A priceless Egyptian vase disappears in front of six witnesses. And, of course, the thief.... It's there, then poof, it's gone. The ink is barely dry on snake-lover Phoebe Smith and Susie Homemaker Westen Hughes’ licenses. Their bank accounts are bursting from their previous windfall, yet they’re anxious to get back to work. Then the call comes. During the unveiling of a local college’s exhibit, the vase worth $1.75 million disappears in front of seven people. Smith and Westen dodge threats and physical attacks by the suspects.

Take $2 million in bank securities and a bank manager who moonlights as a magician. Blend well, then add: a nagging shrew of a wife, a high-maintenance daughter in debt up to her ears, a talk show host who foots too many of the family bills, a theater producer who's never around when people need him, and it's clear Gabe Heinz has two million reasons to disappear. He is in the middle of his vanishing act on stage when he does just that - vanish before a sell-out crowd, along with $2 million in securities from the bank where he's vice president.

A Picasso disappears en route from Chicago to New Hampshire. While the truck is moving. The multi-million dollar painting is there, then it’s not. It’s gone, but it can’t be.

Having just turned 65, officially, in the eyes of the government, I am an elderly person. The events in this book took place over one year’s time - 1/65th - of my life. A minuscule period in those terms. But that nanosecond of time changed my entire life.

Angie Deacon was the last to see Nolan Little alive. Which makes her a prime suspect in his death. Sure, he was gruff and insensitive. Treated his wife like dirt. But besides Valerie, why would any of the five strangers on board want him dead? None of them knew him before today. Or did they? Police detective Colby Jarvis storms the boat determined to unveil the killer before they get back to shore. What a feather in the widower's cap that would be. He falls hook, line, and sinker at his first sight of Angie, but she is married and off limits.

In 1979, Ian Merryweather's biggest dream is to be sheriff of a small town, but a disabling wound in Vietnam sidelines him. While he's on the mend, his best friend Chief Clement Baker is murdered, and Ian inherits the job. His first inclination is to refuse the position. He feels guilty getting the cherished position this way. But who else will dedicate himself to finding the killer? Especially when the State Police have taken the chief's son Barney into custody, and there's a killer on the loose. And what about the lovely Lucy? She deserves so much more than sly womanizer Eric Bremer.

When strange voices fill the air, what do you do? RUN? Moving into our new home with my beautiful wife Cindy and daughter Naomi, we never expected our lives to change. I started noticing weird things, but I didn't tell my wife. Was I going crazy? Why were things with my family not good? Why weren't my prayers answered? I prayed to God for help. One day, while I was checking downstairs, my wife heard a voice in our room say, 'Hey, buddy.' It wasn't in her head; she heard it out loud. What would YOU do in my place?
