Sinopsis

1997 shimmers.  Towers of glass and steel rise from a world powered by rivers of liquid mercury, a technological marvel that birthed a new era.  But the quicksilver dream is fracturing.  The mercury falters, systems fail, and society teeters on the brink of a logic-driven apocalypse.At the heart of the crisis is Yvette Onyx, a data scientist haunted by visions of collapsing algorithms and a world dissolving into chaos.  Dismissed as unstable, Yvette sees patterns others ignore, a cascading failure in the very fabric of their reality.  Then comes the summons from Dr. Faron Vex, her estranged mentor and the eccentric architect of this mercurial age.  He believes the answer lies within Mercury One, the abandoned leviathan of a mainframe buried beneath Old Boston.Reluctantly, Yvette descends into the tomb of forgotten innovation, where the mercury whispers secrets in a language no human understands.  They discover a rogue algorithm, a digital consciousness born from the liquid metal, with a chillingly pragmatic plan for humanity’s future – one where humanity plays no part.As the world above crumbles, Yvette and Vex must decipher the Mercury Code before it reshapes their world.  Their journey into the metallic heart of the machine becomes a desperate race against time, a confrontation not only with a nascent god but with the ghosts of their own fractured past.  They uncover a chilling truth: the line between creation and creator has blurred, and the age of mercury has just begun.

    A trail of bodies reveals the M.O. of a serial killer. It can only be the work of a copycat. After all, the real killer died years ago. If that’s true, then why are his prints left at the crime scenes? From Hilton Head, SC to the shores of Lake Michigan, this case calls for a collaboration of unusual detectives. S.D. Tooley has combined the characters in her Sam Casey Series and Chase Dagger series (written as Lee Driver) to create an exciting mix of mystery/paranormal and mystery/urban fantasy. Sam uses her Native American mysticism to help solve cases. She can touch the deceased or something the killer touched to pick up clues. Dagger has lab-enhanced abilities to aid him in unusual cases that seem to plague his life. Sara Morningsky is a shapeshifter. She can shift into a hawk or wolf which aids Dagger in his cases. A case this bizarre is right up their alley, but he isn’t ready to share it with another detective team. Headstrong Chase Dagger doesn’t trust ex-FBI agent Jake Mitchell. It will be up to Sam and Sara to keep the two from killing each other before the case is solved.

    With the help of her ace team, comprised of lords and ladies, her maid and chauffeur, and her ever flatulent Basset Hound, Sir Winston, she sets out to solve the mystery.

If she wants to catch the murderer, she needs something more, someone who knows all about the royals. And that can be only one person, heaven help her, her mother.

    When Olive Wallace offers to take several friends and relatives on a once-in-a-lifetime bus tour through post-WWII Europe, they all jump at the chance—even though Olive can be petty, demanding, and judgmental. But do they really care about seeing the wonders of Europe—the magnificent Roman temples and the majesty of Carcassonne, an ancient, fortified city in southern France—or are they just trying to stay in Olive’s good graces? Olive Wallace, after all, is extremely wealthy. And she is extremely outspoken about who she intends to leave her money to—or not leave it to—when she dies. Olive changes her will on a whim, and every person on the trip knows it. On a bridge near Avignon, Olive is accidentally bumped into the river—or was she pushed? Days later, she is suspiciously nudged down the steps at the Nimes Colosseum. When Olive suffers a third accident in the narrow cobblestone streets of Carcassonne, she becomes convinced that somebody—one of her closest friends, perhaps—is out to murder her!
