Sinopse

The Nest of the Sparrowhawk is a gripping tale of greed, deception, and hidden identities set in Puritan England. The novel follows Sir Marmaduke de Chevasse, a cunning and unscrupulous man whose outward piety masks a ruthless scheme: to trick his beautiful young ward, Lady Sue, into marriage and seize her fortune. But beneath the quiet surface of the Kent countryside, secrets fester and dangers grow. With disguises, forged letters, and sinister plots, Orczy builds a tense and atmospheric story that blends romance with dark intrigue. Both a historical mystery and a moral drama, The Nest of the Sparrowhawk showcases Orczy's gift for weaving suspense, betrayal, and passion into a tale of justice and retribution.

    He wagered on her marriage prospects. 
    She staked her heart on his redemption. 
    Neither expected to risk everything. 
    London, 1819. After two disastrous courtships, American heiress Amelia Edgewood has sworn off marriage altogether. But when she overhears the notorious Lord Nathaniel Sterling betting he can secure her a proposal by the end of the Season, she throws down a challenge of her own: if he wins, the money goes to her cherished orphanage. 
    What begins as a simple arrangement quickly spirals into something far more dangerous to her heart. As Nathaniel introduces Amelia to eligible bachelors, she plays the part of the perfect debutante—until a twist of fate leaves sixteen orphans without shelter. In a move that shocks society and himself, Nathaniel offers his mother’s Bloomsbury townhouse to house the children—with Amelia under the same roof. 
    As scandal brews and rumors swirl, their pretend partnership becomes harder to deny. With a child’s life on the line and emotions running high, Amelia and Nathaniel must decide what matters most: reputation, redemption... or a love neither of them saw coming.

    There's a war for the very soul of Brooklyn ... and the stakes are higher than ever! 
    When perpetrators of particularly heinous and insidious crimes were acquitted after trial in an alarmingly large number across America, it caught the attention of a priest in the Vatican's Office of Exorcisms in New York, who noticed that all preceded satanic exorcisms. His shuddering conclusion - Satan must be directly responsible for the crimes and their aftermath. 
    In the United States, the Devil was winning, and causing anarchy, chaos, and the destruction of life.   
    The Fallen Angel series begins when Brooklyn becomes ground zero for the Evil One, and prosecutor Michael Gioca, Chief of the Brooklyn District Attorney's Rackets Division, is handpicked by a secret government agency to take on and defeat the Devil. In Book 1, Gioca gets the best of his evil adversary time and again, so Satan must up his game if he wants to succeed in his mission, the destruction of Brooklyn. 
    For decades family has been the cornerstone of the rich, vibrant, life in Brooklyn, the Borough of Churches. Without it, life there would crumble. The Evil One has recognized this and has taken aim at that essential institution. 
    If you love crime, fantasy, and delving into the unknown, Fallen Angel-A True Crime Fantasy, Book 2, tells the story of the war for the soul of Brooklyn. 
    Will Satan succeed? Or will Michael Gioca once again prevail.

    The Murder at the Vicarage is Agatha Christie’s first mystery to feature the beloved investigator Miss Marple—as a dead body in a clergyman’s study proves to the indomitable sleuth that no place, holy or otherwise, is a sanctuary from homicide. 
    Miss Marple encounters a compelling murder mystery in the sleepy little village of St. Mary Mead, where under the seemingly peaceful exterior of an English country village lurks intrigue, guilt, deception and death. 
     
    Colonel Protheroe, local magistrate and overbearing land-owner is the most detested man in the village. Everyone--even in the vicar--wishes he were dead. And very soon he is--shot in the head in the vicar's own study. Faced with a surfeit of suspects, only the inscrutable Miss Marple can unravel the tangled web of clues that will lead to the unmasking of the killer.

    The year is 1986—the tarnished heart of the "Greed is Good" decade. 
    Private detective Peter O’Keefe, a physically scarred and emotionally battered Vietnam vet, is hired by childhood friend and attorney Mike Harrigan to investigate what appears to be a petty mink farm Ponzi scheme in the Ozarks. But quickly O’Keefe finds himself snared in a vicious web of money laundering, cocaine smuggling, and murder—all at the behest of a mysterious mobster only referred to as Mr. Canada. Also caught up in Mr. Canada’s illicit network is the exquisite Tag Parker, who seems to dance between roles as the woman of O’Keefe’s dreams—and his nightmares. 
    From start to finish Mink Eyes delivers classic noir crime fiction at its finest. In a category filled with formulaic and predictable characters and plot lines, reviewers are calling Mink Eyes absolutely “unique and unexpected.”

    Lillian Byrd is a small-time reporter with a flair for making big-time mistakes—like getting fired for fending off the boss's son with an X-Acto knife and breaking up with her girlfriend for no good reason—so her investigation into the disappearances of women in the Detroit area might not be the best idea. But when one of the missing women turns up dead and Lillian recognizes the bizarrely mutilated corpse, she's in too deep to get out. Of course, it doesn't help that she's still fighting off the boss's son and ducking the aggressively amorous overtures of the roughest dyke in town. Now, after simultaneously blowing the case for the police and revealing herself to the off-kilter killers, she's completely on her own. Can she catch the murderers before they catch up with her?
