Sinopsis

'The plotting is excellent, with admirable narrative drive . an engaging and entertaining read' Historical Novels Review
January 1901. Abigail and Daniel Wilson, often lauded as 'The Museum Detectives', are on their way to the Great Pyramid of Khufu at Giza. Their explorations of the pyramid, including the Robbers' Tunnel, take a very sinister turn when they come upon the dead body of a man who has been brutally garrotted. Investigations by the local police reveal him to be Simeon McGruder, a wealthy American who is financing an excavation of the pyramids. When Daniel and Abigail return to Cairo they are asked by the American Embassy if they can take on the case, but they have a difficult path to tread as they try to keep different factions onside: the British and American authorities, the puppet Egyptian Government and officials, while at the same time facing lies and deviousness from McGruder's associates and friends.

    “Cat Chaser is just what one would expect from Elmore Leonard—quirky, peopled with oddball characters…and more twists and turns than a roller coaster.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer 
    “A superior example of gritty writing and violent action.” —New York Times  
    There are numerous reasons why Grand Master Elmore Leonard is considered “the coolest, hottest thriller writer in America” (Chicago Tribune) and “the greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps ever” (New York Times Book Review). Cat Chaser is one of them. A gripping, lightning-paced tale of an ex-soldier-turned Florida motel owner whose dangerous affair with the mistress of a Dominican general in exile—a former death squad leader—threatens to have lethal consequences…especially when drugs, double-cross, and murderous mob thugs are added into the mix. A classic thriller from crime fiction master who first brought us U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, currently of TV’s Justified, Cat Chaser proves once more that when the true greats of mystery and suspense are mentioned—John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, Robert Parker, et al—Elmore Leonard tops the list.

    ⛸️ Event planner Holly Berry is organizing the annual Frost Fair in the picturesque town of Snowflake Valley when the festival's star ice sculptor is found frozen solid inside his own masterpiece—an intricate ice castle. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Holly notices the ice pick lodged in the sculpture isn't the artist's usual tool and the frozen victim's expression suggests anything but accidental death. With the festival's future on thin ice, Holly must skate through a suspect list as long as the winter is cold. Assisted by the town's handsome new baker and her team of enthusiastic festival volunteers, Holly discovers the victim had melted plenty of hearts and made even more enemies. From sabotaged ice blocks to mysterious thermal camera footage, every clue points to a killer who knows their way around subzero temperatures. But as Holly gets closer to the truth, the killer sends a chilling warning by leaving a threatening message carved into her own ice sculpture. Now Holly must melt the icy hearts surrounding her to uncover the truth before she becomes the next frozen casualty at the Frost Fair.

Soccer mom Yvette Palmer lives an ordinary life in San Antonio, Texas when a box is delivered to her by mistake, and in taking it to its rightful owner—a crotchety neighbor named Mona who shares her back fence—is drawn into a strange and haunting tale. Mona’s ratty robe, mood swings, and secretive behavior all raise red flags, and Yvette is sure someone else is living there despite Mona’s claim to live alone, but Yvette is unable to break away as she listens to how Mona transformed from a young college woman about to be married to the odd, reclusive, ghost of a woman she is now. As Yvette listens to her neighbor's tale, she discovers a shocking connection, but doesn't know whether Mona's come to help or to harm her and her family.
