Synopsis

Max Brand's 'The Black Rider' is a riveting exploration of the American West, intertwining themes of justice, revenge, and redemption. Set against the expansive backdrop of frontier life, Brand employs a vivid literary style that combines gripping action with rich character development, oscillating between the stark realities of survival and the romantic ideals of the cowboy hero. The novel integrates elements of classic Western literature while challenging the archetypal narratives, making it a significant contribution to the genre. Max Brand, the pen name of Frederick Schiller Faust, was an influential figure in early 20th-century American literature. Following a tumultuous childhood and a series of jobs that led him to the heart of the West, Brand infused his narratives with firsthand experiences, making them authentic and relatable. His background in journalism and theatre also contributed to his flair for dialogue and dramatic pacing, evident throughout 'The Black Rider.' This novel is a must-read for anyone intrigued by the complexities of the Western genre or the human condition. Brand's masterful storytelling resonates with both timeless themes and the grit of frontier authenticity, beckoning readers to immerse themselves in a world where the line between hero and villain often blurs.

    Maxim Thorn is a ruthless Alpha, a mobster king who rules his pack with an iron fist. He’s also my only hope. 
    As a shifter from the wrong side of the tracks who’s just been rejected by my abusive fated mate, I don’t have a lot of options in this city. 
    I have no choice but to make a deal with the devil. 
    But that doesn’t mean I’m powerless. I have an ace up my sleeve, a bargaining chip Maxim can’t resist. He wants revenge on my pack leaders for poisoning his father, and I hold the key to his enemy’s destruction. 
    In exchange for one month of protection from my ex and his friends, I promise to give Maxim what he wants—me. 
    I expect honoring the bargain to be pure hell. I don’t expect to ignite every time we touch or to develop a soft spot for this wounded wolf. His blood calls to mine, and I’m starting to think this wicked king may have a heart after all. 
    But is there room in his world for love? Or am I destined to become a pawn in his dark game? 
    *This is book one in a quartet. It ends in a cliffhanger.*

    Written during the final stages of her illness, "The Garden Party and Other Stories" is full of a sense of urgency and was Katherine Mansfield's last collection to be published during her lifetime. The fifteen stories featured, many of them set in her native New Zealand, vary in length and tone from the opening story, "At the Bay, " a vivid impressionistic evocation of family life, to the short, sharp sketch "Mrs. Brill, " in which a lonely woman's precarious sense of self is brutally destroyed when she overhears two young lovers mocking her. Sensitive revelations of human behaviour, these stories reveal Mansfield's supreme talent as an innovator who freed the story from its conventions and gave it a new strength and prestige.

When victims appear with a rare moth left at each crime scene, it’s up to expert FBI forensic examiner and entomologist Fiona Red to decode the insect-infused enigma.

    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 run a funeral parlor, and she would have run 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.
