Sinopsis

The 'Vintage Murder Mysteries - Ultimate Anthology' traces a broad scope within the detective fiction landscape, blossoming from the classic to the cosmic. With seminal works from the masters of suspense and plot twists, this collection emphasizes the evolutionary arc of the genre, from the gas-lit streets imagined by Dickens to the shrewd psychological corners navigated by Christie. Each story has been curated not only for its intrinsic merit but for its ability to complement and converse with the others, weaving a tapestry rich in narrative complexity and stylistic diversity. The anthology brings together an illustrious cadre of authors who shaped and pushed the boundaries of the mystery genre. From Edgar Allan Poe's foundational contributions to the detective story formula to the nuanced social critiques embedded in the narratives by Mary Roberts Rinehart, these creators both reflected and influenced the periods in which they wrote. Their collective output conjoins the Victorian anxiety about order and the modernist fascination with the human psyche, making this collection a pivotal cross-section of historical and literary movements. For enthusiasts of classic literature and new explorers alike, 'Vintage Murder Mysteries - Ultimate Anthology' offers a unique convergence of seminal voices in mystery writing. Through its pages, readers are invited to traverse an intriguing labyrinth of intrigue and narrative sophistication. This anthology not only serves as an educational tool, shedding light on the evolution of the mystery genre, but also as a profound journey through the art of storytelling, where each turn of the page enriches the understanding of human motivations and cultural reflections.

    “Danger was part of my job description, but none of my contingency plans anticipated an attack by a Maine Coon.” 
    It’s summer on Whisper Island. Ex-cop-turned-private-investigator Maggie Doyle is looking forward to sun, fun, and romance. Instead, she gets bills, an assault allegation, and a busted wrist. To add insult to injury, there’s a movie being filmed on the island, and Maggie’s diva sister has been cast in it—he rdebut role. While other residents clamor for parts as extras, Maggie wants nothing to do with the shoot. 
    But when hotshot director Con Ryder asks Maggie to investigate a series of suspicious accidents on the movie set, she can’t afford to refuse. Maggie and her UFO-obsessed assistant, Lenny, go undercover as extras, with Lenny intent on enjoying every second of the experience, and Maggie determined to solve the mystery and leave as quickly as possible.

    Kate Irving arrives at her grandfather's cottage at Frenchman's Creek in the dead of night with her young son, a small suitcase, and little else. Its scattered community of fishermen, farmers, artists, and jetsetters barely bat an eyelid, because theirs is a rarefied world, tucked beneath the lush forest that lines the banks of the Helford estuary, deep in the heart of Cornwall, where life is slow and people generally mind their own business. Unless, of course, your grandfather happens to be a pillar of the local community . . . 
     
     
     
    Kate's left the past behind and guards her privacy and her son fiercely. She's wary of accepting the friendship her new neighbors offer, but their kindness is too great to refuse and she begins to feel she has found her place in the world. That is, until tragedy strikes, and her new friends look to her for the answers . . . 
     
     
     
    Kate soon learns that the past always catches up with you, in the end—the question is, will she be able to face it, when it does? 
     
     
     
    Suspense is peppered with romance and humor in this fast-paced mystery, set amidst the spectacular Cornish landscape.

    Welcome to the world of black-ops… 
    Steel Corps—an elite, covert US military team led by Staff Sergeant Bea “Mic” Michaels, based out of a secure location in Pennsylvania. 
    Trident Security—a private security agency located in Tampa, Florida, comprised of retired Navy SEALs. 
    T. Carter—US spy and assassin. 
    What do they all have in common? They do Uncle Sam’s dirty work. 
    How did they get started and how did their paths cross? Find out as they join forces to take down a domestic terrorist organization with one goal in mind—destroy what these men and one woman will fight to the death to protect—life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. 
    ***This is NOT a romance novel, though it does have steamy scenes. No Way in Hell is a crossover novel uniting J.B. Haven’s Steel Corps series and Samantha Cole’s Trident Security series. It takes place between books 8 and 9 of the Trident Security series. While reading both series is not necessary prior to reading No Way in Hell, it is recommended for optimum enjoyment.
