  Coloring book creator and Washington, DC, bookstore owner Florrie Fox is attending the wedding of her wealthy boss and a famous romance author, who are taking their vows—for the second time—on the grounds of the gorgeous Maxwell mansion.  But it soon becomes clear that the soothing vibe of coloring books is very different from the stress and backstabbing in some corners of the literary world. 
   
   
    
  Arthur Bedlingham, for example, barely makes a living despite the many awards he's won—and his chances for better sales haven't been helped by the vicious review he just got from another guest at the party. Then there's an ex-FBI agent whose popular thrillers are a magnet for female fans; a less-successful romance writer; and an ambitious waitress who's intent on a career in journalism. 
   
   
    
  When Arthur's assistant, an aspiring writer, is murdered during the festivities, Florrie realizes this is no color-by-numbers case, and she'll have to sort out the complicated secrets among this creative crowd of suspects . . .

  Dr. Ivan Brodsky believes death is not an ending but a doorway—and he intends to step through it on his own terms. Convinced that a child in his care was born without a soul, he designs an electrical apparatus that will hurl both himself and the boy across the threshold of life and back again. The plan is precise, deliberate, and irreversible. What follows leaves his assistant staring into a glass globe where two lights circle like trapped butterflies—and watching as only one body awakens. 
  But Brodsky’s true design does not end in the laboratory. A sealed letter reveals a deeper ambition: not rescue, but replacement. If the experiment succeeded, the child now carries more than restored intelligence. He may carry the mind of a man who refused to grow old. Years later, as the boy approaches manhood and begins to show flashes of uncanny memory, the assistant faces a burden heavier than grief. He alone knows what knowledge was hidden in a secret drawer—and why he chose to burn it. If the past returns in full, will he keep it buried again? 
  Victor Rousseau crafts this tale with the calm authority of early twentieth-century speculative fiction, where scientific audacity meets moral restraint. Rousseau, a Belgian-born writer who became a prolific contributor to American pulp magazines, published widely in Adventure, Argosy, and later Weird Tales. His fiction often blended occult speculation with technological daring, and he wrote dozens of novels and short stories across adventure and science fiction markets. In The Ultimate Problem, his fascination with psychic research and electrical theory converges in a story that questions whether knowledge itself can be too powerful to survive.

  I've heard she's always a bridesmaid and never a bride. But I'd make her mine, if she'd let me. 
   
   
   
  Three years ago, I left South Carolina and the woman I love without looking back. Okay, that's a lie. I've spent a fair amount of time imagining myself lounging under that Spanish moss with her. 
   
   
   
  Back then, we didn't have a care in the world. It was simple. Easy. Right. In fact, I'd been about to propose. Then I found out I had a kid I didn't know about, and just like that, everything changed. 
   
   
   
  But, it was wrong to leave Layla the way I did. I'd made a million assumptions I had no right to make. I'll do anything to be the father Grayson needs, and that includes showing him that when you make a mistake, you have to fix it. 
   
   
   
  And when you love someone, you have to fight for them. 
   
   
   
  So now, as a single dad, I'm back in town with one thing on my mind: Make it right with Layla, or go down trying. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.
