  Murder comes to Norfolk Island, but is the killer after Alexandra Archer’s Tahitian black pearl or a lost illustration of the rare Green Parrot? 
  The Thorntons, along with a small team of people, mount an expedition to Norfolk Island, a small island in the South Pacific, to study the Green Parrot and set up research programmes to help protect it and other endangered birds. 
  As a birthday surprise, Alexandra’s father tells her she is to be the official photographer for the expedition. Her father gives her a black pearl brooch that Alexandra’s great-grandfather had bought off a merchant in Hong Kong in the 1850s. The pearls are Tahitian black pearls. 
  Before they depart Melbourne, they learn that Norfolk Island has had its first murder. It sends ripples of unease through Alexandra. She hoped she could escape murder on this small island paradise.

  There are stories that strike like a bullet—swift, precise, and inescapable. Mateo Falcone is one of them.
  In the sun-scorched Corsican wilderness, where honor is measured in blood and a man's word is as unyielding as the mountains, a moment of hesitation can seal one's fate. A fugitive seeking refuge, a child faced with an impossible choice, a father whose sense of justice knows no mercy—Mérimée paints a world where tradition rules with an iron grip, and betrayal, no matter how small, does not go unanswered.
  There are no heroes here, no villains—only the weight of an unwritten law, passed down through generations, and the chilling certainty of what must come next. A tale as sharp as a knife's edge, Mateo Falcone lingers in the mind long after the final page, leaving behind the echo of a single gunshot and the question: what price does honor demand?

  Fifteen years before Sir Arthur Conan Doyle published A Study in Scarlet, Anna Katharine Green began writing The Leavenworth Case, inspiring the creation of detectives like Sherlock, Poirot, and Wimsey, as well as almost every device and convention we now recognize as standard in detective mystery fiction. 
  When her father's client is found murdered, Anna takes up the call to prove innocent the young girl accused of the murder. The investigation inspires many of the events, characters, and descriptions that would later be published in her debut novel. 
  A love letter to mystery and writing itself, A Deed of Dreadful Note is an homage and reintroduction to an author who was the Agatha Christie of her time but a forgotten female today. 
  This book is a fictionalized account of how Anna Katharine Green’s first novel may have come to be… 
  A Deed of Dreadful Note is Book One in the Anna Katharine Green Mysteries, the only historical fiction series featuring the Mother of Detective Fiction.

  In 1783, Liam Brock, David Graham, and Elisabeth Hale crossed the Atlantic on a life-changing voyage. Together by chance, bound by choice—their story continues in this "sweeping epic". (Kirkus Reviews) 
  When the orphaned Liam Brock first set foot in Philadelphia, he was brimming with aspirations. Now, seven years later, he faces a startling sensation of loss as his constant companions, David and Elisabeth, begin a life apart. Aimless for the first time in his life, he forgoes opportunities to pursue his passion for law and continues dallying with a variety of Philadelphia's young women. His poor Scottish roots and questionable parentage, always a sore spot, suddenly impede any possibility of a profession—at least in his own mind. 
  Then Elisabeth's childhood friend, the fiery and independent Rhiannon Ross, comes to town, seeking reprieve from a misguided marriage. Though yet another reminder of his limitations, she grabs Liam's interest from the outset, compelling him to open his heart once more to life's possibilities. 
  "An investment worth making for the author’s vivid historical detail and convincing slice-of-life predicaments. Historical fiction fans should take note." ~ Publishers Weekly
