P L A N X
The new thriller by Rory Tate
When a suspicious explosion rocks a lab on a University campus in
Montana, officer Cody Byrne is tasked with finding next-of-kin for
one of the victims, a professor of Shakespeare. From this simple
beginning she pulls the strings to unravel a secret jealously
guarded by very powerful people. She won't give up her hunt, even
as she battles wartime demons from her tour in Iraq, as she
discovers she's chasing down her own identity, as well as a dead
man's.
"PLAN X is both thrilling and sophisticated In a serpentine story
that races from small-town Montana to the vaulted halls of Windsor
Castle, nothing is as it seems, including the works of the great
Shakespeare himself. Former military and current police officer
Cody Byrne is unforgettable- a heroine you want to root for. I love
this book "
"-New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author J. Carson Black"
"Rory Tate weaves a thrilling police procedural as officer Cody
Byrne investigates the death of a Montana professor who may have
been hiding one of the biggest secrets in academia- or perpetuating
one of the biggest frauds- one that could scandalize the royal
family of Great Britain. An entertaining read "
"-Robin Burcell, award winning author of THE BLACK LIST"
"A book to keep you up at night. Once begun it must be read
through. Exciting, spellbinding, and riveting are words that come
to mind. The best mystery/crime/spy novel I have read recently. One
of the best of all time." "- book blogger and author, Ruth Ann
Hixson"

Seattle reporter Mimi Raynard is having a bad week. Her ex-husband
is now her boss at the TV station and wants her head on a platter.
When three prostitutes die of a suspicious heroin overdose Mimi
gets the story but in her nervous enthusiasm manages to bungle it.
The narcotics detective on the case tries to help but both are
out-foxed by the buxom intern. What's a girl to do? Desperate and
out of ideas Mimi takes a friend's advice and dresses up as a
Russian Mafiya Madam for a resume tape she has no intention of
sending out. But the lark turns serious when the intern steals the
tape. At the Seattle Police Department the narcotics detective Shad
Mulgrew has his own career crisis. He is framed for stealing drugs
from evidence. Are the murdered prostitutes linked to his case? Is
he getting too close to the truth? And what is Mimi's father doing
working for Eastern Europe's last Communists? Working together to
save their reputations, Mimi and Shad look for the truth, from the
fishing docks of Puget Sound to the tiny Republic of Moldova. At
turns funny, sexy, and thrilling with an edgy modern voice, Jump
Cut depicts Seattle from the inside, from damp streets to dark
alleys, from the islands to the top of the Space Needle, as Mimi
and Shad search for answers. They wind up salvaging a lot more than
their careers in a wild race to save the soul of Seattle, and
finding themselves. "An engaging heroine every woman can identify
with: good-natured, smart, harried, all too aware she's growing
older. She just wants to catch a break. I loved her almost as much
as I loved Rory Tate's breezy, fast-paced writing style " -- Katy
Munger, award-winning author of the Casey Jones mysteries
The sequel to the much-loved Blackbird Fly is here at last
Merle Bennett is spending another summer in France, vacationing
with her four sisters and one friend, lawyers all, tramping around
the backroads of the Dordogne. The sixth member of their walking
tour is a law colleague, Gillian Sargent. She hasn't made a good
impression on the Bennett sisters, being annoying and secretive and
upsetting the delicate karma of sisterhood. When Gillian finds an
injured dog along the roadside and wants to keep it for her own,
the idyllic summer trip of sisterly bonding and wine-drinking turns
dark and dangerous. Who else is after this dog? Why is she so
special? And what secret is Gillian Sargent keeping so close to her
chest that her co-workers call her 'The Girl in the Empty Dress?'
Lise McClendon introduced Merle Bennett in Blackbird Fly, taking
readers on a journey of self-discovery for Merle as her late
husband's life opened up its secrets. He left her a stone house in
the Dordogne he never mentioned, his family estate. Merle's efforts
to fix up the abandoned ruin, extract a squatter, and discover the
family secrets help her through her grief.
Now, back in this corner of southwest France of dark, oaky wine,
rocky hills, foie gras and earthy truffles, she juggles sibling
bickering, her teenage son, two boyfriends, and the law. All she
wants is to unwind in the golden light of France. But France has a
few tricks up its sleeves again. Thanks to a sad, dirty little dog
and a woman with too many secrets.
