  Inspector Gary Wagner hated getting called out at night. The only thing he hated more was the senseless, sudden death of an innocent human being. He didn’t know the woman lying in the filthy, blood-soaked alley – but it was his job to learn everything about her, her family, and her killer.A crime novelist, David Corey was used to plot twists, police investigations, and the wheels of justice. He wasn’t used to real-life police work or the massive effort that goes into an Oklahoma City homicide investigation. He soon learned that fiction is a pale shadow of reality.For Wagner and Corey, the vast number of people touched by one caring woman was amazing – as well as the key to solving the case and fulfilling her dying wish.

  With dragon eggs stolen and a murderer on the loose only days before the Broom Racing Festival, Elsie has once again found herself in the hot seat. 
  She’s vowed to get the eggs back–even if she has to team up with her biggest (and most baldheaded) enemy to do it. It should be a straightforward case… until a journalist is found dead at the local inn. 
  He left behind a scathing quill and no shortage of enemies. It seems like he badmouthed everyone in town, and with the Broom Racing Festival fast approaching, Elsie needs to find the culprit. Fast. 
  But time isn’t on her side, especially not when a cursed capricorn (that’s a goat-unicorn, of course) arrives at the animal shelter. He’s in bad shape and only Elsie can get the potion to save him. It takes her on a mad chase across town, from begging the old hag under the willows to bartering with an unhinged wind dragon. 
  With dragon eggs to find, a curse to undo, and a murderer to catch, Elsie needs to solve it all before the big broom race… or find her newfound happiness in town burned to a crisp.

  Agatha Christie's debut novel was also the first to feature Hercule Poirot, her famously eccentric Belgian detective.
  A refugee of the Great War, Poirot has settled in England near Styles Court, the country estate of his wealthy benefactor, the elderly Emily Inglethorp. When Emily is poisoned and the authorities are baffled, Poirot puts his prodigious sleuthing skills to work. Suspects are plentiful, including the victim's much younger husband, her resentful stepsons, her longtime hired companion, a young family friend working as a nurse, and a London specialist on poisons who just happens to be visiting the nearby village.
  All of them have secrets they are desperate to keep, but none can outwit Poirot as he navigates the ingenious red herrings and plot twists that contribute to Agatha Christie's well-deserved reputation as the queen of mystery.

  "The Adventure of the Empty House", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 13 stories in the cycle collected as The Return of Sherlock Holmes.
  Public pressure forced Conan Doyle to bring the sleuth back to life, and explain his apparently miraculous survival of a deadly struggle with Professor Moriarty. This is the first Holmes story set after his supposed death at the Reichenbach Falls, as recounted in "The Final Problem". The Hound of the Baskervilles had seen the return of a pre-Reichenbach Falls Sherlock Holmes, which only served to whet readers' appetites.
  Doyle ranked "The Adventure of the Empty House" sixth in his list of his twelve favorite Holmes stories.
