Murder Outside Oxford

"Murder Outside Oxford: A Caleigh O'Neill Story" is the fifth and last (?) book in the Caleigh O'Neill Series and tells the story of the final battle between Caleigh's new but dodgy family and the Zoris, a Bulgarian human trafficking ring.
Caleigh's husband Anton's campaign to recreate his image into that of a charitable Ukrainian oligarch with ties to the European aristocracy is tested when an old friend's daughter, Katrina Popov, is kidnapped off the streets of Oxford by the Zori crime family. Anton's men rescue her and bring her back to his mansion, where they are forced to lock her up again because the Zoris brainwashed Katrina into believing that Anton is the head of their human trafficking ring, making her a poison pill if she ever talks to the police. Katrina is kept in a beautiful room, where her jailers treat her kindly, even spoil her. But posh or not, prison is still prison.

To ensure Katrina's loyalty, Anton orders one of his associates, Marko, to seduce her, making him both her lover and her jailer. But Katrina isn't just a victim; she grew up in Kyiv and is a street fighter disguised as a show pony.

Caleigh becomes Katrina's guide into Anton's shadowy world of murky morality and unimaginable wealth, where a woman's status is determined both by how many baubles she can buy and how many bodies she can bag.

Book One of the series, "Murder at the Top of the Stairs," tells the story of a four-car-pileup between the insulated worlds of New York society, Texas royalty, a Bulgarian crime family, and various law enforcement agencies with differing levels of competency.

In Book Two, "Murder in Mallorca," Caleigh is in Barcelona, Spain, in a world of minor Spanish royalty, sex clubs, and human trafficking (as advertised in the travel brochures).

In Book Three, "Murder in the Leeward Islands," Caleigh returns to Barcelona, planning to reunite with her new husband, Anton Dubec, when her family kidnaps her and sends her to a remote island in the Caribbean where they intend to keep her, the way families do when little rich girls behave badly, until she agrees to divorce her husband.

In Book Four, "Murder in Windsor," Caleigh has reunited with Anton, her on-again-off-again husband, and they are hosting a party in their mansion on the outskirts of Windsor in honor of Alia and Maksym's wedding. Anton is now officially a tech billionaire and has secured his position in the top echelons of European society by marrying Caleigh. The good times are merrily rolling along when a gang of Bulgarian mobsters kidnaps Maria, Alia's doppelganger and maid of honor.
