A disgraced intel officer anxious to redeem herself after a disastrous mission, January Holte vows to uncover the identity of a traitor who is selling her agency’s secrets. The few clues she’s found have led her to a sleepy river town: Lethey, Texas—and to Bill Connors, the one man who might know the truth.

July Whitlock, a rookie bodyguard, searches for his one and only client, who has suddenly disappeared. He follows a trail to Lethey to find his missing protectee—Bill Connors.

But Bill’s friends and enemies in Lethey have secrets of their own. And as January and July ask questions no one wants to answer, they find a tangled web of murder, greed, and ambition—one that will kill anyone who tries to unravel its mysteries.

Kathleen Donnelly: Deadly Revenge

Website: https://kathleendonnelly.com/

There’s nothing more terrifying than a trail of smoke over a summer-dry national forest—at least, that’s what Forest Service law enforcement officer Maya Thompson thinks when she and her boyfriend, sheriff’s deputy Josh Colten, spot the first signs of a fire over the Colorado mountains.

But when she learns that a teen girl has been kidnapped and taken deep into the wilderness, a new fear grips her: If she and her K-9 partner, Juniper, can’t reach them fast enough, the fire might not just destroy her beloved forest—it might be the end to an innocent girl’s life.

Sometimes the longest journey isn't across a continent—it's the one that leads you back to yourself.

When grief becomes too heavy to carry, some people go home. Others run. This week, author Tess Perko joins On the Air with Florenza to discuss her moving debut novel, Learning to Whistle. After losing her mother to breast cancer, Leonie chooses the unfamiliar streets of South America over the familiarity of home, hoping distance will quiet her pain. Instead, she discovers that healing has its own itinerary. Through breathtaking landscapes, unexpected friendships, and moments of quiet self-discovery, Learning to Whistle reminds us that sometimes getting lost is the very thing that helps us find ourselves.

The Devil’s Kitchen is the first Johnson and Nance Mystery and Mark Thielman dishes about the clickbait that inspired this series, cool secrets he’s learned while exploring America’s National Parks, how his work as a prosecutor shaped his lead character, and how he mapped out the wildest road trip I’ve encountered in fiction all year!
