Sinossi

In her comprehensive anthology, "ANNA KATHERINE GREEN Ultimate Collection," Anna Katharine Green masterfully weaves together the intricate plots and compelling characters of her most celebrated works, including the Amelia Butterworth series and the Detective Ebenezer Gryce mysteries. Renowned for her pioneering contributions to the mystery genre, Green employs a keen eye for detail and a sophisticated narrative style that blends deductive reasoning with rich character development. The collection not only showcases her procedural acumen in crime fiction but also reflects the evolving societal norms of Victorian America, exploring themes of justice, morality, and the complexities of human nature across diverse narratives. Anna Katharine Green, often hailed as the Mother of the Detective Novel, emerged in a literary landscape dominated by male writers. Her groundbreaking integration of female protagonists and her emphasis on psychological depth in crime-solving can be traced to her own experiences as a New York socialite who sought to navigate a male-dominated world. Green's innovative approach influenced many future writers in the genre and established her as a catalyst for the representation of women in literature. This ultimate collection is essential for any reader who appreciates the foundations of detective fiction or seeks to understand the transformative role of women in literature.

Buried in the Market - Harvest...

Bruce Kaler MD

The produce market throughout history remains a carnival of characters and occasional chaos. First, it operates at night from midnight through the dawn hours, winding down midafternoon. The upside-down cycle of activity is out of sync with the rest of life’s reality. Under the glare of lights shrouded by darkness, the loud banter and frenetic atmosphere is further embellished by the products and the people. The latter cast of characters are so diverse and sometimes unbelievable, that it defies easy description. The working crew alone is a treasure trove of humanity each with a compelling story of hardship, struggle, heartache, sadness, comical joy and even dark humor. Mingled and mixed among them, in the shadows, are the insidious elements of organized crime, mystery and intrigue.

A Quarter Past Love

Corinne Arrowood

Rainie Todd was a hot mess, the poster child for dysfunction; however, from the outside, she appeared beautiful, successful, and together. The last thing she wanted was a relationship. She’d been there and done that, and it didn’t end well. Dr. Michael Landry was a nice guy, someone to date as a friend for great dinners and the occasional cocktail party. He certainly didn’t give off any vibes that ignited her sexually, but he was a good friend; that was until the night of his company party when he turned up the heat, revealing a side of him she’d never seen, and she lusted with intrigue. He was perhaps the most sexually stimulating man she’d ever met. The icing on the cake- he was in love with her from the first time they met. 
The relationship hinged on the truths behind their dark secrets. Rainie opened up to Michael about her ex-husband’s wanton affairs and how it had pushed her off the rails onto a twisted path of drugs, alcohol, and reckless behavior. One wrong decision after another landed her in the midst of a cartel drug operation, endangering everyone she loved. Of all her secrets, the one she held closest to her heart was Rand-her deceased twin, who still lived on from beyond the grave. Michael opened his heart, embraced her past challenges, and confided in his need for ultimate control and a past predilection for BDSM. Once they revealed their pasts, the doors opened for steamy interludes and a deep, forever kind of love.
