Steiner is accompanied by his assistant and his sexy young wife, but he has another reason for the visit: to re-connect with the woman who left him 25 years ago to marry another man. That woman was a young, beautiful, naive, internationally known super-model. Today Eliza Winters is no longer young, and definitely not naive, but she is still beautiful and married to Trafalgar City Police Sergeant John Winters.\n\nWhen Steiner is found shot in his luxury hotel room, suspicion falls upon Eliza who had, inexplicably, visited Steiner there. John Winters is forced into the most difficult of dilemmas: loyalty to his job or to his wife. As the RCMP dig into secrets hidden by both Steiner and Eliza, Winters slowly comes to realize that he doesn't know his beloved wife as well as he thought.\n\nMeanwhile, Constable Molly Smith has her own troubles. A series of break-ins has the peaceful town in an uproar, her overprotective boyfriend from the Royal Mounted Police is fighting with her colleagues, and a vengeful stalker is watching her every move. When tragedy strikes at the heart of her own family, Molly can't even turn to her mother for help.","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48243336118508,"sku":"9781590587904","price":45.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781590587904-negative-image-1.jpg?v=1787983736"},{"product_id":"under-cold-stone-by-vicki-delany-9781464202353","title":"Under Cold Stone","description":"A weekend getaway to the Rocky Mountains.

And why would you return?\n\nWalter Desmond is back in Trafalgar, British Columbia, having been officially exonerated when new evidence showed corruption at worst, incompetence at best, by the Trafalgar City Police running the investigation. His pitbull attorney is seeking five million in damages from the provincial government. But Walt has not returned to Trafalgar to pursue money or revenge. He just wants to know the why of it.\n\nThe family of the murdered girl, Sophia D'Angelo, is bitterly determined to see Walt returned to prison-or dead. But for Trafalgar's police, including Sergeant John Winters and Constable Molly Smith, the reality is: if Walter didn't kill Sophia, someone else did.\n\nSo, case reopened. It lands on Winters' desk. The records are moldering. One investigating officer is dead, the other is retired-and not talking. The police force are instructed to treat Walt as if he'd never been arrested or convicted. Someone else apparently killed Sophia, someone still walking free.\n\nBut too many minds remain closed. It's good luck for Walt that a group of women in town for the dragon boat race are staying in the B\u0026amp;B where he's booked-women with no local prejudices. But when a townswoman and a boat woman are attacked by a rapist, the media gets active, and tempers dangerously flare.","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48244801700076,"sku":"9781464205156","price":45.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781464205156-unreasonable-doubt-1.jpg?v=1788015551"},{"product_id":"winter-of-secrets-by-vicki-delany-9781590587812","title":"Winter of Secrets","description":"Siblings Wendy and Jason Wyatt-Yarmouth and their friends have come to the peaceful mountain town of Trafalgar, B.C. to enjoy a two-week vacation of skiing, drinking, drugs, and sex.
