Mystery
A Saudi diplomat has been assassinated in London, and MI5 Intelligence Officer Olivia Morris has been assigned to investigate. The matter is delicate: not only are political relations between Britain and Saudi Arabia wrought; Britain wants to sell rescue helicopters to Saudis too, preferably without alerting the general public to the deal. Messing this up will result in demotion for Olivia, or worse. And she's morbidly afraid of helicopters. It doesn't take long for Olivia to realise that the chopper contract might only be the surface. Who wants to kill the diplomat's son? How are the Russians involved? And who is the charming toff that has insinuated himself into her investigation? An innocent bystander-or the assassin? As the death-toll rises, Olivia has to run against the clock to prevent a larger disaster. And then she becomes a target herself.

When a beloved mayor is suddenly targeted for murder, what would come to mind? Power, wealth, or a desire to claim his seat? These motives are obvious. But what if the mayor is marked not for ambition, but for revenge-because of the evils he's inflicted on others? In Zephyr Borough, a deadly plot is set in motion-the assassination of Mayor Angus MacLeod. As dark secrets about his past begin to unravel, the true question arises: is the charming mayor the villain, or a man trapped by the very sins he's tried to bury? Whom would you support, the poor mayor or the sinister plotters?
