  Step into the shadowed corridors of history with "The Complete Addlestone Chronicles," an immersive box set that gathers the enthralling three-part saga of espionage, deep-seated love, and unwavering courage set against the tumultuous backdrop of 1930s Europe. As fascism rises and the world edges closer to war, two British spies, James Harcourt-Heath and Louise de la Béré, are swept into the heart of darkness, where every shadow harbors threats, and every alliance is tested. 
  Book 1: Addlestone sets the stage in an England under the tightening grip of Adolf Hitler. James and Louise, two Cambridge undergraduates, unwittingly step into the intricate dance of espionage. Their journey through Paris, Munich, Vienna, and Berlin pits them against a sinister Nazi cell on English soil, as they struggle to balance the scales of trust and love against their perilous mission. 
  Book 2: Lebensborn delves deeper into the horrors of Nazi eugenics through the chilling Lebensborn programme, intent on birthing a "Master Race." Now seasoned agents of MI5, James and Louise navigate the deceptive glitter of the 1936 Olympic Games and the shadows of Germany, Italy, and France. Their fight against tyranny intensifies, challenging them to safeguard humanity from a dark future. 
  Book 3: Magdalene reveals the dual horrors of Nazi ambitions and the Irish Magdalene Laundries. In their most personal mission yet, the couple confronts not only external enemies but the insidious abuse within these institutions. From the depths of espionage to the heights of philanthropy, they champion the cause of justice and morality, linking the past's shadows with the present's looming threats.

There is only one person she can turn to for help—a man she never wanted to see again…a man who abandoned her five years ago and left her heartbroken. A man definitely on the killer’s hit list.

  Can Delilah and Cas prove who’s responsible for the attempts on their lives and have a second chance at a future together? Or will the rogue ex-SEAL double-down on his promise to destroy them both?

  Sometimes a novel idea can turn out to be a bad one. 
   
   
   
  Sally Simmons was rather misunderstood in the small town of Whitby, North Carolina. An awkward woman with a sly countenance, she became a regular at the library, spending a good deal of time scribbling in a notebook and staring vacantly off into space. 
   
   
   
  It turned out, to everyone's surprise, that Sally had been industriously penning a novel. To their greater surprise, it became something of a sensation, even landing itself on the bestseller lists. 
   
   
   
  Since much of the novel had been written within the hallowed walls of the Whitby Library, reference librarian Ann and other staff members decide to hold an event to celebrate Sally’s accomplishment and learn more about her book. 
   
   
   
  Sadly, it soon becomes evident that Sally's book was inspired by actual residents of Whitby—and that she concealed their identities poorly. 
   
   
   
  When Sally meets an unfortunate demise, it's up to Ann to figure out the killer so the police can throw the book at him.

  When a young lady approaches Sherlock Holmes looking for help in finding out what happened to her father when he disappeared 10 years earlier, both Holmes and Watson are sent on a mission involving stolen treasure, service in colonial India, and a secret pact among four ex-convicts. 
   
  Born in 1859, Arthur Conan Doyle is the author most famous for creating the detective Sherlock Holmes and is renowned as the world's greatest crime fiction writer. Spending his childhood in Scotland, his first career choice was to be a doctor, and indeed he ended up with his own medical practice. It was during the failure of this first business venture that Doyle began writing to pass the time. With the creation of Sherlock Holmes, Doyle embarked on a series of crime stories that brought new levels of realism to a marginalized genre. He also became a real-life detective on occasion, personally investigating two crimes that eventually led to the release of the accused men. His Sherlock Holmes stories have found enduring popularity and have seen countless Television, Stage, and film adaptations over the course of the last century.
