Synopsis

Autumn, 1941. The third year of war and still the siren sounds, driving the people of Cambridge from their beds to trudge to one of the city's crowded bomb shelters. At dawn, the body of a young man is found in a shadowy corner. Everything points to suicide, but Detective Inspector Eden Brooke has his doubts given the unidentified man has a suspiciously tropical suntan and the detective's office telephone number scrawled on the back of his hand. Did the victim know his life was in danger?

Brooke's caseload doubles when a local factory making submarine periscopes discovers it has a saboteur on the workforce. The city's police are at full-stretch. Then two more men are found dead in the city's shelters. A blackout killer is on the loose. The trail leads Brooke to the university, a laboratory which hides a brutal secret, and the key to a startling mystery.

Each vintage, every bottle from Oliver's Mudgee-based label, Four Dogs Missing, sells out.And now, after fifteen years without contact, Theo unexpectedly turns up at his brother's vineyard, bearing an invitation that his twin knows nothing about. The quiet and fulfilling life that the winemaker has built for himself is about to change overnight: Theo's arrival is the catalyst for a series of murders involving those closest to Oliver. Finding himself the main suspect, Oliver soon discovers that not everyone in Mudgee supports a reclusive and unorthodox vigneron who's shied away from the community that helped him succeed.Oliver is inexorably drawn into a sinister world where poisoned liquor and stolen art leave a deadly trail. Abandoning his grapevines, he sets out to solve the crimes - and confront his damaged past - before someone else he loves is found dead ... beside a bottle of his own wine.PRAISE FOR FOUR DOGS MISSING:'I can confirm that no dog has been harmed in this rich debut, but villains sure have. Rhys Gard's novel will appeal to Chris Hammer readers who like to mix fine wine with their crime.' - CANDICE FOX, author of The Chase

    Hazel Greenwood, an awkward, late-blooming witch, finds true friendship and love while solving magical mysteries in this light, funny series that's been compared to "a mug of hot cocoa." 
    Hazel's not your average cat-loving witch who owns a bakery. She's got scars, the invisible kind; growing up, her magic and her confidence were smothered by her shallow Beige Witch mom and sisters. Now, at twenty-eight, Hazel's finally coming into her power and is a force to be reckoned with in her magical community, the idyllic seaside town of Blue Moon Bay. 
    But even though the Bay appears picture-perfect, with its quaint shops and misty mornings where sea spray mingles with magic, mysteries lurk beneath its small-town charm. When Hazel's thrust into the middle of a murder investigation in order to clear her boyfriend's name, she's surprised to find allies in her former high school rivals, neurodivergent bobcat shifter Max and ex-mean-girl-cheerleader Britt (now a chill, non-judgmental vampire). Soon Hazel's helped form an unstoppable trio of supernatural detectives. Now if only hot deputy Elliot James would share police intelligence with her ... along with any other secrets he might be keeping. 
    Wrapped in warmth, humor, and the cozy comfort of found family, the Blue Moon Bay Witches series weaves together magic, mystery, and romance into a spell you won't want to break. Dive into the enchanting world of Blue Moon Bay today.

    When Jan Frischof, a dying elderly man, gives a deathbed confession too unbelievable to be true, journalist Heloise Kaldan immediately knows there’s a deeper story to uncover. Her gut soon proves to be right—Jan immediately backtracks and warns her that they will both be in danger if she asks any more questions. Could this kind and elderly man really be a cold-blooded killer? Heloise quickly realizes that this is a darker, and far more complicated, investigation. Jan is clearly afraid of something, but who or what he’s afraid of could be a dangerous question for Heloise to find the answer to. As she digs deeper, Heloise begins to see that Jan's confession is connected to a string of decades-old disappearances. But next of kin and police are lying to her at every turn, and she has no idea what else Jan could be hiding. Enlisting her friend, detective inspector Erik Schäfer, Heloise begins her descent into the past, unsure of what she will unearth.
