No matter what goes down at the Bureau, Tonys got her back--until hes called to New York to help investigate the murder of a reporter with ties to Lucy.

Judge Raymond Fogletree just became number five. His body was found in the basement of a lakeside cabin he had built himself and frequently used on weekends. When he did not show up for a trial on Monday morning, his law clerks panicked, called the FBI, and in due course the agents found the crime scene. There was no forced entry, no struggle, just two dead bodies--Judge Fogletree and his young secretary. I did not know Judge Fogletree, but I know who killed him, and why. I am a lawyer, and I am in prison. Its a long story. --publisher. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1646687 Retired constable Ned Parker plans to live a quiet life as a cotton farmer.

Blinded by a terrible accident that killed his wife, Unc prefers to practice his golf game when no one is watching. But before anyone can even tee off, Huger makes a grisly find: a womans body, anchored deep in the mud at the waters low tide. The discovery sets off a chain of events that puts Huger and his family up against secret military forces, old friends, longtime neighbors, lost loves, and shadowy global networks. The only thing connecting them all is Landgrave Hall--and the treacherous reason why this area is so important to so many people. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1703219 Detective Zach Jordan investigates a series of brutal, public crimes that coincide with the arrival of dozens of glamorous celebrities in town for parties and premieres.
