Bøger i A Mechanic Falls Gem Caper serien

Fired as an exotic dancer, Tori Marsh seeks payback by stealing the club owner's shipment of illegal emeralds bound for the black market. Regret somes too late. With more than one vicious criminal after her, Tori Flees Hamilton and heads north. Her car breaks down in Mechanic Falls and she calls on her skills as a mortuary cosmetologist to survive. Twin embalmers promise her safe harbour and to keep her secrets. But, do they have their own agenda? Erik Gerard, the enigmatic bartender at the strip club, witnesses Tori's theft and follows the gems. While the hunt for Tori and the gems intensifies, he wrestles with an impossible choice - nab the gems and leave Tori to her fate, or protect her and chance losing a fortune. Relying on her wits to survive won't work for Tori this time. Not before the men pursuing her, or the ghostly shadow in the casket room, force her back to the dangerous streets. Can Tori and Erik set aside their suspicions and unite to evade the danger? Will they even live to feel safe again?

It's Shaping up to be a Blue Christmas Days before Christmas, the worst snowstorm in two decades strands guests and staff at the Diamant Hills Conference Centre in Mechanic Falls. A Police Chiefs' convention and a real estate symposium are in full swing, but that doesn't deter a jewel-loving thief from robbing the guest rooms of valuables. Three of the law enforcement professionals are confident they have the intruder in their sights, and they'll nail him before the roads clear. But Tori, Bliss, and Alysha - their determined and resourceful civilian partners - are certain the culprit is someone else entirely. The men increase surveillance to capture the camera-dodging thief while the women hatch a better plan over tequila shots and Christmas cookies. A classic competition between the sexes plays out in the stormbound conference centre and could put more than one holiday romance on ice. Underlying the fast-paced investigation is a long-hidden secret, known only to a handful, that will affect them all. Tori, Bliss, and Alysha - two of them victims of the thief - decide to blast the secret wide open. At the right moment. Which team will solve the crime and recover the gems before the storm ends and the culprit escapes? Whose Christmas could be cancelled this year?
