Heretics

G.K. Chesterton

Sinopsis

G. K. Chesterton was an English writer, journalist, philosopher, poet and lay theologian. He delighted in standing conventional wisdom on its head in order to expose what he considered to be the lack of substance in the "vague modern." In Heretics , he touches on a range of topics, including social Darwinism, eugenics, nihilism and atheism, while enumerating the flaws he finds in the work of his intellectual contemporaries such as Rudyard Kipling , Friedrich Nietzsche , George Bernard Shaw , and H. G. Wells . G. K. Chesterton (died 1936) was a major literary figure of the early 20th century. Their work has endured across generations and continues to be read and studied worldwide. The nonfiction literature of previous centuries offers invaluable windows into the minds and preoccupations of earlier ages. Heretics combines the personal and the universal in ways that continue to resonate with contemporary readers seeking to understand both history and human nature.

A Deed of Dreadful Note

Patricia Meredith

Fifteen years before Sir Arthur Conan Doyle published A Study in Scarlet, Anna Katharine Green began writing The Leavenworth Case, inspiring the creation of detectives like Sherlock, Poirot, and Wimsey, as well as almost every device and convention we now recognize as standard in detective mystery fiction. 
When her father's client is found murdered, Anna takes up the call to prove innocent the young girl accused of the murder. The investigation inspires many of the events, characters, and descriptions that would later be published in her debut novel. 
A love letter to mystery and writing itself, A Deed of Dreadful Note is an homage and reintroduction to an author who was the Agatha Christie of her time but a forgotten female today. 
This book is a fictionalized account of how Anna Katharine Green’s first novel may have come to be… 
A Deed of Dreadful Note is Book One in the Anna Katharine Green Mysteries, the only historical fiction series featuring the Mother of Detective Fiction.

The Heiress of Baxter Ranch - A...

Heather Cullum

Chastity March only wanted a quiet life at Baxter Ranch, raising her children far from the shadows of her past. But when Morgan Baxter leaves her control of his estate, his land, and the secrets he spent years protecting, Chastity is pulled into a brutal fight against relatives determined to take everything from her. 
 
The challenge to the will is only the beginning. As accusations grow darker and hidden files begin to surface, Chastity discovers that Morgan’s final plans reach far beyond a family fortune. Political power, prison corruption, buried crimes, and old betrayals all lead back to the ranch—and to the secrets Chastity has guarded for years. 
 
Lieutenant Commander Kenton Stone returns home after his uncle’s death expecting grief, paperwork, and answers. Instead, he finds Chastity stronger, more guarded, and more vulnerable than he remembers. Their past is complicated, their attraction unresolved, and the truth between them could change everything. 
 
As enemies close in and the danger becomes personal, Chastity must decide who to trust, what to reveal, and how far she will go to protect the people she loves. 
 
The Heiress of Baxter Ranch is a second-chance romantic suspense about inheritance, forbidden love, family secrets, survival, and the courage it takes to face the truth.

The Big Sugar - A Brigid Reardon...

Mary Logue

After the harrowing events that entangled her in Deadwood, Brigid Reardon just wants to move west and get on with her new life in America. But shortly after traveling to Cheyenne to join her brother Seamus, she finds herself caught up in another deadly mystery—beginning with her discovery of a neighbor's body on the plains near their homes. Was Ella murdered? Are either of the two men in Ella's life responsible? With Seamus away on a cattle drive, her friend Padraic possibly succumbing to a local's charms, and the sheriff seemingly satisfied with Ella's fate, it falls to Brigid to investigate what really happened, which puts her in the crosshairs of one of Cheyenne's cattle barons, called "big sugars" in these parts. All she really wants is something better than a crumbling, soddy homestead on the desolate plains of Wyoming—and maybe, just maybe, she wants Padraic—but life, it seems, has other plans: this young immigrant from Ireland is going to be a detective on the western frontier of 1880s America, even if it kills her. 
 
 
 
Loosely based on the true story of Ellen Watson in Cheyenne in 1889, The Big Sugar continues the adventure begun in Mary Logue's celebrated mystery The Streel, which introduced a "gritty, charming, clever protagonist" (Kirkus Reviews).
