Summary

Liene, the girl with hair colour of angry Etna. Somewhere between 800 and 1000 Celsius. And a much hotter temperament—is gone.
 
Tristan Grieves. The enigma peeler and ferryman on watered time is moving oars through rough months.
 
Boomerang throws TG into an ex-serotonin chaser’s house that smells like stolen passports. A flesh horizon where knives sail into. A nicotine party for a ghost exit, where a she-golem built from old betrayals waits. But what do you do when even the sun don’t want you?
 
“Hofstatter has a unique knack for reading the urban; peeling back the skin of the city, creating new myths for strange times. Sketching silk-smooth noir in full colour, these stories are sharp teeth beneath velvet. A vivid talent.” - Laura Mauro, Author of Sing Your Sadness Deep
Available since: 09/20/2022.

    "The Adventure of the Missing Three-Quarter", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 13 stories in the cycle collected as The Return of Sherlock Holmes. It was originally published in The Strand Magazine in 1904 with illustrations by Sidney Paget.
    Mr. Cyril Overton of Trinity College, Cambridge, comes to Holmes seeking his help in Godfrey Staunton's disappearance. Staunton is the key man on Overton's rugby union team (who plays at the three-quarters position, hence the story's title) and they will not win the important match tomorrow against Oxford if Staunton cannot be found. Holmes has to admit that sport is outside his field, but he shows the same care he has shown to his other cases.

    Meet Detectives Slater and Norman, an unlikely crime-solving duo. They might seem like they have nothing in common, except a love of doughnuts and banter. But they never give up on a case, no matter how tough things get . . . 
     
    A body falls from the sky — landing in the woods by sleepy little Tinton. 
     
    Detective Dave Slater is halfway to the pub when he gets the call. He’s needed out at Haunted Copse, where a dogwalker just stumbled on something terrible. A body among the trees. It looks like the victim fell to her death. Almost like she dropped out of a plane. 
     
    And that’s not all. Amid all the commotion, the dog also dug up a bone. A human bone. Forensics then turn up two more bodies at the same scene. 
     
    So now Slater and Norman don’t just have one murder on their hands. They’ve got three. 
     
    One body’s unfortunate. Two’s a bit of a coincidence. But three—? 
     
    There’s surely a punchline in there somewhere. If Slater and Norman weren’t so busy chasing a killer. 
     
    Can they catch the culprit before the body count becomes sky-high? 
     
    This absolutely gripping detective mystery full of twists and turns is perfect for fans of Rachel McLean, J.D. Kirk, Pauline Rowson, Elly Griffiths, Matt Brolly and Simon McCleave.

    An unscrupulous realtor pays the ultimate closing costs in the new Cranberry Cove Mystery from USA Today bestselling author Peg Cochran! 
     
     
     
    Autumn is settling in on Cranberry Cove, but things are starting to heat up when Monica's stepmother shows up at her back door gripped by panic. Gasping out an explanation, she tells Monica she'd been dozing in her realtor's car when he was shot dead. Refusing to alert the police for fear that the killer will target her next—or that the police will consider her their prime suspect—Monica's stepmother goes mute, and Monica decides to track down the culprit herself to clear her name and keep her safe. 
     
     
     
    Finding the killer won't be so easy, though, as the victim had run afoul of buyers, sellers, and even other realtors at one time or another, and it seems that nearly everyone in the small town had a reason to want him dead. Even more puzzling is that the deeper Monica digs into the background and final days of the victim, the more the clues point to her stepmother. Then a second body is found, and Monica realizes she's going up against a devious killer who will stop at nothing to put everyone involved out of commission . . .

    Five new pastiche stories of the world's greatest detective. These stories are shorter than the other novellas in the New Sherlock Holmes Mysteries set and were published earlier in either the MX Books or Belanger Books anthologies of Sherlock Holmes stories (Edited by David Marcum). 'The Singular Tragedy of the Atkinson Brothers at Trincomalee' is one of the unpublished cases we hear about in The Canon. The story Takes Holmes and Watson to the tropical island of Ceylon on behalf of the Foreign Office to investigate the murder of one of the Atkinson brothers and sends Holmes into a nasty web of deceit, murder, and perversion in the heat of the colonies. In 'The Barrel of Lagavulin' the adventures of Sherlock Holmes meet up with characters from the tales of Edgar Allan Poe and we learn what happens long after the horrendous events recorded in 'The Cask of Amontillado.' Did you ever wonder what happened to the characters from the Vermissa Valley that you read about in 'The Valley of Fear?" In 'The Fear of Retribution' you will find out, and it is not pleasant. 'The Adventure of the Winchester Heart-Breaker' takes Holmes and Watson back to the Copper Beeches and to what happened to the nasty child who loved to go 'smack, smack, smack' on the cockroaches. 'The Adventure of the Tea-Stained Diamonds' is a completely new Sherlock Holmes mystery in which Holmes needs to stop a cycle of revenge killings that began years earlier in the tea gardens of Darjeeling. If you love the stories of Sherlock Holmes, these five new mysteries will appeal to you
