Sinossi

In "The Winning Clue," James Hay masterfully weaves a suspenseful narrative that grips readers from the very first page. Set against the backdrop of a competitive game, the novel delves into the intricate psychology of rivalry and the quest for victory, employing a layered literary style that combines sharp dialogue and vivid imagery. Hay's exploration of themes such as deception and morality resonates deeply within the context of early 20th-century detective fiction, drawing parallels with the works of contemporaries while establishing its own unique voice. James Hay, a prolific author and keen observer of human nature, drew from his varied experiences in both literature and life to fuel this compelling narrative. Having been influenced by the burgeoning gaming culture of his time, he reflects the tensions and complexities inherent in competition, each character a manifestation of ambition and the lengths individuals will go to secure triumph. His previous works, marked by their rich character development and intricate plot twists, further showcase his ability to engage readers through compelling storytelling. For readers who appreciate a compelling blend of psychological depth and thrilling intrigue, "The Winning Clue" is an engrossing choice. It invites reflection on human motivations within the competitive arena, ensuring its place as a significant contribution to the genre. This novel promises not only to entertain but also to provoke thought about the nature of winning and losing in life.

    Sam Green is an art student with some pretty creative habits when it comes to solving mysteries, in this new series from author and artist Sarah Vernon. Perfect for fans of Mia P. Manansala, Rob Osler and Abby Collette. 
    It’s the coldest part of a Boston winter when her friend Catherine is found dead in the painting studios one evening.

Despite the protests of her friends Rebecca and Stephanie (although — happily — with the help of her crush Arun), Sam starts to poke around the old art department building. Peering into the dark corners of studios and underneath piles of musty art supplies, Sam soon uncovers some surprising suspects and motives behind Catherine’s death, in an art department simmering with artistic jealousy, resentment, and more relationship drama than a daytime talk show could handle. 
    The only question is, will Sam be able to find out who killed Catherine before that person finds Sam?

    🧵 Quilt shop owner and fabric cutter Cora Cutwell is hosting a fat quarter frenzy sale when the store's most demanding customer—a notorious fabric hoarder—is found dead in her shop, buried under a collapsed display of premium fat quarters. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Cora notices the fabric bolts have been deliberately cut to weaken the display and the victim's purchase history shows suspicious patterns of fabric accumulation. With her shop temporarily closed and the quilting community in an uproar, Cora must measure up as an investigator. Assisted by her cutting team and the handsome textile engineer analyzing fabric stress points, Cora uncovers a scheme involving short-measured fabric, counterfeit designer prints, and a black market for stolen quilt shop inventory. From suspicious cutting patterns that reveal intentional waste to selvage edges that don't match manufacturer specifications, every quarter yard tells a story. But when Cora discovers the victim was systematically reselling stolen fat quarters online at inflated prices, she realizes the killer is protecting small quilt shops from a fabric fencing operation. With the annual quilt show approaching and the real thief still cutting corners, Cora must square away the evidence before her own business gets permanently cut from the bolt.

    For centuries, legends have whispered of an extraordinary group of ancient people whose lifespans stretched two or three times longer than ordinary people. Though not truly immortal, these enigmatic individuals amassed lifetimes of unparalleled knowledge, their advancements so astonishing that they were mistaken as gods. 
    They shaped humanity’s most extraordinary achievements: the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Ming dynasty’s Treasure Ships, the lost city of Atlantis, the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacán, and a global communication network – known as the Looking Glass – that linked the world four thousand years before Columbus crossed the Atlantic, earning them the title of Master Builders. 
    When the last of the great ones died, their vast knowledge of the ancient world was buried with them in a secret tomb some believed was never meant to be found. If such a necropolis existed, it would be much larger than even the Great Pyramid of Khufu, its treasures eclipsing those of King Tutankhamun, and guarded by an ancient army more formidable than the Terracotta Warriors who protected the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. 
    With the location of the Necropolis of the Gods now known, Sam Reilly is on a race to reach its inner sanctum before others – equipped with the Elixir of Life – are able to steal its deadly treasures and unlock an ancient army of unimaginable power.
