Duplicity / by Thoft, Ingrid,author.;
"Gutsy Boston P.I. Fina Ludlow returns with a case that puts her faith to the test--in the latest addition to the critically acclaimed series by Ingrid Thoft. When Ceci Renard hires Ludlow and Associates to sue the hip new church that she believes has brainwashed her daughter, Fina Ludlow is assigned to the case. Covenant Rising Church has all the trappings of a less-than-holy organization: a slick young pastor and his comely wife; fancy houses and luxury cars; and devoted congregants who seem eager to part with their money. Fina wonders if Ceci disapproves of Covenant Rising's theology or the pastor's ability to solicit generous donations--until a prominent church member dies unexpectedly. Fina's investigation requires her to delve into the woman's life--both in and out of Covenant Rising--and ask a host of difficult questions. Is the pastor leading his flock astray? Did the church have a hand in the death or were there less savory elements in the woman's life outside the parish? The case proves to be a complicated morass of misplaced loyalties and questionable motivations, rivaled only by the current state of the Ludlow family. The return of eldest brother Rand sets in motion an explosive showdown that threatens the very fabric that holds the family together, forcing Fina to confront the true meaning of faith"--

Friends helping friends : a novel / by Hoffman, Patrick(Private investigator),author.;
"An exhilarating thriller about two best friends facing white nationalists on one side and dirty cops on the other-written with Patrick Hoffman's "crisp pace and superb timing" (Wall Street Journal). Bunny Simpson grew up in a hard-scrabble family in Grand Junction. Now in his early twenties living in Denver, he's stuck at a dead-end job and behind on his rent. His best friend, Jerry LeClair, feels similarly trapped in a life of dim prospects and small-time drug dealing. Enter Helen McCalla, an attorney with an axe to grind against her ex-husband, who happens to be a judge in the local court. She offers the boys a deal: beat the guy up, and she'll pay them some money. It's simple, just friends helping friends, right? Part crime novel, part portrait of working-class middle America, celebrated novelist Patrick Hoffman takes us on a tour of Denver's underbelly: its courts, jails, criminals, and dirty cops. Bunny never wanted any trouble. So how the hell did he end up at a white supremacist compound in rural Colorado? Tragic, scary, and at times hilarious, Friends Helping Friends is a study of the way generational trauma endures, an exploration of the vulnerability of our destinies-and an epic tale of how friendship can survive it all"--
