Sinopsis

From a British Golden Age author “in a class by himself among detective story writers,” Sir John Appleby solves an art world crime (The Times Literary Supplement). 
 
When Sir John Appleby is persuaded by Lady Appleby to attend an art exhibit, he believes he is only appeasing his wife, a sculptress herself, and quite the art collector, too. But when Appleby learns the show is a memorial exhibition for recently murdered artist Gavin Limbert, his interest is piqued, to say the least. Especially when Limbert’s latest masterpiece is stolen from the gallery right under his nose. But this is no matter for Scotland Yard’s most brilliant inspector. Once Appleby puts his clever mind to the case, he’ll follow every twist and turn in this mystery until he uncovers the astonishing truth. 
 
Praise for Michael Innes and the Inspector Appleby series 
 
“Wickedly witty.” —Daily Mail 
 
“As farfetched and literary as Sayers.” —The Cambridge Companion to Crime Fiction

    After the harrowing events that entangled her in Deadwood, Brigid Reardon just wants to move west and get on with her new life in America. But shortly after traveling to Cheyenne to join her brother Seamus, she finds herself caught up in another deadly mystery—beginning with her discovery of a neighbor's body on the plains near their homes. Was Ella murdered? Are either of the two men in Ella's life responsible? With Seamus away on a cattle drive, her friend Padraic possibly succumbing to a local's charms, and the sheriff seemingly satisfied with Ella's fate, it falls to Brigid to investigate what really happened, which puts her in the crosshairs of one of Cheyenne's cattle barons, called "big sugars" in these parts. All she really wants is something better than a crumbling, soddy homestead on the desolate plains of Wyoming—and maybe, just maybe, she wants Padraic—but life, it seems, has other plans: this young immigrant from Ireland is going to be a detective on the western frontier of 1880s America, even if it kills her. 
     
     
     
    Loosely based on the true story of Ellen Watson in Cheyenne in 1889, The Big Sugar continues the adventure begun in Mary Logue's celebrated mystery The Streel, which introduced a "gritty, charming, clever protagonist" (Kirkus Reviews).

    When six childhood friends get together for their annual girl's weekend at the beach in Port Aransas, none could have believed it would be for the very last time. Nina Evans had been saddled with organizing the weekend each year, pulling five of her oldest friends together for a few nights of fun and reminiscing, the one time a year they saw each other. Each year was much the same—laughter, dancing, and lots of drinking. This time was no different. That is, until Jones walked out of the dance club with a stranger. 
     
     
     
    Detective Quinn Stewart spends her days on Beach Patrol, living simply on the island after getting burned out on crime and booze while working in Corpus Christi. The pace was slower, murder was rare, and she lived stress-free. That changed on a Friday night in late May. 
     
     
     
    When the women leave and head back to their homes and families, Nina is left to deal with Jones's death alone. She finds herself drawn to the detective as details emerge on the double life Jones led, making Nina realize, despite a lifelong friendship, she never really knew Jones. As the case unravels, Nina finds herself embroiled in the middle of it. The one constant—Quinn Stewart's unwavering commitment to finding the truth . . . and keeping her safe.
