  🪡 Antique needle case collector and restoration expert Casey Sharp is curating a historical sewing tools exhibit when the exhibit's wealthy benefactor—a notorious collector with questionable acquisition methods—is found dead in her workshop, a rare Victorian needle case mysteriously emptied of its contents around him. The police suspect a heart attack, but Casey notices the needle arrangement forms a deliberate pattern and the victim's collection inventory shows gaps that match recently reported thefts. With her exhibit postponed and the collecting community pointing fingers, Casey must pin down the facts before her reputation gets punctured. Assisted by her antique tools society and the handsome museum metallurgist analyzing metal compositions, Casey uncovers a scheme involving needle case forgeries, stolen historical pieces, and a sophisticated operation altering provenance records. From suspicious patina patterns that reveal artificial aging to metal alloys that don't match the period, every needle slot tells a story. But when Casey discovers the victim was systematically "authenticating" forged needle cases for insurance fraud, she realizes the killer is protecting museum integrity more valuable than any collection. With the grand opening approaching and the real forger still needling the community, Casey must thread together the evidence before she becomes the next target in this pointed game.

  When a Spanish priest learns of a skeptical organization’s PR stunt to replicate the Shroud of Turin, Graham Eliot becomes part of his plan to counteract the bad publicity with a new revelation about the Shroud’s authenticity. And the revelation relies on Graham secretly photographing the Shroud as well as the Sudarium of Oviedo—a relic believed to be a cloth wrapped around the head of Jesus as he died on the cross. 
  On the day Graham is to begin, the project is canceled without explanation, and a video of him calling the Shroud a fake and accusing the church of hiding something appears online. To defend his reputation, Graham must rely on the help of his eccentric translator as well as the skeptic who posted the video. But the alliance is shattered when a death occurs during the skeptic’s annual convention in America—and Graham’s graduate student is the one suspected of the murder.

  Loyally accompanying a mysterious knife-wielding gentleman named Jack on his midnight rounds through the murky streets of London, good dog Snuff is busy helping his master collect the grisly ingredients needed for an unearthly rite that  
  will take place not long after the death of the moon. But Snuff and his master are not alone. All manner of participants, both human and not, are gathering with their ancient tools and their animal familiars in preparation for the dread night. It  
  is brave, devoted Snuff who must calculate the patterns of the Game and keep track of the Players—the witch, the mad monk, the vengeful vicar, the Count who sleeps by day, the Good Doctor and the hulking Experiment Man he fashioned  
  from human body parts, and a wild-card American named Larry Talbot—all the while keeping Things at bay and staying a leap ahead of the Great Detective, who knows quite a bit more than he lets on.  
   
  Boldly original and wildly entertaining, A Night in the Lonesome October is a darkly sparkling gem, an amalgam of horror, humor, mystery, and fantasy. First published in 1993, it was Zelazny’s last book prior to his untimely death. Many  
  consider it the best of the fantasy master’s novels. It has inspired many fans to read it every year in October, a chapter a day, and served as inspiration for Neil Gaiman’s brilliant story “Only the End of the World Again.”
