Sinopse

The suspenseful sequel to the genre-defining The Mystery of the Yellow Room Set in a medieval castle on the Côte d’Azur, this classic locked room mystery reunites journalist-turned-detective Joseph Rouletabille; Mathilde Stangerson, daughter of a famed French-American scientist; and master of disguise Frédéric Larsan.   Stangerson and her sweetheart Robert Darzac have just married and taken up residence in the Square Tower of the Fort of Hercules when Larsan strikes again. The attack leaves Stangerson frightened and confused, not only because she thought her nemesis dead, but also because she cannot figure out how he entered and escaped her room without notice. Only one man is capable of matching wits with Larsan, but when Rouletabille arrives in the South of France to investigate, he finds himself drawn deeper into his own past and his memories of a mysterious woman in black.   Best known as the creator of The Phantom of the Opera, author Gaston Leroux takes the locked room mystery to terrifying new heights in The Perfume of the Lady in Black.   This ebook features a new introduction by Otto Penzler and has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

    Escaping the city doesn’t mean escaping the criminals… 
    1916, Midwinter Manor: Desperate for a Christmas weekend break from war-torn London, Hannah Merrill and her Aunt Violet take Bartleby the cat and themselves off to visit Hannah’s sister, in her beautiful country estate, deep in the English countryside. 
    The huge house is full of relatives, friends and merrymakers, and everyone’s excited to have a Christmas to remember. 
    But then, when a fellow-guest’s body is found in the library – apparently bludgeoned to death – and a precious ruby is stolen from another guest, it appears that it’s going to be memorable for all the wrong reasons. 
    With the house snowed in, and the rural police force completely incapable of finding a single credible suspect, Hannah and Aunt Violet realise that once again it’s going to be down to them to get to the bottom of it. 
    Because whoever’s behind the crimes must be at Midwinter Manor… And if they’re not found, who knows what their next ‘gift’ will be?

    When K-9 Officer Eden Mercer enrolls in an elite search and rescue training course in remote Juniper Wells, Arizona, she has a hidden agenda.

    As more disturbing evidence emerges, Eden discovers that beneath the town's rustic facade lies a web of deception and violence.

    The closer she gets to the truth, the more she realizes both paths could be leading her straight into a trap. 
    Can Eden and Shadow uncover who's behind the murder before they become the next targets? Or will her desperate bid to reunite with her family cost her everything? 
    Dive into "Twisted Pursuit" and lose yourself in a pulse-pounding tale of loyalty, redemption, and the price of confronting the past.
