Sinossi

In "Behind the Green Door," Mildred A. Wirt deftly weaves a captivating tale that combines elements of mystery and adventure, drawing readers into a richly textured narrative. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, the novel explores themes of identity and resilience through the lens of its young protagonist. Wirt's evocative prose, characterized by vivid imagery and a playful yet insightful tone, invites readers to question societal norms and embrace self-discovery. The book was published during a period when women's voices in literature were beginning to gain prominence, positioning it within a broader literary movement that sought to address both personal and social exploration. Mildred A. Wirt, an influential figure in children'Äôs literature, was notably one of the first authors to create strong, independent female characters. Her experiences as a writer for the popular "Nancy Drew" series, coupled with her own journey of overcoming barriers in a male-dominated literary world, profoundly shaped her storytelling. Wirt's commitment to celebrating youthful courage and pushing against societal constraints is evident throughout the narrative, making her work both relevant and inspiring. "Behind the Green Door" is a must-read for those who appreciate literature that challenges conventions while delivering an engaging story. Wirt'Äôs skillful storytelling not only entertains but also encourages readers to reflect on their own paths of self-discovery, making it a significant addition to both young adult literature and feminist literary studies.

    A gay police detective investigates the dark corners of sunlit O'ahu 
    Mahu---a generally negative Hawaiian term for homosexuals---introduces a unique character to detective fiction. Kimo Kanapa'aka is a handsome, mixed-race surfer living in Honolulu, a police detective confronting his homosexuality in an atmosphere of macho bravado within the police force. A man of intelligence, strength, honesty, resourcefulness, and intense dedication to the people of Hawaii, Kimo is a hard-boiled hero you will never forget. Fast-paced, intricately plotted, thoroughly enjoyable, this is a sexy, surprisingly moving mystery about discovering oneself as much as catching a killer. 
    Kimo Kanapa'aka's world turns upside down in Mahu. At 32, the hero of Māhū has reached the pinnacle of his profession, detective on the Honolulu Police Department's homicide squad, based at the Waikīkī station. But a difficult murder case, as well as turmoil in his personal life, is about to threaten everything he has worked for. 
    A life-threatening drug bust in chapter 1 makes Kimo realize that it's time to stop lying to himself. He's drawn to the Rod and Reel Club, a gay bar in Waikīkī, where he has a couple of beers and begins the long process of accepting his attraction to other men. Leaving the club, though, he stumbles onto two men dropping a dead body in an alley, and he launches himself into a nightmare where his private life becomes public news. 
    Kimo's pursuit of this case takes him from the seamy underside of Chinatown to the elegance of million-dollar homes in Maunalani Heights, from gay bars where young men stride naked down runways to bloody crime scenes.

    Meet maverick British detective DI Skelgill... "mad, bad and just a little bit cozy." 
     
    WHEN A HIGH-FLYING ADMAN is stabbed to death on a company weekend in the English Lake District, local detective Daniel Skelgill finds himself wrenched from his rural Cumbrian comfort zone. 
     
    As the investigation unfolds, DI Skelgill is led a merry dance between London and Edinburgh, at every turn confronted by uncooperative suspects – colleagues, wife and lovers of the deceased – each of whom is possessed of motive and opportunity. 
     
    Is this a crime of passion, a professional hit, or a cleverly calculated killing borne out of greed and jealousy? 
     
    In this traditional-style whodunit, the case can only be solved by carefully piecing together the essential clues – but Skelgill is running out of time. The patience of his superiors wears thin, while the actions of an anonymous agent provocateur serve only to advance the moment when the killer must strike again.

    To many, Shannon’s was the quintessential Irish pub—a brawl or two wasn’t out of the question, especially when interlopers decided to take matters into their own hands.

    Tourists weren’t particularly welcomed. 
    Keegan checked his watch, questioning whether he made the right decision—tipping a pint with someone he didn’t know wasn’t his thing, causing him to question ulterior motives. And, when he thought about it, there really wasn’t any reason for Smokey to set up a meeting. So, the question became . . . 
    What did he have to gain? 
    Fresh from his latest Washington D.C. case, Detective Decklin Kilgarry knows he needs a change—a different time. A different place.

Convinced his expertise can bring the killer to justice, there are those less than thrilled when he joins the case, prompting him to go undercover into the seamy side of Irish life.
