Beschreibung

A Pot of Caviare is a rare Doyle tale of international intrigue and romance. Set against the backdrop of pre-war Europe, it follows an English gentleman who becomes ensnared in a dangerous espionage caper while attending an elegant continental gathering. What begins as a lighthearted society adventure – symbolized by the indulgence in a pot of caviar – soon turns into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse when secret documents disappear. Doyle ratchets up the tension as identities are unmasked and loyalties tested amid champagne and masquerades. This drama, which Doyle later adapted as a one-act play, combines witty social observation with suspenseful plotting. As a short novella, A Pot of Caviare gives readers a taste of Doyle's capability in the thriller genre: a blend of charm, romance, and espionage that predates the spy fiction boom of the mid-20th century.

    It’s lonely at the top. And deadly at the bottom. 
    Sexual harassment isn’t the type of case Private Investigator Winter Black usually takes. But it’s a welcome distraction from whoever’s been sending creepy, anonymous text messages to her phone and set up cameras to spy on her home and office. And after her new client reveals that one of her female coworkers hanged herself after fending off their boss’s sexual advances, Winter suspects there’s more to the story. 
    When another woman disappears, she’s certain. 
    Posing as an employee, Winter sets her sights on uncovering the truth at the climbing equipment company, starting with the powerful and well-connected boss who seems intent on showing her the ropes—in more ways than one. But when an employee's body is discovered at the bottom of a gorge, strangled by self-tightening rock-climbing knots, it's clear there’s a killer on the loose, and he knows exactly what he’s doing. And his victims aren’t random. 
    With employees dropping like flies, Winter must uncover the madman behind the murders before she becomes the next victim caught in the killer’s web. 
    The mystery and suspense continue with Winter’s Peak, the fifth book in the Winter Black Season Two series, a gripping thriller that will tie you up in knots. If you give someone enough rope, they’ll eventually hang themselves. Or you.
