  Attorney Jack Newlin comes home one evening to find his wife, Honor, dead on the floor of their elegant dining room.Convinced that he knows who killed her - and determined to hid the truth - Jack decides to make it look as though he did it. Staging the crime scene so that the evidence incriminates him, he then calls the police. And to hammer the final nail in his coffin, he hires the most inexperienced lawyer he can find, a reluctant rookie by the name of Mary Di Nunzio, employed at the hot Philadelphia firm of Rosato and Associates. 
  Unfortunately for Jack, hiring Mary may turn out to be his only mistake. 
  Though inexperienced, Mary doubts Jack's confession and begins to investigate the crime. Her ethics and instincts tell her she can't defend a man who wants only one thing - to convict himself. Or can she? Smarter, gutsier, and more determined than she has any right to be, Mary decides to stock with the case. With help from the most unexpected sources, she sets out to prove what really happened - because as any lawyer knows, a case is never as simple as it seems. 
  And nothing is ever certain until the final moment of truth.

  How much distance does it take to get close to someone? 
  After police detective Jack Christoff is gunned down on his way to testify in a sex trafficking trial, his widow, Isabel, retreats to the small Southern Point farm she and Jack had planned as their forever home. Shunning her two loving brothers, friends, and legal colleagues, Isabel struggles to complete the home's renovation alone, her only companions a rescued dog, her gruff neighbor, and reckless flyovers from a crop-dusting plane. An encounter with stranded motorist Neil Hammish offers Isabel an unexpected reprieve from her loneliness, and the chance to use her legal expertise to help with a local environmental crisis. Their friendly project meetups soon turn to fiery erotic sessions, yet grief and fear keep Isabel from any exchange of true intimacy or trust. Her relationship with Neil self-destructs, leaving her on her remote farm with nothing but fear and loss. As Jack’s murder investigation nears an end, unanswered questions—some that may pose a real threat to Isabel—remain. If Isabel’s worst-case scenario becomes a terrifying reality, can anyone get close enough to her in time to come to her rescue?

  Meet Samantha Beck and Rebecca Nisha—two women born twenty-five years and hundreds of miles apart, yet joined together by a shocking family ritual. When Samantha discovers the remains of an ancient tribe in Pennsylvania, she expects to at last prove her grandmother’s Native American ancestry and to make a name for herself as a budding archaeologist. She does not expect to make an enemy and a lover of a fellow descendant—son of Rebecca Nisha—who unwittingly wears a necklace made of his dead mother’s bones. As the novel unfolds, alternating between Samantha’s story and Rebecca’s twenty-five years before, Samantha becomes more and more determined to discover the devastating mystery that estranged Rebecca’s wealthy Pennsylvania Dutch father from her half-Native American son. Samantha gradually uncovers a troubling secret and decides to risk everything—love and career—to restore harmony to Rebecca’s family.

When his owner, bookstore owner Lily Perkins, becomes the prime suspect in the murder of a notorious literary critic, Whiskers takes matters into his own paws.

Using his feline talents for stealth, observation, and knocking things off shelves at crucial moments, Whiskers follows a trail of clues that only a cat could notice. From a suspiciously placed catnip toy to the way certain visitors scratch behind his ears (the murderer, he deduces, does it all wrong), every detail matters. But when the real killer realizes Whiskers is onto them, this feline sleuth will need all nine lives to solve the case and save his human.
