    A chuckwagon cook who's also deadly with a pair of six-shooters, Dewey "Mac" Mackenzie is a man who has no qualms filling men's bellies with food—or lead. Finally cleared of a crime he didn't commit, he's able to enjoy the fruits of his labor on the trail without looking over his shoulder. But even his best served grub can be spoiled by those with evil appetites . . . 
 
 
 
After traversing California and finding nothing much to his liking, Mac Mackenzie is heeding his heart's call to return to Texas. Lucky for him, a group of cowboys heading for the Lone Star state need someone who knows their way around a chuckwagon. Their previous cook's temper boiled over during a saloon brawl and ended up in jail. With no love for the cook—or his food—the cowboys just want to head home peaceably, share some quality meals with good company, and give their boss the small fortune they're carrying from the herd they sold.

But they haven't reckoned with the likes of Mac, a man who will settle their hash—raw and bloody . . .

The Night Witches, as the Germans called them, were also the most highly decorated regiment in the Soviet air force, despite derision by their male counterparts. They were heroes in the truest sense of the word.

A woman vanishes. A nation is captivated. And beneath the headlines lies a story far deeper than anyone imagined.
 
The Christie Affair reimagines the mysterious eleven-day disappearance of Agatha Christie in 1926—not through the eyes of the famed author, but through Nan O’Dea, her husband’s secret lover.
