Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice A Novel [electronic resource] : by Cosimano, Elle.aut; Dawe, Angela.nrt; cloudLibrary;
"[Angela] Dawe offers Cosimano's laugh-out-loud moments with just the right sparkle." —AudioFile on Finlay Donovan Is Killing It From New York Times bestseller Elle Cosimano comes Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice—the fiercely anticipated next installment in the beloved Finlay Donovan series. "Finlay Donovan is irresistible!"—Janet Evanovich Finlay Donovan and her nanny/partner-in-crime Vero are in sore need of a girls’ weekend away. They plan a trip to Atlantic City, but odds are—seeing as it’s actually a cover story to negotiate a deal with a dangerous loan shark, save Vero’s childhood crush Javi, and hunt down a stolen car—it won’t be all fun and games. When Finlay’s ex-husband Steven and her mother insist on tagging along too, Finlay and Vero suddenly have a few too many meddlesome passengers along for the ride. Within hours of arriving in their seedy casino hotel, it becomes clear their rescue mission is going to be a bust. Javi’s kidnapper, Marco, refuses to negotiate, demanding payment in full in exchange for Javi’s life. But that’s not all—he insists on knowing the whereabouts of his missing nephew, Ike, who mysteriously disappeared. Unable to confess what really happened to Ike, Finlay and Vero are forced to come up with a new plan: sleuth out the location of Javi and the Aston Martin, then steal them both back. But when they sneak into the loan shark’s suite to search for clues, they find more than they bargained for—Marco's already dead. They don’t have a clue who murdered him, only that they themselves have a very convincing motive. Then four members of the police department unexpectedly show up in town, also looking for Ike—and after Finlay's night with hot cop Nick at the police academy, he’s a little too eager to keep her close to his side. If Finlay can juggle a jealous ex-husband, two precocious kids, her mother’s marital issues, a decomposing loan shark, and find Vero’s missing boyfriend, she might get out of Atlantic City in one piece. But will she fold under the pressure and come clean about the things she’s done, or be forced to double down? A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books.

The queen of days / by Kelly, Greta,author.;
"For Balthazar and his family of thieves, stealing a statue during the annual celebration of the god Karanis was just a good bit of fun ... or a way to stick it to the governor who murdered his parents. And yeah, the small fortune in reward doesn't hurt--even if his boss also hired the mysterious Queen of Days to join the crew as "the weapon of last resort." Whatever that means. But Bal doesn't know the ceremony isn't simply empty words and dusty tradition; it's true magic. The kind of magic that rips open a portal for the god himself. Only the idol that Karanis planned on using for a body now lies broken at the Queen of Days' feet. And half of it is missing. With the aid of a lovable brawler, a society lady turned bomb maker, a disgraced soldier, and a time-eating demon, Bal must hunt down the missing half of the statue if he has any hope of earning his money, keeping his crew alive ... and perhaps even saving all of humanity. But as his journey sends him racing through the city--and across realities--he discovers that doing all this might just doom his home. The city be damned. It's time to kill a god."--Jacket flap.
