  A taut historical thriller for fans of The Queen's Gambit and James Bond. 
   
   
   
  December 1803: A French invasion fleet is poised to cross the Channel and storm the beaches of southern England. A member of Napoleon's inner circle—disaffected by Napoleon's creeping tyranny—contacts the British naval intelligence service in hopes of defecting to London. His escape plan calls for a rendezvous at an international chess tournament in Frankfurt—a rare opportunity for him to travel outside France. Naval intelligence sends its top man—and best chess player—Captain Thomas Grey, to orchestrate the Frenchman's escape to England. But Grey's mission changes dramatically when the defector demands that his pro-Napoleon daughter come with him—expecting Grey to act not just as escort but kidnapper. 
   
   
   
  The second novel in J. H Gelernter's already lauded Captain Grey series, Captain Grey's Gambit continues a story that is "smart, fast, twisty, and dangerous" (Lee Child) in a "richly imagined early nineteenth-century world" (Richard Snow).

  🦃 Jam maker and cranberry farm owner Berry Sweet is hosting her family's annual Thanksgiving when the dinner's most contentious relative—a notorious food traditionalist opposed to recipe changes—is found dead in the pantry, a jar of suspicious cranberry sauce shattered around her. The police suspect an allergic reaction, but Berry notices the cranberry sauce has been deliberately over-sweetened and the victim's family recipe cards contain coded notes about ingredient substitutions. With her family gathering turning sour and generations of tradition at stake, Berry must strain through family secrets to find the truth. Assisted by her canning club friends and the handsome food chemist analyzing pectin levels, Berry uncovers a scheme involving recipe forgery, fruit substitution, and a plot to alter family culinary legacy. From suspicious gel points that reveal improper cooking to sugar content that doesn't match heirloom recipes, every jiggly spoonful tells a story. But when Berry discovers the victim was systematically altering family recipes to cut out certain relatives from inheriting culinary secrets, she realizes the killer is protecting family unity more precious than any preserved fruit. With Thanksgiving dinner imminent and the real recipe forger still stirring the pot, Berry must set the truth before her family's traditions get permanently canned.

  A MAGIC SHOW WITH DEATH AS THE STAR GUEST… 
  December, 1925. 
  Posie Parker, London’s premier female Private Detective, is only just back in town when she receives an unexpected visitor. 
  The mysterious magician, Count Olli Onneri, pupil of the legendary American magician Harry Houdini, invites Posie to take part in the opening night of his show at the nearby Holborn Empire, helping him with a ‘magic mirror’ trick, the like of which has never been seen before. 
  When Posie accepts - in the cynical hope of reviving her flagging public profile - she enters a world which is not just about pretty doves being pulled out of hats, but one in which real danger lurks. 
  Before the show, Count Onneri confesses to Posie that he is receiving death threats delivered to his sumptuous suite at the Ritz. All of the threats arrive inscribed on mirrors. But why? And why is he so scared of a theatre dressing room he claims he has never been in before? 
  Up on stage, all is not well either. When Olli Onneri is brutally killed in front of his own audience during his ‘magic mirror’ trick, Posie vows to investigate, and quickly. 
  As Posie’s husband, Chief Inspector Lovelace, starts to pursue suspects, why can’t Posie shake off the feeling that the motive for the murder is right in front of them, in the Holborn Empire itself? 
  A totally gripping 1920s historical cozy novella! Fans of Agatha Christie and Downton Abbey are in for a treat.
