Summary

Renowned crime writer Arne Dahlgren has just finished his fifteenth manuscript at his house in Glommen. For years, he's relied on a circle of eight test readers who, until now, have never known about each other's existence.

When what initially appears to be a tragic accident is reclassified as murder, suspicion falls on the author himself. But when a second killing occurs, prosecutor Ylva Isaksson – who happens to be one of the eight readers – begins to see a disturbing pattern emerging.
Is she next on the list?

Meanwhile, Detective Inspector Kajsa Rudolfsson and her colleagues in Falkenberg's serious crimes unit are struggling with a new boss who's nothing like their much-loved former chief Raúl Morales – and who seems to have an agenda of his own.
A gripping tale of secrets, betrayal, and deadly obsession.

The third book in the Falkenberg Murders series

    While Ettie Smith is grappling with a pain in her back, a far more sinister agony sweeps through her peaceful community. Two lives, connected to their serene world, have been reaped in the most horrifying manner, sowing seeds of fear in everyone's heart. 
    As the mystery grows as tall as a cornfield, one haunting detail stands out: each victim's front yard is adorned with a scarecrow, a silent, eerie sentinel. Is the community now a field in a harrowing harvest of death, reminiscent of the unsolved scarecrow murders of the sixties? Or is there a copycat, a straw man who finds inspiration in past terrors? 
    Driven by a determination as sturdy as a wooden post, Ettie starts piecing together the straw-laden clues. 
    Her quest leads her to a single suspect, but when the local detective brushes off her findings like chaff in the wind, Ettie decides to stand alone against the gale of doubt. 
    In the face of danger, just how close can Ettie tread to the scarecrow slayer without finding herself under his ominous gaze? Is she about to make a blunder that could cost more than a bountiful harvest? 
    Prepare for a story that's more chilling than a midnight encounter with a field of scarecrows. Grab your copy now, and join Ettie in unearthing a mystery that will keep you guessing until the last stalk of corn is counted.

    Nell Valenti is at ease when managing a farm-to-table cooking school in sundappled Tuscany but begins to feel the heat when tasked with catching a killer.  
     
    When a wealthy New York philanthropist pays top dollar for a private four-day ziti workshop, Nell Valenti wants everyone at the Villa Orlandini Cooking School focused on the task at hand. But complications abound when Nell’s boyfriend,  
    Pete Orlandini, rushes to Rome for an unexpected business trip; Chef Orlandini is more preoccupied with a potential spot on an American cooking show than with preparing for the workshop; and an uninvited woman sneaks into the villa to  
    inspect Pete’s olive grove. The last disturbance proves deadly, and when the woman’s body is found in the grove, Nell must investigate before her hopes for the workshop, like the olives, are crushed.  
     
    Nell now has another item on her checklist—look into the stranger’s past while keeping the Orlandinis out of trouble and the wealthy ziti lovers happy. Then Nell discovers that for at least one of the Orlandinis, the murder victim was not such a  
    stranger after all, and that when a detective goes digging in Italy, she’d better be ready for truffle.

    "For God's sake, kill me!" Cried undercover DEA Agent Bonnie McCord to members of the Sola Mesa Drug Cartel members as they repeatedly raped her. In Bolivia, where DEA agents are prohibited, her supervisors took the risk of assigning her deep in the heart of the drug-producing region to collect critical intelligence on cartel operations. Her cover was blown by both the US Embassy and a vindictive jilted suitor. Would she spend the remaining days of her life as a "trophy whore" for the Sola Mesa Drug Cartel bosses? 
    The US Government disclaimed knowledge of her actions and denied any diplomatic or military action to free her. The US President considered her expendable, because good relations with Bolivia outweighed the benefits of sending in a military team to free her. 
    When a regional CIA Director refused to accept the fact that the US was doing nothing to free McCord, he used his contacts and resources to gather a seasoned and experienced group of retired Special Forces to free her. Would the deals with the devil and illegal covert actions they employed be enough? Or would she be left behind?
