  What holds more secrets in the library—the ancient books shelved in the stacks or the people who preserve them? 
   
  Liesl Weiss long ago learned to be content working behind the scenes in the distinguished rare books department of a large university, quietly managing details to make the head of the department look good. But when her boss has a  
  stroke and she’s left to run things, she discovers that the library’s most prized manuscript is missing. 
   
  Liesl tries to sound the alarm and inform the police about the missing priceless book but is told repeatedly to keep quiet, to keep the doors open and the donors happy. But then a librarian unexpectedly stops showing up to work. Liesl must  
  investigate both disappearances, unspooling her colleagues’ pasts like the threads of a rare book binding as it becomes clear that someone in the department must be responsible for the theft. What Liesl discovers about the dusty manuscripts she  
  has worked among for so long—and about the people who care for and revere them—shakes the very foundation on which she has built her life. 
   
  The Department of Rare Books and Special Collections is a sparkling debut novel about a woman struggling to step out from behind the shadows of powerful andunreliable men and reveals the dark edge of obsession running through the most devoted bookworms.

  How do you stop a killer you can't even see? 
  It's been two years since Detective Marissa Ambrose nearly lost her life working the Couple’s Killer case, but time hasn't stopped the vivid nightmares. She still carries the heavy guilt of her partner's death, and the Seattle Police Department refuses to support her theory that the suspect they arrested had an accomplice. With her ex-husband regretfully out of the picture, Marissa was supposed to be focusing on adjusting back to something resembling normalcy in her quiet tourist town. Then the letters came. 
  Unmarked envelopes full of photographs have been arriving at Marissa's door. Candid shots of her at home. Now, Marissa is certain the missing murderer is stalking her, tracking her every move to finish what he started. As she obsesses over the strange images, the Seattle PD unexpectedly asks for her help. A serial killer is on the loose and targeting members of the Port Townsend community. Despite a personal connection to the first victim, Marissa agrees to pin her badge on once more. 
  The photographs are piling up and the suspect can't be seen by surveillance cameras. Like a ghost, this killer is haunting her.

  The Red House Mystery

  Authors all too often become the victims of their own success, forever associated with only a handful of their works which are a relatively small part of an otherwise prolific output. For an author of successful plays and novels as A.A. Milne was, to be then only known as a children's writer was an annoyance to say the least. Yet it comes as no surprise that in Milne's 1922 book "The Red House Mystery" we find much of the warmth and wit that was a few years later to characterize his children's writing in The" Winnie The Pooh" books; albeit in the very different setting of a murder mystery! 
  Here is a classic "locked room" conundrum with a delicious twist in the tale. 
  Narrated by Simon Hester. With original music.
