'Jonah's Luck' is a mystery novel written by Fergus Hume. It revolves around a man named Herries, who sees himself as having the same bad luck as the Biblical figure Jonah. He had always been Jonah the unlucky, and Jonah he would remain, so far as his limited vision could see, until the end of his life, in his eyes. Throughout five and twenty years of existence he had suffered nothing but trouble. Everything went wrong with him. This new disaster was all of a piece with the rest of the pattern, that was being woven,--against his will, it would seem--on the looms of life. He wondered, with a sigh, why God permitted so many troubles to befall him, since he could see no good reason for their coming to him so persistently. Then out of sheer desire to do something, he searched his pockets for the remains of his poor fortune.

A woman uploads her DNA online, searching for her father—but the man who contacts her is Detective Chief Inspector Jonah Sheens. From the acclaimed author of Little Sister, this endlessly twisty crime novel asks: What might a family do to protect or expose a serial killer in its midst? When the police found the first body, left on a bonfire in the forest, they worried it had the hallmarks of a serial killer. Now, as they find the second, they know for sure. Panic about the “Bonfire Killer” quickly spreads through the sedate suburban area of Southampton. Women are urged not to travel alone at night, and constant vigilance is encouraged among the local residents. But single mom Aisling Cooley has a lot to distract her: two beloved teenage sons and a quest to find her long-lost father, whom she hasn’t seen since she was a teenager. After much debate, she decides to upload her DNA to an ancestry website. When she gets a match she is filled with an anxious excitement that her questions about her father’s disappearance from her life might finally be answered. But to her horror, it’s not her father who’s found her. It’s a detective. And they say her DNA is a close match for the Bonfire Killer. . . .

The team may have severed Kaylyn's connection with the entity at the Teague Hotel for the time being, but their lives are left in shambles. Jonah is forced to take medical leave. Cole's relationship with her fiancé is crumbling under the weight of her paranormal career choice. And Kaylyn's lingering connection to the other side—particularly Jonah's dead mother—leaves her with far more questions than she has time to deal with. But the paranormal doesn't take a vacation, and the team is thrown into a whole new investigation when an unseen force threatens a local family in their own home. When their first night in the home turns up nothing, Kaylyn discovers that her mysterious connection to the other side might be the only way to find answers—if only she can find a way to explain her "hunches" to the rest of the team. But communication from beyond the divide isn't always what it seems, adding a whole new layer of mystery and confusion as the sisters try to decipher which threats are deadly and which are simply unanswered pleas for attention.

A beautiful spirit woman and a hardened drifter embark on a perilous quest for gold. And in this spellbinding novel of romance and adventure from bestselling author Sandra Chastain, they discover the rarest gem of all: true love. He first comes to her in a dream, taking the form of a sleek and tawny cougar with the power to protect her. So when Raven Alexander awakes to find herself lying beside the rugged stranger, she isn’t afraid. He may be an unruly cowboy with a checkered past, but Raven knows that he was sent to help her find the sacred Araphao treasure. Yet soon she finds herself caught between duty to her people and the longings of her heart. As a rule, Tucker Farrell doesn’t trust anyone, especially not women, and especially not a woman like Raven who believes in spirit guides and animal power—no matter how enticing she looks in her buckskin dress. Raven thinks he can lead her to a treasure he knows nothing about . . . but she’s not the only one. With bloodthirsty bandits on their trail, Tucker has no choice but to take this wise, wild woman’s life into his hands—and put his heart in hers. Includes an excerpt from another Loveswept title.
