  A Disappearance in Fiji

  1914, Fiji: Akal Singh, 25, would rather be anywhere but this tropical paradise—or, as he calls it, “this godforsaken island.” After a promising start to his police career in Hong Kong, Akal has been sent to Fiji as punishment for a humiliating professional mistake. Lonely and grumpy, Akal plods  
  through his work and dreams of getting back to Hong Kong or his native India. 
   
  When an indentured Indian woman goes missing from a sugarcane plantation and Fiji’s newspapers scream “kidnapping,” the inspector-general reluctantly assigns Akal the case. Akal, eager to achieve redemption, agrees—but soon finds himself far more invested than he could have expected. 
   
  Now not only is he investigating a disappearance, but also confronting the brutal realities of the indentured workers’ existence and the racism of the British colonizers in Fiji—along with his own thorny notions of personhood and caste.  
   
  Early interrogations of the white plantation owners, Indian indentured laborers, and native Fijians yield only one conclusion: there is far more to this case than meets the eye. 
   
  Nilima Rao’s sparkling debut mystery offers an unflinching look at the evils of colonialism, even as it brims with wit, vibrant characters, and fascinating historical detail.

  When rum collectors collide … 
  When mixologist Pepper Revelle joins the Bohemia Bartenders for what promises to be an entertaining, rum-soaked tiki convention in sultry South Florida, she expects divine ukuleles, sublime swizzles and a chance to know chief bartender Neil a little better. What she gets is chaos — the death of a high-profile rum collector, a cast of sneaky suspects and ten thousand limes to squeeze. 
  With one of their own under suspicion, Pepper and Neil set out to find the real killer. But behind the aloha shirts and cocktail parasols is a blender full of secrets. The centerpiece of the convention is a high-dollar tasting of rums that survived a shipwreck and other disasters, and when a precious bottle vanishes from the crime scene, everyone with a ticket is a suspect. 
  As Pepper tries to keep the insatiable crowd inebriated and her gregarious dog Astra sober, she finds peril under every palm tree. It seems like everybody’s guilty of something. But who’s guilty of murder? And can she and Neil find the culprit before they’re smacked like the mint in a Mai Tai? 
  Wrecked by Rum is the second book in the Bohemia Bartenders Mysteries, funny whodunits with a dash of romance set in a convivial collective of cocktail lovers, eccentrics and mixologists. These quasi-cozy culinary comedies contain a hint of heat, a splash of cursing and shots of laughter, served over hand-carved ice.

  Now, the truth behind these secret stories is finally revealed, straight from Dr. Watson’s pen. 
  In this exclusive collection, readers will embark on five thrilling adventures that Holmes never allowed to be published. From the perplexing affair at the Ingraham Institute to the mysterious case of Harun al Rashid’s manuscript, the master detective’s abilities are challenged as never before. 
  Experience Holmes and Watson at their most vulnerable, where brilliance meets adversity and even the keenest minds can be led astray. These stories cast new light on the legendary duo, revealing a more human side of the world’s greatest detective. 
  This edition marks the first English translation of the Swedish original from 1908, bringing these remarkable cases to English-speaking listeners for the first time.

  Frans Oskar Wågman (1849-1913) was a Swedish parish priest, hymn translator, and author. His most popular works are two collections of parodic short stories, published under the pseudonym Sture Stig. Here we meet a Dr. Watson who is considerably less impressed with Sherlock Holmes than in Arthur Conan Doyle's stories.
