  🧵 Specialty floss shop owner and embroidery artist Flora Threadwell is hosting a prestigious stitching retreat when the retreat's celebrity instructor—a famously demanding needlework star—is found dead in her studio, tangled in a massive web of embroidery floss from her own inventory. The police suspect a bizarre accident, but Flora notices the floss colors form a deliberate pattern and the victim's project contains a hidden message stitched in a rare embroidery code. With her shop temporarily closed and the embroidery world in knots, Flora must carefully separate the strands of truth from this colorful mess. Assisted by her stitching retreat guests and the handsome textile chemist analyzing dye compositions, Flora uncovers a scheme involving counterfeit floss, stolen color formulas, and a black market for rare vintage threads. From suspicious dye lots that reveal chemical inconsistencies to strand twists that don't match manufacturer specifications, every color tells a story. But when Flora discovers the victim was systematically hoarding discontinued floss colors to manipulate the collector's market, she realizes the killer is protecting a colorful legacy more valuable than any single skein. With the retreat ending soon and the real culprit still weaving deception, Flora must stitch together the evidence before her own business gets permanently unraveled.

  The Negro of the "Narcissus"

  Today, we're likely to react to the title of this novella, on whose 'sincerity of expression' Conrad was willing to stake his artisitic reputation, with visceral disgust. There is a sad irony in this, for Conrad's title originally alluded to a rather complex set of meanings, implying that, by virtue of our human nature, we all carry within the fragile vessel that is our idealised image of ourselves a darker being we find troubling, even despicable, but with whom we must eventually come to terms. Indeed, in the couse of this tale of a traumatic sea voyage from Bombay to London, Conrad suggests that in projecting their loathing of their own ambivalent feelings onto their (possibly dying) black shipmate James Wait, the crew of the Narcissus have considerable difficulty seeing the real James Wait behind their confused emotional reactions at all. The novella is remarkable for its knitting together of a stunningly well-realised physical drama involving an imperilled ship with a most discomforting psychodrama that draws in all twenty-six men who sail her.

  On a late October Sunday morning in Gravigna, Tuscany, Maresciallo Perillo is having breakfast with former NYPD homicide detective Nico Doyle when he is called back to the station in Greve. Hotel Bella Vista’s young manager, Laura  
  Benati, is worried. Her eighty-year-old bartender, Cesare Costanzi, has been missing for three days. 
   
  The next morning, Jimmy, co-owner of Gravigna’s local café, runs out of gas on his way back from Florence. When Nico meets him to help, Nico’s dog, OneWag, reacts to the smell coming from Jimmy’s trunk. Inside Nico finds a body wrapped in plastic: Cesare Costanzi, stabbed several times in the chest. 
   
  It is unclear why anyone would want Cesare dead, but that doesn’t stop the Gravigna grapevine from spreading rumors at lightning speed. With numerous suspects on his list, Perillo has no other choice but to turn to Nico once again for help with the investigation.
