Beschreibung

A doctor begins to doubt her own sanity as she investigates a patient’s wild claims in this new mystery from the author of Lethal Resuscitation . . . Dr. Cathy Moreland is taken aback when an irate patient comes to her practice claiming his ailing wife has been kidnapped by one of her colleagues using a false name. Is someone impersonating a doctor, or is Adam Steer delusional? After looking into Adam’s claims, she feels reassured that no such thing actually happened—but continues to worry that Steer is mentally unwell. A visit to his home only leads to more alarm. No one answers the door, but Cathy overhears a conversation that convinces her something sinister is going on—and that she herself may be in danger. Cathy’s own bipolar disorder is well-managed, but she’s beginning to doubt her own sanity—and others are, too. As strange developments unfold, will she be able to make any sense of the events around her before everything spirals out of control?

This time he's in the dock where he belongs, accused of the same terrible crime. And Penny, a good daughter and now a good citizen, sits on the jury - his fate finally in her hands...

    Everyone in Wilbeth Green has something to hide, but she's about to uncover their secrets. 
     
    1956: In a quiet English village, the smoldering ruins of Rosemont Abbey have set the residents' tongues wagging, and everyone is quick to accuse troublemaker Paul Everly of the crime of arson. Paul has vanished without a trace, leaving only his plucky twin sister, Louisa, certain of his innocence. Fueling her conviction is an inexplicable connection--she felt her twin's death an hour before the abbey went up in flames. 
     
    Armed with nothing but her wit and her keen sense of intuition, Louisa embarks on her own investigation, challenging the dubious townspeople and the disdain of her aunt and uncle. Even Inspector Malcolm Sinclair, once Paul's closest friend, warns Louisa to abandon her pursuit. But Louisa is determined to solve a murder no one else believes was committed, even if it means unraveling secrets that could shake Wilbeth Green to its core.

    Ace Ventura meets the Addams Family!   A shambling horde of new cases hits Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. in the Unnatural Quarter. Dan and his gang—including his ghost girlfriend, feisty lawyer partner, cop best friend, and little vampire half-daughter Alvina—are out to seek justice, solve mysteries, and keep their heads on straight … or at least attached.   Alvina’s singing lessons for the Banshee Tabernacle Choir end on a sour note when the troll choir director plunges to her death from a high belfry, and the only witness is a deaf-as-a-post gargoyle who sits too close to the loud bells.   A frustrated imp, woefully unsuccessful in betting on the nightmare races, is dead certain that his bookie BatGN (GN for “gender neutral” to avoid copyright issues) is cheating him.   Francine, the salty bartender at the Goblin Tavern, is worried when One Fang the vampire—her on-again, off-again suitor—disappears without a trace.   A shady vendor discovers a market for living shrunken heads that are conversational as well as decorative, but the demand by far exceeds the supply.   A heartless therapist has ulterior motives when she counsels zombies, distracting them from their woes to concentrate not just on brains, but on self-improvement as well.   There is much at stake in the Unnatural Quarter, and it’s up to Dan Shamble to keep the streets dark and safe for monsters and humans alike. After all, the cases don’t solve themselves!   This zombie detective puts the P.I. back in R.I.P.

    Irish Mythology and modern Multi-universe theory meet in an action adventure. 
    A pre-Celtic artifact transforms into a bracelet and climbs up your arm. And now you can speak any language. And you can travel ‘time-lines’. Imagine a multiuniverse with a ‘Time-line’ for every possible future and present. 
    When Kate, the daughter of an American Professor, finds the bracelet, she and her friends are catapulted into the ‘Time-lines’. 
    Into a Time-line of modern day sophisticated Raptor dinosaurs that regard humans as gourmet food.  
    And they also walk with modern Pharaohs of Egypt. 
    Conchobar is a teenage run-away from ‘Tir-na- Nogh’ (Celtic mythological ‘Land of the Young.’) He has lost his bracelet to Asil, the daughter of a farmer who is a modern Raptor in his Time-line. 
    Harrington, their Shoggoth (a being who performs a task) is actually a reporter with the prestigious Irish Times.  
    The Jamaican aunt of Kate’s friend Lana accidentally uses Obeah magic to make Harrington fall in love with her, and the children have to bring him across the Time-lines to break the spell.  
    He becomes the Oracle in the ‘Chapel of the Hearing Ear’ in the Time–line of the modern Pharaoh, the ruler of the Western World. 
    The Egyptians think the Raptor Asil, in reality a teenager, is ‘Wepwawet, the jackal God of Abydos, Lord of the Necroplis.’ 
      
    The Raptors want to use Conchobar’s bracelet to transport the humans across from the Egyptian Time- line to sell them in their Raptor Time- line as ‘gourmet food.’ They offer to make Conchobar the Pharaoh if he will help them. 
    Kate and her team, aided by policewoman Mary, set out to put a stop to all this.
