  Presented here are the first two books of Agatha Christie's beloved "Tommy and Tuppence" series: "The Secret Adversary" and "Partners in Crime," featuring the exploits of Tommy and Prudence "Tuppence" Beresford, a pair of young detectives whose investigations ensnare them in a series of international mysteries.  
   
  In the first, Tommy and Tuppence are in search of a missing woman who vanished while carrying a secret treaty that could endanger Britain. As they delve deeper, they uncover a web of espionage, political intrigue, and deception led by a mysterious figure known only as "Mr. Brown."  
   
  Then, in "Partners in Crime," the pair are tasked by British intelligence to uncover a secret spy ring. Using a detective agency as a front for their investigations, each case they handle parodies the style of a different famous detective, showcasing Christie's wit and love for the genre.  
   
  From missing jewels to mysterious murders, Tommy and Tuppence tackle every challenge with humor, charm, and clever teamwork.  
   
  These two books are presented here in their original and unabridged formats.

  Crawford mystery series, a short story that unravels dark secrets from her close

  interest in the tall, angry boy with a mysterious past.

  owes them a debt that runs deeper than Bess could ever know. Told through the 
  eyes of Melinda, Richard, Clarissa, and Bess, A Hanging at Dawn pieces 
  together a mystery at the center of Bess’s family that will irrevocably change

  A new collection of stories by one of America's greatest writers 
   
   
   
  These new, recent, and reformulated stories by Joyce Carol Oates showcase a wide range of crime fiction and psychological suspense. A young, insecure woman finds her relationship changing as she grows more and more dependent on a man who likes to take her on long walks beside a dangerously roaring creek. Another woman, nervous around men, not quite knowing how to act when paid a compliment, becomes flustered when a doctor suggests they go out for coffee, or possibly a drink. She finally decides that she will join him when he suggests they meet at his home. A man is so forgetful that his wife panics and yells into his phone, asking where their daughter has gone. A young man is curious to see why sirens have filled the night and the police arrest him, beginning an unimaginable nightmare. A woman resents that a colleague has achieved greater success and thinks she ought to do something about it. 
   
   
   
  It is impossible to know where a story by the creative genius of Joyce Carol Oates will end and what frightening paths will lead to that end.
