  When a renovation turns into a crime scene, can Skye get to the bottom of a nightmare turned murder? 
   
   
   
  County Cork, Ireland. Skye Brigid O'Shea is still struggling to fit in. Still branded an outsider in her adopted rural town, the ex-pat American strives to get her inherited B&B shipshape despite the flaky local help. But after waking with a fright from a dream her fae cat claims she borrowed, the discombobulated newcomer trips over a dead body in her pub. 
   
   
   
  Not about to head the suspect list again, the nosy former nurse chases down clues both mundane and otherworldly. But after discovering she's not the only person having others' dreams and a band of New Age neo-druids making trouble near the standing stones, Skye is only certain that this perplexing puzzle is sheer chaos. 
   
   
   
  Can she unearth the culprit before out-of-control magic, small-town secrets, and old hippies land her on the wrong side of the veil?

  The Adventure of the Cardboard...

  "The Adventure of the Cardboard Box" is one of the 56 short Sherlock Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It is the second of the twelve Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes in most British editions of the canon, and the second of the eight stories from His Last Bow in most American versions. The story was first published in The Strand Magazine in 1893.
  Miss Susan Cushing of Croydon receives a parcel in the post that contains two severed human ears packed in coarse salt. Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard suspects a prank by three medical students whom Miss Cushing was forced to evict because of their unruly behaviour. The parcel was sent from Belfast, the city of origin of one of the former boarders. Upon examining the parcel himself, Holmes is convinced that it is evidence of a serious crime. He reasons that a medical student with access to a dissection laboratory would likely use something other than plain salt to preserve human remains, and would be able to make a more precise cut than the roughly hacked ears suggest. The address on the package, roughly written and with a spelling correction, suggests to Holmes that the sender lacks education and is unfamiliar with Croydon. The knot in the string suggests to Holmes that they are looking for someone with sailing experience.

  A war-hardened general. A pacifist disguise. A lethal game of cat-and-mouse in the heart of England. 
  Recalled from the blood-soaked trenches of the Somme, Brigadier General Richard Hannay expects to be sent to another brutal front line. Instead, British Intelligence hands him a mission that turns his stomach: shed his uniform, adopt the name Cornelius Brand, and plunge into the eccentric, pacifist underworld of the English garden cities as a sympathetic South African engineer. 
  His target? The mastermind behind a devastating leak of military secrets, a man whose webs reach into the highest echelons of society and the darkest corners of industrial unrest. Guided by the enchanting and enigmatic Mary Lamington and his old American friend John S. Blenkiron, Hannay must navigate a labyrinth of intellectual anarchists, radical labor agitators, and ruthless double agents. 
  Mr. Standfast is a masterful wartime thriller of espionage and deception. As the enemy prepares a massive offensive that could shatter the world, Hannay races against time—and his own fraying temper—to expose a villain whose greatest weapon is his complete lack of a true face. Will his cover hold long enough to save the Allies, or will the double-bluff be his undoing?

  The House in the Mist

  It was a night to drive any man indoors. Not only was the darkness impenetrable, but the raw mist enveloping hill and valley made the open road anything but desirable to a belated wayfarer like myself.Being young, untrammeled, and naturally indifferent to danger, I was not averse to adventure; and having my fortune to make, was always on the lookout for El Dorado, which, to ardent souls, lies ever beyond the next turning. Consequently, when I saw a light shimmering through the mist at my right, I resolved to make for it and the shelter it so opportunely offered.But I did not realize then, as I do now, that shelter does not necessarily imply refuge, or I might not have undertaken this adventure with so light a heart. Yet, who knows? The impulses of an unfettered spirit lean toward daring, and youth, as I have said, seeks the strange, the unknown and, sometimes, the terrible. (Exerpt from Chapter I)
