Sinopse

LUPIN - The Adventures of Gentleman Thief is a captivating collection of tales featuring the charming anti-hero, Arsène Lupin, master thief and gentleman of the Belle Époque. Written in a style that deftly blends suspense, humor, and social commentary, Leblanc immerses readers in a world of intrigue and adventure, seasoned with exceptional wit and clever narrative twists. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century France, these stories not only entertain but also reflect the era's fascination with crime, morality, and the fluid boundaries between villainy and virtue. Maurice Leblanc, a pioneering figure in French crime fiction, drew inspiration from his own experiences and observations of society. Born in 1864 into a modest family, Leblanc's exposure to both the nobility and the lower classes shaped his understanding of human nature. His background as a journalist and playwright infused his storytelling with sharp, insightful critiques of class distinctions, making Lupin not just a thief, but a symbol of rebellion against societal constraints. Readers are invited to embark on a thrilling journey through the pages of LUPIN, where cunning escapades and a dash of romance await. This collection is a must-read for anyone with a taste for adventure, clever plotting, and the nuances of moral ambiguity.

    LET HER GO is book #1 in a long-anticipated new series by #1 bestseller and USA Today bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose bestseller Once Gone (a free download) has received over 7,000 five star ratings and reviews.
    
    Fiona Red, a brilliant but quirky FBI loner, spends most of her time in the lab or at crime scenes. She comes from a family used to being around death and bodies, her parents having ran a funeral parlor, and she would have ran the family business if not for a tragedy in her past: her sister was abducted when she was a teenager, and never found.
    
    Fiona remains determined to crack her sister’s case. But in the meantime, as an FBI agent, she applies her brilliance to catching killers and cracking cases that no one else can, as bugs are the first visitors to dead bodies.
    
    With her FBI partner out in the field, Fiona expects to stay behind the scenes.
    
    But Fiona, obsessed with catching killers, takes it one step too far, and may just find herself in the crosshairs of a killer herself.
    
    A page-turning and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured FBI agent, the Fiona Red series is a riveting mystery, packed with non-stop action, suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night.

    Detective Claudia Nunn has never seen anything so beautiful — or so horrifying. The intricate drawing is sent to her at work. It shows a man, naked on a bed. His arms are bound, his face contorted in agony, a huge blade stuck deep in his back. Gory? Certainly. Something to worry about? Not likely. Police get sent weird stuff all the time. Until Claudia is called to a crime scene that exactly recreates the drawing. 
     
    When another sketch arrives, Claudia thinks she might have a serial killer on her hands, who thinks he’s an artist. Claudia’s in a race against time to stop anyone else dying — and the next victim could be her. 
     
    Perfect for fans of Helen H. Durrant, Rachel Abbott, Biba Pearce, Angela Marsons and L.J. Ross.
