The Unchipped rebels have been defeated, and all that’s left for her to do is to perfect the Chipping process so they can all be integrated into the new society. The only problem is a single hacker, but that hacker is supremely dangerous, able to access Laura’s mind at will. 
  As it becomes clear that she can’t keep the hacker out, Laura’s grip on power will start to unravel. And that will force her to make a choice… create the perfect world she’s always dreamed of, or save the little girl who doesn’t know she’s Laura’s daughter?

  Against the wishes of her stepfather, Mary Sutherland has become engaged to Hosmer Angel.

Holmes deduces that Hosmer was Mary's stepfather in disguise, the charade a bid to keep Mary a spinster and thus maintain access to her inheritance. Holmes does not reveal the truth to Mary because "There is danger for him who taketh the tiger cub, and danger also for whoso snatches a delusion from a woman"; he had already advised her to put the matter behind her, though she responded that Hosmer "shall find me ready when he comes back."

  🧵 Master weaver and textile historian Elara Threadgoode is thrilled when her small town wins the bid to host a prestigious medieval tapestry exhibition. But when the lead curator is found dead, strangled with a rare golden thread from the exhibition's centerpiece tapestry, Elara's expertise becomes crucial to the investigation.

Teaming up with a charming museum security expert and her weekly weaving circle, Elara discovers that the tapestry itself holds clues to centuries-old secrets that someone is willing to kill to protect. From hidden messages in the weave pattern to symbolic colors that reveal a modern blackmail scheme, each thread unravels another layer of deception. But as Elara gets closer to the truth, the killer begins weaving a deadly pattern of their own—and Elara might become the final piece in their treacherous design.
