  THE MAN WHO WAS TWISTED BUT HIP. It is 1897 and France is torn apart by The Dreyfus Affair, a disgraceful episode of anti-Semitism that plagued France for a decade and brought out the worst of behavior in far too many French men and women. Westminster needs help from Sherlock Holmes to make sure that the evil tide of anti-Semitism that has engulfed France will not spread.
  
  While spending an uneventful morning searching for his nephew, Dr. Watson finds Sherlock Holmes and together they watch as a man is murdered, a direct consequence of the anti-Semitic conflict that is raging just across the Channel.
  
  Strangely, Holmes is sent by his older brother, Mycroft, to the home of a young officer in the Foreign Office who has suddenly resigned from his post and entered the theater. His wife knows that something is not right and calls upon Sherlock Holmes for help. All these events are linked together and the solving of the puzzle is to be found in the City of Light.
  
  To make matters worse, the evil professor may be behind it all, and there could be terrible consequences for the young couple and all of Europe. Sherlock and Watson run all over London and Paris solving the puzzle, thwart Moriarty, restore the young husband and wife to each other, and aid the right side of history that will eventually emerge from the dreadful Dreyfus affair.

  After setting up a small sewing studio in quaint Hideaway Grove, Abbey Chandler is focused on finding crafty, creative ideas to build up her clientele. But murder can be bad for business … 
   
  Some of the independent shops in this sleepy town are barely hanging on financially—and that includes Sarah’s Sweets, Abbey’s aunt’s bakery. The shop’s advantage—aside from the deliciousness of its products—is the fact that it’s the only bakery in the area. But it looks like that’s about to change. The second wife of a wealthy businessman wants her own bakery—and money is no object. 
   
  When murder unravels the plans for the competing shop, Aunt Sarah is an immediate suspect—and Hideaway Grove’s merchants are on pins and needles about a big upcoming women’s conference, fearing the organization will cancel their booking because of the crime. Abbey’s doing her best to stay optimistic and stitch some custom tote bags for the attendees, but she’s also concerned with patching up Aunt Sarah’s good reputation. And when it comes to sorting through the possible motives of the victim’s family members and associates, she’s got a few tricks up her sleeve …

  Three Dramatic Action Screenplays-Three Entertaining Thrill Rides! There are good reasons why compelling action stories are popular. They give us the catharsis of adrenaline-pumping risk and danger, the rush of edge-of-your seat suspense, and a welcome escape from the sameness of everyday life. These three stories provide all that and more-and even better, they're given to you in the wonderfully readable format of screenplays. As you read, you have the chance to be the director as well as the audience-and you'll appreciate the format, easy on the eyes compared to prose fiction. Visions in the Tunnel exposes the dead-end life of an aging civil engineer, Calvin Sweatt, whose life is changed by a yoga studio that isn't what it seems. As he faces adventures he couldn't have imagined, he has to decide what his values really are...and whether he's going to live by them. Under the Double Eagle introduces you to the fascinating and dangerous world of the rare coin trade, focusing on a coveted 1933 solid gold Double Eagle coin...a coin that should have been destroyed when President Roosevelt took America off the gold standard. Entrepreneur Leon Hambright and his sexy girlfriend April chase the coin right into the net of Marc Pinion, owner of a chain of shady Asian massage parlors, who will stop at nothing to get what he wants-will Leon and April also sacrifice the people they love to get the fabulous coin, or will they challenge Marc on his own territory? Crimson in the Cowee introduces Ashwin Kingfisher, a young Cherokee man who is at odds with his heritage. Although he is a physicist, he is working temporarily at a tourist campground and ruby mine. Fate has a few surprises in store for Ashwin, including his growing interest in Riley, the daughter of the campground owners.

  The Rebel Hackers of Point Breeze

  In Rebel Hackers of Point Breeze, authors Nelson Hamel and Charles Sibley spin a mind-bending techno-thriller that pushes the boundaries of human evolution, digital consciousness, and global power struggles. Jonas Cartwright—a brilliant, wheelchair-bound hacker—surpasses every conventional notion of identity when he digitizes his own mind, transferring his consciousness first into another human’s body, and eventually roaming the global web as a bodiless intelligence. Teaming up with a secretive crew of fellow “Rebel Hackers,” Jonas wields quantum computers to infiltrate, rebuild, and—when pushed—devastate the systems of the world’s mightiest governments and corporations. 
  Their pursuit of ultimate code—where DNA fuses with the digital realm—upends geopolitics. The Rebels’ clandestine quest to outmaneuver superpowers thrusts them from the rustic community of Point Breeze, New York, to the frozen expanses of Greenland, and across clandestine server farms in China, Russia, and beyond. Meanwhile, statesmen, generals, and rogue agents scramble for control of the “holy grail”—fully digitized human minds—capable of toppling entire civilizations at the speed of light. As cyber warfare erupts worldwide, the Rebels race to prevent chaos from spiraling into irreversible doom. 
  At its core, Rebel Hackers of Point Breeze is a daring exploration of ethical lines and ultimate frontiers. Can consciousness break free of the body without breaking humanity itself? Should unstoppable digital power be shared, sold, or suppressed? And what does it mean to remain human once our very essence can be uploaded, copied, or destroyed at the press of a button? In a narrative that blends breakneck suspense, scientific vision, and philosophical intrigue, Hamel and Sibley deliver a riveting testament to how thin the line is between brilliance and catastrophic chaos, especially when you dare to play God in the quantum age.
