  Lucy Harrington has returned to Kurland St. Mary to help with her friend Sophia Giffin's wedding.

  "The Last Pilgrim" concludes the Rake's Progress Trilogy with a masterful exploration of redemption, family, and adaptation in a rapidly changing world. 
  When Jack Drummond's ex-wife orchestrates his arrest through Interpol, his carefully constructed world begins to crumble. His imprisonment in Belmarsh threatens not just his business empire but his most precious relationship – with his children. Released but blacklisted by London's financial establishment, Jack must rebuild from nothing while protecting his son Tristan from his mother's destructive influence and supporting his daughter Alice's humanitarian ambitions. 
  The story spans a transformative decade, from the early promise of cryptocurrency to the rise of artificial intelligence and the stark realities of war in Ukraine. Through these sweeping changes, Jack navigates the complexities of fatherhood, love, and survival. His relationship with Svetlana, a Ukrainian woman whose family becomes caught in the war, adds depth to his journey of personal growth. 
  Stuart-Douglas draws on his intimate knowledge of both old and new money to craft a narrative that seamlessly moves from the hunting fields of Wiltshire to the beach clubs of Tulum, from London boardrooms to war-torn Bucha. The author brings authenticity to every scene, whether describing international finance, English country traditions, or the brutal realities of modern warfare. 
  "The Last Pilgrim" is ultimately about transformation – personal, professional, and societal. It explores finding hope in destruction's aftermath, love in loss's shadow, and purpose in uncertainty. Stuart-Douglas has created a compelling finale that bridges high finance, family drama, and international politics, offering both entertainment and thoughtful examination of how we navigate change in an increasingly complex world.

  In this hilarious cozy mystery, small-town police chief Arly Hanks tries to stop a right-wing militia from turning Maggody into a battlefield. 
   
   
   
  The sign welcoming travelers to Maggody, Arkansas, reads "Pop. 755," and don't expect Hizzoner Jim Bob to repaint it just because there’s someone new in town. The mayor won't go out of his way for anyone, especially someone wicked—and a woman who would open a pawnshop in Maggody must be very wicked indeed. Kayleen Smeltner decided to open the shop after her husband was killed during a burglary. She came to Maggody expecting peace and quiet, but she'll find this quaint little patch of nowhere isn't as peaceful as it seems. 
   
   
    
  When a right-wing militia takes up residence in the pasture behind the pawnshop, police chief Arly Hanks knows it's only a matter of time before the bullets start to fly. The strange citizens of Maggody are on the verge of civil war, and it will only take one spark to set the town ablaze. 
   
   
    
  There's no politics like small-town politics, and there's no town on earth like Maggody. This madcap take on right-wing militias is one of Joan Hess's most topical—and outrageous—mysteries yet.

  A desperate woman, determined to prove her worth to the agency. An ex-outlaw and seasoned agent who only works alone.

  When Victoria Gordon finds out her brother, Detective Archibald Gordon, is pairing his agents with wives in an effort to integrate women into the field, she can’t pass up the opportunity to join the Pinkertons. Besides living a life on the outside, always looking in, Victoria’s admired one particular agent—Mav Jones—for far too long. With the help of her brother’s secretary, Victoria finds a way to scheme her way into the agency, but can she scheme her way into the heart of one of the agency’s most dangerous men? 
  Mav Jones isn’t happy about the idea of female agents; he’s known too many silly women. So when Archie convinces Mav to marry for the sake of a case, Mav agrees but only under certain conditions. He determines the marriage is strictly business, but his new wife is surprisingly familiar, all too beautiful, and in deeper trouble than she realizes. 
  Thrust into the 1871-San Francisco world of stolen and smuggled goods, enemies and allies, truth and lies, can Mav and Victoria navigate their way without falling into harm’s way and into each other’s arms?
