  OLD SINS CAST LONG SHADOWS 
  Normally dead bodies in a graveyard are buried—but not this one. When a woman is found strangled in a North London cemetery with an old newspaper clipping clutched in her hand, Inspector Witherspoon is surprised to find that he and the victim have crossed paths before. 
  Alice Robinson was a respectable widow who ran a quiet Islington lodging house. None of her lodgers have any apparent motive to murder their landlady. But nagging suspicions are lodging in the Inspector's mind—only he knows that "Alice Robinson" is not her real name. Now he'll need the help of Mrs. Jeffries to revisit an old case that has haunted him for years and to get the real story.

  In "Magdalene," the compelling next chapter of The Addlestone Chronicles, the veil is lifted on a shadow that has lingered over Europe: the harrowing reality of the Irish Magdalene Laundries, and their sinister legacy that endured until the close of the 20th century. This narrative not only delves into the heart of Nazi ambitions but also casts a revealing light on the parallels between the tumult of the 1930s and the unsettling political winds of today. 
  James and Louise Harcourt-Heath return, their journey as British spies and philanthropists taking them into the darkest corners of history and human cruelty. With Europe on the brink, their quest is twofold: to thwart the Nazis' designs on Ireland as a strategic ally and to disrupt the appalling Lebensborn programme's efforts to ensnare Irish girls in its web. 
  Set against a backdrop of espionage and resilience, "Magdalene" explores the chilling misuse of power—both by the Nazis and within the infamous Magdalene Laundries. These institutions, masquerading as refuges, subjected countless girls and women to unimaginable abuse, all under the guise of penitence. 
  Through the indomitable spirit of its protagonists, "Magdalene" confronts the evils of the past, drawing stark lines to the echoes of fascism and authoritarianism rising in the early 21st century. From the United States to the heartlands of Europe—UK, France, Italy, Poland—and the iron grip of Putin's Russia, the novel is a timely reminder of the vigilance required to guard against the resurgence of ideologies that seek to divide and dominate. 
  "Magdalene" is more than a historical thriller; it is a poignant call to remember and resist, to acknowledge the shadows of history so that they may never be cast again. Join James and Louise in their most personal and challenging mission yet, as they navigate the complexities of morality, justice, and courage in the face of overwhelming darkness.

  Fifteen-year-old Rachael Donahue-abandoned by society, raised in foster homes, and violently unapproachable-has been discovered, dead, at the bottom of a stairwell at Firebird, the secure facility for juvenile offenders in Cleveland. For Maggie and Jack, her death comes with a disturbing twist-the girl may have been involved with a much older man. But Rachael's not the only resident at the center to come to a dead end. Firebird's ten-year-old wild child has overdosed in the infirmary-back-to-back tragedies that appear to be terrible accidents. As a forensic investigator, Maggie knows appearances can be deceiving. And Jack knows all about deceit. That's why they both suspect a cold-blooded murderer is carrying out a deadly agenda. As Maggie's ex-husband gets nearer to uncovering the secrets that Maggie and Jack must hide, it becomes increasingly difficult for them to protect a new vulnerable victim from a killer with unfathomable demons.

  Octogenarian retired bureaucrat and widower - Mr. Krishna Majumdar, suddenly passed away in his sleep, as the circumstances seem to suggest. But his son suspected foul play after scanning the death certificate report, which reported the time of demise to be much early than Majumdars' usual sleeping time. Majumdars' son had been living in the United States, and thus Mr. Majumdar was living all alone during the last many years. Majumdars' son further reported that his father was supposed to be expecting the weekly phone call from him that night but, Majumdar did not respond to multiple video calls, despite the calls coming well before his usual bedtime. 
  Police stepped in to investigate the case and spoke to Mr. Probal Sengupta – who had been Majumdars' neighbor and companion in his chess games off late. 
  Mr. Sengupta hinted at depression and suicidal tendencies in his chess buddy, attributing it to Mr. Majumdar's loneliness at such advanced age. His narratives seemed to be quite convincing to the investigating officer and generally to the detective department. However, Mr. Sengupta later was found to have deliberately underreported crucial facts about the case and his knowledge about similar incidents that seemed to have taken place in that same neighborhood in recent times. 
  As the investigation headed for a stalemate with no apparent breakthrough in the offing, private investigator - Dharini Koyal, aka DK, was roped in to navigate the muddy waters. 
  Tune in to this pulsating crime thriller to know whether DK succeeded in solving the maze crafted by an obsessive chess player in the veritable end game??
