Lou Manfredo's acclaimed debut novel, Rizzo's War, brought the streets of Brooklyn to life in a way that no New York City crime novel has before-full of the details, the sounds, the sights of walking a beat in Bensonhurst. Now in Rizzo's Fire, as twenty-year veteran Joe Rizzo edges closer to retirement, things only seem to get harder: having promised his wife he'd quit smoking, he's working the most baffling case of his career, with a new partner to boot.
Robert Lauria was practically a hermit, and was dead ten days before anyone found him. Fired from his job as a shoe salesman weeks ago, he rarely left his apartment and had no visitors except his cousin, who says she hardly knew him. So who strangled him late one night as he made tea in the kitchen in his pajamas? And could there be a connection to the headline-grabbing murder of a Broadway producer a day earlier? Rizzo and his new partner, Priscilla Jackson, carefully comb through the life of this forgotten man, even though the case has already been put on the back burner by their superiors. And what they find will surprise everyone.
Armed with more street smarts than the FBI agents assigned to the more glamorous case, Rizzo and his new partner Priscilla Jackson are tasked with navigating the twin labyrinths of the truth and NYPD politics in order to find the killer and bring him to justice.
It is 1891 in New Orleans, and young Typhus Morningstar cycles under the light of the half-moon to fulfill his calling, re-birthing aborted foetuses in the fecund waters of the Mississippi River. He cannot know that nearby, events are unfolding that will change his life forever – events that were set in motion by a Vodou curse gone wrong, forty years before he was born. In the humble home of Sicilian immigrants, a one-year-old boy has been possessed by a demon. His father dead, lynched by a mob, his distraught mother at her wits' end, this baby who yesterday could only crawl and gurgle is now walking, dancing, and talking – in a voice impossibly deep. The doctor has fled, and several men of the cloth have come and gone, including Typhus' father, warned off directly by the clear voice of his Savoir. A newspaper man, shamed by the part he played in inciting the lynch mob that cost this boy his father, appalled by what he sees, goes in search of help. Seven will be persuaded, will try to help…and all seven will be profoundly affected by what takes place in that one-room house that dark night. Not all will leave alive, and all will be irrevocably changed by this demonic struggle, and by the sound of the first notes blown of a new musical form: jazz.

To Ethan, Beth couldn't be less his type if her father ran the agency, which, oh yeah, her father does run the agency. Still he can't help but be impressed by her inspired work in the field-a total turn on. Off the field it's even better. Seems the old adage that opposites attract happens to agents too. Even if Beth insists it's just a fantasy. But hot pursuit of a notorious information broker is what they should focus on-not each other. That can wait until they've accomplished a job well done. Or can it?
Josie McCall has been raised to be a soldier, and she could be the best if she wanted it. Instead, she left her dad's mercenary school behind for a normal job in computers. But now that someone has torched the school and her dad is MIA from the hospital, Josie's going to use every bit of her merc training to find him and hunt down the culprits who took him. Josie knows a lot about explosives, hand to hand combat, and tracking. What she doesn't know about is sex. She has no idea what to do with the volcanic attraction she feels for her dad's new partner, Daniel Black Eagle. And that feels more dangerous than any bomb. Daniel knows exactly what he'd like to do about that attraction. The brooding explosives expert can't get within five feet of Josie without wanting to touch, taste and protect her even if he's sure she would happily drop kick him if she knew one sizzling moment of his fantasies. But he'll save it for later. Right now, he's got his hands full figuring out who set that bomb and took Josie's dad. Daniel's sure of one thing, though he's not letting Josie McCall out of his sight for a single second. Convincing the cutest, most desirable trained soldier he's ever met that she needs a bodyguard isn't going to be easy. But if she'll let him, he'll show her he's willing to do whatever it takes to keep her safe, and along the way, he'll make her feel every inch a woman.

Sobrevivir en una revista femenina puede ser una lucha a muerte. Sobre todo, cuando tu jefa es una tirana.
Vig Morgan por fin ha conseguido dejar de ser la ayudante de la dictatorial y repelente directora, solo para verse metida en un mar de conspiradores. Pero Vig no es como las demás editoras en la super cool Fashionista. Para empezar, a ella le da igual qué diseñador viste a las estrellas del momento. Es inteligente, astuta y tan ambiciosa como cualquier persona inteligente y mal pagada, pero nunca tomaría parte en un complot para defenestrar a su jefa. ¿O sí?
Salta con Vig a las turbulentas aguas -conspiraciones, puñaladas por la espalda, libertad de expresión, coqueteos y alta costura- a las que se enfrenta cuando decide unirse a un compló de lacayos que quieren cargarse a la abeja reina, con inesperados -pero no necesariamente decepcionantes- resultados.
Varias mujeres mueren decapitadas. Una de las víctimas es el ama de llaves de John Tonneman, un joven médico neoyorquino que en 1775 regresa a su ciudad para ocuparse de la consulta de su padre, recién fallecido. Para John, la mujer asesinada era más una madre que una criada, y dolido por su pérdida se vuelca con implacable determinación en la búsqueda de! criminal. Al revuelo ocasionado por las atrocidades del psicópata, se une la violencia social de un país al borde de una guerra por la independencia. En medio de ese caos, John hallará consuelo en el amor de una hermosa muchacha.
Aparece un cadáver en el principal depósito de agua potable de Nueva York. Corre el año 1808, y John Tonneman, ya sexagenario, empieza a plantearse la jubilación. Sin embargo el hallazgo de dicho cadáver y, posteriormente, de un cráneo enterrado treinta años atrás, junto con la súbita desaparición de su hijo mayor, arrastran a John a una nueva investigación.
