The Red Hot Empress Annie Szabo Mystery
Pbk published October 2006 by Forge at £6.99
ISBN: 0765346907
Annie Szabo has discovered a miracle: Jimmy Qi, a kid from Chinatown with the power to heal using music. He's dazzling, he's a scoundrel, he's wise, and he makes a great newspaper article. Now everyone wants Jimmy. Feeling responsible for creating San Francisco's latest hot commodity, Annie enlists her mother-in-law, the audacious fortune-teller Madame Mina, to help keep Jimmy safe from his avid pursuers: an evangelist, an ex-hero with a troubled past, a tong society, a CDC doctor, a dolphin fanatic, and an FBI agent who seems too good to be true. Then the bodies start turning up. Annie grabs Jimmy and runs, luring the killer through a tangle of Chinese New Year celebrations and north up the deserted coast where she forces the killer to face justice. Once again, though the spicy Szabo women would like to kick back with a lover, a good movie, and a few laughs, life has something else in mind. One meeting with an extraordinary boy leads them headlong into another wild adventure. Annie and Mina won't back down until their world is set right.

Blood Royal

Robbins, Harold & Podrug, Junius
Her Royal Highness, the Princess of Wales, was just an ordinary young woman when she was selected to be the prince's bride and future queen. Her wedding was a world-wide sensation. But she was deceived and betrayed before the honeymoon was over. Five months after a fairy-tale wedding, pregnant with the heir to the throne, she threw herself down a flight of stairs. Suicide attempts, illicit affairs, and paranoid beliefs that there were plots by the royals to kill her became the norm as the fairy tale turned into a horror story. After suffering degradation and humiliation at the hands of her husband, the princess takes the ultimate revenge. Afraid that her own attorney's may be lying to her, the princess reaches across the Atlantic and hires Marlowe James, a woman who doesn't put a price on loyalty. Marlowe has been dubbed the "burning-bed lawyer" by the news media because of her successful defence of women who kill their abusive husbands. In defending the princess, Marlowe not only has to do battle in the Old Bailey with barristers loyal to the Crown, she has to come to grips with her own feelings about a woman who was handed everything any woman would desire. The explosive tale that will be exposed in the courtroom is one of jealous rage and unfulfilled desires of sexual deceit by one of the most powerful men on earth, and of bloody revenge enacted by a woman scorned.

Harold Robbins has thrilled millions of readers for decades with tales heavy in action, ruthless characters, international intrigue, and the sexiest people on the planet. Now, he takes us on a wild ride in the exciting, cutthroat world of coffee markets. Nash Novak, a struggling Seattle businesswoman who has been framed for arson and murder, is in desperate need of money for her defence. The only way for her to get it: a coffee plantation she has inherited. But there's a catch - she has to run the plantation, deep in the jungles of Colombia, a land of drug lords and warlords. The mysterious inheritance of the plantation, from the father she had never met, comes at the same time a criminal conspiracy is turning Nash's life into a living hell - a conspiracy that stretches all the way to Colombia. But no one brings as much danger to Nash's life as Pablo Escobar, king of the Medellin drug cartels, considered the most dangerous man in Colombia. Things get even more complicated when Nash's quest to clear herself takes her to Shanghai, home of the powerful Chinese Triads that control the flow of dirty money from gambling, prostitution, drugs, and murder. Refusing to let the cartel's murderers drive her off the plantation and ruin the lives of hundreds of families who work it, Nash Novak tackles organized crime and police agencies on two continents to save her plantation... and stay alive.
