Synopsis

A collection of three crime mysteries by Brian L. Porter, now available in one volume!
 
Behind Closed Doors: In the autumn of 1888, amidst the terror caused by Jack the Ripper's notorious murders in London, a lesser-known killer lurks in the shadows. Unknown to the public, murders are taking place aboard the carriages of the London Metropolitan Railway. Inspector Albert Norris is tasked to apprehend the elusive killer, with clues in short supply and the killer's motive a mystery. Will he be able to unravel the inexplicable series of murders and bring the culprit to justice before he strikes again?
 
Purple Death: Detective Inspector Sean Connor faces a daunting task. A serial killer is terrorizing Richmond-on-Thames, with the murders all committed with a unique poison linked to the infamous Borgia family. Each victim seems to be unrelated, clues are scarce, and the killer is always one step ahead of them. With the help of Sergeant Lucy Clay, Connor must piece together evidence to find the mysterious "Chocolate Woman" and stop the killing spree before another life is lost.
 
The Nemesis Cell: A group of women gather at a Belgian fertility clinic where Doctor Margherita Dumas offers a revolutionary treatment for their infertility. A year later, each of the women give birth to a healthy baby boy. Thirty years later, a mysterious killer begins to wipe out the children born as a result of Dumas’ programme. Detective Inspector Harry Houston and his team are assigned to piece together the case and bring the killer to justice. But with both time and clues in short supply, can Harry and his team find the link between events of the past and the deaths of the innocent progeny of Clinique Sobel?

    Have yourself a very Merry Witchmas in Holiday Haven, where the magic and mystery of Christmas is snow joke! 
     
     
     
    After five years of running the Holiday Haven Inn, Carolyn Highcrest thinks she can handle anything. She and her best friend Mercy are determined to make their festive weekend celebrations the best they can possibly be, despite being surrounded by scheming rivals, melodramatic theatre group members and overenthusiastic carollers. 
     
     
     
    What Carol didn't anticipate was a visit from her eccentric family, whose knack for trouble and attachment to their cringeworthy custom-made hats threaten to derail her focus. To make things worse, a magical wishing box intended for the weekend's event disappears, and soon after, a string of inexplicable pranks hits the inn, seemingly a result of the box's powerful magic. 
     
     
     
    Carol is inclined to blame both the theft and the pranks on her long-term business rival, Janice, but all too soon, events are spiraling out of control. Can Carol fix the trouble before the holiday cheer is ruined?

    When Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson only by chance escape an arson attack at the Waldorf Hotel, they are glad to have found new lodgings in the apartment of Hampton Bank. Director Benjamin Hampton, who still feels indebted to Holmes, is pleased that both are now apparently safe from the long arm of retribution by the New York Police. For precisely this reason, he confronts Holmes with a case requiring special care: a secret banking meeting in the state of Georgia was supposed to remain secret. But when one of the participants doesn't return to New York, that plan fails, and Hampton sets his tenants Holmes and Watson on the case. Once again, no 'vacation in America' for the two friends from London...

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz, and includes a fully immersive cinematic music score. 
    "The Crawling Chaos" is a short story by American writers H. P. Lovecraft and Winifred V. Jackson, first published April 1921 in the United Cooperative. As in their other collaboration, "The Green Meadow", the tale was credited to "Elizabeth Berkeley" (Jackson) and "Lewis Theobald, Jun" (Lovecraft). Lovecraft wrote the entire text, but Jackson is also credited since the story was based on a dream she experienced. 
    The story begins with the narrator describing the effects of opium and the fantastical vistas it can inspire. The narrator then tells of his sole experience with opium in which he was accidentally administered an overdose by a doctor during the "year of the plague". 
    After a disembodied sensation of falling, the narrator finds himself within a strange beautiful room containing exotic furniture, where a pounding sound from outside inspires an inexplicable sense of dread within the narrator. Determined to identify the origin of this sound, the narrator moves towards a window and observes a terrifying scene of fifty-foot waves and seething vortex consuming the shoreline at an incredible rate...

    When corpses clutching poems begin turning up around Storyton Hall, resort manager Jane Steward is on the trail of someone exercising poetic license to kill . . . 
     
     
      
    As Jane eagerly anticipates the wedding of her best friend Eloise Alcott, Storyton Hall is overrun with poets in town to compete for a coveted greeting card contract. They're everywhere, scrawling verses on cocktail napkins in the reading rooms or seeking inspiration strolling the Poet's Walk, a series of trails named after famous authors. But the Tennyson Trail leads to a grim surprise: a woman's corpse drifting in a rowboat on a lake, a crumpled copy of "The Lady of Shallot" in her lifeless fist. 
     
     
      
    When a second body is discovered, also holding a page from a poetry book, a recurring MO emerges. Fortunately, Jane is well versed in sleuthing and won't rest until she gives the killer a taste of poetic justice . . .
