Darwin Cole, ex-F-16 fighter pilot, is a washout --- drunk and alone, and haunted by what he saw on the display of the drone he "piloted." He teams up with three journalists investigating the identity of the anonymous --- and possibly rogue --- intelligence operative who directed Cole's drone mission. But in a surveillance culture, even the well-intentioned are in danger, especially when they're tracking leads to the very heart of that culture --- in intelligence, in the military, and among the unchecked private contractors who stand to profit richly from the advancing technology…technology not just for use "over there," but for right here, right now.

Early in Mary Tudor’s turbulent reign, Lady Catherine and Lady Mary Grey are reeling after the brutal execution of their elder 17-year-old sister, Lady Jane Grey, and the succession is by no means stable. In SISTERS OF TREASON, Elizabeth Fremantle brings these young women to life in a spellbinding Tudor tale of love and politics.

As three lost souls --- a smart-mouthed, rebellious nine-year-old; her fifth-grade teacher; and the owner of the legendary jazz club The Cat's Pajamas --- search for love, music and hope on the snow-covered streets of Philadelphia, together they will discover life’s endless possibilities over the course of one magical night.

Growing up in the days of food rations, blackouts, and absent fathers, Wally Baker is raised as much by her grandparents' maid as by her mother, the unstable but dazzling Stella. More interested in the latest adventures of Wonder Woman and the ants she excavated from the backyard of her grandparents' brownstone than in dresses or needlepoint, she has her suspicions about Mr. Niederman, the boarder (or spy, she thinks) who has taken the place of her father in her home --- and by her mother's side. Then, a sudden tragedy on V-J Day alters Wally's life forever, raising questions about her mother's past that the inquisitive young girl, and then young woman, can't ignore.

When A., the European relative of the Wells family, inherits a beautiful, yet eerie, estate set deep in the woods of Point Bless, Virginia, it comes as a surprise to everyone. A. never knew he had a "second cousin, twice removed" in America, much less that his relative committed suicide by jumping out of the third floor window --- at the same age and in the same way as his father before him. A. and his companion,Niamh, arrive in Virginia and quickly come to feel as if they have inherited much more than just a home. Axton House is haunted…they know it…but the presence of a ghost is just the first of a series of disturbing secrets they slowly uncover.

The house is historic, some say haunted. It is also slated to be razed and replaced by condos, unless Hannah Smith can do something about it. She’s been hired by a wealthy Palm Beach widow to prove that the house’s seller didn’t disclose everything he knew about the place when he unloaded it, including its role in a bloody Civil War skirmish, and the suicides --- or were they murders? --- of two previous owners.

Convinced that Michael is dead, Natasha makes an error in judgment that leads to a private trauma of her own. A few days later, she and Michael are reunited, but the horror of that day and Natasha's inability to speak of it inexorably divide their relationship into "before" and "after."
