Summary
'Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire, I hold with those that favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate to say that ice is also great, and would suffice.'
Cooper and Albert go to Illinois to investigate a series of motor vehicle accidents. Instead of evidence, they find an abandoned town, encroaching ice, a shrouded figure creeping ever closer, and possibly the entropy death of the universe. Also known as a typical Blue Rose case.

“Why?!”
“Because I need to save you!”
Or: Shane finally gets possessed by a demon and it's not as fun as anyone wants it to be.

Summary
Aldo has never really been one to think much about penance.
“We honor God in a multitude of ways,” he’d told Thomas once. “I agree that discomfort is useful. We learn to turn away from our sins and commit to do better. I don't understand what mutilating yourself in His name is meant to accomplish. We were not put in this world to suffer, Thomas."
Thomas had been quiet for a long time. "It is a different thing, though," he'd said finally. "You will agree on that much at least. Self-harm is a sin. Self-flagellation has a place in doctrine."
Aldo had winced. "Next thing you'll tell me is you've joined Opus Dei. You don’t think confession is enough? Prayer?”
“I think mortification of the flesh has its place,” he’d said absently, eyes faraway.
“Does it serve a purpose, though, apart from hurting you? Does senseless pain really bring you any closer to Him?”
Thomas had barely flinched. Aldo had felt possessed by the urge to grab his jaw and direct him forward, look at me, look!
“We must repent, Aldo,” he’d said simply. "By whatever means necessary."
He’s always thought Thomas did enough repentance as it was for the two of them. He thinks he understands better now.

Summary
When is a restaurant not a restaurant?
When it’s the Fett Clan’s front out of which they run their smuggling business.
Exhausted middle school teacher and opinionated freelance columnist Obi-Wan doesn’t know that when he walks in. He just wants to sit, eat and return to his empty apartment filled with too many memories.
What he also doesn’t know is that meeting Cody Fett will change his life forever, making it decidedly less lonely—and perhaps, perhaps, the enigmatic man and his crazy family help get Obi-Wan the justice he’s long given up on.

Summary
The man who had rented the room before him had also been a PI, and so Detective Shane Madej’s door still read CC TINSLEY & ASSOCIATES, PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS in peeling gold letters.
Along with the door, he’d inherited Tinsley’s desk, his reputation, and one badly-lit corridor’s worth of neighbors. These included a disreputable tattooist, an off-book accountant and, of course, The Mystic Oracle: Spirit Connexions and Communications.
LA, 1927 – Shane’s a jaded Private Eye. Ryan’s a two-bit Spiritualist. Together, they’re going to solve a murder.
