Sinopsis

Jake Reynolds is an art thief. Perhaps the greatest, luckiest art thief ever. He steals rare paintings and replaces them with forgeries so exact that nobody can tell the difference.
 
It's 1915 and WW1 rages across Europe. After finding the owner of an unknown Rembrandt killed in his own mansion, Jake cannot let it go; a quirk of his personality refuses him to allow anyone to get away with murder.
 
The problem? How can he find the vicious killers and bring them to justice without revealing his own felonious act.
 
A historical mystery set in early 20th century Europe, DEATH OF A CUCKOLD KNIGHT is the second book in B.R. Stateham's Jake Reynolds Mysteries series.
Disponible desde: 14/11/2023.

    Back in his hometown of Sugar House, running his family's board game shop and café, Ben Rosencrantz just can't seem to get his life to pass go, much less collect $200. Once he was a happily married English professor in Seattle. Now he's a divorced caregiver, looking after his ill father and a Chihuahua named Beans while still figuring out the rules of retail management. At least the town has become more LGBTQ+ friendly than when Ben was a teenager—and that flower shop owner, Ezra McCaslin, enjoys flirting with him. 
     
     
      
    But despite his usual clientele of gamers, Ben is barely earning enough to keep the store running and stay on top of his father's medical bills. Then a local toy and game collector named Clive offers him a winning strategy—to purchase a turn-of-the-twentieth-century edition of The Landlord's Game, the realty and taxation game that inspired Monopoly, at a tenth of the rare edition's true value. Suspicious of Clive's shady, low-priced deal, Ben turns the offer down. 
     
     
      
    Then Clive turns up dead at the front door of Ben's shop and a backpack full of $100 bills appears on his doorstep. Now Ben is the #1 suspect in Clive's death, and unless he and Ezra can prove his innocence and find the real killer, he'll go to jail for murder—and no amount of double dice rolls will set him free . . .

    The summer thriller from bestselling author Nina Manning 
    I had vowed I would never get back into the water, but of course, this was always going to be the outcome. I never really had a choice. 
    When out of work actress Rey Levine is offered her dream acting role, she knows she has to make it work. But there’s a catch: the film calls for Rey to swim, something she hasn't done since her last fateful summer holiday fifteen years ago. The summer her sister disappeared…and everyone blamed Rey. 
    Rey will do anything to block out the painful memories, but it means her current life is in freefall – drink and men her drugs of choice. 
    With her first dip in the cool water, Rey thinks she’s found the perfect escape. But as the water holds her, old memories float to the surface, forcing Rey to remember the terrible summer she’d rather forget. 
    But someone doesn't want the truth to surface. Not now, not ever... And they're prepared to ruin Rey's life all over again. 
    Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Valerie Keogh and Louise Jensen.
