    About this series

    No one's who they seem in the thrilling new Nick and Nora Mystery, and someone's playing the part of a clever killer . . .

    When a nighttime soap opera comes to town to film an episode, no one's more excited than Nora Charles, who's landed the contract for catering the shoot. But if she thought the show's plotlines were full of drama and intrigue, that's nothing compared to what she witnesses among the cast and crew. With half of them sneaking off for secret liaisons one minute and at each other's throats the next, it's all a titillating behind-the-scenes look for Nora-until she stumbles across the body of the show's slain director.

    It's not long before the local authorities finger the brother of Nora's good friend for the evil deed, and it's up to Nora and her sidekick Nick to get him off the hook. As she begins to sort out the cast's romantic entanglements and professional rivalries looking for a motive, she also discovers that the victim was involved in the mysterious death of the show's previous director. And then another member of the crew is found murdered, and Nora knows she'll have to act fast to figure out who's playing the part of the killer, before she's cast in the role of the next victim . . .

      Back in her hometown, Nora reconnects with old friends and makes some new ones, like Nick, the charming feline who seems determined to be her cat. But not everything about Cruz is friendly. Writing for a local online magazine, Nora investigates the curious death of socialite Lola Grainger. Though it was deemed an accident, Nora suspects foul play. And it seems that her cat does too. Apparently, Nick used to belong to a P.I. who disappeared while investigating Lola Grainger's death. The coincidence is spooky, but not as spooky as the clues Nick spells out for her with Scrabble letters-clues that lead her down an increasingly dangerous path. Whether fate put her on this case or not, solving it will take all of Nora's wits, and maybe a few of Nick's nine lives.

      Since inheriting her mother's sandwich shop, Nora Charles is more about hot grilled paninis than cold-blooded murder-until her sister Lacey is arrested. The victim, an esteemed art collector and Lacey's bullying professor, was stabbed in the heart. Apparently, all over a lousy grade. Off campus, things were just as dicey. The prof had an ex with secrets, a trophy wife set to inherit a fortune in masterworks, and a scorned student mistress. Going undercover, Nora realizes that investigating this crime is the biggest test of her sleuthing career. Because if she fails, even Nick's animal instinct won't be enough to rescue Lacey from a perfectly executed framing.

      Nick and Nora are back in a tantalizing new mystery that's far more dangerous than a game of cat and mouse . . . Never one to turn away from a challenge-even when it goes against her better judgment-Nora Charles can hardly say no when an old friend of her mother's comes to town seeking her help. The author of steamy romances has learned that her writing partner is severing their relationship and threatening to reveal dark and dirty secrets in a tell-all, and she pleads with Nora to intervene. Reluctantly agreeing to help, Nora pays a visit to the writing partner, ready to make her case-right up until the moment she discovers the woman's lifeless body. With the police convinced that Nora's friend is the culprit, she and Nick begin delving into the dead woman's past and her provocative tell-all. It soon becomes apparent that the woman had a knack for digging up dirt and wasn't shy about exposing skeletons in closets, and before long Nora has a seemingly endless list of suspects who were at risk of having their darkest secrets revealed. With a police force intent on throwing the book at Nora's friend and time running out, she and Nick must outwit a dangerous killer before they take their own secrets to the grave . . .

      Dead men tell no tales, but in the riveting new Nick and Nora Mystery, they sure leave a lot of clues . . . When a local PI's untimely death is ruled a suicide by the police, budding sleuth Nora Charles has no intention of letting sleeping dogs lie-or sleeping cats, for that matter. Certain it was a case of foul play, Nora rouses her trusty sidekick Nick and launches an investigation of her own. Then a second PI is murdered, and Nora knows the two men were on to something-and that she's on to something too. Following the enigmatic clues left by her late predecessors, Nora soon uncovers a plot that involves a local politician, missing campaign funds, and what could be a bogus real estate deal. But when hints of treason surface, what started as small-time thievery soon balloons into a matter of national security. With the uncanny Nick sniffing out-and spelling out-leads, Nora follows a trail that will take her to the heart of a shadowy conspiracy, and into a trap set by a conniving culprit that will have her wishing she had Nick's nine lives . . .
