    Carrying out the last wishes of a comrade, mercenary Eric John Stark takes on the task of returning a stolen talisman to a walled city near the Martian pole; a city that guards the mysterious Gates of Death. Now all he has to do is get past the brutal clans of Mekh and the shadowy Lord Ciaran to get to Kushat where they’ll probably attempt to kill him. All while he tries to hold on to a talisman that imprints ancient memories of the Gates in his mind. That’s not easy for a human raised by Mercurian aborigines. - Black Amazon of Mars is the third story to feature Brackett’s hero Eric John Stark, and was later expanded into the novel People of the Talisman. It was first published in Planet Stories magazine in March of 1951. (Summary by Gregg Margarite)

    Candy MacCann, party animal! Said no one. Ever. Still, when one of Candy’s wealthiest classmates throws her annual Christmas party it’s just too good an invitation to pass up. Ivy’s guests are ready to paint the town red (and green!), and there’s sure to be gift-giving, egg-nogging, and a heated pool-party under the winter sky. The food?! Everyone knows the food at Ivy’s to-dos is to die for! And when a secretive band of armed strangers interrupts festivities, that outcome looms large for the girls of Waverleigh prep. 
    So, it’s not the party Candy wanted. 
    But she’s about to make the best of it. 
    Hard Candy is a bit like if Die Hard met 90210 at a Christmas party that went terribly sideways, when an entire prep-school class is taken hostage, leaving only 6 girls to save the day.

    Hogmanay at Fives Castle promises to be a lively affair. The Earl of Strathmerrick has gathered family, friends and political allies at his great Scottish home to see in the start of 1928, while his daughter Lady Gertrude has invited a few friends of her own, including Angela Marchmont. 
      
    But beneath the gaiety of the house-party, something far more serious is taking place. The Foreign Secretary, the American Ambassador and the Head of British Intelligence are awaiting the arrival of a foreign scientist carrying secrets of international importance. It's a matter of some delicacy, and they're anxious to keep it strictly confidential. 
      
    As the celebrations get underway, however, Angela senses a growing disquiet within the castle. The expected guest fails to appear, the snow falls ever more heavily, and the festivities take a sinister turn when a game of sardines leads to the discovery of a dead body. 
      
    Cut off from the outside world by a blizzard, the guests at Fives Castle soon realize that one of their number is both a spy and a murderer, and before long suspicion falls upon Angela herself… 
      
    A classic 1920s mystery, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers and traditional British whodunits.

    Bunting. Fairground rides. Music... Murder. What more could you want from a garden party? 
    Alice Carroll is happily settled in the Cotswold village of Little Pride, running her beloved Curiosity Shop and cautiously planning the next chapter with her partner, Robert. So when Robert buys the neighbouring Cold Bottom estate, Alice offers to help him win over its eccentric residents by reviving the village’s once-loved summer garden party. 
    But between grumbling fairground workers, gloomy villagers and a downpour that would dampen anyone’s bunting, the day doesn’t quite go to plan. 
    Then a guest stumbles into the marquee – and he’s dead before his body hits the ground. 
    Can Alice untangle old rivalries and strange secrets to find the killer? Or will Cold Bottom’s fresh start end in another funeral.

    Keyana Armstrong 
    After a failed six–year relationship, the idea of commitment and marriage is unwelcome, and dating is the furthest thing on my mind. I’ve spent months hidden in the solitude that my position as a head librarian provides. All was going well until he walked in, shattering the quiet solace of the house of books I thrive in, causing my body to tingle in unimaginable ways. He has an unfiltered tongue and is hellbent on breaking the chains barricading my splintered heart. 
    Tyshawn Carrington 
    Once one of the best safeties in the league, my life took an unexpected turn after a career–ending injury. I didn’t have a backup plan because I never saw myself leaving the game so soon. All I know is the game of football. At the urging of my parents, I returned to the place that has always grounded me—my hometown. Boredom led me to an unlikely place—the public library. Nothing could have prepared me for the moment I entered the building and saw her. The jolt she gave to my system may give my life new meaning after all. 
    Can the slick–talking former safety and the reserved librarian find common ground? Or will their differences keep them on opposite sides of the field?
