Tess Monaghan series. Bk#1 Baltimore Blues.
When private investigator Tess Monaghan literally
runs into the crew of the fledgling TV series Mann of
Steel while sculling, she expects sharp words and
evil looks, not an assignment. But the company has
been plagued by a series of disturbing incidents
since its arrival on location in Baltimore: bad press,
union threats, and small, costly on-set "accidents"
that have wreaked havoc with its shooting schedule.
As a result, Mann's creator, Flip Tumulty, the son of
a Hollywood legend, is worried for the safety of his
young female lead, Selene Waites, and asks Tess to
serve as her bodyguard. Tumulty's concern may be
well founded. Recently, a Baltimore man was discovered dead in his home, surrounded by photos of
the beautiful if difficult aspiring star. In the past, Tess
has had enough trouble guarding her own body.
Keeping a spoiled movie princess under wraps may
be more than she can handle since Selene is not as
naive as everyone seems to think, and instead is
quite devious. Once Tess gets a taste of this world
of make-believe with their vanities, their self-serving
agendas, and their remarkably skewed visions of
reality she s just about ready to throw in the towel.
But she’s pulled back in when a grisly on-set murder
occurs, threatening to topple the wall of secrets surrounding Mann of Steel as lives, dreams, and careers are scattered among the ruins.

Within seconds, three people were dead at Central
Park's ice skating rink. The victims: a talented young
skater, a doctor, and a teacher. As random as random can be. Eve Dallas has seen a lot of killers during her time with the NYPSD, but never one like this.
After reviewing security videos, it becomes clear that
the victims were killed by a sniper firing a tactical
laser rifle, who could have been miles away when
the trigger was pulled. And though the locations
where the shooter could have set up seem endless,
the list of people with that particular skill set is finite:
police, military, professional killer. Eve's husband,
Roarke, has unlimited resources--and genius--at his
disposal. And when his computer program leads Eve
to the location of the sniper, she learns a shocking
fact: There were two--one older, one younger.
Someone is being trained by an expert in the science of killing, and they have an agenda. Central
Park was just a warm-up. And as another sniper
attack shakes the city to its core, Eve realizes that
though we're all shaped by the people around us,
there are those who are just born evil.

MARYJANICE DAVIIDSON
Insighter series. You couldn't arrest for murder
someone who had killed in his last life. You couldn't
bring a civil suit against such people, either. They
could only be legally penalized for what they did this
time around and what a dark circus the legal system
had been before that legislation passed! (It was still
a dark circus, but perhaps not as dark.) But you
could spot them, and watch them. You could set
traps for them. Leah Nazir is an Insighter. Reincarnation is her business. But while her clients pasts
are a mess, Leah's is nothing short of tragedy. She's
been murdered. A lot. If left to that bitch, destiny, it'll
happen again. Leah wants to know who's been following her through time, and who's been stalking her
in the present ... P.I. Archer Drake has been hired by
Leah's mother to keep an eye on her. But the more
time he spends watching, the more he finds himself
infatuated. Before long, he even finds himself agreeing to help find the person who wants her dead.
Over and over again. Now going full-on rewind, Leah
hopes it can stave off the inevitable. After all, she's
grown fond of this life and even fonder of nerdy
Archer. But changing her pattern means finding out
who her killer is today. And as Leah fears, that could
be anyone she has come to know and trust. Anyone
