Valuable memorabilia and movie props—including a movie weapon Michael Biehn owns—are disappearing, and Zack and the corgis are tasked with finding and recovering the priceless items. Meanwhile, Zack and Jillian are settling into their new over-the-top home, she with her extensive library and he with a game room and home theater that’s the dream of every guy on the planet.

Zack and Jillian rush home from their previous case at the distressing news that her kitchen shop, Cookbook Nook, has been broken into and ransacked. It’s a puzzle indeed, when it appears the only thing the thief took were some tubs of ice cream from the café section of the store. Luckily, her security cameras caught the thief in the act. Now they just have to locate him. But things get complicated when the thief is found murdered. And so is his next of kin, and that’s when the police pretty much hit a dead end. Two jurisdictions are involved—it’s Pomme Valley versus Medford. A bet takes place between the two police chiefs, as each races to put their best detectives on the case to figure out why anyone would steal very specific flavors of ice cream, leaving others behind. More ice cream stores are targeted, and the stakes ramp up. Sherlock and Watson and Zack are on the case (for the Pomme Valley team, of course). Zack has a lot riding on the hope that the dogs can spot enough clues to put the whole story together. Readers are loving these indomitable dog sleuths.

The invading pirates from Perz have set their sights on a new goal in Lentari, capturing the dwarven Narian Power Hammer, which promises supreme physical strength and longevity to its owner. But trekking through the enormous underground cavern system that the dwarves call home does not come naturally to men of the sea, and Captain Flinn has his hands full, keeping his crew in line as they search for the elusive magical hammer. Flinn has one thing going for him, the Alchos Stone, which can make his men, his ship and himself invisible. The thing that will work against him, however, is that he’s being tracked by Steve and Sarah Miller and their Lentarian allies, the dragons. Can the Millers catch up with Flinn and his men before they find the Hammer, create massive destruction, and escape? And can they retrieve the powerful Fang of the Red Oskorlisk, which Flinn has already stolen, the talisman that gives the dragons their power, before the pirates break away and take to the sea again?

It’s a lazy summer day in Coeur d’Alene when Steve and Sarah Miller get a visit from one of the most powerful ancients in Lentari. Something is dreadfully wrong and only they can solve it. But what the problem is, Eion cannot explain. They must go, and soon! They arrive to find nothing the same as they left it, a few months earlier. Alliances between dragons and humans, between dwarfs and others … none of those exist now. None of their friends exist. The king and queen are two people the Millers have never heard of, and the entire kingdom is not prospering as it once did. As more and more mysteries unfold, the terrifying truth occurs to them. Someone has altered the past in order to change the present. And Steve and Sarah have a pretty good idea who that is. They will need to find and confront an old foe who nearly killed Sarah, and they must find a way to undo the harm he created. How will they stop him—this time permanently?

Now they are determined to find the second of the powerful Alchos Stones, and the Millers and their team must stop them. The search leads to an overgrown pyramid-shaped stone temple in heavy forest, where they must first find their way inside, and then unravel a series of clues through various levels to collect the coveted stone.
