
   
  But one thing is certain: Where there are jaws, claws, and outlaws, there will be blood. …
