Sinopse

'Echoes of David Peace's Red Riding Quartet - a slice of Yorkshire Noir to savour' - Chris Simms
October, 1995. Adrian Brown's second year at Leeds University is a blur of throbbing bass line and neon-lit nights out. However, a violent encounter with a man he met in a basement club has the power to sober him up.
Sheila Hargreaves, who has grown fond of Adrian following their brush with the infamous Lollipop Man, has written a book about the murders and is busy with a new TV show, Yorkshire CrimeTime. And then her erratic co-presenter Tony Tranter goes missing, and his body turns up riddled with stab wounds. Could his death be linked to recent violent attacks on men?
Moving from dark city corners to the glare of the TV studio lights, Sheila and Adrian find themselves on the trail of another killer.
'Sellers is a writer of pulse-pounding tension. Every book hits the mark perfectly. I'm a huge fan - Michael Wood'
'Fabulous suspense, gut-churning tension and terrific plotting had me gripped' - MK Murphy
Gripping and engrossing, this is another unforgettable thriller from Sellers, a writer at the height of his powers. I raced through it at the speed of light' Awais Khan
'A powerful brew' Peterborough Evening Telegraph
'The Devil's Smile is yet another brilliant slice of gritty Northern Noir, a must read for crime readers everywhere' The Derbyshire Times

    Alex never expected her post-FBI life to involve barcode scanners and retail strategy meetings, but working for POSS—Point of Sale Strategies—was supposed to be quiet. Normal. Safe. 
    That illusion shatters when Pinky Fingers Morales, mid-level thug with a taste for loud shirts and louder crimes, turns up dead… minus his trademark digits. 
    Worse, all signs point to Paul, Alex’s smug co-worker with suspicious access to sensitive files—and even more suspicious ties to the infamous Giodorno gang. Toss in Ronnie, Alex’s maddeningly charming ex-boyfriend with a murky agenda and a habit of showing up when bullets fly, and Alex finds herself in a tangled mess of secrets, betrayal, and criminal ambition. 
    Was Ronnie trying to take over the Giodorno operation? Did he put Paul up to murder? Or is there an even bigger play behind the curtain? 
    Armed with a sharp mind and a dry wit, Alex dives into a dangerous game of cat and mouse to expose the imposter before she becomes the next target. 
    The Imposter blends high-stakes crime with snarky charm in a mystery where everyone’s got secrets—and nobody’s who they claim to be. Clean, hard-boiled, short cozy mystery.

    Edgar Poe was born in Boston Massachusetts on 19th January 1809. His father abandoned his family the following year and within a year his mother had died leaving him an orphan.   
    He was taken in by the Allan family but never formally adopted although he now referred to himself as Edgar Allan Poe.  His father alternatively spoiled or chastised him and tension was frequent over gambling debts and monies for his education.  His university years to study ancient and modern languages was cut short by lack of money and he enlisted as a private in the army claiming he was 22, it is more probable he was 18. After 2 years he obtained a discharge in order to take up an appointment at the military academy, West Point, where he failed to become an officer. 
    Poe had released his 1st poetry volume in 1827 and after his 3rd turned to prose and placing short stories in several magazines and journals.  At age 26 he obtained a licence to marry his cousin.  She was a mere 13 but they stayed together until her death from tuberculosis 11 years after. 
    In January 1845 ‘The Raven’ was published and became an instant classic.  Thereafter followed the prose works for which he is now so rightly famed as a master of the mysterious and the macabre. 
    Edgar Allan Poe died at the tragically early age of 40 on 7th October 1849 in Baltimore, Maryland. Newspapers at the time reported Poe's death as ‘congestion of the brain’ or ‘cerebral inflammation’, common euphemisms for death from disreputable causes such as alcoholism but the actual cause of death remains a mystery.

    A Study in Scarlet is an 1887 detective novel by Scottish author Arthur Conan Doyle. The story marks the first appearance of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, who would become the most famous detective duo in popular fiction. The book's title derives from a speech given by Holmes, a consulting detective, to his friend and chronicler Watson on the nature of his work, in which he describes the story's murder investigation as his "study in scarlet": "There's the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it.
