Beschreibung

Often referred to as the "American Agatha Christie," Mary Roberts Rinehart did much to popularize and refine the mystery genre in the United States. The Street of Seven Stars follows an American musician, Harmony Wells, to Austria, where she has gone to hone her violin skills. Though the dashing doctor she meets there appears to want to protect her, there may be more to his motives than meets the eye.

    A similar thing happened to Mattie's cousin. This girl is being kidnapped. Trafficked. The note isn't enough for the police to care, but Mattie does. She jumps into her decrepit Toyota wagon and flies onto the highway, wasting no time. She's got to stop that mini-van before it reaches Salt Springs. She's got to save that girl before she's sold to the highest bidder.

When his men bring her to him, he'll finally have the negotiating power he needs to overthrow the Cuban government. He'll have the power to make the United States listen to Cuba for once. 
    It's only a matter of time. 
    His men are already in Salt Springs, waiting for her.

    In a war-torn world, they've found their sanctuary... if not for those bodies in the basement. 
    The rebels against the Happiness-Program have finally found a place to hide, an abandoned resort in Iceland complete with a luxury hotel. Everything would be perfect here if not for their memories, haunting them each in different ways. 
    For Bill, it's the friend he left behind in California... not knowing whether she's alive or dead. For Luna, it's the man from City of Serbia, inviting her to give up on the rebellion and return home to him. For Ava it's the woman who used to take care of her, and who she expects to hear from any day. 
    For rebel leader Kaarina, it's the need for revenge... and the basement of the hotel may give her the opportunity. Because the basement contains four stasis capsules, and the unconscious bodies of four men and women... the founders of the Happiness-Program. 
    If they can wake up the founders, the rebels could finally be free forever. They could strike a blow against the enemy, turning the tide in the ongoing war. But waking up the all-but-dead can have unforeseen consequences...

    Six months ago, my husband tried to kill me. 
    Now, my sons and I are living in an old Victorian house passed down to me by my uncle. The house may be big, but the town is small... it's safe, which is something I haven't felt in a very long time. And best of all, it's very far away from my ex. 
    As soon as we move in, however, I discover that this house has an eerie reputation. Rumor has it my uncle was a mysterious man accused of atrocious things, which is drawing a lot of unwanted attention our way. 
    And the last thing we need is attention; we need to stay invisible if we want to stay alive. 
    But how can we remain invisible when things keep happening in this house? Strange things. Horrific things that has the whole town watching. Maybe even him. We were supposed to be safe here, but it's becoming glaringly apparent to me that we're in real danger. 
    Then I remind myself: I'm a mother. 
    And a mother will do anything to protect her children.
