When a climber suspiciously falls to his death and a local artist has her dog stolen, both cases fall into the lap of local sleuth, Patricia Fisher...and so starts an adventure that will see her travel the world.

Amid glistening icebergs and chill winds, the Aurelia sails from Newfoundland to Iceland. It's a beautiful setting...for revenge. Patricia and friends are back on the ship with a few new faces alongside the old. It ought to be cause for celebration but the Aurelia is suffering a series of mishaps and the captain, devilishly handsome Alistair Huntley, suspects sabotage is to blame. But who is the saboteur? What would motivate a person to damage a ship in frigid waters and what might that person do next?

When a famous artist boards the Aurelia, no one expects his work to be interrupted by a death, especially when the victim is the artist’s muse who seemed vibrant and full of life just hours before. The official verdict is suicide, but that doesn’t sit well with our famous sleuth and all too soon, she is poking her nose where someone doesn’t want it.

She spent a fortune on the dress. It would have been cheaper to buy unicorn horn, but before she can even put it on, a scream splits the air...and the first body is found. Patricia and her friends are the special guests of the world’s third richest man, her benefactor, the Maharaja of Zangrabar. At a banquet thrown to celebrate a new peace treaty between his country, and long-time hostile neighbour, Itarnia, the murder of Itarnia’s ambassador does not bode well. To prevent a return to war, Patricia and her team must unravel the clues to find the killer.

She over 50, feisty, and oh so good at solving mysteries. Patricia Fisher is not your average woman. To start with she lives in a 73-room manor house and travels with a Jamaican butler who is part ninja and fakes his Downton Abbey accent. Then add to those facts that she just opened a private investigations business and throw in the worrying bit where people keep trying to kill her. When a climber suspiciously falls to his death and a local artist has her dog stolen, Patricia finds herself investigating two cases that seem to have no motive and no clues.

Dare to enter the Land of Enchantment with New Mexico Fairytales, a fantasy treat of Southwestern lore. When you walk through the desert, a place where relief from sun and wind hides from human eyes, you'll find spirit guides who bring relief to thirsting human souls. In the desert snow, a monstrous chupacabras and a shepherd battle to the death, while a desperate man risks everything to avenge the murder of a friend.
