Synopsis

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.

    Mounted: Book 5 in the Agent Rawlings Series of FBI Thrillers. 
    When a package containing macabre photos of four dead women is mailed to a Louisville newspaper, the Manassas FBI office is called upon. Agents Hank Rawlings and Beth Harper are immediately dispatched to the scene. 
    The man responsible for the murders, along with horrific acts upon the remains, has referred to himself as The Sportsman. A letter included with the photos pledges more killings to come. 
    In Louisville, Hank and Beth work diligently to track down every hint of a lead. However, with each new piece of evidence uncovered, the investigation only raises more questions—questions they simply don't have answers to. 
    For the killer, the dead women, as well as his tinkering with their remains, was merely preparation for a larger goal—something he'd promised someone years before.

    In this sophisticated novel of suspense, a killer with a taste for literature lurks in the shadows of Oxford University . . . After a student is found decapitated in the cupola of the Sheldonian Theatre and a cryptic note in an unknown language is discovered, DS Kate Stewart and her partner turn to medievalist Dr. Jonathan Reynolds. He identifies the note as a passage from Beowulf and explains that the murder replicates a killing in the epic poem. Then a second, equally grisly murder escalates the situation. The victim is Tom, Jonathan’s former student and stalker. Horrified, Jonathan identifies the crime’s literary connection to another early English poem. Is the killer obsessed with medieval times—or with Jonathan? When another death suggests that a serial killer is working his way through the English Literature syllabus, both the police and the scholar are drawn into a baffling mystery . . .
