Sinopse

Émile Gaboriau's "Ultimate Collection: Murder Mysteries, Crime Thrillers & Detective Novels" offers a comprehensive anthology of the pioneering narratives that set the stage for the modern detective genre. With compelling plots that explore the intricate interplay of justice and morality, Gaboriau's works are characterized by their meticulous attention to detail and innovative techniques in crime storytelling. This collection includes notable titles such as "Monsieur Lecoq," where the astute detective navigates the labyrinthine underbelly of Paris, revealing the complexity of human motivations against a backdrop of social realism prevalent in 19th-century literature. Émile Gaboriau (1832-1873), often credited as the father of the detective novel, brought fresh insight into crime fiction through his journalistic background and keen observations of societal dynamics. His experiences in law enforcement and his fascination with criminal psychology deeply influenced his writing, allowing him to create enduring characters and suspenseful narratives. Gaboriau's ability to delve into the complexities of both perpetrators and investigators reflects the sociopolitical context of his time, as well as his commitment to illuminating the darker corners of human nature. This collection is essential for readers with a passion for crime fiction and those seeking a historical lens on the development of the genre. Gaboriau's masterful storytelling invites readers to engage with the moral ambiguity and psychological tension of his characters, offering an immersive experience. A timeless exploration of the labyrinthine psyche of crime, this Ultimate Collection promises to captivate both new and seasoned fans of detective literature.

    Robert James, a private detective more interested in chronicling his cases than solving them, gets a midnight call from a young woman whose older husband has been found with a knife in his chest. Murder, corruption, and betrayal ensue as he's drawn into the dark underworld of his client, but hapless Robert and his sidekick, a flower-delivery guy, can't stop drinking, smoking, and philosophizing long enough to keep up. Imagine The Big Sleep via Fernando Pessoa, with a side of Buster Keaton.
       
    'Goldbach's touch is light and his narrative momentum is fierce.'
       
    – Globe and Mail
       
    'Told in a sort of punchÂ?drunk, slapstick stream that melds dreams, misperception and dialogue, the story has undeniable momentum, even as it veers persistently and amusingly off course. [Four stars]'

    In a world of shadows, a sinister ritual awakens... 
    Just as Sheriff Rebecca West starts to relax after a harrowing hostage situation, she’s thrown into another demanding case. This one is even more ominous. 
    Maybe the curse is real. 
    Shadow Island lore insists that anyone who steps in the shadow cast onto the old witch’s cottage is cursed. But when two bodies are discovered inside the cottage, their heads arranged in a ghastly tableau, Rebecca is more concerned about the real monsters—the human ones who’d commit such an atrocious murder. 
    The bizarre staging, the mutilation of the corpses, and the desecration of the cottage point to a ritualistic killing. And the horrific murders occurring upon the arrival of the traveling Lovecraft symposium—an assembly of fervent enthusiasts of the macabre—transcend mere coincidence. However, the city refuses to close the convention and lose revenue. 
    Murder can draw quite the crowd, after all. 
    But when a third gory murder occurs twenty-four hours later, one thing is clear. A vicious killer lurks in the shadow. And he’ll find a new victim every night unless Rebecca finds a way to close the book on this horror story. 
    From its grisly beginning to the chilling conclusion, Shadow’s Ritual—the seventh book in the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes—is not for the faint-hearted. Because when fiction and reality converge, the line between waking horror and the darkest nightmare disappears.

    I tripped over the body of Dusty Routt sometime after10 o'clock on the evening of October 19. . . 
    The New York Times bestselling author cooks up a knockout treat featuring the irrepressible caterer Goldy Schulz. 
    Goldy Schulz has a lucrative new gig, preparing breakfasts and conference room snacks for a local law firm. It's time-consuming, but Goldy is enjoying it -- until the night she arrives to find Dusty, the firm's paralegal, dead. The poor young woman also happens to be Goldy's friend and neighbor, and now Dusty's grieving mother begs Goldy to find out who murdered her daughter. 
    Just because the police are on the case doesn't mean Goldy can't do a little snooping herself. While catering a party at the home of one of the firm's lawyers, she manages to overhear an incriminating conversation and ends up discovering a few clues in the kitchen. Before long, Goldy is knee deep in suspects, one of whom is incredibly dangerous and very liable to cook Goldy's goose.
