  "The Lodger" by Marie Belloc Lowndes is a suspenseful novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Robert and Ellen Bunting, a struggling couple living in a modest home in London, whose lives are forever changed when they take in a peculiar lodger named Mr. Sleuth. The Buntings are on the brink of poverty, and while Mr. Sleuth seems like a potential solution to their financial woes, his enigmatic demeanor and deep interest in dark subjects create an unsettling atmosphere. 
  The novel introduces the Buntings in their dreary living conditions, emphasizing their economic struggles and emotional turmoil. Mr. Bunting is portrayed as a somewhat dull man trying to maintain his dignity despite their impending financial disaster, while Mrs. Bunting grapples with despair over their situation. Their lives take a dramatic turn when a series of brutal murders, attributed to a figure known as "The Avenger," begin to plague the city, coinciding with Mr. Sleuth's arrival and his odd behavior. 
  The couple's initial relief at securing a lodger sharply contrasts with the growing suspense surrounding Mr. Sleuth and the violent events occurring outside their home. This creates an atmosphere of intrigue and tension as they navigate their precarious circumstances.

  The morning after his eighty-seventh birthday bash, former Posadas County sheriff Bill Gastner drives past a couple of vehicles stopped on the highway shoulder. It's not an unusual sight: a sheriff's patrol unit, emergency lights ablaze, pulled in behind a pickup truck. The female deputy hasn't radioed for backup. But there's something about the scene that makes him feel uneasy. The next day, Undersheriff Estelle Reyes-Guzman is called to a rather more dramatic and disturbing roadside scene, with the same truck the star of the show. But this time, its occupant is in no fit state to talk - his dead body stabbed through the chest with a Ka-Bar, a second corpse in the ditch beside the car. What happened to the two men? And what were the dead man and the deputy discussing in the quiet of pre-dawn the previous day? The truth is more twisty and complex than even Estelle and her long-standing friend and former colleague Bill are ready for, and it will take all their combined years of experience to untangle the sorry tale and ensure justice is served.
