  Pete Stone and Cocky Wright met on a baseball field, a pair of boys with skinned knees, lots of moxie, and a friendship that lasted long after time stole their youth.     
  Now, Cocky is dead, his widow and daughter are in danger, and shady characters are after something he was hiding. All Cocky left behind was a key and lots of questions. Was he dealing secrets to the German American Bund? Was he a threat to the safety of the country? Was his death an accident or murder? 
  When his pal’s ghost whispers, “You got moxie, kid,” Pete Stone knows he must find the answers. He must uncover the truth and save the wife and daughter Cocky left behind.   
   The award-winning Pete Stone Private Investigator series is set in 1930s Wichita, Kansas. Books 1 and 3 are Kansas Notable titles. All Hallows’ Shadows was the 2020 J. Donald Coffin Memorial Book Award winner and a Midwest Book Award Finalist.

  What secret grips Corvus Hall? 
  Visiting the Great Exhibition to view the wax anatomical models of the famous but reclusive Dr Silas Strangeway, Jem Flockhart and Will Quartermain find a severed hand, perfectly dissected and laid out amongst the exhibits. Assuming it to be a prank by medical students they return it to Dr Strangeway, who works at Corvus Hall, a private anatomy school run by Dr Alexander Crowe - once one of Edinburgh's most revered anatomists. Jem's persistence reveals that a body does indeed lie in the school's mortuary, minus its right hand. The body has no provenance. More macabre still, its face has been dissected making identification impossible. 
  All is not as it should be at Corvus Hall. Dr Crowe's daughter, Lilith, visits the mortuary in the dead of night. Her twin sisters, Sorrow and Silence - one blind and one deaf - exert a malign influence over the students. Organs, freshly dissected, appear in the anatomical museum. Fear grips lecturers and students, even as something unseen binds them in a bloody pact of silence. 
  'Gothic. Gory. Glorious . . . E. S. Thompson's Jem Flockhart books are the best I've read in years. Jem is just my kind of heroine: scarred, smart, complex, and unapologetically queer'. - Kirsty Logan, author of The Gloaming

  The USA Today–bestselling author’s French Revolution trilogy reaches a stunning finale with “a glorious, wonderful book!” (Mary Balogh).   At sixteen, high-born Lady Emily had been found alone with Leon Devereux and was summarily forced to wed the wild, notoriously seductive rake. But it had been a marriage in name only, and soon the handsome rogue left to seek his fortune. Now, the scoundrel has returned, demanding to consummate their union, but Emily has no intention of honoring her “husband,” no matter how irresistible his caresses.   When he sought asylum from the horrors of the French Revolution in England, Leon Devereux’s unruly ways earned him the contempt of the haute ton. Yet his heart belonged only to Emily, whose reputation he was forced to protect by marrying her when she was barely more than a girl. But now, Emily has blossomed into a woman who makes Leon hunger for a love he’s never known—a love he’ll show her if only she’d let him.   “I would recommend this book very highly to anyone looking for a romance with a good mystery and intriguing sub-plots.” —All About Romance
