“A remarkably accomplished debut mystery, with sensitive character development and a heart-stopping denouement.” —Booklist, starred review
Nobody knows what happened to Sarah Cook. The beautiful blonde teenager disappeared fifteen years ago, the same night her parents were brutally murdered in their suburban Ohio home. Her boyfriend Brad Stockton—black and from the wrong side of the tracks—was convicted of the murders and is now on death row. Though he’s maintained his innocence all along, the clock is running out. His execution is only weeks away when his sister insists she spied Sarah at an area gas station. Willing to try anything, she hires PI Roxane Weary to look into the case.
Brad might be in a bad way, but private investigator Roxane Weary isn’t doing so hot herself. Still reeling from the recent death of her cop father in the line of duty, her main way of dealing with her grief has been working as little and drinking as much as possible. But Roxane finds herself drawn in to the story of Sarah’s vanishing act, especially when she links the disappearance to one of her father’s unsolved murder cases involving another teen girl.
The stakes get higher as Roxane discovers that the two girls may not be the only beautiful blonde teenagers who’ve turned up missing or dead. As her investigation gets darker and darker, Roxane will have to risk everything to find the truth.
“Lepionka has created an appealing, relatable lead.” —Publishers Weekly

FIND EDEN. SAVE THE WORLD.
Marah Chase has everything she wants. Her academic career is back on track, she’s moved into a Manhattan apartment, and a dream job is waiting at the American Museum of Natural History. So why can’t she seem to stop slipping into her old ways, traveling the world in search of lost relics and buried treasure?
Back out in the field, Chase finds the lost Ark of the Covenant, a discovery that could trigger a holy war. The Ark also brings Chase into conflict with another legendary relic runner, August Nash, and the clash between them is one the entire underground smuggling community has been waiting for – and it’s not one that will end anytime soon.
Upon returning home, Chase is hired by US soda billionaire Lauren Stanford to find the Fountain of Youth. At first, Chase dismisses this idea. But then Stanford tells her that an old friend found some information on the Fountain’s location and is now missing. Chase agrees to take the job – but only to find her friend – and enlists allies along the way on a trail from New York to London and then on to Glasgow. Behind the myth, they find, lies a much older secret, one that could verify or refute the bible, and rewrite everything we know. With the Garden of Eden in her sights, Chase must get there ahead of Nash and his shadowy employer. Whoever wins will have control over the future of humanity.
The End of Eden is a tense, exciting, and epic adventure novel, spanning three continents and broadening the world of the Marah Chase series, placing Chase in a unique position to confront questions of identity, faith, imperialism, and appropriation.

Death isn’t the end. It’s a reset.
Aristotle “Ari” Zurr-McIntyre is trapped in an impossible cycle. When he dies—whether by accident, suicide, or murder—he doesn’t stay dead. He reappears, often younger, always naked, somewhere entirely new, the memories of his past life dissolving like smoke. He’s a Vanisher, a genetic anomaly hunted by those who crave the secret to his regeneration.
From the rain-slicked streets of Cleveland to the sun-drenched beaches of St. Thomas, from the shadowy corners of New York’s Murdock’s Café to the halls of Emory University, Ari leaves behind fragments of lives he can barely recall. He’s pursued by ruthless agents working for the powerful Schillersdorf family and the brilliant Dr. Bonn, who believe his unique DNA holds the key to cheating death itself.
Just when existence feels like an endless loop of trauma, he meets Lilyanne Beloshinski. She’s intelligent, captivating, and unknowingly linked to the very people hunting him. Their connection is electric, a potential haven, but loving her means dragging her into his deadly reality.
Caught in a web of genetic destiny, corporate espionage, and fragmented identities, Ari must fight not only for survival but for the very memories that define him. Can love anchor a soul adrift across lifetimes, or will the next vanish tear them apart for good?
Dive into Vanishing Bodies, a mind-bending journey through science, conspiracy, and the desperate search for self in a world where death is just a doorway.
For fans of ‘Hyperion’ by Dan Simmons, Isaac Asimov, Blake Crouch, Robert Heinlein, and Michael Crichton.
