Bodies from the Library 5:...

Tony Medawar

Classic crime fiction's 'Indiana Jones' Tony Medawar unearths more unpublished and uncollected stories from the Golden Age of suspense.
‘Five books in, and the selection here might well be the strongest yet. This series continues to delight with the high standard of forgotten gems that Medawar uncovers, and there’s sufficient range to ensure that all fans of the genre will find something to enjoy. Book 6 can’t come soon enough.’
Jim Noy, author of The Red Death Murders
The end of the First World War saw the rise of an insatiable public appetite for clever and thrilling mystery fiction and a new kind of hero – the modern crime writer. As the genre soared in popularity, so did the inventiveness of its best authors, ushering in a “Golden Age” of detective fiction – two decades of exemplary mystery writing: the era of the whodunit, the impossible crime and the locked-room mystery, with stories that have thrilled and baffled generations of readers.
The Golden Age still casts a long shadow, with many of the authors who were published at that time still hugely popular today. Aside from novels, they all wrote short fiction – stories, serials and plays – and although many have been republished in books over the last 100 years, Bodies from the Library collects the ones that are impossible to find: stories that appeared in a newspaper, magazine or an anthology that has long been out of print; ephemeral works such as plays not aired, staged or screened for decades; and unpublished stories that were absorbed into an author’s archive when they died . . .
Complete with fascinating biographies by Tony Medawar of all the featured authors, this latest volume in the annual Bodies from the Library series once again brings into the daylight the forgotten, the lost and the unknown, and is an indispensable collection for any bookshelf.
The historical thrillers in this collection are top-notch, showcasing the traditional storytelling techniques that made the Golden Age of detective fiction so beloved. Each story is a journey back in time, a thrilling ride filled with suspense and intrigue.
For fans of Carter Dickson (The White Priory Murders), E.C.R. Lorac (Death of an Author), John Dickson Carr (The Black Spectacles), Christianna Brand (Suddenly at His Residence), and Tony Medawar (Ghosts from the Library).

Collision & Coincidence - A...

Cameron D. Garriepy

Their paths have crossed before, but not like this. Will one night together in an unlikely destination be enough? 
What begins as an inconvenience becomes an opportunity when Seth Weston, en route to his hometown on Lake Ontario, finds himself stuck in Utica, New York, and in the company of Iris Björnsdóttir—a friend of a friend and a fascinating and beautiful woman. 
Iris Björnsdóttir is in Utica to meet a new client. Treating herself to the old-fashioned luxury of the Wild Rose Inn takes on a new meaning when Seth walks through the door. She's always liked him, and there's no arguing his charm and good looks, or the haunting sadness he tries to pretend he isn't carrying. 
Neither Seth nor Iris expected spending the night together would unleash feelings they don't want to ignore. 
Collision & Coincidence is a tender, steamy one-night story with an implied future reunion. It can be read on its own, but readers familiar with Thornton may recognize the Seth and Iris from previous books.
