  “Sixth in the brilliantly researched and hauntingly rich Major Abel Jones Civil War mystery thrillers” from the bestselling author of Bold Sons of Erin (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).   Abel Jones arrives in New Orleans to investigate the death of a young crusader and finds himself facing fantastic rumors of the resurrected dead as the Union-occupied city approaches hysteria. The corpse of a Yankee heiress washes up on a levee. Citizens disappear in the night from the alleys of the French Quarter. Tales of ritual murder taunt the authorities—as an uneasy truce between newly freed slaves and their bankrupt former masters, voodoo priestesses, smugglers, and unwelcome Yankee troops stretches to the breaking point.    Paying tribute to the great literary traditions of New Orleans, Owen Parry leads us from the intrigue-haunted alleys of the French Quarter to the mysteries of nearby plantations and bayous to unravel the powerful superstitions and deadly force of greed that wind through this dark and rich adventure.  “A plot that twists and turns through voodoo and violence . . . Parry has a way with period color; his New Orleans lives and breathes.” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch  “Parry is superb.” —Nashville Tennessean  “[The] satisfying sixth installment to Parry’s humorous, well-written and meticulously researched series of Civil War mysteries . . . all will delight in this installment’s continuing vivid historical detail and engaging protagonist.” —Publishers Weekly

  A gathering of seven bestselling crime writers at a Scottish Highlands book festival turns deadly in a wickedly dark thriller that pays homage to Agatha Christie’s classic murder mysteries, from the bestselling author of The Bonnie Dead. 
   
  When legendary crime novelist William MacRae is found dead in suspicious circumstances at his Glasgow home, Police Scotland’s premier investigator DCI John Lomond is put on the case. 
  After discovering a list of seven bestselling authors – all old friends of MacRae’s – Lomond and his team head north to the Ullapool Book Festival, where the seven are gathering to remember their fallen friend. 
  But a vicious storm is closing in. And not everyone, it seems, has fond memories of MacRae. Or each other. 
  Cut off from the outside world at a remote country home, it doesn’t take long for the whisky to flow, old resentments to reignite…and another dead body to appear. 
  Over the course of one weekend, Lomond must sift through a web of red herrings, secrets, and lies. 
  One of them is a killer. But can Lomond unmask them before it’s too late?
