The Women’s Murder Club is back! When a horrifying attack leaves one of the four members of the Women’s Murder Club struggling for her life, the others fight to keep a madman behind bars. And Lindsay Boxer and her new partner run flatout to stop a series of kidnappings that has electrified San Francisco: children are being plucked off the streets together with their nannies— but the kidnappers aren’t demanding ransom. Amid rising panic, Lindsay juggles the possibility of a new love with an unsolvable investigation, and the knowledge that one member of the club could be on the brink of death. And just when everything appears momentarily under control, the case takes a terrifying turn, putting an entire city in lethal danger. Lindsay must make a choice she never dreamed she’d face—with no certainty that either outcome has more than a prayer of success.

Can this demon be just what she needs? Anthropologist Vivien Cairn has always been fascinated by bones. When she was a little girl, her father, before he took off, left her a red velvet bag filled with bones and she’s been randomly finding these red velvet bags ever since. She can’t help but collect them, not having any idea what they mean. But lately the strangest things have been happening to Vivien. Her sexual libido has kicked into overdrive and she’s losing hours and hours of her life at a time. Terrified that she’s losing her mind, she’s relieved when salvation knocks at her door in the form of sexy Dain Hawkins. But can she trust a man with eyes as dark as sin, a man who makes her feel desire like nothing she’s ever known before, and a man who tells her he’s a demon, a sorcerer looking for answers only she can provide?
“Pure gold....A great tale from a writer who must be a mage as her novels entice human readers to become deeply involved.” — Harriet Klausner

Alphie McCourt grew up in Limerick, Ireland, where he witnessed the departure of his father and the misery he left behind. His loneliness grew deeper as each of his older brothers (Frank, Malachy, and Michael) left for America, and in 1959, he followed them. Alphie’s adolescence in New York was marked by aimlessness and too much drink. After an Irish law student suggested that he return to Ireland to study law, he tried his luck back in Dublin. Returning to America three years later, Alphie settled in California, where he discovered marijuana and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Ultimately his immigrant roots called him back to New York, and after many struggles both personal and professional, Alphie finally lands on firm ground—finding peace in the greatest city in the world.

■ Online marketing campaign
In 1988, Forbes Magazine hailed Chuck Feeney as the 23rd richest American alive. Born during the Depression, Feeney had made a fortune as co-founder of Duty Free Shoppers, the world’s largest duty-free retail chain. How he did it is one of the great untold retail stories of modern times. But the greater untold story is that Feeney had in fact given away his fortune, in its totality, to endow Atlantic Philanthropies—one of the most generous and secretive philanthropic funds in the world. Atlantic Philanthropies is committed to giving away all its $4 billion in assets during the next decade, an unprecedented example of the “giving while living” philosophy. Through his generosity, Feeney’s influence has become even more impressive than his wealth.
