"Dead, White and Blue"
Summer is a hectic time of the year for Annie Darling. Sun and scorching temperatures never fail to bring swarms of tourists to her mystery bookstore, Death on Demand. 
Maybe I
wasn't in
the mood 
for this. 
But Annie still finds time to enjoy herself. 

 The Broward's Rock Fourth of July dance is just around the corner, and the island is buzzing with excitement - Shell Hurst included.
Shell is the kind of woman wives hate - and most of them wish she would just disappear. 

 But when she does, Annie can't help but feel like someone should be looking for Shell. 

The residents of Broward's Rock grow uneasy when a second islander mysteriously disappears. 

 Annie and her husband, Max, soon find themselves following a twisted trail marked by blackmail, betrayal, and adultery.

"Cry in the Night"
Egyptologist Sheila Ramsay develops a newfound interest in MesoAmerican affairs after meeting an outspoken—and attractive—Mexico City curator, a harsh critic of museums that deal in stolen art. 

 And her own museum gives her the perfect opportunity to see him again: a valuable Aztec manuscript needs to be returned to its rightful owners, the wealthy Ortega family.

But things don’t go as planned for Sheila south of the border. An anonymous note threatens her with death if she remains in Mexico City. 

 The curator she longed to see treats her with contempt. And the Ortegas are as mysterious as they are charming. What Sheila has stumbled into is much bigger—and more deadly—than she ever dreamed. 

 And amid the splendor of Mexico’s ancient ruins and treacherous hillsides, Sheila will realize that there’s no one she can trust.
