Summary

A motley crew of characters deftly woven into a brilliant mashup of the spy novel and the art-world parody.
  We know how Simone met the man who will become, for a time, her fourth husband. We know what she does (artist), her friends (a veritable menagerie), her habits (frustrated homebody). What remains to learn are the things she still doesn't fully understand herself, like her role in the affair of the Port Merveille diamond.  The Supreme Orchestra  is many things at once: a geopolitical thriller, an art-world exposé, a digressive social study, a mischievous parody.
Available since: 10/16/2018.
Print length: 220 pages.

A young man named Williams (the narrator) moves into the Inn and tries to befriend the old man and get him to share his knowledge. It is revealed that the man is Lord Northam of England. Williams' attempts are largely rebuked until one day, Williams acquires a copy of the Necronomicon, the book of the dead that captures the minds of so many intrigued by the dark arts...

    ⛸️ The annual Frostfall Festival in the picturesque town of Silver Lake is a beloved tradition, centered around the town's charming outdoor ice rink. But the festive atmosphere freezes over when the rink's owner—a former Olympic skater with a sharp tongue and even sharper rivals—is found dead on the ice after the opening ceremony. The cause: a fatal blow to the head, disguised to look like a tragic skating accident. The prime suspect is the victim's former protégé, now a local coach, who had very public reasons to want her mentor out of the way. To clear her name, she must lace up her investigative skates and navigate a world of cutthroat competition, hidden resentments, and glittering secrets. With help from her enthusiastic husky, Glacier, and the rink's handsome head Zamboni driver, she uncovers a slippery trail of clues. From sabotaged skates and blackmail to a long-buried scandal that someone will kill to keep frozen in the past, the truth is buried just beneath the surface. Can she solve the case before the ice melts and the killer slips away forever?
