  In Still County, some things won't stay buried. Others won't stop burning. 
   
  When a mild-mannered accountant is found gruesomely murdered in his modest home, Sheriff Rita Jonas knows it’s no random crime. The victim had political ties to powerful men that could unravel what's left of Still County's fragile peace. 
   
  Clues lead back to Tom Gabriel, the town's imprisoned former kingmaker who still wields influence from behind bars. Now, Rita must walk a razor's edge: digging into Gabriel's past while trying not to destroy her future with his son, Cash. 
   
  Sparks fly in Rita's personal life, as a string of suspicious fires spread across the county. Each blaze is more dangerous than the last. Someone's sending a message. 
   
  With Deputy Jason Perry at her side and the town's pressure mounting, Rita must unmask a killer, track down an arsonist, and decide just how much she's willing to risk for love—and for justice. 
   
  Still Burning is the third book in the Still County Thrillers series by Lauren Street. Perfect for fans of slow-burn suspense, buried secrets, and sheriffs who don't flinch.

  Three women. One mission. Enemies everywhere. 
  May 1944. When spy Elisabeth de Mornay, code name Cécile, notices a coded transmission from an agent in the field does not bear his usual signature, she suspects his cover has been blown—something that is happening with increasing frequency. With the situation in occupied France worsening and growing fears that the resistance has been compromised, Cécile is ordered behind enemy lines. 
  Having rendezvoused with her fellow agents, Léonie and Dominique, together they have one mission: help the resistance destabilize German operations to pave the way for the Normandy landings. 
  But the life of a spy is never straightforward, and the in-fighting within the resistance makes knowing who to trust ever more difficult. With their lives on the line, all three women will have to make decisions that could cost them everything—for not all their enemies are German.

  The Return of Sherlock Holmes -...

  "'Holmes,' I cried.'Is it really you? Can it indeed be that you are alive? Is it possible that you succeeded in climbing out of that awful abyss?'"
  
  The Return of Sherlock Holmes (1905) was the first Holmes collection to be published since 1893, after his creator killed him off by having him plunge into the Reichenbach Falls while battling his nemesis, Professor Moriarty.
  
  Years later and in response to public demand, Conan Doyle resurrected the great detective in the thirteen tales that comprise this collection. From cryptic messages carved in childish code to the shadowy dealings of blackmailers, spies, and master criminals, Holmes and Dr. Watson plunge into mysteries that test the limits of deduction and loyalty alike. And Holmes is revealed as a man sharpened, not diminished, by his long absence—a man who has seen the world's darkness and returned with his intellect keener than ever.
  
  The stories included here are:
  
  - The Adventure of the Empty House
  - The Adventure of the Norwood Builder
  - The Adventure of the Dancing Men
  - The Adventure of the Solitary Cyclist
  - The Adventure of the Priory School
  - The Adventure of Black Peter
  - The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton
  - The Adventure of the Six Napoleons
  - The Adventure of the Three Students

  - The Adventure of the Second Stain
  Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859—1930) was born in Edinburgh, where he qualified as a doctor before going on to create Sherlock Holmes, one of the most vivid and enduring characters in English fiction. Holmes, whose talent for deduction was modelled on the skill of Doyle's professor, Dr. Joseph Bell, first appeared in the full-length novel, A Study in Scarlet, in 1887. While Doyle wrote other works of fiction and non-fiction, none of those captured the public's imagination in the same way as consulting detective Sherlock Holmes and his friend and chronicler, Dr. John Watson, who have become one of the most well-known detective duos in literature.
  
  Later in life, Doyle became a prominent public figure, known for his humanitarian campaigns and his controversial interest in spiritualism. His legacy endures in the enduring popularity of Sherlock Holmes and the countless adaptations inspired by his work.

  Anatole France - A Short Story...

  Anatole France

  François-Anatole Thibault was born on the 16th April 1844 in Paris, France, the son of a bookseller and bibliophile. 
   
  He studied at the Collège Stanislas, a private Catholic school, and after graduating joined his father in the bookstore, which specialised in works on the French Revolution.  Several years later he secured a position as cataloguer at Bacheline-Deflorenne and at Lemerre before being appointed librarian for the French Senate in 1876. 
   
  His literary career had begun as a journalist and as a poet before publishing his novel ‘Le Crime de Sylvestre Bonnard’ in 1881.  Praised for its elegant prose, it won him a prestigious prize from the Académie Française, which later elected him to its storied ranks. 
   
  His works were profound and thoughtful and often couched in surreal and outlandish expressions; whether penguins baptized by a near-blind Abbott transformed themselves into humans or of a guardian angel who becomes an atheist, his stories turned established thought into startling literature. 
   
  His short stories run in the same vein.  The premise may seem plausible but his distinctive style turns them into an individual viewpoint which invokes both discussion and admiration. 
   
  In his private life his relationships with women were often turbulent.  A Socialist, he was a fervent supporter of the Russian Revolution and the early years of the French Communist party. 
   
  He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1921 but the following year his entire canon of works was placed on the prohibited list of the Catholic Church, which he thought of as a credit to his name. 
   
  Anatole France died on the 12th October 1924 in Tours.  He was 80.
