  "Vegas deals in cards, but tonight it’s a deadly hand." 
  In the underbelly of Sin City, Bert knew he was playing with fire. Seven players entered a shadowy back room for a game of Crazy Eights, fueled by ambition and desperation. Only four walked out alive. Among them was Bert—a flashy card counter whose golden run had finally turned into a deadly gamble. Now, all he wants is to escape the neon claws of Las Vegas. 
  Every glint of his garish suit and piece of gold jewelry made Bert a spectacle on the casino floors, but in the secret rooms of high stakes and higher risks, those same traits made him a target. A mysterious adversary has marked him, and now he must navigate a city that once welcomed him as a king but now wants him silenced. 
  In pursuit are Tony and Troy, enigmatic twins who once dreamed of wearing FBI badges but now serve the shadows. Known as TNT for their explosive methods, they’ll stop at nothing to uncover who’s really dealing the cards. As Bert eyes the horizon, hopes pinned on a new disguise, a long-lost friend, and an Uber ride into anonymity, the hunter becomes the hunted in this taut game of cat and mouse. 
  Can Bert's wits outplay the ultimate bluff, or will Vegas claim its due? In this stark, cutting edge audio tale from the Solitaire Series, the stakes have never been higher, and folding is not an option.

  Willa Sibert Cather had Welsh ancestry but like her parents Charles and Mary, was born in Virginia, on 7th December 1873. Despite strong roots in the community, Willa was 9, when the family moved to Nebraska, to work the rich soil and avoid TB of which there were numerous outbreaks in Virginia. 
  The vastness and drama of the Nebraska prairie and its’ extreme weather conditions as well as the many diverse cultures of the local families proved to be a major influence on her and can be evidenced in much of her later writing. 
  Her first writing was for the local journal when she was at the University of Nebraska and later became the managing editor of the student newspaper. 
  In 1896 she obtained work for a woman’s magazine in Pittsburgh and soon after became a regular contributor to the Pittsburgh Leader and wrote poetry and short stories for the Library, another local publication. 
  Her first collection of short stories, ‘The Troll Garden’, was published in 1905 and contains several of her most famous including ‘A Wagner Matinee’ and ‘Paul's Case.’ As a writer Cather was now taking immense strides forward. 
  Between 1913 and 1918 Cather wrote her Prairie Trilogy: ‘O Pioneers!’, ‘The Song of the Lark’, and ‘My Ántonia’ and in 1922 the Pulitizer Prize was hers for her novel ‘One of Ours’ set during WWI. 
  Acknowledged as one of America's greatest writers’ further honours flowed. In 1943 she was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. The following year Cather received the gold medal for fiction from the National Institute of Arts and Letters. 
  A determinedly private person, Cather destroyed many old drafts, personal papers, and letters. Her will would also restrict the ability of scholars to quote from personal papers that remained. 
  On 24th April 1947, Willa Siebert Cather died of a cerebral haemorrhage at her Manhattan home. She was 73.

  The murder of a political bigwig at a Honey Bee Tea sends Theodosia Browning buzzing for answers in this latest installment of the New York Times bestselling series. 
   
  Theodosia’s Honey Bee Tea was an elegant affair set in Charleston’s new Petigru Park amid newly planted native grasses and a community beekeeping project. But when a phony beekeeper shows up and sprays toxic smoke at the guests, the party erupts in chaos. Worse yet, a shot  
  rings out and Osgood Claxton III, candidate for state legislature, falls to the ground—dead. 
   
  Holly Burns, the gallery owner who asked Theodosia to cater the tea, is understandably heartbroken. A man is dead, her guests are angry and injured, and the paintings that were on display are left in tatters. When the police don’t seem to have a clue, when old-line politicos don’t want  
  questions asked, Holly begs Theodosia to run a shadow investigation and help restore her gallery’s good name. 
   
  Between hosting a Wind in the Willows Tea and a Glam Girl Tea, Theodosia questions everyone that had a bone to pick with Claxton. This includes Booker, an angry outsider artist; Lamar Lucket, Claxton’s political opponent; and Mignon Merriweather, the dead man’s soon-to-be ex-wife. But  
  the investigation becomes a political hot potato following a second murder, the revelation of a messy affair, a chase through a swamp, and a vandalized shop. 
   
  INCLUDES DELICIOUS RECIPES AND TEA TIME TIPS!
