description: London, 1679. Isabel,
Lady Wilde, mistress of King Charles II, has made a good living disguised as
fortune teller Mistress Ruby, counseling London's elite. But after the murder
of one of her customers, business has taken a downturn, and Isabel is on the
verge of accepting the king's offer to move into the palace.
Isabel's plans are interrupted when a beggar girl named Susanna shows
up at her home, claiming to be her niece. Isabel always believed that her older
brother, Adam, died alone during the plague. When Susanna reveals that Adam was
actually murdered, Isabel is compelled to take up an impossible task: discover
the truth about her brother's death, twelve years after it happened.
Isabel's investigation leads her through the gamut of London society,
from bear-baiting matches and brothels to the realm of wealthy bankers. But as
she uncovers her brother's dark secrets, Isabel begins to wonder whether the
past is better left buried—especially when uncovering the truth could lead to
her own funeral.

With
the chaos of summer tourists and fall birders out of town, counselor Patience
Price is looking forward to the quiet life she remembers. She longs for some
peace. And an apple fritter. But the calm is cut short when a reality show sets
up camp to film a special about ghosts on her little island. Now fans,
reporters and crew have flocked to sleepy Chincoteague. Who knew ghost hunters
had an entourage?
When
two cast members are killed in a room at the local B&B—a room usually
occupied by Patience's FBI agent boyfriend, Sebastian—she finds herself on the
case. Sebastian doesn't want Patience ruffling any feathers but, as always, she
can't help herself.
Patience promises to let Sebastian handle the
investigation—he is FBI, after all—but
after a drive-by shooting, her wicked curiosity gets the best of her. And with
the TV show forging ahead with filming, the list of suspects (and the line of
food trucks) only grows. But has the shooter already flown the coop? And how do
you find a killer when you don't know who the target is?

Book description:
I'm
Floyd—no last name needed, thanks—and I'm a P.I. The only other thing you need
to know about me is that I'm not an Elvis impersonator.
I live my life fast and hard and yes, in sequined jumpsuits, but more
importantly I live my life the way Elvis would have wanted me to. Honestly.
With integrity.
It
was a tip that the King was still alive and living under an assumed name that
brought me to Kresge,
Wyoming.
But there's something bigger than Elvis happening out here. I've been beaten
bloody by an acrobatic bartender, roped into the search for a missing
councilman, fallen for a bearded lady, and threatened by men in black who really don't want me poking my nose into the town's
business. Half of my leads look like dead celebrities. The other half are
either refugees from a broken-down circus or spear-holding Viking wannabes.
I'm
in Crazytown, USA, but I can't leave. Not yet. If I don't find the missing
councilman soon, Kresge will be turned into a Danish-themed amusement park.
I've never been so close to finding Elvis. And I need to know if my new
self-appointed sidekick James Morrison is really who he claims to be.…

in prison where he's vulnerable to people who want him dead. He needs Amy to
prove his innocence. Fast.
