Corpses Say The Darndest Things: The death of a beloved Chicago televangelist’s wife is only the beginning; someone is homiciding their way through the Temple of Majesty Church. And private eye Nod Blake has been dumped in the middle of it all, on his head. The resulting injuries seem to have opened a door to the hereafter: Blake believes dead people are talking to him. But are the victims really begging the gumshoe for help from the other side of the grave? When his nemesis, Detective Lieutenant Wenders, finds evidence that Blake is the murderer, the private dick's life becomes a great big soup sandwich.

Steel And Shadows: After losing his family, former British Special Forces agent John Steel arrives in New York determined to locate the person captured in a photograph. NYPD detective Samantha McCall is investigating a triple homicide when Steel offers his assistance in tracking down the perpetrator.
