. . and the only person who can solve the murders might be imagining the entire thing . . . Jessica Hudson is new to the close-knit community of Palmer, Alaska. Once a hard-charging Assistant DA in New York, an assassin’s bullet ended her career and left her life in ruins. Palmer is a refuge for her, where she hopes to recover and rebuild her life. But when a teenaged girl– naked, battered, tortured – stumbles through her ranch and dies in her arms, Jessica’s hopes of peace are shattered forever. Before long, her home is a chaotic crime scene and by the time she falls asleep, she is exhausted. She wakes the next day, expecting the ranch to be a hive of police and media activity; instead, she finds nothing – no body, no crime scene, no police and no reporters. Unable to understand what has happened, she drives to the police station and demands answers. And that is when the nightmare really begins . . . As time and reality spin frighteningly out of control, Jessica knows just one thing – her only chance of clinging onto her sanity is to catch the killer, and solve a murder which might never have happened.

The Ghosts of Landover Mystery Series Box Set, Books 1-3: Three Complete Paranormal Cozy Mysteries In One
Etta Faire - 2020
As soon as she opens the door, she sees him hovering in her living room, between the crimson settee and the dogwood-patterned rug. He wants her to solve his murder and says the best way to do that is by combining energy with him in a channeling to relive the night minute by minute and gather clues, together. Of course, she can hardly wait.It’s the beginning of a strange new journey for Carly, one that involves a curse, a bunch of ghost clients impatiently waiting to get their cold cases solved by reliving their murders, and a dead ex-husband tagging along, pretending to be her Watson.
Book 2: After the Suffragette’s Suicide
Carly meets her first ghost-client: suffragette and local women's rights leader, Bessilyn Hind. According to history, Bessilyn committed suicide at her 35th birthday party after her fiancé broke up with her. Only one problem: she doesn't remember it that way. She's appalled history books have been written that imply she would do something so drastic over a man. And she wants to know who murdered her (along with retractions on history, pronto).Through channeling, Carly is taken right to the party in 1906 to figure things out for the suffragette.
Book 3: Behind the Boater’s Cover-Up
The third book features a story the Landover locals refer to as "the accident." In 1957, a group of recent high-school graduates went late-night partying on a boat after a sock hop. They didn't return. In the end, it was ruled an unfortunate accident. The only problem: Gloria Thomas, one of the partiers that night, has a different version. And Carly is going to help her set the record straight.However, while channeling with the ghost and reliving the memories from 1957, Carly sees her older friends back when they were younger, and the shocking way the accident was covered up. Turns out, there are a lot of secrets in Landover, and like the dead, they're much safer buried.This box set contains the first three books in the Ghosts of Landover Mystery series.
They Called Him Cav: Reloaded
William Coury - 2014
He has long since passed away, but his book remains, gathering dust on my shelf when it should have been entertaining good folks like you. So here it is at last: a western with heart written on an old manual typewriter. The story takes place in the badlands of West Texas (where he lived), and is chock-full of all the sprawling drama, heartache, triumph, tragedy, and gun-slinging grit one could desire. The cover of the book is adapted from an oil painting brushed by our father back in 77—one of many. I remember it hanging on the wall when I was a kid. I believe it was his favorite, so thought it only fitting that it be the cover. Now, finally, after all these years, our dad will get the recognition he deserves for both his writing and his painting. I sure hope he can see what's going on down here, 'cause I know it would make him smile. So take a deep breath, and let the troubles of the modern world slip away as you journey back to a simpler time (two simpler times, actually), the old west, and the 1940's....
