  The Mysterious Affair at the Met

  A  favorite destination—even for New Yorkers—is the venerable Metropolitan  Museum of Art. On this particular day, “the Met,” as generally known, experiences an unusually large number of visitors. Visitors have their choice of viewing over two million works of art spanning five millennia of cultures worldwide. But some among them are up to something more sinister.
   
  At one point, the  Met’s surveillance cameras’ lenses capture “a mysterious-looking couple” amid the many visitors strolling about the many galleries. The pair is dripping wet in their matching taupe Burberry trench coats. Just  as the two of them walk past Soleil dans le Ciel de Saint-Paul,
   a masterpiece of Marc Chagall, a large tourist group—who, oddly enough,  all are wearing distinctive red-and-white-striped vinyl raincoats—converges around them. But it is what happens next that baffles the museum’s surveillance crew. After “the mysterious-looking couple” pulls off their prank, they and the large tourist group walk out  of that particular camera’s range, becoming submerged elsewhere in the interminable galleries of the gigantic museum.
   
  But when a docent notices “something strange” with Chagall’s Soleil dans le Ciel de Saint-Paul,
   in short order, the museum-goers inside the Chagall gallery hear “High Alert!” and watch in horror as a heavy metal grille drops down from the ceiling to the floor, effectively locking them inside the gallery.
   
  And thus began what later came to be called The Mysterious Affair at the Met.

  A banker asks Holmes to investigate after a "Beryl Coronet" entrusted to him is damaged at his home. Awakened by noise, he had found his son, Arthur, holding the damaged coronet. Arthur refuses to speak, neither admitting guilt nor explaining himself. Footprints in the snow outside the house tell Holmes that the banker's niece had conspired with a blackguard to steal the coronet; Arthur had discovered the crime in progress and the coronet had been damaged during his struggle to prevent it being stolen. He had refused to tell his father the truth of the crime because of his love for his cousin.

  The eighth book of this dark urban fantasy series follows necromancer Eric Carter through a world of vengeful gods and goddesses, mysterious murders, and restless ghosts. 
   
   
   
  If there's one thing Eric Carter can count on, it's his past coming back to bite him in the ass. 
   
   
    
  Gabriela Cortez, La Bruja, has had her soul trapped . . . somewhere, and the only one who knows how to get it back is the Oracle of Las Vegas, a powerful artifact that Carter helped create almost thirty years before. It doesn't just predict the future—it makes things happen, influencing events to reach the goal it wants. 
   
   
    
  Only somebody's gone and stolen it, attempting to turn it into an artifact that doesn't just change the future, but also the past. 
   
   
    
  Eric needs to find it and steal it back before this comes to pass. If he doesn't, Gabriela's soul is lost. And quite possibly the future as well.
