  A sleepy town with a disturbing secret. An unstable man seduced by evil whisperings. And a stubborn detective whose life is more intertwined with the killer she hunts than she could ever imagine. 
    
  Just when the residents of Crest Hill are getting past a shocking unsolved murder in the nearby groves, their greatest unspoken fear materializes: a string of serial killings amongst their own citizens. There is now no mistaking the fact that one member of their small population is not what they seem to be. 
    
  Earl Hughes is a regular guy outwardly. What lurks beneath, however, is a mind warped by a marred childhood which seeks to purge his world of a perceived evil. His deep recesses of obsession, as deranged as they may be, only act to further his cunning. 
    
  Detective Anita Heath finds herself perplexed at the crime scenes when the bodies begin turning up. Something about these murders just doesn’t profile right. As her suspicions are soon bent in unusual directions, she discovers she has attracted the attention of the culprit—and inadvertently enters into a sinister game of cat and mouse. 
    
  The Crest Hill Mu7ders is a suspenseful new page-turner with haunting twists that may forever alter the way you view your fellow citizens’ pasts—and possibly even your own.

  Hayley Powell, a small-town food-and-wine columnist turned sleuth, finds herself caught between a deadly rivalry between seafood clans! 
   
   
    
  Food and cocktails columnist Hayley Powell usually reserves judgement for local cuisine, not the people who serve it. But staying neutral isn't so easy when caught between the biggest seafood rivals in town—her BFF Mona Barnes and the successful Leighton clan. Adding to a bitter decades-old surf-turf war between family businesses, a modern Romeo and Juliet story unfolds as Mona's son gets engaged to the daughter of her sworn enemy . . . 
   
   
    
  Spiteful patriarch Lonnie Leighton is also steamed about the arrangement—enough to go to dangerous lengths to break it up. At least, until he's discovered face down and dead in the clam flats. With unanswered questions swirling, accusations flying in both directions, and a young couple stuck in the middle, Hayley has bigger fish to fry than determining who sources the best shellfish in Bar Harbor. Because someone wants to get away with murder . . . and send whoever else gets in their way to a muddy grave.

  BARCLAY: Ever since college, I've kept everyone at a distance. I'm not deserving of the love my friends have found, so I know better than to go looking for it. But they're on to something when they tease me about my long-term friend with benefits. I can't stand the idea of losing Val when he realizes I'm not the man he thinks I am, so it's better for me to keep things the same as they've always been. 
   
  VAL: Just because our relationship is open doesn't mean Barclay isn't enough for me. The casual physicality of our relationship has become normal, but as the years wear on, I find myself wanting more. Our situation has always had an open door to the bedroom, but if he thinks he'd be okay with me seeing other people outside of those four walls, I'm ready to put him to the test. Meeting Jason is unexpected, and apparently just the thing Barclay needed to take action. I've had no idea how deep Barclay's feelings go, and as he spills them out to me, I fall a little more in love. Suddenly, there's a rich future on the table that I'd never imagined. He's ready to give me anything—and anyone—to keep me happy. I don't know how he spent so long thinking he wasn't worthy of this kind of happiness. His heart has so much to give and I'm always willing to take, so we're faced with no option except to share. 
   
  Contains mature themes.

  The Last Service - Elias the...

  Not all men are born to be heroes, but some discover that true courage lies in serving. 
  Amid the ruins of a world scarred by war and indifference, an anonymous man survives while carrying a silent mission: to restore humanity where all seems lost. Orphans, elders, women wounded in body and soul… each life touched by his hands becomes an act of resistance against desolation. 
  More than a tale of survival, The Last Service is a reflection on sacrifice, dignity, and the power to heal others when there is nothing left to gain. A story where greatness is not measured by victories, but by the ability to sustain hope in the midst of ashes. 
  This book does not speak of servility, but of service born of truth, love, and compassion. For even in the darkest moments, there is always one last service to offer: to remember that we are human.
