    Early November, 1958, New York City 
     
    Art thief and smuggler Cantor Gold's latest underworld caper begins when she arrives at big-time bookie Nick Fortunato's apartment to celebrate his birthday, a ritual the two friends have enjoyed for years. But Nick is missing, and there's blood on the living room carpet. It's not Nick's blood, though. Nick's death still awaits him. Despite crime lord Sig Loreale's best plans to protect Nick, with whom Sig has financial dealings, a killer finds Nick hidden away in a cheap hotel owned by Loreale. 
     
    Among the players in this tale of friendship, betrayal, and the competition for power between the young and the aging, is the beautiful and possibly deadly Abbey O'Brien. She was Nick's right hand in his bookie operation, and now that he's dead, she stands to either gain big or lose even bigger. The operatives and bettors in Nick's bookmaking business have a stake in Nick's death, too . . . and motives to either solve his murder or get him out of the way. Assisting Cantor, as always, are her young Guy Friday Judson Zane; cabbie, sometime getaway driver, and sometime friend with benefits Rosie Bliss; and Cantor's criminal mentor Esther "Mom" Sheinbaum. And always circling are the cops.

    Small-town Wilfred, Oregon, is poised to step into the limelight, and the citizens behind the renovation of the old movie palace—into a brew pub—certainly want that to continue. Until librarian and apprentice witch Josie Way discovers a dead body . . .  
     
     
     
    Local librarian Josie Way's life is in shambles. Her magical abilities are on the fritz, and her relationship with sexy sheriff Sam has cooled way off since she told him she's a witch. On top of that, Josie senses a bad energy she can't explain, which seems to be interrupting her connection with the spellbound library books, usually her sure-fire way to get to the bottom of any mystery. 
     
     
     
    When she wakes to a fierce pounding in the library's atrium, she hurries there—only to find a corpse. But after she goes for the phone to call Sam, she returns to the atrium to find the body gone—and all the doors and window are still locked. And that's just the beginning of a mystery that features Josie as the prime suspect, several shady characters, and possible long-lost relatives. It's just like the beginning of an old movie, but Josie will need a lot more direction than her grandmother's magic lessons will provide . . .

    The ALL NEW heart-pounding thriller 👀 from the BESTSELLING author of The Honeymoon, Gemma Rogers💥 - A must-read for fans of Freida McFadden and Lisa Jewell! 
    Every family has their secrets… 
    No.6 Church Road was the Reilly family’s dream home. A recently renovated 3-storey house with just three occupants and more importantly a whole vacant top floor. So, there was plenty of space for one more. Right? 
    They had no idea I was sleeping in their empty loft conversion, cohabiting with them, eating their food, using their water, heating and Wi-Fi. Basically living for free, but it wasn’t for the thrill, I had discovered 'phrogging'. 
    It seemed like the perfect set-up, but when a local woman vanished, I suspected Jack Reilly was involved. You see I'd witnessed their illicit affair and Jack had a cast iron alibi, but I didn't believe it for one second. 
    The secrets in Church Road wouldn’t stay hidden for long, all I had to do was watch, wait and hope I wouldn’t be discovered. 
    A pacy, heart stopping, page turning thriller for the fans of Shari Lapena and Lisa Jewell.
