    "The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax" is one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It is one of the eight stories in the cycle collected as His Last Bow, and one of the few stories in which for much of the plot Watson must act alone and try his best with Holmes left in the background.
    Holmes sends Dr. Watson to Lausanne to investigate Lady Frances Carfax's disappearance since he himself is too busy in London. Lady Frances is a lone, unwed woman denied a rich inheritance on account of her sex. She does, however, carry valuable jewels with her. It is also her habit to write to her old governess, Miss Dobney, every other week, but for the past five weeks, there has not been a word from her. She has left the Hôtel National for parts unknown. Her last two bank transactions were cheques, one to pay her hotel bill, and another for £50 to her maid, Miss Marie Devine.

    Her eyes widen at her reflection in the steel blade as it comes closer, closer, closer…  
    Detective Madison Knight thought a midnight drive through the countryside would help clear her mind, but she thought wrong. Her car runs out of gas, stranding her in the middle of nowhere in pitch darkness. When she gets out to stretch her legs, the beam of her phone’s flashlight lands on a suitcase in the ditch. After she opens it, she’s sorry she did. 
    Tara Jackson was only twenty-one years old with her entire life ahead of her before she was stabbed to death and stuffed into a piece of luggage. Madison is determined to find her justice and soon uncovers that Tara was keeping secrets from those closest to her and suspects they may have gotten her killed. But while she’s exploring that lead, the body of another young woman is found in a sports equipment bag. 
    She looks just like Tara and is the same age, and Madison starts to wonder if the killer she’s after has killed before. Desperate, she turns to cold cases and missing person reports to see if she can dig up anything to further the investigation. 
    Madison finds eighteen-year-old Daphne Tucker, who was reported missing from the area three years ago. She’s a doppelganger to the other victims. Is the reason Daphne hasn’t been heard from because she’s dead too? And has her killer returned, hungry for more blood? 
    As Madison edges closer to the truth, someone is stalking her from the shadows, and she fears it just may be the twisted, demented killer she’s hunting. But can Madison outsmart him or her before she becomes the next victim? 
    This completely gripping bone-chilling crime thriller is perfect for fans of Lisa Regan, D.K. Hood, and Leslie Wolfe.

    The Guarneri, a violin rarer than a Stradivarius, belonged to the charismatic Irish virtuoso Robert Flynn. Famed for his performances of the classical repertoire, including the early works of Ernest Grayson, Flynn wandered the countryside anonymously, playing in villages and collecting folk tunes before he died young during World War I. 
    Ernest Grayson, arguably the greatest British composer of the twentieth century, suffered a crisis of imagination in 1908 and spent time in a sanatorium in Zurich, where he was treated with the latest European therapies and returned to composing, creating his master works during the 1930s before committing suicide amid the chaos of World War II. 
    In the early 1990s, the teenaged American prodigy Allegra Balsen is about to perform Ernest Grayson’s first violin concerto on the Flynn Guarneri at Lincoln Center, when her best friend, a young cellist, is murdered backstage. Allegra goes on defiantly, to commemorate her friend and to honor the retiring concert mistress, violinist Moira Flynn. 
    Two Princeton musicologists attend the performance. They are studying Grayson’s work. As they delve into his musical scores, letters, photographs and other papers, they begin to untangle complicated love and family relations among Flynn, Grayson and descendants, coming closer and closer to the murderer, who is still at large and seeking another victim. 
    A brainy and haunting romance of the twentieth century—musical genius, madness, and love seen through the acute, empathetic eyes of academic detective Dr. Lucy Wunder as she, too, is pulled into the web.

Someone in the Castle family's past with a deep grudge holds the oldest secret of them all and intends on exacting revenge. 
     
     
     
    The tsunami of secrets converges and threatens to tear apart their families and tear down the businesses of every Castle child. No one close to Alex and Tyler is left untouched. Can Alex and Tyler pull each other through? Will their love be enough to keep everything they'd built from coming undone?
