But murder ... well maybe …Doreen’s success at solving murders has hit the newswires across the country, but all Doreen wants is to be left alone. She has antiques to get to the auction house and a relationship with Corporal Mack Moreau to work out, not to mention a new friendship to nurture with Penny, Doreen’s first friend in Kelowna, and Doreen doesn’t want to ruin things.But when a surprise accusation won’t leave Doreen alone—about Penny’s late husband George’s death and made by one of the men Doreen helped put away—she thinks that maybe it can’t hurt to just take a quick look into her new friend’s past.Before Doreen knows it, she’s juggling a cold case, a closed case, and a possible mercy killing … along with cultivating her relationships with Penny, Mack, and Doreen’s pets: Mugs, the basset hound; Goliath, the Maine coon cat, and Thaddeus, the far-too-talkative African gray parrot.

He heads off to Oxford University for a semester to get hooked up to brain scans and learn Korean for a chance at an honorary degree. But is being a smart person something Jeff has time for right now? Heck no. Hot on the trail of A.S.P. now, Jeff leaves England headed for Egypt and then ... well, we wouldn't want to spoil the story now, would we? Will Jeff have the guts to uncover everything? And once it's all out in the open, will he be able to get past the Dallas Cowboys to save the world? Can he patch it up with May Daisy Cook? The Stetson Jeff Adventures reaches a final climax. Will Jeff be able to fulfill his wildest dreams, while coming to terms with the thing that shames him most? If you're thinking that somehow we would do that to you, turn a great modern American tall tale with a true hero (none of this antihero stuff for us) into a tragedy, you probably need to go sit in the corner for a few minutes and think again, partner.

  Biting wit and lush descriptions combine in this striking new edition of Oscar Wilde’s short story collection, which contains Wilde’s most famous story, “The Canterville Ghost.” Originally published in 1887 in the British literary magazine, The Court and Society Review. “Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime: A Study of Duty” headlines this anthology, first published in 1891. In addition to the title work, Wilde added “The Canterville Ghost,” “The Model Millionaire,” and “The Sphinx Without a Secret.” Editions dated after 1900 (including this one) also contain “The Portrait of Mr. W. H.”   In the 132 years since the publication of this collection, numerous actors, writers, and even musicians wrote adaptations of “The Canterville Ghost,” the most popular of the stories in this volume. But those adaptations also made significant changes in the plot.   Now with a foreword by Hugo-award nominee Paul Di Filippo, go back to the original. Read “The Canterville Ghost,” and the other stories as Oscar Wilde wrote them.
