Detective Kate Rosetti Mystery

When a young woman turns up dead along the Mississippi River, rising-star Detective Kate Rosetti quickly realizes it's the work of a notorious cross-country serial killer. To complicate matters, Kate's troublemaking sister turns up out of the blue in need of a place to live, a strikingly handsome FBI agent appears at the crime scene, convinced this case belongs to him, and a certain British billionaire is a little too interested in the murder...and Kate. As she begins to close in on the killer, the investigation takes a turn for the personal. It's one riddle after the next, and if Kate can't sort out the murderer's identity before his next kill, she'll be up next on the autopsy table.

Detective Kate Rosetti is not a big fan of February 14th. Even worse than gigantic bouquets of roses and buckets of chocolate, however, are the love notes she's been receiving from infamous serial killer Ramone Wilkes, the man who very nearly stole her life. When she finds out that he's escaped from prison, she knows the chances are good that he's making his way north to the streets of St. Paul to finish the job he started two years ago. Capturing Ramone "The Dentist" Wilkes during his first killing spree was no breeze, and this time, luck might not be on her side...

When a well-known mobster turns up dead-gunned down in the refrigerator at her favorite local restaurant-Detective Rosetti has no choice but to get involved. Unfortunately, it's not long before a familiar name emerges as a suspect, making this case her most personal one yet. The infamous Angelo Rosetti, Kate's father, is back. Along with her new case, Kate is forced to balance a cozy weekend with her (almost) boyfriend as she dives deep into the Rosetti family history. However, when romantic dinners turn into stakeouts, her burgeoning relationship stumbles onto shaky ground. If Kate can't find a way to lock up the hitman who has turned his sights on her, it's not only her love life that's on the line...

Summer in the Twin Cities is hard to beat, and Detective Kate Rosetti is excited to show FBI Agent Jack Russo a nice, relaxing time while he's back in town. Unfortunately, her plans go belly up when Tommy "Two-Toed" Bianchi is found floating face down in Kate's favorite lake. To complicate matters, Alastair Gem turns up with a brand-new girlfriend...which is all fine and dandy until his girlfriend goes missing. Gem begs the already-strapped-for-time detective for help, and Kate can't refuse. One murderer, one kidnapper, and one boyfriend are a lot for the detective to handle. But if Kate doesn't focus on finding the killer before time runs out, she'll be the next victim in his deadly spree...

When Detective Kate Rosetti is handed her latest case-a dead body covered in leaves along the side of the road-there's something peculiar about it: a broken heart is carved into the man's arm. It seems to be a foreboding warning that love can be deadly. The deeper Kate gets into the investigation, the more she's forced to face love and murder like never before. Her personal life becomes equally as complicated. A shocking wedding invitation arrives in the mail. Jack Russo is putting pressure on Kate about taking the next step in their relationship. A new cop is hired on at the precinct. But when every love story in Kate's newest case seems to end tragically, how can she believe in happily ever after?

When Detective Kate Rosetti is startled awake in the middle of the night by a phone call from her mother, she knows it's not good news. It turns out Kate's father, the notorious Angelo Rosetti, is missing. There are no witnesses and no leads, and with only a week to go before Christmas, Kate hopes to find her father before the New Year. As Kate begins the hunt for her father, she gets another case added to her plate at the precinct. A local man is gunned down in front of the neighborhood co-op. The fact that he was shot five times points to a story darker than that of a happily married suburban husband. Kate dives headfirst into both cases, determined to wrap them up before the Christmas holiday. However, when too many coincidences begin to reveal themselves, Kate worries the story may be more twisted than she could ever imagine.

When Kate Rosetti returns from a rare week of vacation in Hawaii, she finds herself immediately immersed in a case more complicated than any she's faced before. A man's body has been stuffed into the back of an ice-cream truck, and it seems like everyone, including his three girlfriends, had a reason to kill him. But when the case blows up into a bigger sensation than Kate could ever have anticipated, she finds herself forced to work side by side with her ex-boyfriend, FBI Agent Jack Russo...and his very new, very attractive female partner. As Kate closes in on a murderer who is quickly racking up a tally of bodies, she realizes she must catch this killer or someone she loves might be dead next.

