  🔮 The small, quirky town of Mystic Falls is famous for its psychic tourism, but when a celebrated medium dies during a public seance just moments after predicting her own murder, the community is shaken to its core. Luna, a logical-minded vintage shop owner and secret sleuth, is thrust into the investigation when her best friend becomes the prime suspect. Teaming up with a reluctantly charming detective and her intuitive black cat, Jinx, Luna must navigate a world of tarot cards, crystal balls, and spiritualists to separate fact from fiction. As she delves deeper, she uncovers hidden rivalries, fraudulent schemes, and a decades-old secret that someone is willing to kill to keep buried. Can Luna use her sharp wit and keen observation to expose the truth before the killer's next prediction—her demise—comes to pass?

  Mysterious socialite Dorian Gray is at the centre of Sherlock Holmes’ latest investigation in this astonishing, uncanny mash-up of Victorian mystery and horror 
   
  1903 
   
  Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson have tickets to the newly arrived Egyptian Circus. Holmes is puzzled by his brother Mycroft’s cryptic gift but is intrigued enough to attend the next production. 
   
  The performers, dressed as wondrous half-animal, half-human gods from Egyptian mythology, display superhuman agility and stunts. But they speak no Arabic, sequester themselves in the stables after each show and take orders from a mysterious ring master who is yet to be seen. And then one of the performers is murdered. 
   
  Holmes’s enquires lead him to Montebank Manor, the home of the beautiful and secretive socialite Dorian Gray. As Holmes digs deeper, he learns Gray is hiding much more than his involvement in a murder. It’s a darkly fantastical tale of lies, experimentation, hypnosis and wicked ambition.

  “Diabolically clever.”—New York Times 
  ""Horowitz dazzles with the brilliant third entry in his Susan Ryeland series . . . . [He is] is at the top of his game here, linking past and present in a virtuoso finale worthy of Agatha Christie.""—Publishers Weekly (starred review) 
  Murder links past and present once again in this mind-boggling metafictional mystery from Anthony Horowitz featuring detective Atticus Pünd and editor Susan Ryeland, stars of the New York Times bestsellers Magpie Murders and Moonflower Murders. 
  Editor Susan Ryeland has left her Greek island, her hotel and her Greek boyfriend, Andreas, in search of a new life back in England. 
  Freelancing for a London publisher, she's given the last job she wants: working on an Atticus Pünd continuation novel called Pünd’s Last Case. Worse still, she knows the new writer. Eliot Crace is the troubled grandson of legendary children’s author Miriam Crace who died twenty years ago. Eliot is convinced she was murdered—by poison. 
  To her surprise, Susan enjoys reading the manuscript which is set in the South of France and revolves around the mysterious death of Lady Margaret Chalfont, days before she was about to change her will. But when it is revealed that Lady Margaret was also poisoned, alarm bells begin to ring. 
  The more Susan reads, the clearer it becomes that Eliot has deliberately concealed clues about his grandmother’s death inside the book. 
  Desperately, Susan tries to prevent Eliot from putting himself in harm’s way—but his behaviour is becoming increasingly erratic. Another murder follows . . . and suddenly Susan finds herself to be the number one suspect.  
  Once again, the real and the fictional worlds have become dangerously entangled. And if Susan doesn't solve the mystery of Pünd’s Last Case, she could well be its next victim.

  Waiting for his car to be fixed, Mr. Satterthwaite sits in a tea shop called the Harlequin café, thinking of his friend Harley Quin, whom he hasn’t seen in many years. Then, in a burst of sunshine, the very same Mr. Quin walks through the door, along with his diligent dog, Hermes. Satterthwaite is telling him the very long history of the family he is off to visit, when their conversation is interrupted by the abrupt entrance of a member of that very same family, intent upon replacing her harlequin cups. Satterthwaite desperately asks Quin to accompany him on his trip, but the ever-enigmatic Quin simply leaves his friend with one word, “Daltonism.” What does that word mean, and what is the significance of Quin turning up at the tea shop on that day?

  Before an empire was forged in legend, a hidden resistance was born. In the shadows of Cyrus the Great’s rise, a secret Median brotherhood prepares to strike. But before they surface, one woman’s choices could alter everything. 
  Previously published as The Oracle of Delphi: That Which is Hidden. 
  Dive into an espionage thriller where the Magi operate in the shadows—not as mystics, but as political power players. 
  Thalia, High Priestess of Delphi, carries a terrible burden—one that could destroy the man she loves and shatter her own soul. Yet as she is drawn into the web of a sinister cabal plotting to assassinate Cyrus the Great, she discovers that her past and the present conflict are inextricably tied. In the face of betrayal, espionage, assassination plots, and ancient vendettas, Thalia must unravel the truth before it’s too late. 
  The Spy of Delphi: That Which is Hidden (Priests and Magi Book 1) is a gripping historical thriller of power struggles, secrecy, and survival. She escaped being High Priestess—but she couldn’t escape the forces controlling her. In a world of spies, political betrayal, and hidden agendas, freedom comes at a cost. Perfect for readers who love cloak-and-dagger intrigue, ancient thrillers, and the complex world of Greece and Persia. 
  I’m a classical archaeologist. This novel is plot- and character-based, with well-developed arcs, combining enigmatic mystery, espionage, and romantic threads against a richly researched historical backdrop. It’s grounded in scholarly work and carefully interweaves real events into the narrative with historical accuracy and depth. 
  Chapter One was originally written in poetic prose when the author was seventeen. Preserved in its original high quality form, it reflects the voice that first gave life to this world—before time, revision, and research deepened the rest.
