  In this Hugo Award–winning alternative history classic—the basis for the Amazon Original series—the United States lost World War II and was subsequently divided between the Germans in the East and the Japanese in the West. 
    
  It’s America in 1962. Slavery is legal once again. The few Jews who still survive hide under assumed names. In this world, we meet characters like Frank Frink, a dealer of counterfeit Americana who is himself hiding his Jewish ancestry; Nobusuke Tagomi, the Japanese trade minister in San Francisco, unsure of his standing within the bureaucracy and Japan's with Germany; and Juliana Frink, Frank's ex-wife, who may be more important than she realizes. 
    
  These seemingly disparate characters gradually realize their connections to each other just as they realize that something is not quite right about their world. And it seems as though the answers might lie with Hawthorne Abendsen, a mysterious and reclusive author, whose best-selling novel describes a world in which the US won the War … The Man in the High Castle is Dick at his best, giving readers a harrowing vision of the world that almost was. 
    
  “The single most resonant and carefully imagined book of Dick’s career.”—New York Times

  Sam saw him enter the club at the opposite end of the room. He was a dark shadow against the night. His suit was precisely tailored, and it hugged every curve of his six-foot-five frame. The collar of his black shirt brushed the dark blonde curls he almost never bothered to cut and set off the equally sharp black image of his leather eye patch. One ice blue eye lit up the shadows, stark and unavoidable. 
   
   
   
  Samantha O'Neill has been running for twenty years. She's been fleeing from a man with an ice blue gaze, and possessed of a terrible magic. 
  For twenty years she's managed to escape him. But all hunts come to an end. And now, in the lengthening darkness of an autumn Chicago night, an ominous footfall in the subway and a shadow over her solitary form force Sam to at last come face-to-face with her brutally beautiful pursuer. 
   
   
   
  Jack Colton assumes their forms in the night, shifting to become the predators that grown men fear. Powerful, sleek, graceful, and deadly, he moves through the darkness, watching. Waiting. And that powerful blue gaze finds Sam everywhere she goes. He knows what she is, and he knows what that means. He knows the prophecy. Jack has fought for twenty years to protect that secret, killed to protect the woman who keeps it, and if he must, he will die to see it come to its fruition. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  "A model of everything a detective story should be – a monument, a cathedral amongst detective stories." -Arnold Palmer in the London Sphere.  
  "It is difficult now to grasp the extent of Van Dine's success in America, and to a much lesser extent in Britain. ... Van Dine's second book was on the American best-seller lists for months ... It was said that he had lifted the detective story on to the plane of a fine art, and by his own account he was the favourite crime writer of two Presidents." - Julian Symons  
  When the celebrity of New York: Margaret "The Canary" Odell is found strangled in her apartment, District Attorney John FX Markham initially thinks it a commonplace robbery and murder. But his learned friend and amateur sleuth Philo Vance disagrees, and soon persuades him that this isn't a robbery at all... but murder...  
  The lines of inquiry lead to four men, but which one of them did it? Which one of them had the nerve and daring for such an audacious crime as... The Canary Murder?  
  Narrated by Michael Ward

  🧵 Vintage sewing machine repair shop owner and mechanic Stella Stitch is preparing for the annual Quilt Show when the show's wealthy patron—a notorious fast-fashion mogul—is found dead in her workshop, electrocuted by a sabotaged antique sewing machine from her own collection. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Stella notices the machine has been deliberately rewired and the victim's final garment contains hidden messages in the stitching patterns. With her repair business under investigation and the sewing community divided, Stella must thread together an investigation as complex as a sewing machine's inner workings. Assisted by her sewing guild and the handsome electrical engineer who admires her vintage machine collection, Stella uncovers a scheme involving machine theft, industrial espionage, and a plot to destroy small sewing businesses. From suspicious bobbin tension that reveals tampering to stitch patterns that don't match the machine's capabilities, every mechanical detail tells a story. But when Stella discovers the victim was systematically putting local tailors out of business to acquire their vintage machine collections, she realizes the killer is protecting a community more tightly woven than any fabric. With the quilt show approaching and the real saboteur still operating, Stella must piece together the truth before her own machine gets permanently unplugged.
