  November 1913: Staff wanted. Prospects excellent. Death - or worse - a certainty.  
  London 1913. One foggy November evening, fourteen-year-old Rosie is knocked down by a car and admitted to Dorcas Free Hospital.  
  Dr Margaret Demeray suspects she's escaped kidnappers masquerading as an employment agency. But the police are more interested in the cold-blooded murder of a respectable man than Rosie, and Rosie won’t talk, other than to beg Margaret and Fox to stop her friend Violet being caught by the same people.  
  Digging deeper reveals more than Margaret and Fox bargained for. The procurers may be doing more than simply traffic young people. Rescuing Violet may be the only way they can shut the operation down. But where is she? And is it possible that both perpetrators and victims may be closer than they thought?

  It takes a thief … 
    
  "Le Chat" ("The Cat"), an infamous thief, has come out of retirement and is again liberating expensive jewelry from wealthy tourists on the French Riviera. Or is it a "copycat" who is stealing fortunes?  
    
  John Robie thought he had left his larcenous past behind. Once responsible for a string of daring thefts and escapes, he was caught and sent to prison just before the outbreak of World War II. Freed during the German occupation of France, Robie joined the French Resistance and received unofficial amnesty after the war ended. He retired to a simple life in the country where he befriended the local commissaire, Oriol, and tended his gardens. Now it's 1951, and someone has been at work using his old MO. When the police come to arrest him, Robie escapes to Cannes. There, he reconnects with his former comrade Bellini, who convinces Robie to help catch the copycat.  
    
  Disguised as a pudgy, middle-aged American businessman, Robie scouts the local nightclubs and casinos and tries to outthink the new thief. When he meets Francie Stevens, the daughter of a wealthy tourist, she becomes Robie's unwelcome ally, and together they hatch a dangerous plan to catch the thief at a gala party. But soon they both realize that Robie really is a thief at heart. With Oriol and the police on his trail, will he escape capture? Will the real thief be caught? And will Robie give up the thief? 
    
  "Fans of the movie and classic crime fiction will enjoy this story of honor among thieves."—Library Journal

  A heatwave melts London as Holmes and Watson are called to action in this new Sherlock Holmes adventure by Bonnie MacBird, author of “one of the best Sherlock Holmes novels of recent memory.” 
  In Whitechapel, a renowned Italian escape artist dies spectacularly on stage during a performance – immolated in a gleaming copper cauldron of his wife’s design. In Cambridge, the runaway daughter of a famous don drowns, her long blonde hair tangled in the Jesus Lock on the River Cam. And in Baker Street, a malevolent locksmith exacts an unusual price to open a small silver box sent to Watson. 
  From the glow of the London stage to the buzzing Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, where physicists explore the edges of new science of electricity, Holmes and Watson race between the two cities to solve the murders, encountering prevaricating prestidigitators, philandering physicists and murderous mentalists, all the while unlocking secrets which may be best left undisclosed. And one, in particular, lands very close to home. 
  In this historical fiction, the suspense is palpable as Holmes and Watson navigate the thrilling world of crime and mystery. The traditional detective procedural is turned on its head as they race against time, unlocking secrets that may be best left undisclosed. 
  For fans of James Lovegrove (Sherlock Holmes and the Christmas Demon), M. K. Wiseman (Sherlock Holmes & the Ripper of Whitechapel), Anthony Horowitz (Marble Hall Murders), Richard T. Ryan (The Poisoned Pawn), and Richard Osman (The Impossible Fortune).
