Summary

5. EXECUTE THE SENTENCE - WANDERER DETECTIVE SERIES

A bloody escape from a prisoner transport vehicle plunges the city into chaos. Four merciless fugitives, led by the hardened Kenshoff, are at large, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. With the police hot on their trail, they are desperate for an escape and will do anything, and hurt anyone, to secure it.

Far from the scene of violence, the renowned private detective, Obed de Swardt, the legendary wanderer detective, is enjoying a tranquil evening with his closest friends. The gathering is, however, suddenly and brutally shattered when Kenshoff and his cronies descend upon the home, searching for car keys. In a moment of courage, Obed’s friends turn the tables, gaining the upper hand on the dangerous criminals. But then, in a shocking turn of events that leaves his friends stunned, Obed does the unthinkable. He betrays them, siding with the convicted saboteurs. Why would a man of his stature turn his back on everything to help cold-blooded murderers?

Obed is drawn deeper into an underworld of deceit and vengeance. He discovers the escapees are not merely fleeing, but are also hunting a mysterious syndicate that betrayed them. Alliances shift as swiftly as flying bullets when a beautiful yet lethal female mastermind appears on the scene. She is a player with her own deadly agenda, one who completely changes the rules of the game. Caught between the police hunting him as an accomplice, the unstable criminals who could kill him at any moment, and a powerful organisation that tolerates no witnesses, Obed must rely on his razor-sharp instincts to survive. In this deadly situation, where the line between friend and foe blurs, one thing is certain. Before the sun rises, blood will flow. The only question is, whose sentence will ultimately be carried out?

The Cat Saw Murder

Dolores Hitchens, Joyce Carol Oates

When Rachel Murdock and her sister Jennifer receive a call for help from their favorite niece, Lilly, in Breakers Beach, California, they quickly hop a train from Los Angeles to see her—but not before collecting their prized cat Samantha in a picnic basket and bringing her along for the ride. Samatha, it turns out, is an heiress, the inheritor of a fortune left by a wealthy relative, and so the attempt at the cat's life, made right after they arrive, comes as a shock. The cat survives, but unfortunately, Lilly, murdered soon thereafter, is not so lucky. 
 
 
 
By the time the police arrive, the clues are already falling into place. The source of Lilly's trouble is revealed to be a gambling debt incurred during an attempt to cheat at bridge, and the suspects in her slaying quickly pile up. But then another corpse is discovered, buried in the nearby sand, and it becomes clear that the killing spree concerns more than just the young lady's personal money trouble. With the authorities distracted by lurid details, it's up to Rachel and her furry friend to uncover the subtleties containing the solution to the puzzle. 
 
 
 
A prototypical early "cat mystery," written before the subgenre became a staple of cozy mystery fiction, The Cat Saw Murder is an entertaining and endlessly surprising whodunit.

New Adventures of Sherlock...

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Nora Godwin

The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - Volume 4:
Throughout many years, Dr. John H. Watson accompanied his friend and companion Sherlock Holmes in solving countless mysteries and crimes. Beginning in the 1880s and into the 20th century, Holmes consistently held his status as the world’s most brilliant and successful detective. His accomplishments were painstakingly chronicled by Watson in notes that relate the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Many of his accounts have been published and are well-known to a broad readership.
There were times, however, when Watson would refrain from publishing his writings during his lifetime. He would do so for various reasons: At times, he would find himself forced to keep actual events and background information secret for moral, criminal, or financial reasons. Other times, he would want to either avoid potential political, legal, or social scandals or even damage to his own—or Holmes’s—reputation. Some of Watson’s accounts, however, were simply not published at the time because he was occupied with more important or urgent matters.
The New Adventures brings to the public for the very first time some of Watson’s accounts of Sherlock Holmes cases previously kept under lock and key.
