Malice in Manatas

by Roberta Rogow

Malice in Manatas

A dead boy, a cougar, and peanuts…

Halvar the Hireling, now the Captain of the Town Guard, must deal with the deaths of a messenger boy and a respected professor of mathematics, both of which may be linked to a shipment of arms being smuggled into Manatas. To make matters worse, a cougar has been spotted in the hills north of the town. Sectarian disputes and personal rivalries make for a not-so-happy holiday for this ex-mercenary and reluctant detective.

New Release – Enigma Imprint – An Incidental Death in Monterey

An Incidental Death in Monterey

by John J. O’Hagan

An Incidental Death in Monterey
Death is a given; justice not always so.

Father Juan Ibarra came to Monterey to minister to the native Californians suffering under the heavy hand of the Spanish Empire. Instead, he’s caught up in a web of murder and corruption at the highest level.

A young woman drowns—a seemingly tragic accident until Father Juan’s autopsy reveals Jacinta was not only murdered but pregnant. As he and the commander of the Monterey Presidio dig deeply into her history, they begin to unearth a complex web of corruption that points to the governor himself as their prime suspect.

But the forces who intend for Jacinta’s killer to remain anonymous are prepared to go to any lengths to ensure the truth remains hidden.

New Release – Enigma Imprint – Double Wedding Death

Double Wedding Death

by Arlene Sachitano

Double Wedding Death

It was supposed to be a vacation.

“What could possibly go wrong at an appliqué conference? If you’re Harriet Truman and the Loose Threads, just about anything.

First, a drunken groom accosts Harriet in the hotel bar, and his outraged bride-to-be decides Harriet is making moves on her man.

The next day, Jennifer storms into a “getting to know you” conference party and slugs her hard enough to crack an eye socket.

No wonder, then, that Harriet is suspect number-one when Bridezilla turns up dead, and things go downhill fast.

It’s up to the Loose Threads-again-to figure out who did what to whom before and save not just Harriet but her best friend Lauren as well.”

New Release – Thresholds Imprint – Goddesses Can Wait!

Goddesses Can Wait

by Kim Baccelia

Bonjour, Paris!

“Yeah, baby, she’s got it.”

Jordan’s body, that is, and “she” is Aphrodite. Bored with life in wherever it is Greek goddesses hang out, she’s decided she prefers Paris. And Jordan is stuck in Hades with Aphrodite’s usual main squeeze Ares.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, time is running out; and if she can’t get Aphrodite back to the Eiffel Tower by midnight, she’ll be trapped in Greek mythology forever.
