FIVE TALES: MURDER, MYSTERY, AND MAYHEM THE DEVIL'S WORKSHOP An investment advisor falls 27 floors to his death. An auxiliary bishop is strangled. An art gallery owner dies in the middle of the night. Their only link is an obscure painter living underground in Mexico, pulling the levers of a plan of revenge that goes back nearly 500 years. Homicide detective Ken Abrams and mystery writer Rebecca Stuart unite to root out a plot so fiendish it could only have originated in The Devil's Workshop. THE DEVIL’S CARAVAN When a Mexican cathedral collapsed five months ago the secret network of tunnels beneath it was crushed. Who were the 128 that clawed their way out? Newspaper reports say nothing about survivors. But straggling north a thin column of refugees is searching for a new home, a place to come to earth, or beneath it. They travel by night and hide by day. They have little money and their main asset is determination. Where will they turn up next? Can a renegade priest and his Mexican girlfriend offer them a way to safety? The Devil’s Caravan is the long awaited sequel to The Devil’s Workshop. AND DARK MY DESIRE Vampire Monty Townshend has been unable to get out of his coffin for 77 years. When he’s suddenly unearthed by highway excavation, he sets about making up for lost time.

Only Anya, her Ukrainian maid, sees Monty for what he is. When his eye next lands on Jennifer, a young neighbor planning her marriage, he can’t quite decide whether to bite her or seduce her. A new range of feelings competes with the old. He is just beginning to understand Jennifer’s starling taste for risk, when everything blows up in his face. Both funnier and sexier than The Addams Family. AND DARKER MY WRATH After only 5 months in his coffin, Monty Townshend is back, and he’s mad. Fortunately, he’s just in time to attend the wedding of the delectable Jennifer Martin, his dream girl, who has never forgotten him. Can her marriage to the unexciting architect, Brad Temple, survive Monty’s more virile and vibrant reappearance?
