Five Star authors (and husband and wife Barbara and Max Allan Collins team up again on the novel Bombshell, about a star-crossed meeting between a man who held the fate of the world in his hand, and the woman who became America's most unlikely diplomat, in a history mystery that just might have happened. September 1959 — the height of the Cold War. As American school children "duck and cover" in classroom drills, Russian premier Nikita Khrushchev suddenly announces he wants to visit the United States. President Eisenhower, eager to defuse the mounting tension — and show the communist ruler the advantages of capitalism — agrees to the history-making trip. Khrushchev has only two demands: he wants to see Disneyland… and Marilyn Monroe. He was, for security reasons, refused his first request; the second request, a meeting with Hollywood's blonde bombshell, was arranged… This much is historical fact. According to the authors of Bombshell, “The events mat transpired on the cool autumn evening that Khrushchev met Marilyn were never reported by the media; only the CIA and KGB really knew what had happened during those early morning hours. Now, with recent government declassifications, the rest of the world can... and will... know." Marilyn, aware of an attempt to assassinate Khrushchev at the Beverly Hills Hotel, has only hours to convince Jack Harrigan—a stubborn State Department agent in charge of the premier—of the covert plot which would unquestionably launch the two superpowers into World War III. When Harrigan at first refuses to take her seriously, the sex goddess takes it upon herself to rescue the famous Russian, spiriting him away for a midnight visit to the theme park he longs to see. At once an historical novel, espionage thriller, and comic mystery, Bombshell accomplishes something few if any of the scores of books on these two icons of the 20th century manage: to bring to life the great movie star and the Russian dictator as real people... human, flawed, and, in their own individual ways, heroic.

In this third installment of Pearson's Sun Valley series, KILLER SUMMER takes us back to the high-stakes world of the wealthy and politically connected – just in time for the area's 17th Annual Wine Auction. The world's most elite wine connoisseurs have descended on Sun Valley to taste and bid on the world's best wines, including three bottles which are said to have been a gift from Thomas Jefferson to John Adams.

With sky-high prices all but guaranteed for these priceless items, it's no wonder a group of thieves is out to steal them. Sheriff Walt Fleming is responsible for all aspects of the auction, from security of the dignitaries to the physical safety of the auction site to the transportation and security of the rare wines themselves. When a bomb explodes just as the auction revs up, Walt is thrown headlong into the fray, investigating not just an explosion, but an even bigger heist planned by a criminal mastermind who will stop at nothing to gain his prize.
