Veronica Tracey, the sharp-witted former spy turned PI, is enlisted by an Australian intelligence officer to assist in the search for a vanished cryptographer in Cat Connor's "Lure the Lie," leading to a high-stakes pursuit full of twists and turns. Australian intelligence officer, Dave Crocker, is tasked with finding a missing cryptographer in New Zealand. His boss suggested he work with a local private investigator, Veronica Tracey. Peeling back layers of lies to find the truth in the missing person case, Crocker never expected it would involve Tracey’s 94-year-old Nana and her cronies, an unusual greyhound, and a closely guarded skill set. “The home where our woman was spotted happens to be the same one that houses my Nana and the Cronies of Doom.” “The Cronies of what?” “Doom. The Cronies of Doom. Nana’s little circle of friends. Think Nancy Drew and her friends, but older than dirt.” I wasn’t sure whether to smile or cringe. MacKinnon did say Ronnie was a colourful character. “Is that going to be a problem?” Ronnie nodded while saying, “No, not at all. How could a ninety-four-year-old woman be any trouble?” “The only lead so far is the one involving your Nana?” “Correct.”

In "Nothing Happens Here," Veronica Tracey, a resourceful former spy turned PI, uses her uncanny ability to track down the most elusive targets, taking readers on a thrilling ride. “I’m looking for a private investigator. I have lost something.” Not someone? “My speciality is people and I’ve been known to find the occasional lost dog.” “How about garden ornaments?” “Pardon?” I could feel a frown puckering the skin on my forehead and worked hard to dislodge it. “I’ve lost some garden ornaments.” “That’s not something I’ve ever been asked to find before. What type of ornaments?” “Gnomes,” he said with a straight face. “Gnomes? Are you serious?” Veronica Tracy PI has quite a bit on her plate, on any given day: her 94-year-old Nana and the Cronies of Doom, her cousin and his interesting love life, a retired greyhound, a new and successful private investigation company, and a crazy person following her. She juggles life with a sense of humour and the enduring knowledge that everything is temporary. This book is written in New Zealand English and set in Upper Hutt, New Zealand.

A bombshell in the newspaper causes Veronica Tracey to scramble for a plan to deal with potential fallout. Then out of the blue, she steps into a minefield created by her Nana and her on-again off-again boyfriend Ben Reynolds. The blast radius touches all aspects of her life permanently changing the trajectory. Before Ronnie can fully process that stunner she gets word from Genesis that Ben is missing while working an intelligence gig. Finding Ben proves challenging even with her special skill set. With lies and half-truths mounting up, an illegal arms deal, incoming bad actors, and surprising revelations, life seemingly spins out of control. Concurrently, Crockett grapples with a request to shield an old friend from the CIA and FBI, presenting both a challenge and an unforeseen advantage for the team. The convergence of all factors sets fires that the team aren’t sure they can extinguish as they hurtle ever closer to the brink of world war.

Ronnie Tracey's world is turned upside down when a missing intelligence officer contacts her, triggering a nail-biting chain of events in Cat Connor's Spy/PI thriller "Leave a Message.” In Upper Hutt, New Zealand (a smallish city in the Wellington Region) there is a private investigation agency called, Wherefore Art Thou, with a reputation for excellence. The agency is run by Veronica (Ronnie) Tracey and her two best friends: Steph and Jenn. Domestic cases keep their lights on and door open, but the extracurricular activities Ronnie performs for various intelligence agencies makes sure they have all the latest tech and a healthy bank balance. Former intelligence officer, Ronnie Tracey, specialises in finding people. Australian intelligence officer, Dave (Crockett) Crocker, is skilled at making problems disappear. American intelligence officer, and actor, Ben Reynolds’ strength, is in gathering intelligence. All three are drawn into a potential crisis by a single-word message. Exodus. The message takes them off the grid and drops them into a situation involving a missing New Zealand Army intelligence officer, and the sudden death of Crockett’s boss. The circumstances surrounding the missing officer, and the death, test their collective expertise and propels them down a treacherous path that no one would expect to navigate on New Zealand soil. Meanwhile, Ronnie’s Nana, and the Cronies of Doom, have plans of their own and the potential for overlap and disaster is high.

Hold onto your seats for the ultimate high-stakes mission! In [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot], two spies and a private eye - otherwise known as Ronnie, Ben, and Crockett - are on a mission to protect a social media influencer with her own agenda. As they race against the clock to keep her safe until her crucial court testimony, tensions run high when Ronnies cousin Donald insists that their neighbours are in grave danger. Crockett, Ben, and Ronnie reluctantly accept an off-book mission from the Australians. They’re tasked with protecting a young social media influencer with an exceptional memory and to escort her safely to court to testify. Crockett has an extra job on his list; he’s supposed to recruit the woman for his intelligence agency but he’s not sure that is wise, or that the woman will be able to transition from ‘social media influencer’ to a career within the intelligence community. The more time they spend with ‘Alex the influencer’ the less she seems suited to anything except taking selfies and tantrums. The more time they spend with ‘Alex the influencer’ the more they suspect something is off about Alex. If that isn’t enough, Ronnie’s cousin Donald suspects something dreadful has happened to their neighbours and manages to drag Nana and the Cronies of Doom into his conspiracy theory, despite Ronnie’s many misgivings. Meanwhile, the team navigates through dangerous situations arising from an unknown number of assailants, raising the stakes with each passing moment. Will they be able to protect Alex and uncover the truth before it's too late?
