When the CPD informs his nephew Ivan Ramirez and closes the case he refuses to believe it’s true.Convinced of foul play Ivan is referred to Ashe Cayne by his friend and socialite Penny Packer. After agreeing to take the case on pro bono he quickly discovers that things are not always what they seem. As Ashe investigates, he learns that Juaquin was last seen getting into a white van belonging to a heating and cooling company before he disappeared.Retracing Juaquin’s steps leads Ashe straight into a web of secrets and lies that anyone would do anything to escape—even murder.

Beyond Midnight

A special paperback edition with colored sprayed edges of this compelling multigenerational novel of survival, love, and the families we make. "A family secret, a DNA test, a journey as rich and colorful as the early-day circus itself. Through Cecily Larson's hidden life, Ellen Baker tenderly examines personal determination, lost love, family ties, and our innate need to discover our own truth."&nbsp;-&nbsp;Lisa Wingate, #1&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestselling authorIn 1924, four-year-old Cecily Larson's mother reluctantly drops her off at an orphanage in Chicago, promising to be back once she's made enough money to support both Cecily and herself. But she never returns, and shortly after high-spirited Cecily turns seven, she is sold to a traveling circus to perform as the "little sister" to glamorous bareback rider Isabelle DuMonde. With Isabelle and the rest of the circus, Cecily finally feels she's found the family she craves. But as the years go by, the cracks in her little world begin to show. And when teenage Cecily meets and falls in love with a young roustabout named Lucky, she finds her life thrown onto an entirely unexpected-and dangerous-course. In 2015, Cecily is now 94 and living a quiet life in Minnesota, with her daughter, granddaughter, and great-grandson. But when her family decides to surprise her with an at-home DNA test, the unexpected results not only bring to light the tragic love story that Cecily has kept hidden for decades but also throw into question everything about the family she's raised and claimed as her own for nearly seventy years. Cecily and everyone in her life must now decide who they really are and what family-and forgiveness-really mean. Sweeping through a long period of contemporary history, The Hidden Life of Cecily Larson is an immersive, compelling, and entertaining family drama centered around one remarkable woman and her determination to survive.

The Murder at World's End

"As the child of a Hooters waitress and an ex-pro wrestler, Margo Millet's always known she'd have to make it on her own. So she enrolls at her local junior college, even though she can't imagine how she'll ever make a living. She's still figuring things out and never planned to have an affair with her English professor-and while the affair is brief, it isn't brief enough to keep her from getting pregnant. Despite everyone's advice, she decides to keep the baby, mostly out of naivetâe and a yearning for something bigger. Now, at twenty, Margo is alone with an infant, unemployed, and on the verge of eviction. She needs a cash infusion-fast. When her estranged father, Jinx, shows up on her doorstep and asks to move in with her, she agrees in exchange for help with childcare. Then Margo begins to form a plan: she'll start an OnlyFans as an experiment, and soon finds herself adapting some of Jinx's advice from the world of wrestling. Like how to craft a compelling character and make your audience fall in love with you. Before she knows it, she's turned it into a runaway success"--

«Una novela audaz, impredecible y terriblemente divertida de una escritora tan singular que es difícil de comparar con alguien más… en definitiva, brillante». —Kevin WilsonUna historia atrevida, muy divertida y conmovedora sobre los intentos de una joven por navegar en la vida adulta, la maternidad y su estrecha cuenta bancaria en un mudo cada vez más virtual. De la autora de The Knockout Queen, finalista del premio PEN/Faulkner y aclamada por la crítica. Hija de una camarera de Hooters y de un exluchador profesional, Margo Millet siempre supo que tendría que arreglárselas sola. Así que se matricula en la universidad local, aunque no puede imaginarse cómo se ganará la vida. Aún está tratando de entender las cosas y nunca planeó tener una aventura con su profesor de inglés —una aventura breve, pero no lo suficiente como para evitar quedar embarazada—. A pesar de los consejos de todo el mundo, decide quedarse con el bebé, sobre todo por ingenuidad y por el deseo de algo más grande.Ahora, a los veinte años, Margo está sola con un bebé, desempleada y a punto de ser desalojada. Necesita una entrada de dinero rápida. Cuando su ausente padre, Jinx, se planta en su puerta y le pide dejarlo mudarse con ella, Margo accede a cambio de ayuda con el cuidado del bebé. Entonces, Margo comienza a tramar un plan: abrirá un OnlyFans como experimento, y pronto se dará cuenta de que está adoptando algunos de los consejos de Jinx del mundo de la lucha libre, como la forma de crear un personaje convincente y hacer que tu público se enamore de ti. Antes de percatarse, Margo se ha convertido en un éxito arrollador. ¿Podría ser esta la respuesta a todos los problemas de Margo o la fama en internet viene acompañada de un precio demasiado alto?Absolutamente divertida y llena de un ingenio cortante, Margo’s Got Money Troubles es un relato tierno protagonizado por una joven heroína que lucha para sacarle dinero y poder a mundo que tiene poco interés en dárselo. -----“An audacious, wildly funny, completely unpredictable novel by a writer so singular that it’s hard to compare her to anyone else . . . absolutely brilliant.” —Kevin WilsonA bold, laugh-out-loud funny, and heartwarming story about one young woman’s attempt to navigate adulthood, new motherhood, and her meager bank account in our increasingly online world—from the PEN/Faulkner finalist and critically acclaimed author of&nbsp;The Knockout Queen.As the child of a Hooters waitress and an ex-pro wrestler, Margo Millet's always known she’d have to make it on her own.
