OBSESSION, DECEIT AND REALLY DARK CHOCOLATE 9/2007 ISBN: 0373895534 Sophie Katz's relationship with the irresistible and occasionally insufferable P.I. Anatoly Darinsky is on the fritz when a friend recruits Sophie's investigation skills to decode her possibly two-timing husband's strange behavior. When Sophie shows up in a short, red cocktail dress and her friend's hubby winds up dead, the loveable would-be sleuth can't help but take on the job. Suddenly plunged into a crazy world of campaign mudslinging, dirt-digging and cover-ups, Sophie begins to uncover some pretty dirty secrets indeed— involving a conservative congressional hopeful's involvement in the Furry community, a group of people who dress up in mascot-size stuffed animal costumes. Sex and politics, wouldn't you know? Way in over her head as usual, Sophie reluctantly—or not-so-reluctantly— enlists the help of her two-time sidekick and ex—Anatoly. Together they set out to determine who killed Eugene and why, and in the process can't resist falling for each other—again?
PASSION, BETRAYAL AND KILLER HIGHLIGHTS 5/2006 ISBN: 037389578X Sophie Katz has just offered a man $12,000 for his services...Is she desperate or just meshugeneh? Considering the kind of disasters that usually befall the half-black, half-Jewish mystery writer, probably both. Because the last time Sophie saw sexy P.I. Anatoly Darinsky, he practically danced a jig when she waved goodbye—a normal reaction for a man who'd nearly bought the farm trying to protect her from her own foolishness. What are the chances he'd agree to take incriminating pictures of her sister's philandering husband? Or that he'd let her tag along—you know ...for research? But when her brother-in-law turns up dead and her sister becomes the prime suspect, Sophie's priority is finding the real killer. With or without Anatoly's help. Her brother-in-law's secret life yields plenty of suspects, but the San Francisco police aren't taking any of them seriously. So Sophie does what comes naturally to her: she stirs up trouble (to lure the killer out, of course). But if her crazy plan works, will Anatoly be there to protect her this time?
SEX, MURDER AND A DOUBLE LATTE 5/2005 ISBN: 0373895194 When a mystery writer cries bloody murder, everyone blames her overactive imagination.. Thriller scribe Sophie Katz is as hard-boiled as a woman who drinks grande caramel brownie frappuccinos can be—maybe it's from a lifetime of fielding dumb comments about her half-black, half-Jewish ethnicity. ("My sister married a Polynesian! I just love your culture!") So Sophie knows it's not paranoia or post-divorce, living-alone-again jitters, when she becomes convinced that a crazed reader is sneaking into her apartment to reenact scenes from her books. The police, however, can't tell a good plot from an unmarked grave. When a filmmaker friend is brutally murdered in the manner of a death scene in one of his movies, Sophie becomes convinced that a copycat killer is on the loose—and that she's the next target. If she doesn't solve the mystery, her own bestseller will spell out her doom, cursing her grisly imagination (Why, oh, why did she have to pick the axe?), Sophie engages in some real-life gumshoe tactics. The man who swoops in to save her in dark alleys at night is mysterious new love interest Anatoly Darinsky. Of course, if this were fiction, Anatoly would be her prime suspect....

THE SPLINTERED MOON 4/1985 ISBN: 0380897857 Megan and her family had always been "summer people" in the lovely little Massachusetts town by the sea...the secluded ridge, who never mingled with the Talan folks, and left with the first cold wind. Megan had long dreamed of being part of "real life" down by the boat yards where the year round people lived. In her own pottery shop along Front street was a perfect opportunity...and a perfect chance to be close to Jake Nickerson who worked at the harbor. Jake...who had become much more than just the childhood friend who had shared so many of her summers. But "real Life" at a waterfront turns out to be much more than idyllic nights of love. When Megan had to identify the body of a friend who has been murdered, she is struck with the chilling realization that she's in the middle of a treacherous scheme...and dangerously close to a man who could turn her dreams into nightmares.

WILD MIDNIGHT 1987 ISBN: 0553261401 Summer of seduction. Sultry South Carolina, the dramatic coast, the lush marshlands, the sun-baked low country, Rachel Brinton came to this land of beauty and menace from Philadelphia to help the Ashepoo River tenant farmers rebuild their lives. But she was not prepared for the danger she would confront there. Among the tightly knit rural community, one man savagely opposed Rachel. Beau Tillson, the darkly brooding, intelligent, proud master of Belle Haven, had led a tragic life that had scarred and embittered him. He would allow no one, least of all a 'do-gooder' like Rachel, to endanger his beloved plantation. Like a moth to the flame, Rachel was drawn to Beau, desperately fighting the emotions he unleashed in their first explosive encounter. She had met her match in this man who was as haunted and dark as the endless night in which he lived. Yet an even greater peril awaited her in the deep summer shadows, and her only chance of survival lay with the man they called 'Beau Devil.'
