Sinopsis

A stolen necklace has British detective Patrick Dawlish running in circles to find the culprit in this classic Golden Age mystery.   A famous jewel thief has struck again, stealing a fortune of gems from Lord Hillmorton and kidnapping his daughter to ensure his silence. But there’s one man to call when there are no other options: Patrick Dawlish.   Hot in pursuit, Dawlish, his wife, and Cedric Forbes find themselves caught between a notorious gang of thieves and a quirky family who may or may not have their own part to play in the crime. As a strand of valuable pearls changes hands, it’s up to Dawlish to orchestrate a plan to root out the fakes from the genuine article—and bring the innocent home alive . . .

    Good does not exist. There is only the ever-swirling chaos of evil lurking just beyond the veil of our perception waiting to strike arbitrarily without purpose or reason. When evil throws its wiry tentacles out into our world leaving an inky black sludge of death, sadness, and destruction in their wake it' s done not out of maliciousness but at random with no forethought, no agenda. There is no prayer you can say, no spell to cast, no totem, no god benevolent or otherwise to provide protection from the denizens of evil who walk among us to carry out an agenda the same as they have for a thousand millennia. The Cadillac Man is one of these denizens, an extension of evil, a collector of sorts. He picks up people and moves them around like pieces on a chessboard vampirically gaining strength through the deeds and situations into which they' ve been placed. There' s no bargaining, no favor to curry, no chance of altering your fate. When the long black Cadillac pulls up alongside all you can do is get in, but you won' t enjoy the ride.

    It was supposed to be a relaxing vacation. Now this legendary location could be hiding a killer in its battlements. 
     
     
     
    Leta Parker's retirement in the Cotswolds' rolling hills has been a balm for her soul. And heading off with her friends and talking four-legged companions to a cat yoga retreat on the cliffs of Cornwall's Arthurian coastline seems like the perfect mix of relaxation and exploration. But when a fellow yogi's corpse pose nearly becomes permanent, Leta believes it's no stretch to suspect foul play. 
     
     
     
    Seeking the cause of the death-like pose, the Little Old Ladies' Detective Agency springs into action to hunt down the culprit. But with the poor woman's recent tragic history, the resort's grieving owners, and a doubtful local DI all conspiring to muddy the picture, this case could end up in ruins. 
     
     
     
    Will the crack team of senior sleuths unearth the evidence to throw a would-be murderer in the dungeon?

    When the victim of a new serial killer turns up murdered, investigators are perplexed: it is the second body to appear who suffered from a rare ageing disease. FBI Special Agent Rachel Gift knows a thing or two about limited time left to live—and she knows that she and this killer may just have more in common than she wishes….

    FBI Agent Rachel Gift, 33, unparalleled for her ability to enter the minds of serial killers, is a rising star in the Behavioral Crimes Unit—until a routine doctor visit reveals she has but a few months left to live.
    
    Not wishing to burden others with her pain, Rachel decides, agonizing as it is, not to tell anyone—not even her boss, her partner, her husband, or her seven-year-old daughter. She wants to go down fighting, and to take as many serial killers with her as she can, but she can feel herself slipping.
    
    While investigating the murders, a hospice worker recognizes the tired look in Rachel’s eye. She can’t hide her condition anymore and she knows it. 
    
    It is time to confess her truth—but not before she catches her last killer.

    I wish I could say that the tragedy of little Jack disappearing brought me and Nate closer together. But my husband is more distant from me now than he’s ever been. Perhaps that’s why I don’t ask him exactly where he’s going when he sets off on another business trip. Or perhaps I was too distracted by the woman moving in across the street with bouncing blonde hair and a cherubic toddler boy. He reminds me so much of the child I lost. But his mother doesn’t seem to properly watch him. And I can’t be sure, but I think Nate and this woman share a look of recognition before he leaves. The first day Nate’s away, things feel okay, even though I know when he returns we’re going to have to discuss what I found in his coat pocket. But one day turns into two and then three. I don’t want to seem like the crazy wife, but I have to call his work and ask what’s going on. And that’s when they tell me the shocking truth. Nate hasn’t worked for the company in six months. Once I’ve found this lie, it’s hard not to pick at the scab of our marriage, see what other secrets lie beneath his apparent love for me. By the end of the week, I hope I might finally learn the truth about my husband, about the woman across the street, and about what really happened to my little boy.
