Sinopsis

Things get murky when a ferry captain is found dead in the water in this mystery starring Inspector Littlejohn, “the model of a calm, rational policeman” (Publishers Weekly).   After a ferry to Falbright carrying forty people runs aground, the skipper is nowhere to be found. When the ferry pilot is discovered under a pier with a knife in his back, Inspector Littlejohn is called in. But he and Sergeant Cromwell are struggling to find clues. Some of the villagers seem to be going out of their way to mislead the police, and there are secrets dating back to the war that need to be unearthed or the entire investigation could be sunk . . .   “When you get a George Bellairs story you get something worth reading.” —Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch

    🧵 Notions shop owner and sewing supply expert Zippy Martin is preparing for the annual Craft Expo when the expo's main organizer—a ruthless sewing machine magnate—is found dead in her store, strangled with a measuring tape from her own notions wall. The police suspect a robbery gone wrong, but Zippy notices the tape measure has been deliberately altered and the victim's expo notes contain coded messages about supply chain manipulation. With her notions shop temporarily closed and the crafting community in stitches, Zippy must pin down the truth before her business unravels completely. Assisted by her sewing circle and the handsome industrial designer analyzing the compromised tools, Zippy uncovers a scheme involving counterfeit sewing notions, stolen fastener patents, and a plot to monopolize the craft supply market. From suspicious thread spools with inconsistent yardage to zipper teeth that don't match manufacturer specifications, every notion tells a story. But when Zippy discovers the victim was systematically driving small notions shops out of business to create a crafting monopoly, she realizes the killer is protecting local businesses from a corporate takeover. With the craft expo days away and the real culprit still snapping up secrets, Zippy must measure up as a sleuth before her own shop gets permanently buttoned up.

    Another nail-biter from best-selling author Willow Rose! It was supposed to be the happiest day of her life when her kidnapped daughter returned, but it wasn’t. Fourteen years ago, Clarissa Smalls was born, and a few hours later, she was taken from the hospital. Kidnapped. Her mother searched desperately for her for years, but she never found her. Until now. When Clarissa Smalls is suddenly found in the swamps of Central Florida, badly bruised and confused, it is cause for much joy and celebration in her family, especially with her mother, who has waited 14 years to see her baby girl again. Little did she know that this day would end up being the worst in her life. Because Clarissa doesn’t want to know about her mother, she refuses to talk to anyone, and won’t tell the police what happened to her. When another baby girl is kidnapped from the same hospital in the same manner, the police believe it’s the same kidnapper who took Clarissa. Suddenly, time is of the essence to make her answer the many questions that are piling up. Where was she for 14 years? Who took her? Why won’t she tell them who her kidnapper is? The FBI brings in former profiler Eva Rae Thomas to help them in this very peculiar case. Eva Rae Thomas knows the girl’s mother very well and is willing to go to great lengths to help her out, even though the two of them share an unpleasant history. Eva Rae Thomas’ sister recently came back into her life after being kidnapped 35 years ago, so the FBI hopes she can contribute with a deeper understanding of the situation and maybe get through to Clarissa. Little could she have known that soon she would wish that she never got involved in this, as the case becomes very personal for her.
