Jim is wracked by grief, and though he hasn’t quit his job, he has stopped working. Rather than firing him, his bosses offer him a job at the FDA’s new international branch, located—for reasons he doesn’t quite understand—in Afghanistan.
As soon as Jim lands in the country, he knows he’s in over his head. He can’t deal with the heat, the altitude, or the constant danger—to say nothing of the fact that everyone he meets seems to be holding a gun. His job, as best he can figure it out, has something to do with the pharmaceutical potential of rare earth minerals recently discovered in the country, the kind that could make a lot of rich people even richer.
Jim soon realizes he’s walked into a game much bigger than he’s qualified to play, one of espionage, terrorism, and secrets that hit the upper echelons of the U.S. government.
A twisty and engaging thriller with an unlikely operative at its center.

Amanda Clarke thinks of herself as perfectly ordinary in every way. Just a small-town girl who serves breakfast all day in a little diner nestled next to the highway, nothing but dairy farms for miles around. She fits in there.
But then an old woman she never met dies, and Amanda was named in her will. Now Amanda packs a bag and heads to the big city, to Miss Zenobia Weekes’ Charm School for Exceptional Young Ladies. And it’s not in just any neighborhood. No, she finds herself on Summit Avenue in St. Paul, a street lined with gorgeous old houses, the former homes of lumber barons, railroad millionaires, even the writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. Why, Amanda can practically hear the jazz music still playing across the decades.
Scratch that. The music really, literally, still plays in the backyard of the charm school. Because the house stretches across time itself. Without a witch to protect this tear in the fabric of the world, anything can spill over. Like music.
Or like murder.
