  In The Misty Harbor, a missing harbormaster turns up, only to be murdered on his first night home, in another captivating tale featuring Georges Simenon’s intrepid Inspector Maigret.A man, clad in brand-new clothes with no identification, is found on the streets of Paris. Mute, he also has a bullet hole in his head that has been perfectly patched up—altogether a strange fellow, yet affable. His maid Julie soon turns up to claim him; he is Captain Yves Joris, the harbormaster at Ouistreham. Maigret accompanies the pair safely back home, but the next morning, the captain dies, poisoned. Maigret decides to stay, pacing the thickly fog-obscured docks, striking up conversations with busy figures. The new harbormaster doesn’t know why three hundred thousand francs would have been transferred into Joris’s account. Mayor Grandmaison has an attitude that suggests he’d rather be mingling with the town’s social elite. Julie herself is loath to share anything relating to her brother, the secretive ex-convict Big Louis, for fear of appearances. There’s a nebulous danger lurking in this little town—things are leaving a bad impression for Maigret, and he won’t rest until he learns what happened to the captain.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux

  Bernardino, the printer, is lying in desperate conditions in a room at Santa Lucia hospital. Cardinal Baldeschi died suddenly and left the city government vacant. Will young Lucia Baldeschi finally take the reins of government and prevent Jesi from falling into the hands of enemies who have always been pressing at his doors? Certainly, one cannot leave the government in the hands of four corrupt nobles or, worse, entrust it to the papal legate sent by the Pope. But Lucia is a woman, and it`s not easy to take on roles of power, traditionally handed down to men. And Andrea, her love, what happened to her, after escaping the scaffold and disappearing in the wake of the Mancino? Will he return to the scene to help his beloved? Or will controversial events lead him to other shores? And we also remember the parallel story, that of the scholar Lucia Balleani, our contemporary, who perhaps has finally met the love of hes life, the one who will take her by hand to discover with the reader new arcane secrets. Love and death, esotericism and logic, good and evil. These are just some of the ingredients that give rhythm to this new investigation, focused on the mysterious disappearance of the bronze crown, once placed above the rampant lion of the main palace of Jesi, that of the Signoria. Once again, the past is intertwined with the present, through the parallel vicissitudes of the protagonists of the present day and their namesake ancestors. A comely lady and haughty regent of the Aesina Republic, Lucia Baldeschi is divided between the obligations of the reason of state and love for the fugitive knight, the brave leader Andrea Franciolini. Between history and legend, the action ranges from the severe buildings and dark secret passages of an underground Jesi, to the open countryside of its Contado, populated by shepherds and monks during the day and animated by magical rites during moonlight.

  Next time you rent a house, make sure you're the only occupant. 
   
   
   
  If it wasn't for a flamboyant, self-absorbed ghost occupying Katie Aubrey's rental house, the thirtysomething former business tech turned charcuterie chef would be able to concentrate on her new sandwich shop and catering business. But as luck would have it, former food critic and septuagenarian Edith Ellory will not let go. Not until she convinces Katie to find out who killed her. 
   
   
   
  In spite of a coroner's report stating Edith had died peacefully in her sleep, her apparition insists she was murdered. Not only that but she's convinced she knows who did the dastardly deed. Vowing not to give Katie, or her laidback beagle a moment's peace, Edith takes them on a wild goose chase through all the restaurants that received scalding reviews from her. 
   
   
   
  If Katie ever expects to have her new charcuterie business up and running, she'll have to do more than arrange cured meats and cheeses. The real killer is closer than she thinks, and no amount of culinary design sense will prevent her from the same fate as Edith's.
