Book 1: Downfall by Terri Blackstock
Description:
Emily Covington has turned her life around after a drug addiction, but her family still has trouble trusting her. Though Emily has committed herself to a year-long treatment program and has been sober for almost a year beyond that, even her mother walks on eggshells around her, fearing she'll relapse. After her behavior during her drug years, Emily realizes she has a lot to prove. When police discover a homemade bomb under Emily's car, and she then learns the wife of one of her friends was murdered that same morning, she knows things are deadly serious. But who wants Emily dead? And why? A conversation she had with two men, an Alfred Hitchcock movie, and a plan for a double murder all conspire for one explosive ride ... and Emily is the only one who can identify the killer and save the life of the next potential victim. As she frantically works to solve this ever more complicated puzzle, Emily finds herself playing right into the killer's hands.
Book 2: The Last Plea Bargain by Randy Singer
Description:
Book 3: Rare Earth by Davis Bunn
Description:
Marc Royce stares down from the helicopter on the Rift Valley slashing across Africa like a scar. Tribal feuds, drought, and dislocation have left their devastation. And he sees a new wound--a once-dormant volcano oozing molten lava across the dry landscape-and clouds of ash obscure his vision. His undercover assignment is similarly obscured. Supposedly dispatched to audit a relief organization's accounts, Marc finds himself amid the squalor and chaos of Kenyan refugee camps caught in a stranglehold of corruption and ruthlessness.But his true task relates to the area's reserves of once-obscure metals now indispensible to high-tech industry. The value of this rare earth inflames tensions on the world's stage as well as among warring tribes. When an Israeli medical administrator, Kitra, seeks Marc's help with her humanitarian efforts, they forge an unexpected link between impoverished African villages and another Silicon Valley rising in the Israeli desert. Precious metals and inventive minds promise new opportunities for prosperity, secure futures, and protection of valuable commodities from terrorists. As Marc prepares to report back to Washington, he seizes a chance to restore justice to this troubled land. This time, he may have gone too far.
Book 4 (four books because there was a tie): Submerged by Dani Pettrey
Description:
A sabotaged plane. Two dead deep-water divers.
Yancey, Alaska was a quiet town...until the truth of what was hidden in the depths off the coast began to appear.
Bailey
Craig vowed never to set foot in Yancey again. She has a past, and a
reputation--and Yancey's a small town. She's returned to bury a loved
one killed in the plane crash and is determined not to stay even an hour
more than necessary. But then dark evidence emerges and Bailey's own
expertise becomes invaluable for the case.
Cole McKenna can
handle the deep-sea dives and helping the police recover evidence. He
can even handle the fact that a murderer has settled in his town and
doesn't appear to be moving on. But dealing with the reality of Bailey's
reappearance is a tougher challenge. She broke his heart, but she is
not the same girl who left Yancey. He let her down, but he's not the
same guy she left behind. Can they move beyond the hurts of their pasts
and find a future together?
