Siobhan Forrester, lead singer of Beneath the Blonde, has everything a girl could want - stunning body, great voice, brilliant career, loving boyfriend.

Now she has a stalker too.

She can cope with the midnight flower deliveries and nasty phone calls, but things really turn sour when intimidating turns to murder. Saz Martin, hired to seek out the stalker and protect Siobhan, embarks on a whirlwind investigation, travelling with the band from London to New Zealand with plenty of stop-overs. As jobs go, this one shouldn't be too hard, except Siobhan is economic with the truth and Saz isn't sure she wants to keep the relationship strictly business.

As if trying to keep Rebecca alive and on the air wasn't enough, Kit is beset by a clutch of other people's catastrophes that require her very particular skills to resolve. And since Kit is the gumshoe who can't say no, before she knows it, she is up to her eyes in the worst that Australia's criminal minds can throw her way. Money laundering, sordid sexual shenanigans, abduction, political sleaze, and murder among Melbourne's movers and shakers threaten to swamp Kit as she picks her way throug

h the morass of double-dealing, treachery, and outright greed. As if that's not enough, the beautiful and sexy Alex Casenove sweeps back into her life, reminding Kit that love is almost as deadly as hate and that murder never happens at a convenient time. The sequel to the highly acclaimed debut Blood Guilt, Bleeding Hearts is a tightly plotted romp through the dark underbelly of Australia's most cultured city, vibrantly demonstrating that even the heartless bleed.

Is Carol playing into a killer's plan?

A series of random deaths suddenly fall into a pattern when reclusive, eccentric billionaire Thurmond Rule dies, leaving an immense estate, but no valid will. With no close relatives -- Rule's son and only heir vanished mysteriously years before -- the search begins to find more distant kin who may have a claim to the Rule billions. And there would be several more applicants vying for the money, except for the disturbing fact that many of them have recently died or been killed.

Detective Inspector Carol Ashton speculates that one of the remaining would-be heirs could be responsible for thinning the field so drastically, but is baffled that a killer would draw such obvious attention to themselves. As the authorities contemplate protecting anyone with a blood link to Thurmond Rule, Carol fears she may be unwittingly shielding a killer and playing into a deadly plan.
