For centuries, Thistlewood Manor has stood as home to the Montagu family, a beacon to British aristocracy in rural England. But it’s 1928, and in this new age of women’s rights, Eliza Montagu, 27, a free spirit, has turned her back on her family to live an artist’s life in London.

But when an unexpected family crisis arrives, Eliza has no choice but to return home to the demands of her family, to help her father, and to meet the Lord they hope she’ll marry.

When a dead body appears in the midst of the reunion, Eliza quickly realizes that if she doesn’t solve the mystery, the crime may just be pinned on her, and dash her hopes for a life as a free woman.

Retired US Detective Emil Janowitz lied to his wife for nearly forty years. Having lost his entire family whilst an inmate of Auschwitz-Birkenau it was simply easier on his soul to invent a past than face up to the demons buried deep inside. Life was good, but then the mail arrived bringing a letter which would result in a voyage of discovery, denunciation and confrontation with the past. Life is a journey, history should not be forgotten, the evil still exists.

Lies and misdirection rule Fiona’s game.
Fiona O’Dell is a clever manipulator. But is she a dangerous sociopath?

On the run, Fiona is last seen leaving a motel room, where the police find a gruesome scene. One man is dead, and another clings to life. Staged to look like a sexual dalliance gone wrong, there is more to this than meets the eye. Her boss is quick to identify Fiona as the mastermind behind the theft of materials where all three work. One thing is certain, lives are at stake if she releases this sensitive data. But what have these two victims to do with Fiona? Are they her partners in crime? Did she double-cross them?

As law enforcement hunt for her across four states, they discover men from her past are being murdered for no apparent reason. Is she on a revenge mission? Or were they part of her elaborate plan to sell the information? The police are stumped. None of this makes any sense. Time is running out before the data goes on the dark web for sale, and they are no closer to catching her.

Most salespeople worry about seeming too pushy when they sell. They remember when they have been victims of aggressive sales tactics in the past, so now they vow to sell differently. As humans, we’re wired for survival so we avoid experiences that make us feel uncomfortable. However, avoiding selling is disastrous to business. Catherine Brown, Founder of the ExtraBold Sales system, understands why Good Humans struggle to sell. Learning a reliable sales process is only half of the success equation. The other half is about us, the sellers—our individual values, habits, beliefs, and goals. In this book, Catherine explains how social science helps us sell well. Her approach to selling without sleaze or cheese invigorates salespeople, so they can consistently overcome their fear of seeming pushy, reach more prospects, and close more business.
