  Wyatt needs a job. 
   
  A bank job would be nice, or a security van hold-up. As long as he doesn’t have to work with cocky idiots and strung-out meth-heads like the Pepper brothers. That’s the sort of miscalculation that buys you the wrong kind of time. 
   
  So he contacts a man who in the past put him on the right kind of heist. And finds himself in Noosa, stealing a painting for Hannah Sten. 
   
  He knows how it’s done: case the premises, set up escape routes and failsafes, get in and get out with the goods unrecognised. Make a good plan; back it up with another. And be very, very careful. 
   
  But who is his client? Who else wants that painting? 
   
  Sometimes, being very careful is not enough. 
   
  ‘For the connoisseur of crime the Wyatt series represents Disher at his stylish best…wicked and wonderful. Welcome back, Wyatt.’ – Sydney Morning Herald

  Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
   
  In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
   
  The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
   
  Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
   
  In this volume our authors lead us through that most popular of genres – The Murder Mystery.  Tracking down the killer and the motive is examined by such masters as Robert Louis Stevenson, H G Wells, Susan Glaspell, Ryūnosuke Akutagawa and many others with twists of fate, deductions of ingenuity, and literary brilliance.

  The critically acclaimed, internationally bestselling Declan Walsh series continues... 
   
  "Anti-Aging doesn't mean Anti-Dying..." 
   
  In the cutthroat world of biohacking, where the quest to reverse aging teeters on the edge of madness, the line between success and disaster is razor-thin. Stephen Kline, a powerful sponsor of the Rejuvenation Royale Tournament, is found dead in his cryotherapy chamber—a brutal murder that sends shockwaves through the elite competition. 
   
  As DCI Declan Walsh and his team delve into the high-stakes world of biohacking, they uncover a labyrinth of cutting-edge science, where competitors push the boundaries of biology and technology in their quest to cheat time. This is a realm where DNA is rewritten, bodies are optimized, and death is merely an obstacle to overcome—for those who can afford it. But beneath the glossy surface lies a dangerous game of ambition, betrayal, and lethal rivalries, where the price of success is a two million dollar prize, and the price of failure is everything. 
   
  With each new body, the stakes climb higher, revealing a killer who’s always one step ahead. In this deadly contest, Walsh must navigate a world where biohacked bodies and AI-driven schemes are weapons, and time is running out. But in this ruthless game, survival means outsmarting the competition—or becoming the next victim...

  🍗 Southern cook and family restaurant owner Gravy Jones is preparing for her small town's annual Thanksgiving potluck when the meal's most demanding guest—a notorious food critic threatening to expose family recipes—is found dead in her kitchen, a ladle of suspicious giblet gravy spilled across his notepad. The police suspect a kitchen accident, but Gravy notices the giblets have been deliberately substituted and the victim's tasting notes contain coded symbols about recipe theft. With her family's restaurant reputation on the line and Thanksgiving dinner in jeopardy, Gravy must simmer through the suspects to save her grandmother's legacy. Assisted by her kitchen staff and the handsome food historian analyzing traditional cooking methods, Gravy uncovers a scheme involving recipe espionage, ingredient substitution, and a plot to commercialize family secrets. From suspicious gizzard textures that reveal improper cleaning to herb combinations that don't match her family's century-old recipe, every spoonful tells a story. But when Gravy discovers the victim was systematically collecting small-town family recipes to sell to a corporate food chain, she realizes the killer is protecting culinary heritage richer than any gravy. With the Thanksgiving feast hours away and the real recipe thief still stirring up trouble, Gravy must thicken the plot before her family's traditions get permanently watered down.
