A DEVOTED WIFE. THE PERFECT MOTHER. A DARK PAST SHE’LL DO ANYTHING TO OUTRUN. MEET DETECTIVE JEN GARNER.

Jen Garner’s picture-perfect family life hides a dark secret and a darker past.

And when the body of a woman is found face down in a foot of water near Jen’s home, Detective Chris Jackson is called in to investigate.

He’s shaken to find similarities to an unsolved murder from the year before. The one case he can’t forget.

As Jen begins receiving strange gifts, she is dragged into the investigation. Is the past finally catching up with her?

But she has no idea how fast the perfect life can unravel . . .

Or how far she’ll go to keep it.

Will a jinx keep them from happily ever after?

When Penelope Warner and her best friends made a pact after college to wait until they turn thirty to get married, she never thought they’d jinx themselves. But ever since they signed their names on the dotted line, their dating lives have been one catastrophe after another.

If that wasn’t bad enough, her new boss is Lucas Abbott—her high school crush and the town’s most eligible bachelor—and the attraction she feels is definitely not one-sided this time. But he’s not supposed to date employees due to a past family scandal, so what are they to do but keep things on the down low?

Now that the guy might finally be in Penelope’s life, she’s worried it will end in another dating disaster. But is the jinx their biggest obstacle or are deeper issues standing in their way?

The lights are just about to go out for good in my father’s PI office when I get an unexpected call from the state penitentiary. My mother’s only brother was sent up for robbery years ago, and now he needs Dad’s help to get his daughter out of trouble. It’s impossible for me to be sure that the pendant around Cousin Betty’s neck is stolen, but one thing’s for sure—she doesn’t want to talk about where it came from. When my cousin gets gunned down walking home and the necklace disappears, I realize I’m not only looking for a thief . . . I’m dealing with a murderer.

Can I track down the identity of a man named Jack in time, or will he disappear into the shadows, only to kill again?

The Andreasson Affair is more than just a classic example of a close encounter. It is—to use the jargon of ufologists—a case of such “high strangeness” that even the most open-minded investigators were at first inclined to dismiss it out of hand. Yet it has become probably the best documented case of its kind to date, the subject of an intensive 12-month investigation conducted for the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) that involved, among other things, the recording of large quantities of testimony given under hypnosis, extensive lie detector testing of witnesses, detailed analysis of corroborative circumstantial evidence, exhaustive comparison with other such accounts, and much more.

Sasha, a young computer programmer from Leningrad, is driving through the forests of Northwest Russia to meet up with some friends for a nature vacation. He picks up a couple of local hitchhikers, who persuade him to come work with them at the National Institute for the Technology of Witchcraft and Thaumaturgy, or NITWiT. The adventures Sasha has in the largely dysfunctional Institute involve all sorts of magical beings and devices—a wish-granting fish, a talking cat who can remember only the beginnings of stories, a sofa that translates fairy tales into reality, a motorcycle that can zoom into the imagined future, a hungry dog-size mosquito—along with a variety of wizards (including Merlin), vampires, and petty bureaucrats.
