Reputation

Feral Sephrian

Sinopse

Claudius's family, the Calherns, already have a reputation as the more generous of the noble families in Rubifeld, but Claudius wants an even stronger legacy. He finds his opportunity begging in one of the properties the Calherns own: Simon, a young disabled artist. Claudius is immediately taken with the talent Simon displays drawing on simple scraps of paper, ad so he offers Simon a position at the Calhern estate as their live-in artist, which not only gets the poor lad off the street but also provides a glowing example of the household's support for arts and culture.
As Claudius learns more about Simon, his affection for the artist grows. He doesn't simply want Simon around to boost his family's reputation anymore; he wants to see Simon happy and taken care of, whether that involves treating him to a day of shopping or simply providing him with ample paint and pencils and sketchbooks. Then one day Claudius finds something unexpected drawn in one of Simon's sketchbooks, and he fears it could put Simon's new position in jeopardy. Does he dare question Simon about the drawings, or will he forget it all for the sake of keeping Simon around?

A Deadly Walk in Devon

Nicholas George

After a long career as a detective in San Diego, Rick “Chase” Chasen has traded in his badge for a change of scenery in the coastal comforts of Devon, England, until a local murder takes him on a deadly detour …

Still grieving the death of his long-time partner, Chase reunites with his dear friend and fellow Anglophile Billie Mondreau for a seacoast holiday of historic sightseeing. Assigned a pair of guides from the tour company Wanderers, Chase and Billie join seven other like-minded Americans looking forward to an English getaway. All except for Ronald Gretz. The wealthy entrepreneur behind the international Golden Sunset nursing-home chain doesn’t like anything about walking, touring, or England. Coarse and opinionated, Gretz’s complaints get on the nerves of his fellow Wanderers—and his long-suffering trophy wife.

But Gretz’s gripes are tied to his own nerves being frayed. He has been receiving threatening texts and emails signed “An Avenger.” Convinced someone means him harm, Gretz asks Chase to watch his back. Soon, Gretz falls afoul of several “accidents,” leading to more friction with the other walkers. Until one final “accident” results in Gretz dead at the bottom of a cliff.

Chase, whose investigative instincts remain sharp, knows Gretz’s death was no accident. While helping the police investigate, he discovers that members of the tour group not only disliked the victim but had legitimate motives for wanting him dead. Now, he just has to uncover who among them is willing to kill …

“You’ll want to walk just about anywhere with retired police detective Rick ‘Chase’ Chasen, a modern day Hercule Poirot.”—Lee Hollis, Author of Poppy Harmon and the Shooting Star
