Witness At Large

Mignon G. Eberhart

Summary

A woman is witness to an act that could cause the man she loves to face trial for murder in this mystery thriller from an Edgar Award–winning author. 
 
She was known on the island as Sister and she always tried to do the right thing. But when she comes upon Tom, the man she secretly loves, pulling a woman’s body from the water, a hammer in his hand, Sister doesn’t know what to think. She doesn’t believe Tom is capable of killing. She can’t believe it.  
 
Before going to the police with what Sister saw, Tom proposes. If they marry, she won’t have to testify against him. How far will Sister go to protect the man she loves? And if Tom isn’t the murderer, the killer must still walk among the small island community—which means they could strike again . . .

In Port Ellis, there's no off-season for murder. 
 
 
 
Journalist Cat Conway is looking forward to an easy assignment covering a major wellness and self-actualization summit at the Pinerock Resort, featuring Bliss Bondar and Bree Guthrie, creators of the Welcome, Goddess empire and widows with attitude. Cat's mother, Marian Conway, bestselling author and defiantly mediocre parent, is on the agenda—and so is murder. 
 
 
 
When one of the influencers turns up dead, suspicion falls on the high-profile guests. Could the killer be a jealous business partner? Or the Instagram-famous poet?

Cat's pulled into investigating another celebrity death, but this time while struggling with the possible demise of her livelihood: The Quill & Packet is struggling financially, and may be headed toward its final edition.

And by Fire

Evie Hawtrey

Nigella Parker, Detective Inspector with the City Police, has a deep-rooted fear of fire and a talent for solving arson cases. When a charred figure is found curled beside Sir Christopher Wren’s Monument to the Great Fire of London, Nigella is dragged into a case pitting her against a murderous artist creating sculptures using burnt flesh.
Nigella partners with Colm O’Leary of Scotland Yard to track the arsonist across greater London. The pair are more than colleagues—they were lovers until O’Leary made the mistake of uttering three little words. But their past isn’t the only buried history as they race to connect the dots between an antique nail pulled from a dead man’s hands and a long-forgotten architect dwarfed by the life’s work of Sir Christopher Wren.
Wren, one of London’s most famous architects, is everywhere the pair turn. Digging into his legacy leads the DCIs into the coldest of cold cases: a search for a bookseller gone missing during the Great Fire of London. More than 350 years earlier, while looking for their friend, a second pair of detectives—a lady-in-waiting to the Queen and a royal fireworks maker—discovered foul play in the supposedly accidental destruction of St. Paul’s Cathedral. But did that same devilry lead to murder? And can these centuries-old crimes help catch a modern-day murderer?
As Nigella and O’Leary rush to decode clues, London’s killer-artist sets his sights on a member of the investigative team as the subject of his next fiery masterpiece.

The Anomaly

Craig A. Falconer

I guess saving the world once wasn't enough … 
First it was the auroras, lighting up Europe every night. 
Then came the weird clouds over Africa. 
The tidal shifts … the failing crops … the crazy changes to animal migration … 
And I think all of this is just the start. 
I don't buy the official line that these are natural occurrences. 
Not anymore. Not since a whistleblower hid a coded message in my invitation for an upcoming commemoration ceremony on The Vita. 
Now I know the truth—that Earth is in serious danger from the side-effects of their reckless research. 
Since the moment I found out, I’ve known what I have to do. 
Three years ago, I went into space and almost died saving the world from a madman’s evil plan. 
When I made it home, I swore I'd never leave my family behind again. 
But to make sure we'll still have a planet to call home in another three years, I have to go back. 
And this time, they're coming with me …
