The Girl Who Remembered Snow
by Charles MathesEmma Passant’s earliest memory was of snow.... Emma had asked Jacques Passant about the big snow many times over the years. She must have dreamed it, he had replied in his gentle voice, or perhaps seen it in a movie. Apart from a few freakish dustings, it never snowed in San Francisco. And she had never been out of the city as a child, he said. But Emma knew her grandfather was wrong. She remembered. She remembered snow. Emma passant’s life has turned upside down. Her beloved grandfather has been killed in an apparent mugging in Golden Gate Park; her career as a magician is jeopardized when her brawny lug of an assistant runs off to marry an heiress; and then a handsome Frenchman Emma knew briefly is killed with the same gun used on her grandfather. When she realizes that a stranger has been in the home she shared with her grandfather, Emma moves out in a rush and determines to unravel the odd discrepancies that shadow the two deaths. Her quest for the truth takes her from San Francisco to the Caribbean, New York City, and Paris to discover the shocking secret behind the murders--and behind her elusive memory of snow. With charm and wit, Charles Mathes has produced a quirky, touching tale of a young woman whose search for the truth opens a window to her own soul.

The Girl Who Took What She Wanted: Stewart Hoag Mysteries (Stewart Hoag Mysteries #0)
by David HandlerIn this new installment of the Edgar award-winning Stewart Hoag mystery series, the ghostwriting sleuth investigates a trail of murder amidst Hollywood’s rich and famous. Stewart “Hoagy” Hoag hasn’t written any fiction since his debut novel rocked the literary world of the 1980s and then left him with a paralyzing case of writer’s block. Since then, he’s been reduced to ghostwriting celebrity memoirs. But his newest project could have him diving back into the world of fiction in a way he never imagined. Nikki Dymtryk is Hollywood’s hottest reality TV star, known for her wild party lifestyle and prolific sexual conquests across the music, film, and sports industries. But when the ratings for her show Being Nikki begin to drop, the Dymtryk family engineers a new plan to keep Nikki in the limelight: reinventing the young star as a bestselling author. Nikki’s team hires Hoagy to ghostwrite a steamy romance novel showcasing the glitz and glamor of the Hollywood elite. Reluctantly, Hoagy flies out to L.A. with his trusty basset hound Lulu to see what he’s gotten himself into with Nikki. But when he finally meets the starlet, she’s nothing like the aimless, airhead image she presents to the media. This project may just be the key to getting Hoagy’s creative juices flowing again—and staying in L.A. might also give him a chance at getting back together with his actress ex-wife, Merilee. But spending time with Nikki isn’t all parties and poolside lounging. As Hoagy gets closer to the young woman, he begins to uncover the Dymtryk family’s dark secrets. Secrets that are worth killing for.
