Sinopse

Louis Joseph Vance's 'The Lone Wolf' is a classic detective mystery novel that follows the adventures of a sophisticated and charming thief turned detective. Set in the early 20th century, the book is filled with suspense, daring heists, and clever plot twists that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. Vance's writing style is engaging and fast-paced, reminiscent of other popular mystery writers of his time. The story is intricately woven with unexpected turns and unexpected alliances, making it a captivating read for fans of the genre. Louis Joseph Vance, known for his creation of the popular character 'The Lone Wolf', was a prolific writer of mystery and adventure novels during the early 1900s. With a keen eye for detail and a knack for creating complex characters, Vance's work continues to be celebrated for its wit and charm. His own experiences and observations likely inspired the creation of the clever and enigmatic protagonist in 'The Lone Wolf'. I highly recommend 'The Lone Wolf' to mystery lovers and fans of classic detective fiction. Louis Joseph Vance's masterful storytelling and the exciting plot of this novel make it a must-read for anyone looking for an entertaining and thrilling mystery novel.

    Two girls 
    A whitewater rafting town 
    And a serial killer who is just getting his feet wet... 
    Emmy has always been impulsive. She is no longer a minor and has aged out of foster care. When her best friend, Amber, is the target of a perverted uncle who lives in the basement of her group home, they plan her escape. 
    They head for Canada, where Amber will be safe, and the foster care system can no longer control their lives. When they come across a whitewater rafting brochure, they decide to take a detour for one last adventure before leaving the country. Emmy and Amber have no idea it will be a decision that will forever change their fates. 
    The rafting town is so far in the middle of nowhere that Emmy’s car radio catches nothing but static. They consider turning around until a truck pulls up, loaded with hot whitewater rafting guides and rubber rafts--just the fun they were looking for. Ignoring every instinct, they turn off the pavement and follow the truck down an isolated dirt road. They end up in Lodell, the town where a girl went missing the previous summer…and she will not be the last.

    I’m pregnant. Yep, you heard that right. Pregnant. And while I’m trying really hard not to freak out about that, Hollow Cove is busy preparing for its Headless Horseman reenactment—a big deal around here, apparently. But just as the town is gearing up for spooky fun, events take a real-life terrifying twist. A body is discovered, and carved into it are the words: “Give it back.” 
    Before I can even fully process the fact that I’ve got a tiny, magic-wielding bun in the oven, more bodies start showing up—the kind with creepy messages and a very dead vibe. Suddenly, Hollow Cove feels less like home and more like the set of a horror flick. 
    My aunts, badass witches that they are, seem to know more than they’re letting on, and the pressure’s on to figure out who—or what—is behind the murders before the whole town goes into full-on panic mode. Oh, and did I mention my powers are acting up at the worst possible times? Perfect timing, as always. 
    It’s a race against the clock to stop the killer, keep my baby safe, and maybe, just maybe, survive long enough to figure out how the hell I’m supposed to be a mom. Because in Hollow Cove, the monsters don’t wait—and neither does murder.
