Sinossi

Dr. Stella Harper, an astrophysicist whose passion for the cosmos rivals the brilliance of the Atacama Desert night sky, searches for answers to a childhood enigma: a meteor shower whispering secrets she's yearned to decipher. Tonight, however, the universe offers a different riddle.  A dissonant anomaly, not from distant galaxies but from the very fabric of spacetime, pulses through the Atacama Observatory’s instruments.Enter Dr. Max Thompson, a forensic analyst tethered to hard data and haunted by past mistakes.  His grounded logic clashes with Stella’s intuitive leaps of faith, sparking an unforeseen attraction as potent as the rippling spacetime.  As the disturbances escalate, revealing a chilling pattern woven into celestial events, they must confront a threat not of alien origin, but something far more insidious: the manipulation of dark energy itself.Cryptic clues embedded in the manipulated data lead them on a perilous chase, intertwining quantum physics with ancient Andean prophecies of a celestial serpent devouring the stars.  A looming deadline—the winter solstice—threatens a catastrophic "starfall," a cascading collapse of spacetime capable of consuming Earth.Within the observatory’s walls, a clandestine group operates in the shadows, scientists seduced by the power to control the universe.  Betrayal shakes Stella's faith, forcing her and Max to navigate a treacherous landscape of deceit, their burgeoning romance a haven amidst the chaos. Stolen moments beneath a billion stars intertwine with heart-pounding escapes, their connection deepening as the cosmic threat intensifies.Their investigation leads them to a hidden chamber beneath the observatory, revealing a celestial map etched onto a meteorite fragment. The map points to a forbidden zone in the Atacama, rumored to be a place of immense power.  Their journey into this uncharted territory is fraught with peril, as they face treacherous terrain, ancient traps, and the observatory’s rogue scientists desperate to protect their dark secret.  They forge an alliance with an indigenous elder, a keeper of ancient wisdom, who guides them through the increasingly distorted reality, where the very laws of physics begin to bend.At the heart of the manipulation, a hidden altar pulsates with dark energy.  They confront the mastermind, not an alien force, but a misguided scientist obsessed with opening a gateway to a higher dimension.  With the starfall imminent, Stella and Max must activate the "Starfall Protocol," a fail-safe with unknown consequences.  The decision rests on a precarious balance of science and faith, echoing Stella's initial inspiration and challenging Max’s ingrained skepticism.In a climactic showdown amidst the escalating chaos, Stella, driven by intuition, modifies the protocol, integrating the principles of quantum entanglement revealed by the ancient prophecies. The cascading collapse of spacetime halts, the universe saved, but forever changed.Under a transformed sky, Stella and Max stand together, their love story etched against the backdrop of a universe reborn. Their bond, forged in the crucible of cosmic crisis, transcends the boundaries of science and spirituality. The universe whispers new secrets, inviting them on a new journey of discovery, hand in hand, beneath the ever-watchful gaze of the stars.

    At a time when crime and thriller writing has once again overtaken the sales of general and literary fiction, Bodies from the Library unearths lost stories from the Golden Age, that period between the World Wars when detective fiction captured the public’s imagination and saw the emergence of some of the world’s cleverest and most popular storytellers.

    Most anticipated of all are the contributions by women writers: the first detective story by Georgette Heyer, unseen since 1923; an unpublished story by Christianna Brand, creator of Nanny McPhee; and a dark tale by Agatha Christie published only in an Australian journal in 1922 during her ‘Grand Tour’ of the British Empire. 
    With other stories by Detection Club stalwarts Anthony Berkeley, H.C. Bailey, J.J. Connington and John Rhode, plus Vincent Cornier, Leo Bruce, Roy Vickers and Arthur Upfield, this essential collection harks back to a time before forensic science – when murder was a complex business.

    As a reporter, Emma is used to covering Newport's social events. But this time she is appearing on the arm of her fiancé, Derrick Andrews, at a small but exclusive gathering of the New York Yacht Club at Beacon Rock, the Grecian-inspired summer "cottage" of Edwin and Elizabeth Morgan. The members—which include cousin and Yacht Club Commodore John Pierpoint Morgan and widow Lucy Carnegie, the first woman to be admitted to the Club—are there to discuss their strategy for the next America's Cup Challenge, to be held in New York Harbor the following summer. 
     
     
      
    But it's Emma who must come up with a strategy when she discovers a woman's body bobbing against one of the hulls of the boats moored at the base of Beacon Rock. Is it possible she fell from the Newport ferry and was carried by the tide? Or could she have drowned herself or fallen victim to foul play? 
     
     
      
    After the woman is identified as the missing daughter of a yacht designer, the police—with the exception of Emma's friend Detective Jesse Whyte—hastily conclude she is a suicide, perhaps to quiet any scandal for the Morgans, since her body was found floating near their property. But Emma suspects the woman was murdered and begins to sort through a who's who of sportsmen, boat crews, and the Newport elite in search of a stone-cold killer . . .
