Beschreibung

Anna Katharine Green's "The Detective Ebenezer Gryce Mysteries 'Äì Complete Collection: 11 Mystery Novels in One Volume" serves as a seminal contribution to the detective fiction genre. This compendium showcases Green'Äôs pioneering narrative techniques, including intricate plotting and psychological depth, which precede the works of later authors like Arthur Conan Doyle. The collection encapsulates the intellectual pursuits of Gryce, an astute detective characterized by his methodical approach to crime-solving, providing readers with a glimpse into the early portrayal of forensic investigation and the art of deduction. Green'Äôs prose embodies a Victorian elegance, enriched with atmospheric detail and social commentary that enhances the narratives'Äô complexity and gravity. Anna Katharine Green (1846-1935) was a trailblazer in the world of crime fiction and one of the first female detective novelists. Her literary career began amidst a societal backdrop that both limited and inspired women'Äôs roles. Green'Äôs personal experiences and keen observations of human nature influenced her writings, enabling her to intricately weave themes of morality and justice throughout her works. Her creation of Ebenezer Gryce not only revolutionized the detective archetype but also demonstrated her profound understanding of the methods of law enforcement. This complete collection is highly recommended for enthusiasts of mystery and crime fiction. Readers will appreciate the depth of character development and thematic exploration that Green offers, making it an essential read for those interested in the evolution of detective literature. Delve into the world of Ebenezer Gryce, where intellect reigns supreme and justice unfolds in the most unexpected ways.

    The New York Times–bestselling author of Devil's Bargain brings back two kick-ass female private investigators in a case of premonitions and peril. 
     
     
      
    While Jazz Callender is recuperating from nearly losing her life during their first case for the mysterious Cross Society, Lucia Garza hires a new investigator to their firm: none other than Ben McCarthy. The former Kansas City cop has finally been exonerated of murder, and just in time. Jazz and Lucia have received a new red letter. 
     
     
      
    But instead of instructions for a high-priority case, this missive contains nothing but a warning: "One of you has made a mistake." And it's on letterhead from the Cross Society's major adversary in a psychic war. With Ben filling them in on his past secretive dealings with the organization, Jazz and Lucia start to believe they may be in bed with the enemy, one that they've underestimated at their own peril . . .

    "Wayward Girls" is a portrait of brave sisterhood, infused with beauty and exquisite pain. Your heart will melt with every turn of the page." Laura Benedict, Edgar-nominated author of The Stranger Inside 
    "Wayward Girls delivers suspense, emotional depth, social commentary, and a gripping story. Grab a copy, a box of tissues, and the phone number of your oldest friend, because you're going to want to talk about this one after you turn the last page. It's a terrific book." Mary Anna Evans, author of the Faye Longchamp Mysteries 
    When late-night phone calls summon Jude Coleridge and Camille Prescott back to the Talbot Hall School for Girls, painful memories bombard them. Though estranged for years, both bear the physical and emotional scars from their youth. 
    At the boarding school, they were branded “the crazy girls, the ones who lie” and became unlikely best friends. They soon formed a trio with a new student, Wanda Ann, who pulled them into her bewildering relationship with the school psychologist, Dr. Hedstrom. But Wanda Ann’s wild stories masked a truth that threatened to engulf them all. 
    As teens, the girls could only rely on each other as they moved toward an unfathomable, fiery danger. Now, in the crumbling halls of Talbot, hours before the building’s demolition, they must grant forgiveness, to themselves and others, if they are to move forward.
