  There is something about the number 3.    
   
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
   
  From their pens to your your ears.

  1946. Fresh from the War in Europe, hack writer Jacob Heppleman discovers a changed world back home. The pulp magazines he used to write for are dying, replaced by a revolutionary new publishing racket: paperback novels, offering cheap excitement for the common man and woman. Although scorned by the critics, the tawdry drugstore novels sell like hotcakes—or so Jacob is assured by the enterprising head of Blue Devil Books, a pioneer in paperback publishing, known for its two-fisted heroes and underclad cover girls. 
   
   
   
  As "Jack Holly," Jacob finds success as the author of scandalously bestselling crime novels. He prides himself on the authenticity of his work, however, which means picking the brains of some less than reputable characters, including an Irish gangster who wants a cut of the profits—or else. Meanwhile, as Hollywood comes calling, the entire industry also comes under fire from censorious politicians out to tame the paperback jungle in the name of public morality. 
   
   
   
  Targeted by both Congress and the Mob, Jay may end up the victim of his own success—unless he can write his way to a happier ending.

  The Spirit and the Skull

  Murder is unthinkable to the People—a Paleolithic tribe migrating across Alaska and becoming some of the first undocumented immigrants to enter the Americas. For them, murder isn't merely tragic, it's forbidden. Murder poisons the entire tribe and puts it at odds with nature, the Spirits, and the mighty Earth Mother. A murderer must be found and removed in order to put the world back in balance. 
  Raven is the aging Spirit Man to a band in which a member has been strangled with a garrote. Worse, evidence of witchcraft is linked to the killing—another terrible violation of the People's covenant with the Earth Mother and the Spirits. Raven isn't a Spirit Man because of sacredly held beliefs. He holds the position because his band needed someone to do so, and because he needed to secure his place among them. Now the agnostic Spirit Man begins having dreams in which a stranger holds Raven's skull in his hands, and a woman claiming to be the Earth Mother—accepted by many followers—declares that only Raven can solve the crimes and restore the People to harmony. How will a man who doubts the authenticity of this goddess satisfy her demands? What if she and the dreams are real and successfully solving the crimes will result in Raven's imminent death? An impossible situation becomes even harder as Raven finds it increasingly likely the young woman he's falling in love with must be the guilty party.

  IN A WORLD WHERE HALLOWEEN ISN'T JUST SPOOKY . . . IT'S DEADLY. 
   
   
   
  Meet SAGE POE—witch, amateur detective, and woman who's definitely rethinking her life choices. She thought the biggest challenge this Halloween would be keeping her sisters from hexing the town council. She thought wrong. 
   
   
   
  When murder strikes the annual Halloween festival, turning the corn maze into a crime scene, Sage finds herself trapped in a real-life nightmare. Her childhood friend is dead, the town is whispering, and something wicked comes this way . . . again. 
   
   
   
  Enter SHERIFF EMMET QUILL—by-the-book lawman with jawline that could cut glass and a suspicious streak when it comes to anything supernatural. He may not believe in magic, but he believes in justice . . . and possibly in Sage. 
   
   
   
  As an ancient cult emerges from the shadows and the body count rises faster than her insurance premiums, Sage realizes that some secrets are better left buried. But in Bone Gap, the past doesn't stay dead for long. 
   
   
   
  This Halloween, the maze isn't the only thing that's a-MAZE-ing.
