    Cassidy Darrow is a gifted young woman with computer programming skills that surpass the average teen. In episode one, Cassidy dives deep into the mysterious death of her neighbor, Sharon Jackson. The adults around her dismiss it as a tragic accident, but Cassidy Darrow is on the case, and she is sure that a tragic accident it is not. She is determined to figure out just exactly what happened the day Mrs. Jackson collapsed in her own home as Cassidy watched helplessly out her bedroom window from across the street. With the help of her (semi) trusted chatbot and (unfortunately) only friend, Andrew, she is determined to get to the bottom of things, even if it could cost her and her family's life. 
    Murder, mystery, and technology come together to right a wrong and catch a killer.

    An unsolved murder investigation in 1970s Ireland from “one of Canada’s finest novelists.” — Ottawa Review of Books
    		 
    Shay Rynne grew up in the Corporation Flats — public housing — in Fenian Street, Dublin. He has always toyed with the idea of joining the Garda Síochána, the Irish police. But in the early 1970s, young fellows from the tenements of Dublin have not been welcomed in the police force. When his friend Rosaleen is killed and the case goes unsolved, Shay decides to put on the uniform of a Dublin garda and sets out to find the killer.
    		 
    The murder inquiry makes an enemy of the detective who failed in the first investigation. Shay knows Detective McCreevy is just waiting for the chance to get revenge. But the violent death of a prominent politician gives Shay the opportunity to prove himself, perhaps even be promoted. Shay works with the lead detective on the murder inquiry and his star is rising, until suspicion falls on a member of Shay’s own family. So Shay is off the case. Officially. Determined to clear his family name, his under-the-radar investigation takes him from an opulent mansion in Dublin to Hell’s Kitchen in New York. And his good friend Father Brennan Burke has some surprising contacts for Shay in the shadowy world of New York’s Irish mob.

    This is the second of the Treb Lincoln Novels by Bob Bitchin. 
    Adventure at every turn! 
    A small gray fishing boat loomed out of the heavy fog that surrounded the yacht, Rogue. 
    The name could barely be read on the stern of the large boat through the fog. She was a William Garden designed ketch, well over 50 feet in length with her main mast sticking over 60 feet into the air and disappearing in the fog. She had graceful lines reminiscent of the sailing ships of old, with her clipper bow and canoe stern. Heavy black accent and boot stripes set off the stark white of her hull, with black sail covers keeping in touch with her pirate ancestry. Her raised poop deck was highly varnished, and she was a stately vessel as she sat calmly on her mooring. A small anchor light was visible at the top of her mast, and she was alone in the bay, looking as if she had sailed in from out of the past. What happens next will alter the lives of Treb Lincoln and his friends more than even he could believe! 
    Content Warning: This book contains situations that readers may find uncomfortable, concerning, or triggering. These situations include a rape scene of a minor and an age gap between romantic partners.

    The Scarecrow - A deranged man...

    Ethel Lina White was born on the 2nd April 1876 in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, in Wales. 
    Her family were wealthy due to her father’s invention of a waterproofing material used, initially, for the London Underground. 
    Ethel started writing when she was only a child and published essays and poems in children’s papers.  She was also a talented artist. 
    As an adult she began to write short stories and, some years later, she started writing novels.  At the time she was working for the Ministry of Pensions in London but resigned in order to accept an advance of ten pounds and begin a career as a novelist.  It was this determination that helped her become one of the best-known crime writers in the English-speaking world during the 1930’s and 40’s. 
    Perhaps her best-known books are the ‘The Lady Vanishes’ and ‘The Spiral Staircase’ both of which were originally entitled differently but were republished with new names after being filmed.  Whilst today she lacks attention, in her day she was as popular and as highly regarded as Agatha Christie. 
    Ethel Lina White died in London on the 13th of August 1944 of ovarian cancer.  She was 68. 
    In her will she made a bizarre condition in order for her sister to receive her estate of £5737.  It read: "I give and bequeath unto Annis Dora White all that I possess on condition she pays a qualified surgeon to plunge a knife into my heart after death."   In life she had a fear of being buried alive.
