  Bookshop owner and cancer survivor Rarity Cole loves her life in Sedona, Arizona—the community of healing she's found; her adorable Yorkie, Killer; and the friends she’s made in the survivors' book club. Now one of them needs her help because her husband's been accused of murder . . . 
   
   
   
  When her week begins, Rarity expects the biggest mystery she'll need to solve is how a rare first edition of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland ended up in her bookstore bathroom. But after book club member Shirley tells her that her husband George, who has dementia, is the prime suspect in a nursing home murder, Rarity feels as if she's stepped through the looking glass. 
   
   
    
  As someone who's been given a second chance at life, Rarity wishes her friend Shirley a second chance at love. But Shirley has rebuffed her senior suitor Terrance out of loyalty to George, even though he no longer knows who she is. Except guess who's the second suspect? Shirley's caught between two men—and it's up to Rarity and the survivor sleuths to determine if one of them is capable of cold-blooded murder . . .

  Her worlds collide when her corporate gig at Martin Technologies, her consulting position with the local PD, and her almost relationship with Martin blend together in a maelstrom of drugs, sex, and security overhauls.

  Sherlock Holmes and his friend, Dr. John Watson, are no strangers to danger—but a visitor’s claim that they are to be the targets of an assassin is unsettling. Moreover, the man says he has created a time machine that has whisked him away to the future. Astonishing! The idea is so outlandish that the great detective considers tossing the man out on the street. But there’s more. The assassin will also shoot Queen Victoria’s son, the crown prince, when he steps off a train to celebrate her Diamond Jubilee Celebration. Moreover, the stranger can prove his odd assertion. He returns with pictorial evidence, a “moving picture” (a pad of sequential photos) that shows the violent deaths of Holmes and Watson over and over again in grotesque detail. With these horrible images seared into their brains, the two sleuths must begin a deadly race against the clock. And if they lose, the price will be more than their lives. Their failure might actually cause the empire to fall. Clearly, it will take every iota of the famous inquiry agent’s prodigious mental powers to puzzle out an event that hasn’t happened. Holmes turns to his brother for help, only to learn that Mycroft Holmes might actually be behind this dastardly plot. Is it possible that Holmes’s own brother is a traitor to the realm? Mycroft has all the resources of the British Empire at his disposal, while Holmes has only Watson and his merry band of Irregulars, street urchins he’s trained to work as spies. How can Holmes possibly hope to thwart his brother’s superior resources? He can and he must. Sherlock Holmes and Watson must pit themselves against a foe that all men fear…Father Time.

  "For the first time, the hunter becomes the hunted."
  
  A daring robbery at a deputy's villa goes horribly wrong, leaving two of Arsène Lupin's most loyal accomplices captured and sentenced to the guillotine. The key to their salvation? A simple crystal stopper that has vanished into thin air. Lupin finds himself locked in a deadly battle of wits against the villainous Deputy Daubrecq, a man so cunning and black-hearted that he may finally be Lupin's match. To save his friends, the gentleman thief must navigate a treacherous world of political blackmail, hidden lists, and shocking betrayals. In The Crystal Stopper, the stakes aren't just gold or jewels—they are human lives.
  
  Lupin at His Most Vulnerable: This novel is famous for showing a different side of Lupin. Stripped of his usual composure and facing a ticking clock, he must use every ounce of his ingenuity to outmaneuver an enemy who knows his every move. It is a gripping psychological thriller that proves Lupin is at his best when backed into a corner.
  
  A Masterpiece of Suspense: Leblanc expertly weaves a tale of "the purloined letter" variety, where the most important object is often hidden in plain sight. The mystery of the crystal stopper remains one of the most clever "MacGuffins" in detective fiction, leading to a climax that is both breathless and satisfying.
  
  Why It Is a Must-Read: If you enjoyed the high-stakes tension of the Lupin TV series, this is the book for you. It combines the classic charm of the Belle Époque with the grit of a modern thriller, making it an essential chapter in the legend of the world's favorite rogue.
