Black Box Betrayal

Kuuno Rähn

In June 2021, Sarah Walker, a meticulous FBI accountant, is handed a seemingly simple assignment in Colorado just before her vacation. Aboard Flight 382 from New York to Denver, disaster strikes when both engines explode shortly after takeoff. Miraculously, Sarah survives the crash, the sole survivor of 160 passengers, only to discover the horrifying truth: the crash was no accident, but a meticulously planned sabotage by the very agency she served. The botched explosion, intended to leave no trace, has instead left a witness – her.  
Haunted by the fiery carnage and hunted by her former colleagues, Sarah embarks on a perilous journey across continents. From the deceptive tranquility of Germany, where a calculated romance with FBI spy Albert Hoffman crumbles into deadly betrayal, to the brutal confines of an American prison, and finally to the vibrant but precarious streets of Haiti, Sarah is relentlessly pursued. As she uncovers the FBI's dark secrets – a web of corruption and abuse of power that reaches the highest levels – she must use all her skills and resilience to expose the truth and survive, even if it means sacrificing everything. But the FBI's reach is long, and their secrets are worth killing for, leading Sarah to a tragic final confrontation where she utters, "This is the end..." before taking her own life.

Murder Takes the Stage

Colleen Cambridge

Housekeeper Phyllida Bright is quite in her element at Mallowan Hall, the charming English manor that she keeps in tip-top shape. By contrast, the bustling metropolis of London, where her famed employer Agatha Christie has temporarily relocated, leaves Phyllida a bit out of her depth. Not only must she grapple with a limited staff, but Phyllida also has to rein in a temperamental French cook who has the looks of Hercule Poirot, but none of the charm. 
 
 
 
When a man named Archibald Allston is found dead in an armchair onstage at the Adelphi Theater, first impressions are that he died of natural causes. But the very next day, the unlucky actor playing Benvolio at the Belmont Theater is found with his head bashed in. And when a third victim turns up, this time with double-C initials, the fatal pattern is impossible to ignore. 
 
 
 
With panic erupting among theater folk—a superstitious bunch at the best of times—Phyllida steps up to help with the investigation. The murderer's MO may be easy to read, but can Phyllida uncover the killer's identity before the final curtain falls on another victim?
