Beschreibung

Two murders had been committed there in times gone by. There had been an interval of more than a few years between the two killings, and the one was in no way connected with the other except as to locale—for which reason, those who remembered and were superstitiously minded always claimed that some day sooner or later that same locale would inevitably be the scene of a third murder.
Its location—on a side street just off Washington Square—afforded a certain seclusion and, for New York, a comparatively quiet retreat. Colin Hewitt was not superstitious; nor, indeed, was the previous tenant from whom, as it were, he had inherited the place—a fellow writer who, some two years ago, had left New York to make his home in the south of France.

What happens when freedom is just a brand—and democracy a memory? 
Authoritarianism by Design is a searing and timely historical fiction novel that exposes the engineered erosion of democracy in modern-day America. Through the lives of Black, Latino, Asian, and White citizens—students, veterans, immigrants, mothers, and resistance leaders—author Michael J. Henderson weaves a powerful narrative that explores systemic oppression, political corruption, and the fight for justice in a society that was never designed to be equal. 
From backroom deals to constitutional crises, from the silencing of dissent to the rewriting of truth, this novel lays bare the mechanics of power: how laws are weaponized, fear is marketed, and freedom is sold to the highest bidder. At the heart of the story is a resistance—a coalition of ordinary people who refuse to be erased, choosing instead to rise, resist, and reclaim their voices. 
Both hauntingly prophetic and unapologetically raw, this is more than fiction—it’s a call to action. 
Perfect for readers who appreciate: 
Political fiction with real-world relevance 
Narratives about race, power, and activism 
Social justice storytelling with emotional depth 
The courage of everyday heroes and marginalized voices

Is it Stalin's Soviet Union? Pol Pot's Cambodia? Kim Jong Il's North Korea? Incredibly, it's twenty-first-century London. 
In a monstrous twist of fate, Johnny has been targeted by the local council, who believe that he no longer has the right to claim unemployment benefits unless he can "provide proof of actively searching for gainful employment." 
However, this is merely the beginning of the misfortunes that befall Johnny. Not only is his best friend murdered, but he also has to contemplate the real possibility of full-time employment. 
In a desperate race against time to prevent his unemployment benefits from being cut off, Johnny becomes instrumental in helping to purge London's Metropolitan Police of the corruption rife within its ranks.

A haunting Sherlock Holmes mystery that blends secrecy, compassion, and chilling revelation. The Adventure of the Veiled Lodger follows Dr. Watson as he recounts one of Holmes’s most unsettling cases: a woman who hides her disfigured face behind a constant veil and lives in isolation, burdened by a terrible past. As Holmes uncovers the truth behind her self-imposed imprisonment, the story shifts from conventional detective work to a powerful meditation on justice, mercy, and the human cost of violence. Atmospheric, psychologically rich, and deeply humane, this late Holmes tale showcases Arthur Conan Doyle at his most restrained and emotionally resonant—essential reading for fans of classic mystery and literary suspense.

A youth trip turns deadly, and Chief of Police Arly Hanks must catch the killer while serving as chaperone, in this hilarious small-town mystery. 
 
 
 
Arly Hanks has caught all sorts of killers since she returned home to Maggody, Arkansas, population 759, but she's never tangled with anyone as devious as the local youth group. While chaperoning a trip to Camp Pearly Gates, Arly watches the kids as closely as she would any hardened criminal, but when teenagers have a mind to get into trouble, there's nothing a police chief can do but limit the damage. She's just about got the situation under control when one of the kids finds a body, and all hell breaks loose in classic Maggody manner. 
 
 
  
The murdered woman sports a shaved head and a white robe, marking her as a Moonbeam, a member of a particularly kooky local cult. And caught between the sect and the law, Arly may be forced to sacrifice what little sanity she has left. 
 
 
  
Nobody pokes fun at religion quite as effectively as Joan Hess. This is another laugh-out-loud entry in one of the funniest mystery series of all time.
