The Unquiet

Settle in for five startling tales of uncanny suspense and disquieting romance—including an In Death story featuring Lieutenant Eve Dallas from #1 New York Times bestselling author J. D. Robb. 

Eve and Rourke return to investigate the murders of a series of luckless indigents—and the strange connection to a brilliant young surgeon in J. D. Robb's "Chaos in Death." 

In Mary Blayney's "Her Greatest Pleasure," a shopkeeper's solitude is complicated by a magic coin, a daring rogue, and dreams of her late husband, who whispers but one word...wish.

A lonely woman and a hotline psychic turn their astonishing connection to the other side into an unexpected romance in Patricia Gaffney's "Dear One." 

The shattered soul of an angry spirit imprisoned in a Scottish manor house could be a young widow's only salvation in Ruth Ryan Langan's "The Unforgiven." 

And in Mary Kay McComas's "His Brother's Keeper," a young ghost eases his brother's pain and guilt by inviting him into the dreams of an imaginative author of children's books.
