A high-stakes stand-alone thriller, with cut-throat family dynamics in a business empire at its core, and power a struggle that turns deadly.
The dynamics are simple in the Wolf family. They eat you if you let them.
Joe Wolf has raised three sons and one daughter using the same cut-throat mentality that built his California business empire: Kill or be killed. So when he is found murdered on his yacht adrift in San Francisco Bay, SFPD detective Ben Cantor knows exactly where to begin his investigation.
As the siblings vie for control of their father's vast power and assets, the detective pieces together the hierarchy of the 'pack of wolves'. All four have the means and the motive to commit murder.
Meanwhile, a more sinister player lurks in the shadows, one who knows the Wolfs' secrets better than Cantor ever will. And who wants them all dead.
Jane Smith is running out of time . . .
Her repeat client, Rob Jacobson, is the unluckiest of the unlucky. No
sooner is he accused of killing a family of three in the Hamptons than
a second family is gunned down.
He says he's being set up – again. Despite the odds, Jane believes him.
Now she must mount the most complex investigation of her career. But
she’s facing her own battle too. A terminal medical condition.
The defence may never rest.
Her name is Jane Smith. But to friends and foes, she's Jane Effing
Smith.
Why? Because she's the best criminal defence attorney in the Hamptons -
the elite world of New York's rich and infamous. Because she's as good
an investigator as she is a lawyer. Because she's tough. She's strong.
As Jane is preparing to defend a high-profile client accused of a
triple homicide, she's also hired to revive a cold case - a cluster of
unsolved murders.
Then another bombshell lands. A devastating medical diagnosis.
Terminal. She's got a year to live.
But for now, she has a trial to win. Unless one of her many enemies
kills her first.

When an unknown man is found murdered in Paradise, Jesse Stone will
have his hands full finding out who he was - and what he was
seeking. When a body is discovered at the lake in Paradise, Police
Chief Jesse Stone is surprised to find he recognizes the murder
victim - the man had been at the same AA meeting as Jesse the
evening before. But otherwise, Jesse has no clue as to the man's
identity. He isn't a local, nor does he have ID on him, nor does
any neighboring state have a reported missing person matching the
man's description. Their single lead is from a taxi company that
recalls dropping off the mysterious stranger outside the gate at
the mansion of one of the wealthiest families in town... Meanwhile,
after Jesse survives a hail of gunfire on his home, he wonders if
it could be related to the mysterious murder. When both Molly Crane
and Suitcase Simpson also become targets, it's clear someone has an
axe to grind against the entire Paradise Police Department.
When two seemingly unconnected mysterious deaths occur on his
watch, police chief Jesse Stone must pull out all the stops to
unravel the truth and stop a killer from striking again. The small
town of Paradise is devastated when a star high-school baseball
player is found dead at the bottom of a bluff just a day after
winning the team's biggest game. For Jesse, the loss is doubly
difficult - the teen was the nephew of his colleague, Suitcase
Simpson, and Jesse had been coaching the young shortstop. As he
searches for answers about how the boy died and why, he is
stonewalled at every turn, and it seems that someone is determined
to keep him from digging further. Jesse suddenly must divide his
attention between two cases after the shocking murder of former
Paradise police chief, Charlie Farrell. Before his death, Farrell
had been looking into a series of scam calls that preyed upon the
elderly. But how do these 'ghost calls' connect to his murder? When
threats - and gunshots - appear on Jesse's own doorstep, the race
to find answers is on. Both old and new enemies come into play, and
in the end, Jesse and his team must discover the common factor
between the two deaths in order to prevent a third.
In her latest thrilling adventure, PI Sunny Randall takes on two
serpentine cases that converge into one deadly mystery. PI Sunny
Randall has often relied on the help of her best friend Spike in
times of need. When Spike's restaurant is taken over under a
predatory loan agreement, Sunny has a chance to return the favor.
She begins digging into the life of the hedge fund manager who
screwed Spike over - surely a guy that smarmy has a skeleton or two
in his closet - and soon finds this new enemy may have the backing
of even badder criminals. At the same time, Sunny's cop contact Lee
Farrell asks her to intervene with his niece, a college student who
reported being the victim of a crime but seems to know more than
she's telling police. As the uncooperative young woman becomes
outright hostile, Sunny runs up against a wall that she's only more
determined to scale. Then, what appear to be two disparate cases
are united by a common factor, and the picture becomes even more
muddled. But one thing is clear: Sunny has been poking a hornet's
nest from two sides, and all hell is about to break loose.
Robert B. Parker's iconic and irresistible PI Sunny Randall is
back, and the stakes are higher than ever as she races to protect
her ex-husband-and his Mafia family-from the vengeful plan of a
mysterious rival. Sunny Randall is 'on' again with Richie Burke,
the ex-husband she never stopped loving and never seemed to be able
to let go, despite her discomfort with his Mafia connections. When
Richie is shot and nearly killed, Sunny is dragged into the thick
of his family's business as she searches for answers and tries to
stave off a mob war. But as the bullets start flying in Boston's
mean streets, Sunny finds herself targeted by the deranged
mastermind of the plot against Richie's family, whose motive may be
far more personal than she could have anticipated...
Robert B. Parker's beloved PI Sunny Randall returns on a case that
blurs the line between friend and foe... and if Sunny can't tell
the difference, the consequences may be deadly. When Sunny's
long-time gangster associate Tony Marcus comes to her for help,
Sunny is surprised - after all, she double-crossed him on a recent
deal, and their relationship is on shakier ground than ever. But
the way Tony figures it, Sunny owes him, and she is willing to
consider his case if it will clear the slate. Tony's trusted
girlfriend and business partner has vanished, appearing to have
left in a hurry, and he has no idea why. He just wants to talk to
her, he says. While Sunny isn't willing to trust his good
intentions, the missing woman intrigues her - against all odds,
she's risen to a position of power in Tony's criminal enterprise.
Sunny can't help but admire her and, if this woman's in a jam, she
would like to help. But when a witness is murdered hours after
speaking to Sunny, it's clear there's more at stake than just
Tony's love life. Someone - maybe even Tony himself - doesn't want
this woman on the loose...and will go to any lengths to make sure
she stays silent.
