A Total Witch Show

Dakota Cassidy

This time I'm the case that needs solving. Almost all of the criminals dead or alive that we've captured or we've had a hand in doling out their fate, have been stalking me via the ghost of my very first case. 
 
 
 
Sal Finch. Win's vengeful cousin, angry and bitter when he lost all of Win's inheritance to me and tried to kill me, has somehow figured out how to read people on this plane and get them to do his bidding. How do I, mostly a mere mortal, fight off someone from the afterlife still holding a big, fat grudge? 
 
 
 
I call my sister Halliday Valentine to help me fight off the forces of evil, of course! A full-time witch who has visions, and part-time sleuth just like me. But the afterlife sure has drastically changed since I lost my powers, and everyone around me becomes suspect as Sal whispers suggestively in the ears of criminals who would like nothing better than to see me kaput. 
 
 
 
When my sister has a vision of me, a mere dead husk of a body, my soul evaporated for eternity, we know we have to take action with the mother of all spells. But with the afterlife in such an uproar, and the delicate timing of the spell, will we get this monkey off my back, or leave the world turned upside down?

The Adventure of the...

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

"The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans" is one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It is one of eight stories in the cycle collected as His Last Bow, and is the second and final appearance of Mycroft Holmes. Doyle ranked "The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans" fourteenth in a list of his nineteen favourite Sherlock Holmes stories.
The monotony of thick smog-shrouded London is broken by a sudden visit from Holmes' brother Mycroft. He has come about some missing, secret submarine plans. Seven of the ten pages - three are still missing - were found with Arthur Cadogan West's body. He was a young clerk in a government office at Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, whose body was found next to the Underground tracks near the Aldgate tube station, his head crushed. He had little money with him (although there appears to have been no robbery), theatre tickets, and curiously, no Underground ticket. The three missing pages by themselves could enable one of Britain's enemies to build a Bruce-Partington submarine.

Paging Doctor Death

Andrew Pennhaven

On the night shift, death is scheduled. 
When a "natural" passing on Ward C sets off a prickle of doubt, nurse Tessa Markov starts to see a chilling pattern: terminal patients are quietly reassigned to the same celebrated physician minutes before they flatline. Charts vanish. Codes arrive a little too late. Families are persuaded to sign what they don't fully understand. And the only other witness—a soft-spoken night janitor—saw something he shouldn't have. 
As Tessa pulls at the threads, the hospital's routines turn into traps. Doors that should open don't. Alarms fail. Colleagues fall silent. Someone inside the system is practicing a perfect kind of murder—one that looks like mercy. And when a loved one lands in that doctor's care, Tessa's fight for the truth becomes a race against the clock. 
Paging Doctor Death is a taut, claustrophobic medical thriller about power without oversight and the price of speaking up. If you crave relentless tension, a fearless heroine, and twist-knife reveals set in the fluorescent hush of a midnight ward, this pulse-pounding novel will keep you turning pages long past visiting hours. Read it for the razor-sharp stakes, stay for the final diagnosis you won't see coming.
