Sinopse

Joseph Smith Fletcher (1863-1935) was an English journalist and author. He wrote more than 230 books on a wide variety of subjects, both fiction and non-fiction, and was one of the most prolific English writers of detective fiction.Fletcher’s mystery story A Shot in the Night, which we propose to our readers today, was published in September 1924 in the Cosmopolitan magazine.«After some unseen hand had thumped loudly and steadily at the panels of his bedroom door for the better part of five minutes, Manson pulled himself out of the seductive embrace of his blankets to realize that the wintry dawn was at hand, and that the moon, just then at its full, was dipping towards the horizon beyond the pine woods in front of his uncurtained window. He slipped out of bed and switched on the electric light at its head all in one action, and as he crossed to the door glanced at the watch which lay on his dressing-table. Six forty-five—two hours and a quarter before his usual time! And who the devil could this be, thundering so persistently at his door?».

The demise of a French journalist disrupts everyone's plans for a quiet party at Castle Raven. Ebrel, Elain, and Punkin have their hands and paws full trying to solve the mysterious murder and keep Pierre's temper from boiling over. 
Adding to the deadly brew is the walking catastrophe of a reputation Punkin has, and a string of mishaps that threaten to sideline April's furry familiar. Add in the Lieutenant Colonel's talking coat with a sweet tooth, a deadly duel, and the pressure mounts in Misty Valley. 
Can Ebrel and the gang solve the mystery before trouble boils over?

INCLUDES PDF OF BOOK! Published nine years before Sherlock's first appearance, this debut novel by the Mother of American Detective Fiction would be credited as changing the mystery genre forever. The Leavenworth Case's dynamic prose and intriguing characters—especially the introduction of Detective Gryce, the first recurring American detective in fiction—would set the stage for all mystery novels written thereafter. Agatha Christie would credit it as one of the books that encouraged her to try her hand at writing mystery in the first place. 
This edition includes an engaging introduction by Patricia Meredith, author of A Deed of Dreadful Note, the first historical fiction mystery featuring Anna Katharine Green, centering on the events that would lead to her writing of this, her debut novel, an effort that would take six years beginning in 1872, ending with its publication in 1878.  
"The Leavenworth Case is admirable. One savors its atmosphere, its studied and deliberate melodrama. Those rich and lavish descriptions of the golden beauty of Eleanor, the moonlight beauty of Mary!… and there is the maidservant, Hannah, so true to type, and the murderer, an excellent psychological study." —Hercule Poirot in The Clocks (1963) by Agatha Christie  
"Have I read The Leavenworth Case? I have read it through at one sitting. Her powers of invention are so remarkable—she has so much imagination and so much belief (a most important qualification for our art) in what she writes, that I have nothing to report of myself, so far, but most sincere admiration.… Dozens of times in reading the story I have stopped to admire the fertility of invention, the delicate treatment of incidents—and the fine perception of the influence of events on the personages of the story." —Wilkie Collins, author of The Woman in White and The Moonstone

HELL ISN’T FIRE. HELL IS A HALL FULL OF MIRRORS. 
Psychology teacher Michael Bendixen knows it’s not uncommon for people in grief to imagine seeing or hearing lost loved ones. So, when he hears his dead son’s voice calling for him in the high school hallway, he chalks it up to just that. A hallucination born from his grief. 
Then a student tells him she heard it too. 
The student is Lisa Swan, a seventeen-year-old girl who, in the thirteen months since she suffered her own tragic loss, has had her own demons to battle. 
The meeting between the two marks the beginning of a long and nerve-wracking journey that leads them to Urari—a world parallel to ours. A world in which mirrors reflect far more than just the observer’s physical traits.
