    When Jimmy left the force and started his "Delaney's Investigation Company", he expected to be living the life of Riley. A few months later, and the dust still hasn't had time to settle from the Preiss and Simms murders, but Jimmy's ongoing divorce has swallowed his imagined riches. What would Jimmy do without the city's thriving blackmail industry? That may go away, as candidate Mathews is promising to clean up Barnstow; but Jimmy isn't sure Mathews has the right idea. Read “The Right Idea” and see if you agree. 
    "The Right Idea" is a detective story with sci-fi elements, and follows "In a Flash" and "Mixed Signals" as the third Jimmy Delaney story. If you like a little self-deprecation and humor with some sci-fi elements thrown in (think "The Rockford Files" mashed up with the old BBC "The Avengers") this is the series for you..

    In the early 1930s, in southern Georgia, young Billy was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole for the murder of Luke Hampton, a crime young Billy did not commit. 
    During his first years in prison he trained the warden's tracking hounds, and with the help of his favorite hound, Ole Red, Billy escaped and made his way to northern Idaho. 
    After many years of worrying about being caught and wondering who had committed the murder, he told his grandson, Trey, a retired detective, about his past and how he had escaped from prison with the help of Ole Red. Even though the murder had been committed in the 1930s, Trey told his grandfather Bill he would go to Georgia and try to find out who committed the murder. Trey got more than he bargained for when during his investigation of the old murder, he uncovered crime and corruption that had been going on for decades in his grandfather's old hometown of Hardwood, Georgia. 
    Trey's investigation brought to light the person who murdered Luke Hampton so many years earlier and it was a shock and total surprise to him and his grandfather Bill.

    For the reserved and observant Mr. Satterthwaite—an aging socialite with a sharp eye for human nature—life takes a strange turn when he encounters Quin, a man who seems to appear only when tragedy is near and mystery calls. Together, they unravel crimes of passion, puzzles of fate, and stories long silenced by time.
    
    But who is Mr. Quin? He arrives out of nowhere, vanishes without a trace, and always seems to know more than he should. Is he merely a man? Or something much more mysterious?
    
    In this haunting collection of linked short stories, Christie blends intrigue with the uncanny, crafting a world where justice isn't always served by law—and sometimes, the truth wears a shadowed face.
