  1924. John Olson left his home in Kootenai, Idaho for a sales trip to Spokane, expecting to return in two days. Instead he disappeared; his personal effects found strewn along the south bank of the Spokane River. 
  Meanwhile a hobo dressed in a business suit is rousted from a freight train. He has no idea where he is and, incredibly, has no idea who he is. He assumes an alias and works odd jobs while he searches for himself. Lonely, and with no one to turn to, he writes about his trials and his turmoil in a diary. 
  Back in Kootenai, Helen Olson raises the family, agonizing about what happened to John. Scandalous rumors and a deathly ill child add to her travails. 
  Based on newspaper articles, family lore, and the diary of an amnesiac, 85 Days is a captivating tale of doubt, despair, self-discovery and triumph.

  Some houses remember what the world tried to forget. 
   
  When three empty-nest friends purchase a neglected 1860s Greek Revival in San Antonio’s historic district, they believe they’re investing in a renovation project—and a fresh start. 
   
  They aren’t expecting the attic footsteps. 
   
  Or the woman in white. 
   
  Ellen has always been practical, skeptical, grounded in reality. But when strange occurrences escalate and long-buried records surface, even she can’t ignore the truth: the house is holding onto something. 
   
  Decades earlier, the property operated as a private medical residence for women—patients declared unstable, difficult, or hysterical. Their diagnoses were signed. Their confinement justified. Their stories erased. 
   
  Until now. 
   
  As Ellen, Sue, and Tanya dig into hospital archives, interview guarded neighbors, and uncover evidence someone doesn’t want exposed, they realize this isn’t just a haunting. 
   
  It’s a reckoning. 
   
  Because the women who suffered behind those walls were silenced in life. 
   
  And they will not remain silent in death. 
   
  In this gripping opening to the Mystery House Series, friendship, history, and the supernatural collide in a story about forgotten voices, buried truths, and three women brave enough to listen. 
   
  Content Note: This novel explores historical injustices, including references to sexual assault within the context of institutional abuse.

  N. L. Westaway switches gears to bring you an exciting new psychological mystery thriller. 
  ​What wouldn't you do, to protect the ones you love? 
  All evidence points to yet another murder by the notorious serial killer known as the ‘Small-Town Strangler’. The unsolved killings had been labeled the Professor Murders, and the case file had become known as the Professor’s Dozen... it has been 6 years since the last killing, and this latest murder is number 13 now, making it a baker’s dozen. 
  Where has the killer been all these years and why have they returned? 
  Since her father had died before she’d been born, and her mother Laura hadn’t bothered with dating afterwards, Gwen romanticized that the trunk containing the letters she’d found in the back of her mother’s closet, might have been love letters from her father to her mother… but they weren’t. And though they had been written in what Gwen thought was her mother’s handwriting, and based on the city addressed on the envelopes, had been penned ‘Dear Mother’ to Gwen’s grandmother. But strangely enough, there had been no return address marked on any of them. And for whatever reason, they had all been signed, ‘Love Rachel’'.

  Honour of Israel Gow The (The...

  A stormy evening of olive and silver was closing in, as Father Brown, wrapped in a grey Scotch plaid, came to the end of a grey Scotch valley and beheld the strange castle of Glengyle. It stopped one end of the glen or hollow like a blind alley; and it looked like the end of the world. Rising in steep roofs and spires of seagreen slate in the manner of the old French-Scotch chateaux, it reminded an Englishman of the sinister steeple-hats of witches in fairy tales; and the pine woods that rocked round the green turrets looked, by comparison, as black as numberless flocks of ravens.