When Detective Kate Rosetti is called to the scene of a gruesome murder on the morning of Valentine's Day, she's hardly surprised. After all, it seems love just isn't in the cards for her. Fortunately, she has a new case to throw herself into headfirst. This time it isn't just any dead body; this time it's personal, and she stands to lose everything. However, solving a murder is never as easy as it sounds, and neither is Kate's love life. As she dives deeper into the investigation involving a man who played a pivotal role in her family's past, her future is getting all sorts of blurry. A certain billionaire seems intent on keeping her close. A former flame isn't completely out of the picture. So, what's a girl to do when the new case she's working suddenly puts the lives of the people she loves in danger?

As spring rolls around in the Twin Cities, Kate uncovers a baffling new case. A millionaire recluse has been found with a spear through his heart-dead on his own private island. Detective Rosetti is called in to peel back the layers of the most unusual homicide she's seen yet. To add fuel to the fire, Kate's ex-boyfriend now occupies the desk next to her. It's a little hard to focus on her burgeoning relationship with one handsome billionaire when remnants of her past are visible at every turn. When the case, and her relationship with the two men in her life, all come to a head at an exclusive resort in northern Minnesota, Kate realizes she's going to have to choose her path forward, and fast. At the rate bodies are dropping around Detective Rosetti, she knows it's only a matter of time before she's next...

Kate Rosetti is supposed to be taking the week off. After all, she's the maid of honor in her sister's wedding, and Jane Rosetti will kill her if she's too busy chasing a murderer to participate in the long-anticipated nuptials. Unfortunately, the police chief has news for Kate. When a severed hand shows up in a box at the precinct and a local jewelry store is robbed, Kate is called in to help investigate a not-quite-homicide. But with such a high-profile diamond heist combined with random body parts appearing ad nauseum, this case is unlike anything the department has seen before. Kate is up against the clock on this investigation. She's got to this situation tied up in a nice bow before her sister walks down the aisle-and before more appendages start turning up in grisly packaging. Add to that the fact that Kate's dancing on the cusp of a relationship with her not-quite-boyfriend and feeling like she's going to need to make a decision, one way or another...or risk losing him forever. Can Kate make it to the wedding, commit to Alastair Gem, and catch a killer, or has she finally stacked too much onto her plate?

When a dead body rolls off the bed of a truck, directly in front of Kate Rosetti on a busy highway, the homicide detective starts to wonder if she's cursed. Dead bodies have a way of following her around, and this guy definitely wasn't killed by accident. Before she knows it, Detective Rosetti is sucked into an investigation before it's even called in to the precinct-a record, even for her. To make matters worse, Kate's sort-of boyfriend was driving at the time, and now he's also invested in the murder investigation. What starts off as a simple homicide case, however, quickly morphs into something bigger, something darker, something that could get someone seriously hurt-or worse. A murder, a little girl's kidnapping, a convoluted business venture-if Kate and her team can't wrap up this case quickly, she fears it's going to get worse before it gets better.

Detective Kate Rosetti is at the top of her career. She's catching bad guys, thwarting crooks, and putting murderers behind bars. Not to mention, she's finally in a committed relationship with her billionaire boyfriend. Kate's next case is sure to be edgy and dangerous, filled with media attention… and located at a nursing home? When a family friend is found dead in his bed, an autopsy is ordered, and lo and behold-the cause of his death wasn't so natural after all. At the same time, Jack Russo is knee-deep in a huge federal case that's bled into the Twin Cities. When he asks Kate for help, she's reluctant because it will not only put her in danger, but Alastair Gem as well. As the two cases wind their way to dangerous conclusions, Kate needs to put handcuffs on the men, or women, responsible before it's too late. Otherwise, she won't be the only one getting hurt: she could lose the people she loves the most.

It might be Halloween, but that doesn't mean it's all fun and games for Detective Kate Rosetti. First, a man arrives at the precinct, willing to speak to nobody but Kate. When this curious stranger confesses to a very unique murder, Kate is prepared to arrest him except for one problem. . . There is no body. There are no witnesses. In fact, there's no evidence a crime has been committed at all. Is this the start to a deadly disaster. . . or one man's attempt to play a disturbing game? As Kate works to unravel the mystery behind one man's curious confession, she's drawn into a funeral that quickly turns suspicious. With two cases heating up, and her love life not far behind, can the detective manage to balance it all-or is a happy ending for Kate forever out of reach?
