One Last Shot by Susan May Warren

Oaken Fox has one last shot at redeeming his career.  His manager has arranged for him to join an air rescue group in Alaska for a series of real live TV. He's not thrilled with the idea.

Boo Kingston is an EMT with Air Rescue and she has been assigned with teaching Oaken the ropes. She wants nothing to do with him or the TV show.  But if she wants to keep her job she'll have to go along with it.

Right off the bat there is an almost fatal accident.  After several other incidents, it becomes apparent that the accidents are not really accidents at all.

Oaken and Boo both have to overcome some very serious issues in this story.  Boo was shamed on national TV and Oaken feels responsible for his sisters death.  This  was a very good story and I recommend it.

While the City Sleeps by Elizabeth Camden

Elizabeth is a dentist at the turn of the century in New York City.  One of her patients starts rattling while under the gas she used to numb the pain.  When bombs start going off in New York City, she realizes that her patient was stating where the bombs would be set.  Jonathan is a police officer that has been escorting Elizabeth home since she has been working the late shift.  She tells Jonathan about her patient and her suspensions.  As he looks into it, he is dismayed by what he finds.  It could unravel a deep secret he has been hiding.  As Elizabeth and Jonathon try to find out who is responsible for the bombs, there are attempts on their lives.  

I recommend this book for all mystery lovers.
