  What's an Inquisitor to do when she's not even sure she has a victim . . . ? 
   
   
   
  Now chief of the Whitewitch Island police department, if temporarily, Georgia is called on to intervene when a disturbance has her investigating at The Acropolis Hotel. Accusations fly about a missing girl her mother claims is dead, while the owner's nephew makes it clear he doesn't respect Georgia's authority or anyone else's for that matter. But when one of their number turns up dead alongside an older death that looks far too similar to be a coincidence, Georgia and Benny fall down a deep, dark rabbit hole of lies, deceit, double-crossing and homicide, among other criminal activities. But will they have to resort to magic to unravel the truth before the killer gets away with murder?

  The BRAND NEW psychological thriller from bestseller Diane Saxon 
  She’s been lying my whole life... 
  As if my mum breaking her hip and being rushed to hospital isn't shocking enough for one day, now in her post-operative delirium, she's just told me I'm not her daughter. That she has never been able to have children. 
  The nurse reassures me that people are often confused after a trauma. But I know this woman so well and I can tell there's a grain of truth in what she says. Which begs the questions: Who am I? Where did I come from? 
  When I dig into the truth, I suddenly stir up a hornet's nest of secrets, lies – and possibly a crime so unfathomable – that stretches back decades. 
  What has my mum done? 
  Can I trust her? 
  Or has my digging put us both in peril of our lives? 
  Diane Saxon’s new, absorbing thriller explores deceit, love, loyalty and family ties.

  The eighth book of this dark urban fantasy series follows necromancer Eric Carter through a world of vengeful gods and goddesses, mysterious murders, and restless ghosts. 
   
   
   
  If there's one thing Eric Carter can count on, it's his past coming back to bite him in the ass. 
   
   
    
  Gabriela Cortez, La Bruja, has had her soul trapped . . . somewhere, and the only one who knows how to get it back is the Oracle of Las Vegas, a powerful artifact that Carter helped create almost thirty years before. It doesn't just predict the future—it makes things happen, influencing events to reach the goal it wants. 
   
   
    
  Only somebody's gone and stolen it, attempting to turn it into an artifact that doesn't just change the future, but also the past. 
   
   
    
  Eric needs to find it and steal it back before this comes to pass. If he doesn't, Gabriela's soul is lost. And quite possibly the future as well.

  “The greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps ever!”—New York Times Book Review 
  When the all-time greats of mystery/noir/crime fiction are mentioned (John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, Robert Parker, etc.), Elmore Leonard’s name invariably tops the list. A true Leonard classic, The Big Bounce showcases all of the Grand Master’s acclaimed skills—twisty plotting, unforgettable characters, dialogue so razor sharp it could draw blood—as he chronicles the misadventures of a larcenous young man in a Michigan resort town who’s irresistibly drawn to a dangerous femme fatale, a rich man’s plaything, and the nasty little caper they plan to pull off together—if they can somehow manage to survive each other. The acclaimed creator of Raylan (aka U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, lately of TV’s smash hit Justified), Leonard has never lost the mojo that makes him “the King Daddy of crime writers” (Seattle Times).
