Summary

Peril, humour, heartbreak, justice...no two police shifts are the same.
 
The highs and lows of cops on the job. The cases that make them, break them, bring them laughs, maybe even love.
 
Police on the beat, working one-officer shops, and seasoned detectives pursuing a cunning home intruder, a full-moon prankster, false friends and vengeful partners. Adrenaline-charged car chases, unsanctioned surveillance, intense interrogation. The impact of a child's tragic death. The import of unearthing what happened to an infant and her mother. Lives saved and crooks captured.
 
This gripping collection of Sandi Wallace's award-winning short fiction-'Busted', 'Silk Versus Sierra' and 'Losing Heidi'-along with new and never-before released verse and stories, includes 'Impact', a finalist in the international Cutthroat Rick DeMarinis Short Story Contest.
Available since: 12/22/2021.

    Opening her shop Cashmere Crush and making a new home for herself, her son Brody, Gramps, and their black Scottish terrier Wallace in the beautiful Scottish village of Nairn, is a dream come true. So Paislee is happy to give back by donating a luxurious cashmere sweater for an auction to raise money for the Nairn Food Bank.

It turns out to be the latter for queen bee Kirsten Buchanan when a peanut-laced shortbread cookie triggers her fatal nut allergy. 
     
     
      
    Who would poison Kirsten? How about half the town? But when Paislee's pal Blaise is suspected, the sweater-selling sleuth leaps into action to unravel the mystery. Along with gruff but handsome DI Mack Zeffer, she has to sort through a batch of suspects without becoming this cookie-cutter killer's next target . . .

    The last thing Danny wants to see published is his obituary 
    The year is 1975. Danny Jacobs is an ambitious, young American journalist who’s just arrived in Bombay for a new assignment. He’s soon caught up in the chaos of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s domestic “Emergency.” 
    Willy Smets is Danny’s enigmatic expat neighbor. He’s a charming man, but with suspicious connections. As a monsoon drenches Bombay, Danny falls hard for Sushmita, Smets’s beguiling and clever lover—and the infatuation is mutual. 
    "The Emergency," a virtual coup by the prime minister, is only the first twist in the high-stakes drama of Danny’s new life in India. The assassination of a police officer by a Marxist extremist, as well as Danny’s obsession with the inscrutable Sushmita, conspire to put his career—and life—in jeopardy. And, of course, the temptations of Willy Smets’s seductive personality sit squarely at the heart of the matter.  
     Democracy is fragile and the lines of loyalty and betrayal often cross and cannot be untangled.  
     Perfect for fans of Ken Follett and Steve Berry
