Mit dem bizarren Mord an einem Gemeindepfarrer in einem New Yorker Bondage-Club beginnt Nikki Heats bislang aufregendster und gefährlichster Fall. Sie bekommt es mit New Yorks bösartigstem Drogenbaron, einem arroganten CIA-Mitarbeiter sowie einer geheimnisvollen Todesschwadron, die sie erledigen will, zu tun. Und das ist nur die Spitze eines Eisbergs, die zu einer dunklen Verschwörung führt, die bis in die höchsten Ebenen des NYPD reicht.
Doch als sie der Wahrheit zu nah kommt, fällt Nikki plötzlich in Ungnade, verliert ihre Marke und muss sich allein den Mördern stellen, die es auf sie abgesehen haben. Sie kann niemandem mehr vertrauen. Außer vielleicht dem einzigen Mann in ihrem Leben, der kein Polizist ist: der Reporter Jameson Rook.
Mitten in New Yorks kältestem Winter seit hundert Jahren ist Nikki fest entschlossen zu beweisen, dass man sie nicht so leicht erledigen kann.
When Molly shows up on Castle Hangnail's doorstep to fill the vacancy for a wicked witch, the castle's minions are understandably dubious. After all, she is twelve years old, barely five feet tall, and quite polite. (The minions are used to tall, demanding evil sorceresses with razor-sharp cheekbones.) But the castle desperately needs a master or else the Board of Magic will decommission it, leaving all the minions without the home they love. So when Molly assures them that she is quite wicked indeed (So wicked! Really wicked!) and begins completing the tasks required by the Board of Magic for approval, everyone feels hopeful. Unfortunately, it turns out that Molly has quite a few secrets, including the biggest one of all: that she isn't who she says she is.

It's 1951, and twelve-year-old Pete Collison is a regular kid in Brooklyn, New York, who loves Sam Spade detective books and radio crime dramas. But when an FBI agent shows up at Pete's doorstep, accusing Pete's father of being a Communist, Pete is caught in a real-life mystery. Could there really be Commies in Pete's family? As Pete follows the quickly accumulating clues, he begins to wonder if the truth could put his family's livelihood--and even their freedom--at risk. In the tradition of "Who Was That Masked Man, Anyway?, Don't You Know There's a War On?, "and "Nothing But the Truth, Catch You Later, Traitor" tells a funny, insightful story packed with realistic period detail of a boy in mid-twentieth-century America whose family is caught in the wide net of America's Red Scare.
