  There’s trouble afoot in Regency London’s Jewish community, and no one to stop the crimes—until wealthy-widower-turned-sleuth Mr. Ezra Melamed teams up with an unlikely pair: General Well’ngone and the Earl of Gravel Lane, the leaders of a gang of young Jewish pickpockets. 
  David Salomon, a young violinist and composer, has left New York to find fame and fortune in Regency London. But disaster strikes not long after he arrives. A mysterious rival composer is stealing his compositions and having them performed to great acclaim — and when David tries to protest that he is the music’s true creator, he becomes the laughingstock of the beau monde he had hoped to conquer. 
  With few friends and even fewer resources, the desperate Mr. Salomon turns to Ezra Melamed for help with discovering the identity of his shadowy foe. But the deeper Mr. Melamed looks into the violinist’s story the more jarring notes he finds, making The Doppelganger’s Dance one of the most discomposing mysteries of his career. 
  The Doppelganger’s Dance is the second book in the Jewish Regency Mystery series, a refreshingly different look at Regency England which combines lovably quirky characters with a generous dash of humor.

  In this seventh installment of the Jerry McNeal Series, Jerry and Gunter travel to Salem, Massachusetts to track down yet another victim of the Hash Mark Killer. 
  Finding a ghost in a city known for its haunted past isn’t hard – finding the precise spirit they are looking for proves to be slightly more difficult. Once discovered, they must begin the tricky task of convincing the woman she truly is dead. 
  If things aren’t challenging enough, Jerry’s intuition has him questioning his own personal safety as he and Gunter are now on Mario Fabel’s stomping grounds. 
  While Fabel has not threatened him, it doesn’t take special powers to know there is more to the man than meets the eye. 
  Will Jerry and his ghostly K-9 partner be able to slip in and out of the area undetected, or will the man with a reach deeper than his pockets find them and make Jerry an offer he cannot refuse?

With her farm on the line and the community turning against her, Daisy must work with her border collie, Biscuit, and a skeptical agricultural inspector to uncover the truth. She soon discovers the developer had more enemies than there are seeds in a sunflower, from struggling farmers facing foreclosure to hidden family connections and long-buried secrets about the town's founding. Can Daisy plow through the lies and uncover the real killer before the fairgrounds empty for good and her farm becomes just another plot for development?

  A man lies dead, a knife in his heart, and no one saw the killer—at least no one admits to it.
  In this classic mystery from Wilkie Collins, a young constable recounts a long-unsolved crime that haunts him still: a lodging house murder where the most obvious answers feel too neat, and justice remains out of reach. Between a silent staircase, a troubled cook, and a love that flickers beneath the surface, Who Killed Zebedee? draws us into a web of suspicion, memory, and moral reckoning.
  First published in 1881 and also known as The Policeman and the Cook, this tale blends psychological nuance with sharp suspense—hallmarks of Collins at his most compelling.
