  An isolated island. A savage storm. An English murder mystery. 
   
  A storm is raging over Damson Island, a desolate yet beautiful rocky outcrop off the south coast of England. 
   
  The island’s magnificent main house belongs to theatre director Randall Dobson, a man desperate to have his play ready for its West End stage debut. With time running out, he asks leading cast members to attend final rehearsals there, and Henry Fleming is invited by his old friend, the veteran actress Lady Mabel Garfield, to join them. 
   
  Cut off from the mainland by the storm, tensions rise, accusations fly and secrets are whispered. But despite old rivalries resurfacing and jealousy rearing its ugly head, it still comes as a shock when one of their number is brutally murdered. 
   
  Who among the guests is capable of such an act? With no way of reaching the mainland, private detective Henry Fleming must sift fact from fiction and uncover the truth if he is to answer the question: who among them has a motive for murder? 
   
  For fans of Poirot, Miss Marple, Columbo, Jessica Fletcher and all their wonderful whodunnit / howdunnit mysteries.

  The BRAND NEW pulse-pounding cat & mouse thriller from INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER Gemma Rogers 
  How can one 12-hour night shift be so deadly? 
  I loved the anonymity, flexibility and solitude that working the night shift at Storage Queen gave me. 
  The unsociable hours paid well, helping me fund my university degree and giving me a quiet place to study while the world slept peacefully in their warm, cozy beds. It was the perfect job for me. 
  But that Friday night proved to be more than I bargained for when a man walked through the door, dragging a large suitcase. 
  My immediate instincts told me something was wrong. 
  That’s when my ordeal began. 
  I just had to make it through the night shift. 
  A pacy, heart stopping, page turning thriller for the fans of Shari Lapena and Lisa Jewell.

  The Original Human Beings

  Dr. Timothy Dale White

  What if one orphaned Latina's truth could shift everything, we think we know about who on earth matters—and why? 
  A girl the world forgot. 
  A truth no one saw coming. 
  A story that might change us all. 
  The world treated her as necessary collateral damage. 
  She answered with music-a response of rediscovering humanity. 
  In a world growing numb to cruelty. The original human Beings tell the inspirational story of a girl named Never- a Honduran orphan who escapes living in a Central American city dump and journeys north with a cello on her back. She is fighting to simply stay alive. 
  She alone could protect her hilarious little brother, Homero. She searched for a hero - but found a dreamy Nez Perce young man, the most athletic person she had ever seen, who helped her realize the hero was staring back at her in the mirror. 
  It is a romance as scandalous as it is soulful, with no promise of happily ever after - only truth.  She found refuge in Loco Lucy, the garbage dumps’ foul-mouthed, delightfully deranged, vampire-dressing matriarch. 
  She was hunted by General Alejandro Mendoza-El Caudillo-a ruthless crime Lord who misbelieved he was her father and would burn down the world to control her. 
  And she was stalked by Alonzo Gomez, a seven-foot hitman with a French accent, a loaded pistol, and a soul darker than midnight - until she made him believe in something more dangerous. 
  It is a high concept saga infused with magical realism. 
  It echoes with mythic power of new approach to Voltaire's Candide meets Cervantes Don Quixote's man of La Mancha. 
  This is how we remember what truly matters. This is how we broken walk out of the monster. 
  "The title —The Original Humans —got me. I had to discover the world Tim White was talking about. Brace yourselves, the ride is harrowing yet hopeful."   - Yareli Arizmendi 
  “A masterpiece from one of the best storytellers on the planet.”  - Jodi Garza CEO, flyalaskaseaplanes.com

  The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - Volume 9:
  Throughout many years, Dr. John H. Watson accompanied his friend and companion Sherlock Holmes in solving countless mysteries and crimes. Beginning in the 1880s and into the 20th century, Holmes consistently held his status as the world’s most brilliant and successful detective. His accomplishments were painstakingly chronicled by Watson in notes that relate the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Many of his accounts have been published and are well-known to a broad readership.
  There were times, however, when Watson would refrain from publishing his writings during his lifetime. He would do so for various reasons: At times, he would find himself forced to keep actual events and background information secret for moral, criminal, or financial reasons. Other times, he would want to either avoid potential political, legal, or social scandals or even damage to his own—or Holmes’s—reputation. Some of Watson’s accounts, however, were simply not published at the time because he was occupied with more important or urgent matters.
  The New Adventures brings to the public for the very first time some of Watson’s accounts of Sherlock Holmes cases previously kept under lock and key.

  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.
