Amateur sleuth and college professor Kate Chambers works with Detective Jablonsky of the Pittsburgh police to solve murders in her hometown in this mystery series boxed set.

How well does your barista know you?

Following a string of high-profile digital robberies, FBI agent Lucielle and Cybercrimes Analyst Olivia work to chase down the hackers responsible. But they have no idea those criminals are sitting in the cars ahead of them in the drive-through.

Only one person may be able to link them all together and fill in the missing gaps: Amanda Lexie, the barista who knows them all by name and remembers their “usual” orders on sight.

But as the mob works to cover their tracks, Amanda’s involvement with the police puts a target on her back. When robberies escalate to missing persons and murder, Lucielle and Olivia must work together before it’s too late for their favorite barista.

A wry, heartfelt, and unfiltered account of what happens when life throws you into the deep end armed with nothing but a to-do list, a sense of humor, and a stubborn streak.

When Nancy’s mother dies and her marriage implodes, she finds herself juggling single motherhood, a grieving father with a penchant for cigarettes and Cadillacs, and a family that accuses her of kidnapping their father.

With a voice that’s both hilarious and poignant, Sullivan invites you into the chaos of her family’s “Adventure”—a move from the gray Midwest to the unpredictable sunshine (and hurricanes) of Florida. Along the way, she wrangles siblings, navigates the minefield of caregiving for a parent with dementia, and tries to keep her kids, her sanity, and her father’s last Cadillac all in one piece.

Sullivan’s memoir is a love letter to resilience, packed with sharp observations, laugh-out-loud moments, and the kind of honesty that makes you feel like you’re sitting at her kitchen table, coffee in hand, commiserating over life’s messes. It’s for anyone who’s ever had to start over, care for a loved one, or just needed a reminder that even in the middle of disaster, there’s room for hope—and a good story.

Perfect for:
– Caregivers, single parents, and anyone facing life’s curveballs
– Readers who appreciate wit, candor, and a dash of irreverence
– Fans of memoirs that find the humor in heartbreak

The Last Cadillac proves that sometimes, the only way through is to laugh, cry, and keep moving forward.

“Captivating … Everything you could want in a travel memoir.”—Kirkus Reviews

After graduating from Stanford, Dan Wake was on track for a lucrative partnership at a big Washington law firm until he gave it all up to put adventure over career in 1985. It wasn’t the first time he’d rolled the dice to explore the world.

From hitchhiking in freewheeling Europe to riding buses through the Amazon jungle to roaming through Asia in the shadow of dictatorship, Wake embraced the unpredictability of the open road and developed a Forrest Gump-like knack for dropping into events making world headlines.

Whether he is charming his way through a royal jubilee in London, criss-crossing the Philippines during a bloody revolution, or simply finding remarkable people in remote places, Wake uses high adventure and keen humor to unveil the magic of unscripted travel before the internet changed the world. Eat the Wind vividly brings that enchantment alive and shows how it seduced a lifelong overachiever to risk his career for a chance to take the journey of a lifetime.
