  Tradition Isn't the Only Thing on the Line This Christmas 
   
   
   
  As Christmas rounds the bend, Eliza Lee Elliott struggles with her grandfather's death. Though her faith has carried her through the grief, working at the Appalachian Express has kept her sane, especially her new task of coordinating The Santa Run. Pine Valley's oldest tradition not only serves the community, the run gives her purpose. 
   
   
   
  Bennett Olsen is tired of city life. Something's got to give, and when McCoy Railway purchases the Appalachian Express, it gives in a big way. Supervising the Kentucky acquisition is his chance to slow down and win back the attention of his boss—and father—with a job well done. 
   
   
   
  When an accident threatens the Santa Run, Eliza and Bennett are pushed together at every turn, making their growing attraction impossible to ignore. As time ticks down to the event, tradition isn't the only thing in jeopardy. Hearts are on the line, with or without a train on the tracks.

  For the firm of Carpenter and Quincannon, Professional Detective Services, stopping extortionists is not only grand, but excitingly lucrative. 
  When a pleasant afternoon’s bicycling through Golden Gate Park with a friend ends with the revelation of threatening letters, followed by a gunshot in a mansion garden, Sabina Carpenter knows this is a case that demands her immediate and undivided attention. 
  The questions her partner John Quincannon has to unravel are not difficult: Wrixton, a wealthy banker, has met his extortionist’s first demand, but the order to pay another $5,000 is too much to face. The banker’s real problem is something he doesn’t want to reveal. That was fine with the detective, and when he was informed that some private letters were involved and Wrixton absolutely needed them back, there was nothing more Quincannon needed in the way of background. As with so many of San Francisco’s elite, the bedroom doors never seemed to stay shut. 
  That was the easy part; far more difficult was the matter of the dead courier, murdered most foully in a locked room within a locked room, creating a trail that will take John Quincannon through most of San Francisco’s less savory places and end with a riverboat trip that is anything but a relaxing cruise. 
  The Dangerous Ladies Affair is the next thrilling installment in this charming historical mystery series from MWA Grand Masters Marcia Muller and Bill Pronzini.

  When she catches her fiancé Tristan cheating with her best friend Charlie—while three months pregnant—she doesn’t cry or scream. Instead, she walks away calmly, hiding a decades-long grudge that’s about to ignite. What seems like acceptance is actually the start of a twisted revenge plan targeting the “perfect” people who’ve haunted her life. 
  As she lures the charming James into her orbit and uncovers shocking family ties, every step pulls Tristan, Charlie, and even her own mother into a web of lies, betrayal, and irreversible consequences. This dark, suspenseful tale peels back the layers of envy, parental pressure, and the cost of letting resentment fester. 
  It’s a gripping reminder: when we let others define our worth, everyone loses. Dive into a story where revenge burns bright, but redemption is nowhere in sight.

  A British vaudeville performer turned movie cop finds himself in a real-life crime story. 
    
  It’s 1916, and Warwick Easton’s traveling show has landed him in California. Out of money and about to return to England, Easton gets lucky when silent movie star and “King of Comedy” Mack Sennett offers him a job performing slapstick comedy stunts as a Keystone Cop. 
    
  At Keystone Film Studios, he runs into silent-era comedy legends, including Mabel Normand and Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle, but the laughs turn sour as things quickly start to go awry. Known in his new role only as “Keystone,” Easton finds the line between cop and comedian starts to blur, especially when a series of tragedies strikes the studio. The gory death of a stunt actor on a roller coaster seems like an accident, but then a bludgeoned body is discovered in a bungalow and Amber Honeybee, the beautiful but troubled actress Easton has befriended, vanishes. Easton has no choice but to step into the role of a real detective. Does he have what it takes to unravel the mystery in time and save the girl?
