  Tales Of Unrest

  Joseph Conrad

  Joseph Conrad was a Polish-British writer regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. He came to be regarded a master prose stylist who brought a non-English sensibility into English literature. He wrote stories and novels, many with a nautical setting, that depict trials of the human spirit in the midst of what he saw as an impassive, inscrutable universe.Conrad is considered a literary impressionist by some and an early modernist by others, though his works also contain elements of 19th-century realism. His narrative style and anti-heroic characters, as in Lord Jim, for example, have influenced numerous authors. Many dramatic films have been adapted from and inspired by his works. Numerous writers and critics have commented that his fictional works, written largely in the first two decades of the 20th century, seem to have anticipated later world events.Writing near the peak of the British Empire, Conrad drew on the national experiences of his native Poland—during nearly all his life, parceled out among three occupying empires—and on his own experiences in the French and British merchant navies, to create short stories and novels that reflect aspects of a European-dominated world—including imperialism and colonialism—and that profoundly explore the human psyche.

  It’s the deadliest time of the year… 
  Samantha’s boyfriend, Leo, is back in town and she’s ready for some alone time with him over the holidays. Three things are preventing Sam from getting her yuletide wish: 
  1. There’s a town hall proposition to kick Sam out of her apartment, citing her as a hazard to downtown. 
  2, Santa’s body is discovered in one of the giant presents downtown, proving Santa made it onto someone’s naughty list this year, not the other way around. 
  3. The murder at the Christmas market brings Wind River’s most profitable annual event and the following parade to a screeching halt. 
  As much as Sam was really hoping to sit this case out, she’s been deputized and forced on the job before she can say ho ho no. But, really, who would kill St. Nick? And that’s not the only mystery giving Sam trouble. Parade floats are being vandalized, local Instagram cats have gone missing, and that fire bomb? That had nothing to do with her—no matter what the townspeople say. 
  Things snowball quickly, and soon the only thing Sam’s sure of is that she’d better unwrap this case or she’ll be getting something much worse than coal this Christmas.

  "An exhilarating, can't miss, one-sit read that'll stay with you long after turning the final page!" - Ryan Steck, The Real Book Spy 
  Ten years ago, legendary author Riley Cannon produced three of the best-selling thriller novels of all-time. Then, she vanished, leaving the final three books of the saga unfinished and producing the biggest mystery in the history of publishing. Now, a decade later, there is word from her mega-agent, the glamorous and powerful Topaz Kennedy, that a new Cannon novel is all-but-finished. But, Topaz knows the truth: Riley Cannon hasn’t even started the book. With the clock counting down to the publication date, desperate measures are needed… 
  Meanwhile, in the sunrise-side town of Hampstead, Michigan, thirty-five-year-old Kaj Reynard emerges from Lake Huron on a cool June night and falls face down on the beach next to a fading bonfire—with a knife stuck in his back. Who murdered him? And why? 
  Enter veteran Hampstead P.I. Obadiah Ben-David, a man who has never taken on a case that he couldn’t solve. But this mystery is different. The only piece of evidence is the knife, which has no prints. Not a soul saw or heard a boat that night, and the woman sitting by her bonfire did not see anyone else in the water. It is almost as if the deep blue waters of Lake Huron killed Kaj Reynard, and the Huron breezes blew him to shore. 
  With Hampstead in jeopardy of losing its summer revenue from vacationers who are chilled to their bones of a murderer on the loose, Ben-David takes on an apprentice—a computer coder, Rachel Roberts, who lives down the beach from where Kaj came ashore. Bored by her solitary existence behind a screen all day, Rachel thinks that becoming a P.I. would be a welcome sea change in her own life. But neither of them can foresee the tangled web of lies, treachery, and danger they will encounter. 
  For when the summer Huron breezes arrive, no one is safe.
