  Bernardino, the printer, is lying in desperate conditions in a room at Santa Lucia hospital. Cardinal Baldeschi died suddenly and left the city government vacant. Will young Lucia Baldeschi finally take the reins of government and prevent Jesi from falling into the hands of enemies who have always been pressing at his doors? Certainly, one cannot leave the government in the hands of four corrupt nobles or, worse, entrust it to the papal legate sent by the Pope. But Lucia is a woman, and it`s not easy to take on roles of power, traditionally handed down to men. And Andrea, her love, what happened to her, after escaping the scaffold and disappearing in the wake of the Mancino? Will he return to the scene to help his beloved? Or will controversial events lead him to other shores? And we also remember the parallel story, that of the scholar Lucia Balleani, our contemporary, who perhaps has finally met the love of hes life, the one who will take her by hand to discover with the reader new arcane secrets. Love and death, esotericism and logic, good and evil. These are just some of the ingredients that give rhythm to this new investigation, focused on the mysterious disappearance of the bronze crown, once placed above the rampant lion of the main palace of Jesi, that of the Signoria. Once again, the past is intertwined with the present, through the parallel vicissitudes of the protagonists of the present day and their namesake ancestors. A comely lady and haughty regent of the Aesina Republic, Lucia Baldeschi is divided between the obligations of the reason of state and love for the fugitive knight, the brave leader Andrea Franciolini. Between history and legend, the action ranges from the severe buildings and dark secret passages of an underground Jesi, to the open countryside of its Contado, populated by shepherds and monks during the day and animated by magical rites during moonlight.

  Number-one instant best seller from Joshua Bejoy, India's youngest best-selling author 
  Friday the 13th. Halloween night. 1532, Dublin, Ireland. After a night out in a bar, Edward Brown is returning back home, where he is murdered. Five centuries later, on Halloween, he has woken up from his sleep, a thought to get revenge in his mind. He kills both Max Watson and Horace Jones, two residents of Bluebell. Edward flees, leaving no clues. The case is investigated by various agencies, all to no avail. Presently, the case is in the hands of Dublin-based investigation agency, UNWWAISMC. The case is given to Maralays Hover, a detective, and Root Anderson, a forensic psychologist. Join both of them on their mysterious and perilous journey to uncover the reason for the murder and bring the unidentified person behind it to justice. 
  The author Joshua Bejoy is an 11-year-old student from Pune, India. He wrote an inverted mystery, Murder at the Leaky Barrel, while confined to his home during the lockdown. Apart from writing, he likes painting, playing the guitar, and baking. 
  In his own words: 
  "The rush of happiness that I experience when I write is something that I can't describe! The richness in each word is nearly equal to sinking my teeth into some rich plum cake. Each and every creation we make can be molded into something great, just as my poem about the process of making bread describes: 
  At first, I'm paste without a taste, 
  Then with a spoon, you roll me out, rather in a haste, 
  As you work on me, I get softer by time, 
  Until you set me into my mold, 
  And after baking, you get culinary gold!"

  'Sprightly and elegantly written mystery'The Daily Telegraph
  'A marvellous literary thriller' Clare Chase
  'A clever and refreshing take on the mystery novel' Jo Silva
  In post-war Oxford, secrets lie behind every door.
  In 1947, with rationing still biting and the black market thriving, university don C.S. 'Jack' Lewis finds himself pulled into a mystery straight from one of his friend Dorothy Sayers' novels. Susan Temple, his brightest student, has hidden herself away at Rake Hall — a hostel for unmarried, outcast mothers – and hasn't been heard from since.
  With no experience beyond catching the occasional student plagiarist, Lewis is hardly a detective. But when Susan's absence continues to haunt him, he teams up with her concerned friend Lucy and together they delve into the disturbing rumours of a nasty racket at Rake Hall. Can Lewis's nose for the truth separate fact from fiction?
  In The Mystery at Rake Hall, Maureen Paton – whose mother lived at the real-life Rake Hall while pregnant with Maureen – brilliantly recreates a post-war Oxford world, as well as imagining an alternative life for one of its most famous residents.
