Available for the first time together in one volume, the final two stories in the Brown and De Luca series from New York Times bestselling author Maggie Shayne. Innocent Prey Self-help superstar Rachel de Luca and Detective Mason Brown have finally given in to their overwhelming attraction to each other, but neither of them is ready to let physical passion turn into full-blown romance. When a judge’s daughter disappears, Mason has a terrible sense that it’s connected to the most recent case they solved together. The discovery of a string of missing women—all young, all troubled—seems like a promising lead. But there’s no clear connection between the missing girls. He realizes that once again he’ll have to rely on his own well-honed instincts and Rachel’s uncanny capacity to see through people’s lies in order to catch a predator and rescue his captives. But can they do it before Rachel becomes his next victim? Deadly Obsession Rachel de Luca has a bad feeling about the new woman in Detective Mason Brown’s life, the nurse taking care of him after he’s injured in the line of duty. She’d like to think it’s just jealousy, but intuition tells her it’s something more, maybe something dangerous. Mason knows Rachel’s wary of commitment, and asking her to stay when he’s in this condition would be the worst thing for their relationship. Then they receive chilling news: Mason’s psychotic sister-in-law has escaped from custody, and her sons—the nephews Mason is raising—are missing and the clock is ticking. As Mason and Rachel try to find the boys, she senses a new and unexpected danger stalking them. Soon, everyone close to Mason is in deadly peril—Rachel more than anyone….

But the secret she shares with Detective Mason Brown is one she has promised to keep. As for Mason, he sees Rachel more clearly than she’d like to admit. After a single night of adrenaline-fueled passion, they have agreed to keep their distance—until a string of murders brings them together again.

Now, Rachel de Luca’s niece Misty is working at the same club, doing the same job. Coincidentally, (not) Misty’s college roommate has a mystery podcast about the very same cold case. Rachel’s been having visions. One of a mermaid dying. One of her nieces, lying dead in the surf on Rachel and Mason’s wedding day. So when her sister expresses worry, Rachel and Mason agree to do a little snooping—only to find their niece Misty is not where she’s supposed to be, nobody knows where she is, and she left her phone behind. Misty’s off the grid with her podcasting partner Zig, surveilling their favorite suspect in the ten-year-old disappearance of professional mermaid Eva Quaid. Misty has been on fire ever since Zig asked her to help. Investigating makes her blood flow faster. She thinks she’s found her true calling. But will she live long enough to answer? And will Rachel find her beloved niece before her visions come true—the way they always do?

A short, riveting thriller that resets you in the Brown and de Luca Universe just in time for book 7, GIRL BLUE. “Shayne has hit the jackpot with the pairing of self-help author Rachel de Luca and Detective Mason Brown. …she is a master storyteller.” –RT Book Reviews on Innocent Prey, a Brown and de Luca Novel Hey, I’m Rachel and just so you know up front, I’ve got a mouth on me. Not in public–when I can help it. Cussing is bad for the image of a bona fide guru of self-help, or that which I call “the bullsh*t I write.” Only, I’m not so sure it’s bullsh*t, because in trying it out, I got my eyesight back after 20 years. Yeah, the corneal tissue came from a serial killer, and yeah, I started seeing his crimes. But still, eyesight. I also have the hottest detective in the universe attached to my proverbial–and, okay, wider than I’d like–hip. I got his 2 nephews with the package and I couldn’t fu–freaking love Jeremy and Josh more if I was their mother, which I’m way too young to be. That’s a lie, Rache. They’re twelve and eighteen. You’re thirty– Don’t interrupt, Inner B*tch, I’m on a roll. I also have my amazing bulldog, Myrtle. I understand her. She’s blind like I used to be. And I got a little something extra with my cornea transplant. “It’s a blessing and a curse,” said the greatest TV detective ever. Only my something extra was…let’s say down. And one of Josh’s sixth-going-into-seventh-grade pals has been kidnapped. The sick prick snatched him off his bicycle and left a note behind. “Wait for instructions.” Only none ever came. What a time for my antennae to be out of whack! So my wires are down, there’s a kid missing, I’m bathing in my pity pool, and things get even worse. A big celebrity psychic shows up to help the cops find the missing kid. In my town. Yeah. No. So there’s all that. But I’m out of room, so…just get the book, and I’ll tell you the rest. # “This is page-turning, non-stop suspense at its finest.” –RT Bookclub on Deadly Obsession, A Brown and de Luca Novel

Mrs. Aldwinkle, an English aristocrat of a certain age, has purchased a mansion in the Italian countryside. She wishes to bring a salon of intellectual luminaries into her orbit, and to that end she invites a strange cast of characters to spend time with her in her palazzo: Irene, her young niece; Ms. Thriplow, a governess-turned-novelist; Mr. Calamy, a handsome young man of great privilege and even greater ennui; Mr. Cardan, a worldly gentleman whose main talent seems to be the enjoyment of life; Hovenden, a young motorcar-obsessed lord with a speech impediment; and Mr. Falx, a socialist leader. To this unlikely cast is soon added Mr. Chelifer, an author with an especially florid, overwrought style that is wasted on his day job as editor of The Rabbit Fancier’s Gazette, and the Elvers, a scheming brother who is the guardian of his mentally-challenged sister. As this unlikely group mingles, they discuss a great many grand topics: love, art, language, life, culture. Yet very early on the reader comes to realize that behind the pompousness of their elaborate discussions lies nothing but vacuity—these characters are a satire of the self-important intellectuals of Huxley’s era. His skewering of their intellectual barrenness continues as the group moves on to a trip around the surrounding country, in a satire of the Grand Tour tradition. The party brings their English snobbery out in full force as they traipse around Rome, sure of nothing else except in their belief that Italy is culturally superior simply because it’s Italy. As the vacation winds down, we’re left with a biting lampoon of the elites who suppose themselves to be at the height of art and culture—the kinds of personalities that arise in every generation, sure of their own greatness but unable to actually contribute anything to the world of art and culture that they feel is so important.

Play is one of humanity's straightforward yet deceitful ideas: though the notion is unanimously agreed upon to be universal, used for man and animal alike, nothing defines what all its manifestations share, from childish playtime to on stage drama, from sporting events to market speculation. Within the author's anthropological field of work (Mongolia and Siberia), playing holds a core position: national holidays are called "Games," echoing in that way the circus games in Ancient Rome and today's Olympics. These games convey ethical values and local identity. Roberte Hamayon bases her analysis of the playing spectrum on their scrutiny. Starting from fighting and dancing, encompassing learning, interaction, emotion and strategy, this study heads towards luck and belief as well as the ambiguity of the relation to fiction and reality. It closes by indicating two features of play: its margin and its metaphorical structure. Ultimately revealing its consistency and coherence, the author displays play as a modality of action of its own. "Playing is no 'doing' in the ordinary sense" once wrote Johan Huizinga. Isn't playing doing something else, elswhere and otherwise ?
