Aurelio Zen—cynical and tough, yet worn down from years of law enforcement—has just been given the worst assignment he could imagine. He has been sent to the heart of hostile territory: Sicily, the ancient, beautiful island where blood has been known to flow like wine, and the distinction between the police and the criminals is a fine one. Even worse, he has been sent to spy on the elite anti-Mafia squad.The only thing that makes the job palatable—and takes his mind off routine details like the rotting body found in a remote train car—is that Zen's adopted daughter, Carla, is also in town. But life becomes precarious for Carla when she stumbles upon some information she'd be better off not knowing and befriends a local magistrate on the Mafia's most wanted list. What ensues is a breakneck plot of amazing complexity that culminates in a stunning finale. Blood Rain, emotionally gripping and defiantly original, is surely one of Dibdin's finest works.

On a rainy San Francisco November day, a brutal murder and a missing document take David Moore away from his duties as co-owner and private investigator of Rothmore Securities. McCloud College, a long-respected city institution, is under an attack that threatens its existence. The San Francisco Police reluctantly work with Moore, a former colleague, to identify who is killing faculty members. A lovely widow, a mousey professor with a gun, a well-connected and handsome college president, a deadly chief of campus security, and a rogue priest quickly pull him into a storm as violent as the one battering the Northern California coast. When a recently fired faculty member is murdered, Moore turns to an unlikely ally for help. She is a seductive department secretary whose need for thrills drives her into the arms of some very dangerous company. Moore must also fight against the knowledge that the lovely widow has some damning marks against her, not the least of which is his growing fondness for her. He hasn't much time to solve this puzzle, because two hired killers want the same lost document and guess correctrly that he knows where it is.

In this 11th installment of the bestselling Shadows in the Water series, Louie Thorne proves she is still the “indelible protagonist” (Kirkus Reviews) readers know and love. The success of Konstantine’s underworld empire is secured by the loyalty of his brother-in-arms, Stefano. But when Stefano’s sister is murdered, and Stefano himself goes missing, Konstantine suspects that a new up-and-coming rival is to blame. And there is no shortage of gangsters vying for Konstantine’s crown. The easiest solution to this threat is to send La Strega. Louie Thorne is the nightmare they fear most and it would be nothing for her to kill anyone who stands in Konstantine’s way. Or it would be nothing, if Louie were not seven months pregnant with their child. To send Louie after Stefano now, in her condition, would be to put both their lives at risk. Will Konstantine abandon his friend in order to keep Louie and the baby safe? Or will he break his promise to Louie—and go after Stefano alone… Praise for Shadows in the Water ★★★★★ “An amazing book with a unique premise!” ★★★★★ “Dark and suspenseful, Shadows in the Water sends tingles down your spine!” ★★★★★ “The main character is a serial killer, but it's cool.
