Maggie Redmond was angry. Though the baby was uninjured, things could have been much worse. When the mother's body is found two days later, in a lake far outside town on the road to the county prison, Maggie suddenly has more than child endangerment or a missing person on her hands. Kristen Morgan's family and doctor say that she was depressed and possibly not taking her medication, and that she'd talked about suicide in the past, but Maggie and her fiance, former Sheriff Wyatt Hamilton, aren't convinced. When evidence of homicide surfaces, Maggie must discover who wanted a young mother dead, and why. The greatly-anticipated 8th book in the Forgotten Coast Florida Suspense series has plenty of page-turning action and suspense, along with its trademark coastal atmosphere, rich characterization and dry humor.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49781128986897,"sku":"CIN0998666920VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51079388430609,"sku":"CIN0998666920G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0998666920.jpg?v=1750749134"},{"product_id":"dead-wake-book-dawn-lee-mckenna-9780692613061","title":"Dead Wake","description":"\u003cb\u003eDIY has a sinister component in historic Apalachicola, Florida, \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the local florists find a dead guy in their wall, it opens up a decades-old missing persons case.

J. Sansom's bestselling Tudor crime series. Summer, 1540. It has been three years since the terrible events at Scarnsea monastery, and lawyer-detective Matthew Shardlake is living a quiet life in London - until a summons from Cromwell sees him embarking on another dangerous secret assignment. Someone has stolen the last barrel of 'Greek Fire': a legendary, highly potent incendiary weapon thought lost since the fall of Constantinople. Shardlake is tasked with tracking it down - and he must move quickly, for Cromwell is out of favour with the King and is relying on the precious substance to save his skin. But Shardlake has another, equally urgent case to deal with - defending an orphan girl, Elizabeth Wentworth, who is accused of murdering her young cousin. Aided by Cromwell's man, Barak, Shardlake must race against time to solve both cases, for the fates of both Cromwell and Elizabeth depend on him. Winner of the 2005 CWA Ellis Peters Historical Dagger Award, Dark Fire is the second thrilling instalment in the 'Shardlake' series. This atmospheric crime drama, starring Justin Salinger as Shardlake, Bryan Dick as Barak and Robert Glenister as Thomas Cromwell, features deception, dark secrets, captivating characters and a vibrant historical setting.
