Paperback. Etat : Good. Business at the Rock of Ages is as dead as the fossils cluttering the shop's dusty shelves. Morgan Iverson, recently widowed and jobless, expects managing the family rock shop for two weeks will be more vacation than work. When she arrives in Colorado, her brother slaps the keys in her hand and announces he's never coming back. Her first day in charge, two pet donkeys escape. While rounding them up on a snowy mountain trail, Morgan discovers the body of a Goth teen. After the newspaper splashes the front page with more sensation than truth, Morgan becomes the victim of an escalating series of near misses. She suspects the killer wants to eliminate the only witness to the crime. The problem is, she didn't see anything. As Morgan struggles to save the Rock of Ages--and herself--from extinction, a handsome shop owner pursues her. He seems more eager to get his hands on her property than on her middle-aged body. Selling the rock shop would toss a homeless old cowboy out into the winter cold, and send the escape-artist donkeys to the glue factory. New friends convince Morgan to join a running club, but racing on remote trails exposes her to more danger. Unless she can dig up the identity of the murderer, Morgan's life won't be worth a pile of fossilized dinosaur dung. Stone Cold Dead is an amateur sleuth mystery set in a mountain tourist town populated with lively Western characters and two determined donkeys.…

Paperback. Etat : Fair. It's August in the Berkshires, and the area is suffering from a terrible drought. As wetlands dry up, the perfectly-preserved body of a local young man, missing for forty years, is discovered in Wolf Bog by a group of hikers that includes Kathryn Stinson. Who was he and what was his relationship with close friend Charlotte Hinckley, also on the hike, that would make Charlotte become distraught and blame herself for his death? Kathryn's search for answers leads her to the discovery of fabulous parties held at the mansion up the hill from her rental house, where local teenagers, like the deceased, mingled with the offspring of the wealthy. Other questions dog the arrival of a woman claiming to be the daughter Charlotte gave up for adoption long ago. But is she really Charlotte's daughter? And if not, what's her game? Once again, Kathryn's quest for the truth puts her in grave danger.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Arlo Hatch, a young attorney in a white-shoe New York law firm, is facing an identity crisis: A lucrative partnership is dangling within grasp, and he's fallen for a beautiful, New York-centric philanthropist, but he feels he's wasting his life. He's just shuffling money around from one corporation to another, and he's sick of his own clients-a corrupt pharma company pushing risky boner pills, a media baron catering to the lunatic fringe, and a sketchy oligarch targeted by Russian agents after he absconded with $8 billion. Arlo quits to return to his roots in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, where he plans to take over his parents' farm and practice a little law on the side. Meanwhile, Arlo is unaware that the oligarch wants him killed. He also doesn't know that his lover's gold-digging stepmother, Maggie, wants his farm for her get-rich-off-old-folks scheme and is rounding up neo-nazi survivalists to run Arlo off his land. With his reluctantly transplanted lover and two friends-jumbo-sized Kostya, and Mikey, his micro-dosing sidekick-Arlo opens a B&B, but when the survivalists kidnap a progressive gubernatorial candidate, Arlo's back-to-the-garden quest begins to crumble.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. An alcoholic walks into a bar . . . and buys it. At the urging of his sometimes lover and sometimes drinking partner Jacquie Robillard, Elder Darrow uses the last of the money from the trust fund his mother left him to buy the Esposito, a bucket-of-blood bar in Boston that he plans to turn into a jazz nightclub. But before he can turn the place around, the body of Timmy McGuire, a jazz guitar player, shows up on the small stage at the Esposito, stabbed to death. Dan Burton, a Boston Homicide detective, likes Jacquie for the murder. She had a contentious relationship with the guitar player (and a few other men along the way). But one of the other men Jacquie is involved with is the son of an old-line Boston landlord with political designs on the commonwealth's governorship. Burton arrests Jacquie for Timmy McGuire's murder but Elder is certain something darker and deeper than a lover's quarrel is at stake. Jacquie is released on bail. When she shows up dead, Elder is drawn into a conspiracy going back to Timmy's childhood, an arson in the three-decker in Mattapan where he grew up, and the unraveling of a political conspiracy. Elder's need to solve Timmy's murder peaks when his jazz singer lady friend, Alison Somers, is kidnapped by the perpetrators. In the end, he has to solve the mystery and rescue Alison without the help of the police or anyone else.…
