Sinopsis

In "POE'S MYSTERIES: Complete Murder Mysteries, Thriller Tales & Detective Stories (Illustrated)", Edgar Allan Poe masterfully intertwines elements of suspense, horror, and psychological intrigue, establishing an indelible mark in the genre of detective fiction. This collection showcases some of Poe's most acclaimed works, including the pioneering detective story "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" and the chilling, atmospheric narratives of guilt and paranoia that epitomize his unique literary style. With meticulous attention to detail, Poe crafts a rich tapestry of motives and moral dilemmas, framed within a gothic context that both entices and disturbs the reader's sensibilities. Edgar Allan Poe, a luminary of American literature, navigated personal tumult and existential struggles that profoundly influenced his writing. His early life experiences, which included the loss of loved ones and a fascination with the macabre, fostered a voice that merges a keen psychological insight with a relentless exploration of death and the human condition. Poe's innovative narrative techniques and emphasis on mood herald his role as a precursor to modern crime fiction and horror. This collection is highly recommended for readers who wish to delve into the origins of the detective genre while appreciating the darker aspects of human psychology. Poe's exquisite prose and unsettling themes invite both new and seasoned readers to explore the sinister undercurrents of his captivating tales.

    Jack Ryan meets Wind River in this pulse-pounding 1970s international mystery set against the rugged Wyoming mountains, from USA Today bestselling author Pamela Fagan Hutchins. 
    When a stranger who isn’t who he claims to be befriends adventurous young doctor Patrick Flint and his teenage son during a wilderness expedition with movers and shakers from across the globe, the duo suddenly becomes the target of a ruthless gang of killers. To survive, Patrick and his son must unravel the mystery man’s true identity—before the assassins strike and their lives are ended. 
    "Leaving the dead ranch hand on the living room floor, Patrick Flint sucked in a shallow breath and wrenched the doorknob in the kitchen, pulling outwards to expose a deep pantry. A bare bulb with a pull string hung from the ceiling, illuminating cans of food and bags of rice, beans, sugar, and flour on the shelves, and a long-legged man with a boot missing from one foot slumped against the base of the wall. He held one hand on his bleeding head, hair color indeterminate. The other pressed into his round, oozing gut. Patrick drew in a sharp breath. This bunkhouse was a bloodbath. What in Hell's half acre had he stumbled into?" 
    Stag Party is the sixth installment in the Patrick Flint series of thrilling mysteries, a spin-off from the What Doesn’t Kill You super series. Available in digital, print, and audiobook. 
    If you love C.J. Box or Craig Johnson, you’ll devour Pamela Fagan Hutchins’ Patrick Flint adventures. A former attorney, Pamela lives off-the-grid at a lodge on Wyoming’s Bighorn Mountains, where she shares her wild lifestyle with her husband, rescue dogs, cats, and enormous horses—bringing the landscapes and high-stakes action in her novels to vivid life.
