Description:

In a quiet neighborhood in Los Angeles overlooking the Pacific Ocean—in a pristine home with lush gardens—James Brant returns from a late night at work to find his young wife, Nikki, savagely murdered in their bed.

At least that’s his story.

But for Detective Lena Gamble, thrust into the limelight as she tackles her first major case, it’s only a beginning into a dark, twisted journey and a series of ritualized killings that point to a serial killer like no other.

Dubbed ‘Romeo’ by an insatiable media, the killer’s pattern draws Lena into a treacherous web of deceit that may be linked to her own past—the murder of her rock star brother, gunned down on a dark street in Hollywood five years ago.

With panic over the murders sweeping across the city and wildfires burying the streets in clouds of smoke, Lena rips through the evidence and uncovers Romeo’s vile secret.

But now no one is safe. Not even her, as the hunter becomes the hunted, and Romeo believes only Lena Gamble can satisfy his every desire.

Out of answers and out of hope, Lena knows in her heart of hearts that there’s only one way left to end Romeo’s psychotic rampage. Face the terror head-on, and enter the madman’s world—on her own.

“City of Fire is my kind of crime novel. Gritty, tight and assured. Riding with Detective Lena Gamble through the hills of Los Angeles is something I could get used to. She’s tough, smart, and most of all, she’s real.”—Michael Connelly

Description:

For fans of Nora Roberts and Danielle Steel, beloved storyteller Fern Michaels blends mystery, drama, and a touch of romance for the fourth in her #1 bestselling Lost & Found series, as a shoebox of mementoes found in a childhood dresser becomes the catalyst for a search into Luna’s own past…Even though Luna and her brother Cullen seem like complete opposites, they’re identical in two ways: they’ll never let injustice stand and they always have each other’s back... Sometimes, two very different pieces of furniture just pair perfectly together. Brother and sister Cullen and Luna Bodman work much the same way. While practical-minded Cullen Bodman focuses on their family’s antiques restoration business, his sister Luna’s next-door Namaste Café brings in new clientele. As a thank you to his sister, Cullen retrieves Luna’s childhood dresser from storage and refinishes it. A delighted Luna rummages through the drawers and discovers a shoebox full of mementos of her friend Brendan, reviving memories of love and a broken heart. But a flurry of emails and texts leads to a very brief death notice: Born. Died. Nothing else. Beyond Luna’s sadness is her uncanny intuition that something about the announcement is off, a feeling that intensifies when she later glimpses a person who seems to be Brendan’s doppelganger. His laugh, his walk—Luna remembers both so well. Is her old friend really alive? And if so, who faked his death, and why? It’s not the first time an item of furniture has spurred Luna to solve a fascinating puzzle. But this time, the mystery is much more personal, and the stakes infinitely higher . . .
