Beschreibung

The Greatest Works of Anna Katharine Green is a compendium that showcases the pioneering contributions of Green to the mystery and detective fiction genres. Her literary style is marked by intricate plotting, meticulous attention to detail, and strong character development, intertwining gothic elements with a keen sense of social commentary relevant to the Victorian and Gilded Ages. This collection includes Green's most acclaimed works, such as "The Leavenworth Case" and "The Sword of Damocles," offering readers a profound insight into the origins of modern detective fiction and the evolution of narrative techniques that have influenced countless authors who followed. Anna Katharine Green (1846-1935) was a trailblazer in a predominantly male literary field, deeply inspired by her legal and scholarly background. Her experiences as a woman in a rapidly changing society fueled her narratives, often centering around themes of justice, morality, and the complexity of human nature. Through her works, Green sought to challenge the norms of her time, emphasizing the intellectual capabilities of women and the intricacies of the social fabric. I wholeheartedly recommend The Greatest Works of Anna Katharine Green to readers who appreciate layered storytelling and historical context in their literature. This collection not only illuminates the early days of the detective genre but also serves as an engaging exploration of human psychology and moral dilemmas, making it a quintessential read for both enthusiasts and scholars alike.

    No one's who they seem in the thrilling new Nick and Nora Mystery, and someone's playing the part of a clever killer . . . 
     
     
     
    When a nighttime soap opera comes to town to film an episode, no one's more excited than Nora Charles, who's landed the contract for catering the shoot. But if she thought the show's plotlines were full of drama and intrigue, that's nothing compared to what she witnesses among the cast and crew. With half of them sneaking off for secret liaisons one minute and at each other's throats the next, it's all a titillating behind-the-scenes look for Nora—until she stumbles across the body of the show's slain director. 
     
     
     
    It's not long before the local authorities finger the brother of Nora's good friend for the evil deed, and it's up to Nora and her sidekick Nick to get him off the hook. As she begins to sort out the cast's romantic entanglements and professional rivalries looking for a motive, she also discovers that the victim was involved in the mysterious death of the show's previous director. And then another member of the crew is found murdered, and Nora knows she'll have to act fast to figure out who's playing the part of the killer, before she's cast in the role of the next victim . . .

    One small handwritten letter, sent from a distant corner of the planet and lost in the system for sixty years … is about to change the entire human race. 
      
    Outside Denver, Colorado, Joe Rickards stands over a small aircraft wreckage, studying burnt remains still smoldering in a field of freshly fallen snow … an investigator for the NTSB, working to carefully roll back the last several hours and identify the cause of the accident. 
      
    But this time, he can't. 
      
    The details behind this tragedy don't add up. Unlike every other investigation of Joe's career, the facts make no sense. Each new piece of information only makes the accident more mysterious, and more baffling. 
      
    Why would a person receive an age-old letter and suddenly disappear into the thick of night … paying to be flown out of a closed airport in the worst possible weather conditions, by a pilot who hadn't had his hand on the stick in years? 
      
    With the only surviving relative insisting her grandfather would never have climbed into a small airplane in the first place, even in perfect weather. 
      
    A bizarre string of events culminating in a horrible accident unlike anything Rickards has experienced. Leaving his only hope at understanding it in the hands of the victim's sole remaining relative. Beginning with how a mysterious letter could turn up after being lost in the system for sixty years. Sent by someone who should have already been long dead. 
      
    A single letter, Joe Rickards is about to discover, with a secret that will change the entire world.

    In the Arizona wilderness, up against a fanatical group hell-bent on creating a dirty bomb, Kaine needs more than luck to rescue Sabrina. And he could do without the trigger-happy local law enforcement speeding to the scene. 
     
     
     
    With so many lives riding on a successful outcome, Kaine is at his limit, when things take a desperate turn for the worst.
