  As associate director and curator of special collections at the Yates Museum, Caroline is excited to pick up a prized antique quilt from Nancy Critchley, one of Banburyport's wealthiest residents, for an upcoming exhibit . . . Until she discovers Nancy dead on the floor of her beautiful Federalist home. The muslin bag that held the quilt is empty. On the table is a napkin smeared with what appears to be tomato juice—in a design that may have been Nancy's final message.Garret Seldon, the town's new police detective, pinpoints museum intern Amber Foster as the top suspect. Amber's blog is sharply critical of the Critchley family, among other prominent citizens from Banburyport's past, for exploiting less fortunate residents in order to gain their riches. But could long-ago sins really have spurred someone to stab Nancy with a pair of sewing scissors?All of Banburyport is abuzz with theories, including the regulars at Farrow Square Coffee. A humiliated caterer, a developer angered by Nancy's work with the Historical Preservation Committee, disgruntled family members—there are plenty of possible motives and suspects. And then there's the missing quilt, a priceless creation that's almost 200 years old.Caroline and her good friend and landlady, Libby, are convinced of Amber's innocence. And somewhere among these tangled threads, Caroline knows there's a pattern to be uncovered, one that ties together the colorful secrets of Banburyport's past and present . . .

  Some people go missing by accident. Others choose to disappear. 
  Attorney Wesley Payne knows Private Investigator Yvette Young has spent three years building walls no one can breach. When he brings her what should be a straightforward missing persons case, he's betting that working together might be the thing that finally brings her back to the world. 
  Edward Foster disappeared four years ago, leaving behind twin sons and a wife barely keeping their heads above water. Now his father's deathbed will is about to expire—millions of dollars hanging in the balance if Edward can be found alive. What begins as a routine trace job becomes something else entirely when Yvette and Wesley realize nothing about this case adds up. From Atlanta's underground to the Oregon coast, they uncover a conspiracy reaching into places most people don't dare look. 
  Someone powerful wants their secrets to stay buried, and Edward is the only one who can expose them. 
  But the case isn't the only thing unraveling. The danger closing in is nothing compared to what happens when Yvette begins to remember what it feels like to be alive again...and Wesley is the one making her feel it. 
  Missing Persons is a romantic mystery with complicated people, a slow-burn romance, and a case that gets messier the deeper you dig.

  "The Adventure of the Solitary Cyclist", 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.
  Holmes is contacted by Miss Violet Smith of Farnham, Surrey about an unusual turn in hers and her mother's lives. Violet's father has recently died and left his wife and daughter rather poor. There was an ad in the news asking about their whereabouts. Answering it, they met Mr. Carruthers and Mr. Woodley, the former a pleasant enough man, but the latter a bully. They had come from South Africa, where they had known Violet's uncle Ralph Smith, who had now also died in poverty and apparently wanted to see that his relatives were provided for. This struck Violet as odd, since she and her family had not heard a word from Smith since his departure for South Africa 25 years ago. Carruthers and Woodley explained that before dying, Ralph had heard of his brother's death and felt responsible for his survivors' welfare.

  Playing off today's headlines, Burying the Dead serves up a high stakes game of love and death set on the power courts of Washington, DC, and other glittering world capitals.
  There Dimitri "Dimi" Orlov is a rising Russian tennis star whose glamorous, globetrotting career provides the perfect cover for his real day job -- agent and assassin. Trained by his government from the time he's discovered in an orphanage, Dimi is assigned to assassinate the president of the United States -- a brilliant but arrogant onetime New York prosecutor who's proved too independent for his Russian backers -- by romancing and enlisting his abused first lady, Catherine Darlington. 
  Dimi courts the lovely, loveless Catherine at Renaissance House, a new cultural center in historic Dupont Circle that's a front for Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), and at the US Open. There he's shadowed by CIA agent Mitch Abramson, who has begun to connect the dots. But just as the various matches – Dimi and Catherine, Dimi and Mitch -- heat up, Dimi makes a choice that could have his bosses take him out of the game permanently.
