  While Ettie Smith is grappling with a pain in her back, a far more sinister agony sweeps through her peaceful community. Two lives, connected to their serene world, have been reaped in the most horrifying manner, sowing seeds of fear in everyone's heart. 
  As the mystery grows as tall as a cornfield, one haunting detail stands out: each victim's front yard is adorned with a scarecrow, a silent, eerie sentinel. Is the community now a field in a harrowing harvest of death, reminiscent of the unsolved scarecrow murders of the sixties? Or is there a copycat, a straw man who finds inspiration in past terrors? 
  Driven by a determination as sturdy as a wooden post, Ettie starts piecing together the straw-laden clues. 
  Her quest leads her to a single suspect, but when the local detective brushes off her findings like chaff in the wind, Ettie decides to stand alone against the gale of doubt. 
  In the face of danger, just how close can Ettie tread to the scarecrow slayer without finding herself under his ominous gaze? Is she about to make a blunder that could cost more than a bountiful harvest? 
  Prepare for a story that's more chilling than a midnight encounter with a field of scarecrows. Grab your copy now, and join Ettie in unearthing a mystery that will keep you guessing until the last stalk of corn is counted.

  Young and unassuming Rabbi David Small sorts through puzzling pieces of mysteries with logic straight from the Talmud. In Friday the Rabbi Slept Late, a shocking discovery on the temple grounds threatens to ruin both the diligent rabbi and the entire Jewish community at Barnard’s Crossing. Unaware that his congregation is grumbling about his rumpled appearance and absent-minded manner, Rabbi Small spends long hours poring over scholarly books. But he is forced to face his congregants’ discontent when the police discover a young woman’s body outside the temple—and her handbag in his car. Suddenly Rabbi Small must study motives and uncover the killer, or lose more than his followers. Best-selling author Harry Kemelman fills his shrewdly plotted mysteries with likeable and cunning characters who could be your next door neighbors. Personally approved for this unabridged recording by the author’s estate, veteran narrator George Guidall expertly brings the harried rabbi and his mutinous congregation to life.

Ricks turns his literary talents to land he knows deeply, from working in the Maine woods and trapping lobsters year-round.

  Cody Bonner—identical twin, daughter of a major movie star, a teenage street kid in Los Angeles—she’s a bank robber at nineteen and a prison inmate at twenty. When she’s released after six years, she returns to L.A. with a purpose: to learn the truth about her sister Julie, who washed up on a Malibu beach a year earlier. The connection between the twins was so powerful that the day Julie died, Cody collapsed in the prison yard. Now that bond is driving her to seek justice—at any cost. Using bootleg skills she learned in prison, Cody begins to peel back the layers of mystery. Her search leads her to the darker alleys behind the dazzle of the film business and into the world of high-powered agents, high-priced call girls, and men with a taste for sexual violence. As she homes in on her mother’s powerful agent, Harry Groban, a man with ugly accusations of abuse in his past, Cody becomes more deeply enmeshed in the life she left behind as a teenager: her mother’s star power, her former classmates-turned-producers, glitzy parties, and a handsome former love who knows all the players. Is Groban at the center? Could there be others who had a hand in Julie’s murder? As Cody gets closer to the truth, another ghost from her criminal past is stalking her—one that could put her back in prison for years.
