Beschreibung

When Juno Browne purchased a car for her lover, Daniel Thorncroft, she was not expecting that the previous owner would lock a dead body in the boot. Who the dead man could be is a persistent question, as is the whereabouts of the seller, Amber Horrell. While Inspector Ford and the Ashburton police are on the case, Juno's insatiable curiosity and concern for the missing Amber lead her to start sleuthing on her own. It turns out that the Horrells, Amber's family, are notorious in this corner of Devon, with an ancient murder and vanishing red diamond in their past and a shady antiques business very much in their present.

With a second murder, Juno's involvement in the investigation becomes more complicated and the line between reality and fiction also become blurred. But the truth, she discovers, is far more complicated than it seems.

    Taking justice into your own hands can be deadly... 
    After receiving a mysterious note from the man claiming to be her brother’s confidential informant, Special Agent Amelia Storm decides to trust fellow agent Zane Palmer with the truth. But as Amelia tells Zane about her murdered brother’s activities and her own ties to the mafia world, they’re called into work. A federal judge, along with her husband and daughter, have been murdered execution-style. The case reeks of mafia involvement, but several aspects of the case hint at something more personal. 
    There’s no doubt the hit was premeditated and carefully planned...except for one crucial fact. The killer left a witness behind, and though traumatized by the events she witnessed, the girl shares a few important details. The killer was a man...and he wasn’t alone. 
    Driven to settle a score and dictate their own brand of justice, the killers aren’t finished yet. As Amelia soon learns, they have a score to settle...and one of the Bureau’s own is next. 
    From the wickedly dark minds of Mary Stone and Amy Wilson comes Storm’s Justice, book seven of the Amelia Storm Series. Be careful who you aggravate. They may take justice into their own hands.

    Our greatest fears are of the unknown.  Usually we think those fears are in front of us…or behind us.  But perhaps the human body itself holds the greatest horror.  What happens after death?  Do our bodies have a new existence either in whole…..or part?  Will others seek to claim them and do unspeakable things?  We don’t know.  But our authors do. And they have the talents and wits to make these diabolical stories vehicles for horror, for terror, for the unimaginable….

    On the frontlines of the battle of the bulge, otherwise known as trying on bathing suits in the communal dressing room at Loehmann's, freelance writer Jaine Austen makes a new friend—a wannabe actress named Pam—and gets a new job: sprucing up Pam's bare-bones resume. Their feeling of connection is mutual, so Pam invites Jaine to join The PMS Club–a women's support group that meets once a week over guacamole and margaritas. 
     
     
     
    But joining the club proves to be more a curse than a blessing for Jaine. Though she is warned that Rochelle, the hostess, makes a guacamole to die for, Jaine never takes the warning literally. Until another PMS member, Marybeth, drops dead over a mouthful of the green stuff. Now instead of dishing dirt with The PMS Club, Jaine has to dig up the dirt on the surviving members . . .
