Suspense and corruption light up the third Dr. Zol Szabo offering. Epidemic investigator Dr. Zol Szabo and his team are called to a panic-stricken high school in the heart of Ontario's tobacco country, where teens are dying from liver failure. The team suspects a link with contaminated, cut-price cigarettes manufactured on nearby Grand Basin Indian Reserve. When Zol confronts The Badger, the multi-millionaire kingpin of the illicit Native tobacco trade, he is ordered to shut down his investigation when rebuffed by high-level government authorities. The Badger's contaminated tobacco spreads across the country, and key witnesses and Zol's family are put in the crosshairs of a ruthless criminal. Can Zol dig deep enough to find a creative solution before it's too late?

A shocking new case has left FBI agent Emmy Dockery baffled. The victims appear to have died by accident and have seemingly nothing in common. But this many deaths can't be a coincidence.

A deadly secret that won’t stay buried… It is the fall of 1896, and Miss Concordia Wells is hip-deep in the usual tumult of a lady professor’s life: classes, clubs, student pranks and the unending drama generated by the girls she lives with on campus. Complicating this normality is the new Lady Principal, whom the students have nicknamed “the Ogre.” The woman seems bent on making Concordia’s life miserable. Events take a grave turn, however, when an ancient Egyptian amulet donated to the college mysteriously disappears, the donor is found murdered and his daughter — Concordia’s best friend — confesses to killing him. Desperate for answers, Concordia unravels a 20-year-old secret, closely guarded by men now dead. But such secrets can be dangerous for the daughters left behind, including Concordia herself. Can she make sense of the mystery that has bound together their fates, before it’s too late?

When Venetian detective Commissario Guido Brunetti is called to investigate a presumed suicide in Venice's elite military academy, his inquiries are immediately met with a wall of silence. The young man is the son of a doctor and former politician. Dr. Moro seems devastated by his son's death; but while both he and his apparently estranged wife seem convinced that the boy would not have committed suicide, neither appears eager to talk to the police or to involve Brunetti in any kind of investigation into their son's death.

Intellectual property attorneys, romance publishers, and librarians—the very last people you’d expect to be mixed up in murder! Add a pinch of authentic Civil War re-enactors and a sparkling tour of Kansas City, and voilà, a classic yet up-to-the-minute crime. Rep and Melissa Pennyworth head west from Indiana to a re-enactment of a Civil War battle in Kansas City, Missouri. Rep is really in quest of a cutting-edge copyright case connected with romance publishing house Jackrabbit Press. He finds a corpse instead. Linda Damon, Melissa’s best girlhood friend, worked for the victim, an editor (and womanizer) before his death. Linda’s husband, librarian Peter, an enthusiastic Civil War hobbyist, had motive (it must be said that on one recent occasion Linda became a bit too involved in her job), means (a Civil War saber that upon examination proves to be drenched in the victim’s blood), and opportunity (a publishing party). Logically, Rep’s knowledge of trademark and copyright law, Melissa’s Ph.D. in Literature, and the passionate enthusiasm for all things English embraced by Peter’s boss at the KC library, Diane Klimchock, should be no help in what is clearly a case for the police. However, when Rep and Melissa are involved in crime, logic is seldom a reliable guide, as we saw in their earlier investigation, Screenscam. While Unforced Error is great good fun as a mystery, as forecast in its witty (and startling) opening scene, it reminds us about the relevance of language, of words, to everything we do.

France 1945. MPs, Sergeant Jack Reilly and his partner Sergeant Frank Contini, find themselves closing in on a gang of thieves who have been pilfering military goods for the black market. In the course of arresting the villains, Jack is forced to kill one of the criminals. This man happened to be one of two brothers, high ranking members of the Corse Unione, the French mafia. The surviving brother, Guy LeRouche, is tried and convicted with a sentence of death. However, during the trial LeRouche threatens to exact his revenge on Jack and Frank for his brother's death. Years later, back in the States, Jack has left the army and opened his own one man PI agency. He receives a call from his old commanding officer alerting him that Guy LeRouche has escaped prison and is believed to be heading to the States. According to reports out of France, the Corse Unione has hooked up with the Sicilian mafia on their heroin traffic. The Unione controls most of the heroin trade out of Southeast Asia and the man representing them is LeRouche. Jack was to soon learn that the sins of the past always catch up to us as he confronts a vicious killer and the mafia.
