Celebration turns to nightmare when psychotherapist Kate Huntington's guest of honor disappears en route to her own retirement party. Kate's former boss, Sally Ford, has been kidnapped by a serial killer who holds his victims exactly forty-eight hours before killing them. With time ticking away, the police allow Kate and her P.I. husband to help with the investigation. The FBI agents involved in the case have mixed reactions to the "civilian consultants." The senior agent welcomes Kate's assistance as he fine-tunes his psychological profile. His voluptuous, young partner is more by the book. While she locks horns out in the field with Kate's husband, misunderstandings abound back at headquarters. But they can ill afford these distractions. They have to find Sally, before her time expires. (This book is part of a series but is designed to be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone novel.)

There's a new female cop on the scene! Judith Anderson's no-nonsense attitude and confidence served her well in her climb to homicide lieutenant in the Baltimore County PD, but that confidence is shaken when she finds herself one step behind a serial killer-just eight days into her new job as Chief of Police in a small Florida city. The first victim, a female college student, may be a case of wrong place, wrong time. But the bodies keep coming, with a mishmash of MOs, and the murders may be linked to various cases in nearby Jacksonville. While Judith assumed the CoP job would be challenging, she's finding it harder than she imagined to establish her authority without alienating and be more hands-on without micro-managing. Plus, evidence is stacking up that there's a leak in her department. Who can she trust? If she makes the wrong assumption, the wrong decision, it may be her last. In a race to save lives, she'll draw on every talent and instinct that made her a star in Baltimore. But will that be enough this time? Fans of JA Jance's Sheriff Joanna Brady and JD Robb's Eve Dallas will love this new female cop on the scene!

The world moves toward normal, but Marcia's life is rarely "normal"...Newly vaccinated, Marcia Banks can finally schedule the human phase of training with her Air Force pilot client-the soon-to-be owner of a Chow-Husky service dog named Bear. But when she calls to set things up, she's informed that the veteran has been in a private psychiatric hospital for months, with no one allowed to visit due to Covid.Marcia puts out feelers to find out what is going on, and suddenly he is discharged...only to have his private plane crash in a fiery ball two days later. Convinced this is no coincidence, Marcia attempts to find out how her veteran client became the target of a murderer.What she uncovers looks suspiciously like a scheme to defraud the Veterans' Administration. But who's behind it, and did they sabotage her client's plane? Or did the saboteur have a more personal motive? And just how determined are they to silence Marcia?(Note: This story occurs during the end of the pandemic, but it focuses on the optimism and relief of the spring of 2021 in the U.S.)

A tropical paradise turns deadly.Service dog trainer Marcia Banks had thought it was the perfect arrangement-stay on her client's private Gulf-coast island and get the human phase of the training done more quickly, while enjoying a much-needed break from the chaos of house renovations back home.This certainly wasn't the tranquil getaway she'd envisioned, however. Two resident ghosts, a sour-puss housekeeper and bearing witness to her client's shaky marriage are bad enough. But within days, she's discovered even deeper and darker layers of dysfunction.Via emails and static-filled phone calls, fiancé Will Haines convinces her to get herself and her dog Buddy out of there, but before Marcia can accomplish this, a late-season hurricane abruptly changes course and strands them on the island... with a murderer.

A Halloween romp with a seriously scary twist!Her adopted town is once again driving service dog trainer Marcia Banks a little nuts. No sooner has she moved her horse into the new Mayfair Riding Stable than its octogenarian, muumuu-wearing owner decides to turn the barn into a haunted house for Halloween. Meanwhile, an anonymous prankster is haunting Mayfair, disrupting its small-town tranquility, and the local postmistress has a strange request for Marcia. All this, along with her new role of godmother to adorable twins, is a bit overwhelming.But it's nothing compared to what's coming. As Halloween approaches, the evil lurking in the shadows will threaten what is most precious to Marcia and her beloved town.

Nothing about her new client is what service dog trainer Marcia Banks expected-from the posh house that says family money to his paranoid preoccupation with his sister's love life-but when he dangles a thousand-dollar retainer under her nose, she can't resist playing private detective.In between training sessions, Marcia digs into the sister's boyfriend's sketchy past. But the deeper she digs, the more questions arise. How is a disastrous fraternity party five years ago linked to blackmail, prostitutes, and murder today? And who's driving the black SUV that keeps trying to turn Marcia and her dog Buddy into roadkill?She can't let it go, not when there are innocents at risk who are depending on her to find the truth. But the deepest, darkest truth is the one she wishes she never uncovered.
