Book Description / Blurb

Gus Ivy was restless, so he thought he’d “test” retirement by spending the winter with friends in Arizona. Endless rounds of golf convinced him that such an idle life probably was not for him. On a particularly restless day, Gus visits his barber and discovers an obscure Sagebrush western written by a favorite author. He’s excited to add it to his collection, and negotiates a “buy” with Frank, the barber. Unfortunately, the sixty-year old Cavity Lake Gang has drawn the attention of a band of cutthroats who will stop at nothing to get their hands on Gus’s copy. He doesn’t know why the book is so valuable—only that he is determined to keep it from falling into the wrong hands. Together with a mysterious woman from Montana, Gus and his new friend, Cassidy Bower set off on a quest that takes them to the Navajo Indian Nation in Northeast Arizona, and beyond. It’s a chilling race against a decades-old deadline and a bunch of ruthless killers—a race to solve a fascinating puzzle embedded within the book, but the end game may prove to be too costly as multiple deaths and a kidnapping litter their trail.

As the Division Chief on a Child Protection Unit, a very pregnant Helen Weeks never expected to find herself on the other side of the police desk. But her fiancé, Paul Hopwood—a Detective Sergeant at the Criminal Intelligence Division—has been struck and killed by a wildly veering vehicle. Only this wasn't an ordinary accident. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots from a second passing vehicle, and local police suspect that this might be the work of a neighborhood gang.

Helen is determined to accept Paul's death, but several stubborn clues eventually lead her to a series of startling discoveries. First, Paul was doing more than just routine intelligence work for the police force. Second, Paul's death wasn't just an accident. And as members of a local gang begin to turn up dead, Helen comes to learn that there's only one force more powerful than fate—vengeance.

Book Description / Blurb

Iris Oakley, a young zookeeper at the Finley Memorial Zoo in Vancouver, Washington, hopes to reconcile with her newly sober husband, Rick. But when he’s found dead—and dead drunk—in the lion exhibit, a paralyzing mix of grief and anger at his betrayal keeps Iris from questioning the assumptions around his death. But Iris’ friends motivate her to prove that her husband could not have died the way it appears. Soon, however, these same friends impede her progress as she follows ambiguous clues and sorts through unlikely motives. Meanwhile, Iris must also adjust to losing her beloved job as feline keeper and instead learn to be a bird keeper. The zoo’s veterinarian respects her skills, but the foreman would far rather she get a job elsewhere—and the senior bird keeper seems to agree. After Iris survives a series of near-fatal “accidents,” she begins to understand what really happened to Rick. But Iris must survive to prove it....
