    Things in the sleepy fishing town of Cold Storage, Alaska, are changing. It’s the summer of 1968; the men are wearing their hair long, the Vietnam War is at its height, and multiple assassinations have gripped the country. But some things remain the same. Ellie’s  
    bar is still the place to catch up on the town gossip, and there’s a lot to talk about, from the boys who have returned from the war (and the ones who haven’t), to the robberies that are plaguing the locals, to the new guy in town: a famous monk from Kentucky.  
     
    Ellie, herself a fugitive of sorts, is curious about this “Brother Louis” and worries about his motives, but he seems harmless enough. However, when a handful of other outsiders arrive to town and start poking around the bar and asking  
    questions, she begins to have reservations. Have they followed this mysterious monk, rumored to be the famous author Thomas Merton, to Cold Storage? And what is it that they want, particularly the inept FBI agent with the strange name:  
    Boston Corbett? 
     
    Inspired by assassination conspiracy theories, the life of Thomas Merton, and the changing tide of the ’60s, Blown by the Same Wind is a coming-of-age story for the town of Cold Storage itself.

    ABOUT THIS EPISODE 
     
     
     
    The white rabbit crashes storytime with Sila, Malcolm, and Seong-Jae—a little too literally, leaving our intrepid detectives battered but not broken. Yet what they find with the white rabbit's arrival could destroy even the strongest man: a diabolical game with over two dozen lives at stake, turning their final showdown into a macabre stage play with the white rabbit as its star. 
     
     
     
    Injured, limping, Malcolm and Seong-Jae must not only survive, but protect others until help can arrive; until they can corner their targets, and finally end the horror of the white rabbit's reign. The odds are evened—but the white rabbit has a more sinister plan in mind. 
     
     
     
    One must die so the other can live. 
     
     
     
    And carry on to tell the tale of his legacy, as he brings his performance to a shattering end. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    A dead maid. A poisoned aristocrat. A deadly secret buried deep. 
    Lenora Fletcher is no stranger to murder. But when the ghost of a teenage maid appears with a chilling warning—someone is going to kill Lord MacCovington—Lenora is thrust into another dark mystery. And this time, she might be the prime suspect. 
    As Lenora investigates, aided by her spectral friend Tilly and her ever-skeptical companions, she uncovers whispers of blackmail, a masked figure, and a secret so vile it’s worth killing for. When Lady MacCovington is fatally poisoned in front of her, and suspicion falls squarely on Lenora, time runs out. To clear her name, she must unravel a twisted web of lies—and unmask a murderer hiding in plain sight. 
    If you enjoy clever heroines, Gothic estates, and haunting secrets from the past, you’ll love Secrets for a Duchess, the sixth installment in Nellie H. Steele’s immersive historical mystery series.
