Come and play in India ...
In Cyprus Village, Oregon, a serial arsonist holds the residents hostage. Too afraid to leave their homes or fall asleep at night, citizens are frantic for a swift end to the crimes that threaten their tourism, properties, livelihoods, and lives. With the advent of a long, dry summer, Lieutenant Carolyn Latham desperately strives to capture an elusive criminal who is always one step ahead of the law. Across the globe, in isolated and impoverished Indian villages, people struggle to cope with the woes befalling them: illness, drought, crushing debt. Panchayats, assemblies of wise elders, are held to address the mounting fears of the community. The elders use the methods they know best to rout out what they believe to be witches in their midst. When Carolyn receives a series of terrifying e-mails detailing unthinkable abominations in India, she recognizes the deft, diabolical hand of a persistent and ruthless nemesis. His invitation, to come and play in India, may be impossible to resist. 
The Learning Chair ...
She was drawing on a pad of paper with a bright red crayon. She didn't look up, didn't smile. Today's lesson was on the single chalkboard, the printing modeled after the beautifully formed, rounded letters that strung across a cardboard choo-choo train alphabet. A cheery touch to an otherwise spartan space. It wasn't much of a classroom. Subterranean, for one thing. And devoid of the raucous clamor and music and gleeful giggles that permeated most schools. This classroom held only one student. She was tied to a chair. And the chair was bolted to the floor. *** Seven-year-old Abby Merrick has gone missing from her apartment in Cypress Village, Oregon, and it becomes Lieutenant Carolyn Latham's mission to find the little girl who is quickly learning the penalty for not being an apt pupil.

Journey into the CyberDark ...
Yoshitomo Tagawa never leaves his room. He lives in reverse, sleeping during the day, and staying up at night, connected to a technological world of on-line games, chat rooms and cybersex. Yoshi, like over one million of Japan's youth, is hikikomori, completely withdrawn from society. When a cunning predator uses the far-reaching tentacles of the Internet to compel the depressed and disillusioned into forming suicide pacts, Yoshi should be safe.
Lieutenant Carolyn Latham races to a hellish scene in a hill high above Cypress Village, Oregon. Four teenagers are dead and Carolyn learns that together, they decided to "catch the bus," with a little inspiration from the Monitor, who claims to want to end their suffering.
The investigation leads Carolyn into a shadow world, where no one is what they seem and imposters lurk everywhere. She must unmask the Monitor before he unleashes more unspeakable evil; she realizes that the deeply troubled Yoshi may hold the key to the Monitor's identity. But Yoshi has disappeared and the Monitor is closer than Carolyn thinks.

Death is just a phone call away.
"Hello, lover."
"You're not her. You're not Opal."
The True Gentleman burns up the telephone lines searching for the woman who has seen through to his soul. But Opal has left the phone sex trade, her identity a closely guarded secret. Elusiveness is not a quality her admirer prizes, and in his relentless pursuit of his perfect mate, the caller reveals he is no gentleman and soon, the Oregon backwoods become a dumping ground for dismembered body parts.
While hiking, Paige Rowan discovers a human foot, still wearing a distinctive toe ring, a ring Paige recognizes. She conceals her true connection to the victim from the police and her new lover, an ex-seminarian.
Later, when a human skeleton is found on Paige's property, she is terrified. The police are stymied--the bones belong not to a phone actress, but a young man. A complex web of events threatens to topple the life that Paige has struggled to build.
A breakaway religious sect, the obsessive search for Opal, and too many secrets and lies collide in a gripping finale set against a rugged landscape that will be forever changed.
