  In Gallup, New Mexico, where violent crime is five times the national average, a serial killer is operating unchecked, his targets indigent Native people whose murders are easily disguised as death by exposure on the frigid winter streets. He slips unnoticed through town, hidden in plain sight by his unassuming nature, while the voices in his head guide him toward a terrifying vision of glory. As the Gallup detectives struggle to put the pieces together, they consider calling in a controversial specialist to help. 
   
  Rita Todacheene, Albuquerque PD forensic photographer, is at a crisis point in her career. Her colleagues are watching her with suspicion after the recent revelation that she can see the ghosts of murder victims.

And back home in Tohatchi on the Navajo reservation, Rita’s grandma is getting older. Maybe it’s time for her to leave policework behind entirely—if only the ghosts will let her.

  “Pure unadulterated fun” (Publishers Weekly) for fans of Ashley Weaver,  
  Deanna Raybourn, and Tasha Alexander, the Agatha Award–winning Countess  
  of Harleigh Mysteries are a witty romp through the high society of Victorian  
  England with a touch of romance, an independent female lead, and rich  
  historical detail. In this charming historical mystery, Frances Wynn, the  
  American-born Countess of Harleigh, finds her wedding day overshadowed by  
  murder … 
  On the eve of her marriage to George Hazelton, Frances has a great deal more on  
  her mind than flowers and seating arrangements. The Connors and the  
  Bainbridges, two families of American robber barons, have taken up residence in  
  London, and their bitter rivalry is spilling over into the highest social circles. At the  
  request of her brother, Alonzo, who is quite taken with Miss Madeline Connor,  
  Frances has invited the Connor family to her wedding. Meanwhile, Frances’s  
  mother has invited Mr. Bainbridge, and Frances fears the nuptials may end up  
  being newspaper-worthy for all the wrong reasons. 
  On the day itself, Frances is relieved that Madeline’s father is not among the  
  guests at the church. The reason, however, is most unfortunate: Mr. Connor is  
  found murdered in his home. More shocking still, Alonzo is caught at the scene— 
  holding the murder weapon. 
  Powerful and ruthless, Connor appears to have amassed a wealth of enemies.  
  Frances and George put their wedding trip on hold to try and clear Alonzo’s name.  
  But there are secrets to sift through, not just in the feuding families, but also in  
  their own. With a killer determined to evade discovery—even if it means taking  
  another life—Frances’s newlywed days will be perilous indeed …

  "The Masque of the Red Death", originally published as "The Mask of the Red Death: A Fantasy", is an 1842 short story by American writer Edgar Allan Poe. The story follows Prince Prospero's attempts to avoid a dangerous plague, known as the Red Death, by hiding in his abbey. He, along with many other wealthy nobles, hosts a masquerade ballwithin seven rooms of the abbey, each decorated with a different color. In the midst of their revelry, a mysterious figure disguised as a Red Death victim enters and makes his way through each of the rooms. Prospero dies after confronting this stranger, whose "costume" proves to contain nothing tangible inside it; the guests also die in turn.Poe's story follows many traditions of Gothic fiction and is often analyzed as an allegory about the inevitability of death, though some critics advise against an allegorical reading. Many different interpretations have been presented, as well as attempts to identify the true nature of the titular disease. The story was first published in May 1842 in Graham's Magazineand has since been adapted in many different forms, including a 1964 film starring Vincent Price. Edgar Allan Poe is also famous for such works as ''The Raven'', "The Cask of Amontillado", "The Fall of the House of Usher", "The Masque of the Red Death", "The Pit and the Pendulum", "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", "The Tell-Tale Heart", "The Gold-Bug", "The Black Cat", "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar", "Hop-Frog" and many more.
