Beschreibung

Before Hercule Poirot or Sherlock Holmes, there was the eccentric, enigmatic "Old Man in the Corner" — a detective unlike any other. In The Case of Miss Elliott, Baroness Orczy presents a brilliant collection of mysteries unraveled not through chase or violence, but through razor-sharp logic, observation, and deduction. Sitting quietly in a London teashop, the nameless sleuth pieces together baffling cases of crime and deception that have left the police baffled. Each tale showcases Orczy's mastery of intrigue, where appearances deceive, motives twist, and the truth emerges only under the old man's piercing gaze. Perfect for lovers of clever puzzles and atmospheric Victorian mystery, this collection proves why Orczy remains a cornerstone in the evolution of detective fiction.

    Death is only the beginning. 
    Shadow Island is a wreck. Buildings lay in rubble, construction crews swarm the island, and the aftermath of the Yacht Club Massacre has left many dead. But at least Sheriff Rebecca West put an end to the violence against young girls by dismantling the elite men’s club. 
    Or so she thought. 
    When a teenage girl is found stabbed and half-buried in a makeshift grave at the local cemetery, her arms carved with occult symbols, whispers of dark rituals and black magic spread through the community. The victim’s friends insist she died from the legendary witch’s curse. But when a second girl is violently murdered, Rebecca fears a far more sinister—and human—threat. 
    Unfortunately, the witch’s curse isn’t the only myth refusing to stay buried. And the teen’s corpse only scratches the surface of the horrors lurking beneath the cemetery. 
    Shadow’s Fate, the bewitching sixteenth installment of the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes, is a testament that there are, indeed, fates worse than death.

    The "master of . . . cerebral puzzle mysteries" sends his Yorkshire detectives back to college to be taught a lesson in murder (The New York Times). 
     
     
      
    Reginald Hill "raised the classical British mystery to new heights" when he introduced pugnacious Yorkshire Det. Inspector Andrew Dalziel and his partner, the callow Sgt. Peter Pascoe (The New York Times Book Review). Their chafing differences in education, manners, technique, and temperament made them "the most remarkable duo in the annals of crime fiction" (Toronto Star). The Gold Dagger Award–winning series was adapted into a long-running hit show for the BBC. 
     
     
      
    If Alison Girling, former principal of England's Holm Coultram College, died in an avalanche in Austria, why has her skeleton been unearthed on campus? While no love is lost between conservative detective Andrew Dalziel and the entirety of Liberal Arts, his attention to the grim discovery must be paid. But when he and Peter Pascoe scour the ivory tower for answers, they discover that the shady faculty and creepy student body have more to bury than just one corpse. Try two—and counting. As Pascoe is sidelined by an old college flame, Dalziel's suspicions of academia are becoming dire. Because the deeper he digs for secrets, the dirtier they get in this "steadily, edgily amusing . . . dark comedy" (Kirkus Reviews).

    Holmes receives an odd letter that makes reference to vampires. Mr. Robert Ferguson, who comes to 221B Baker Street the next morning, has become convinced that his Peruvian second wife has been sucking their baby son's blood. By his first wife, he has a 15-year-old son named Jack, who suffered an unfortunate accident as a child and now, although he can still walk, does not have full use of his legs. Since the start of the bloodsucking, Jack has unaccountably been struck twice by his stepmother, although Mr. Ferguson cannot imagine why. Ever since being found out by her husband, she has locked herself in her room and refused to come out. Only her Peruvian maid, Dolores, is allowed in. She takes Mrs. Ferguson her meals. 
    Even before Holmes and Watson set off for Mr. Ferguson's house in Sussex, Holmes has worked out what is going on, and it has nothing to do with vampires. Holmes's trip is made simply to observe and confirm what he has already deduced.

    Mixing Mystery and Romance in a Fizzy 1930s Cocktail! 
    A missing masterpiece. A Nazi conspiracy. A European escape turned deadly. 
    Clive and Henrietta Howard’s return to Europe takes a dangerous turn when Inspector John Hartle recruits them to find a missing panel from the famous Ghent Altarpiece. Nazi agents are also hunting for this Renaissance treasure, believing it contains a coded map to ancient weapons of unimaginable power. 
    Their search leads to Château du Freudeneck in Alsace, ancestral home of Henrietta’s eccentric Von Harmon relatives. But when Nazi officers arrive at the remote château seeking a “valuable item,” what began as an art recovery mission becomes a deadly game of cat and mouse through the treacherous French countryside. 
    Meanwhile in Chicago, Elsie faces an impossible choice when a mysterious couple threatens to take little Anna away, while Julia, trapped in a troubled marriage, finds unexpected hope in a charming Texas rancher who wants more than just a painting from the Howard collection. 
    As danger closes in from all sides and family secrets surface, Clive and Henrietta must decide who they can trust in a world where nothing is as it seems. But in their race to keep the panel from Nazi hands, will they discover they’ve been playing the wrong game all along?
