In this supernatural noir, a private detective is hired to find a woman’s missing identity, and faces a crime boss whose business is beyond deadly. As soon as the mysterious woman walked into his office, PI Frank Orpheus knew she was trouble. She’s rich and beautiful—and she needs Orpheus to find out who she is. It’s an unusual case to say the least, but he can’t say no to those haunting eyes. Even if tracking down her missing identity leads him into a corner of the criminal underworld he never knew existed. In no time, Orpheus finds himself entangled in a web of criminality, facing characters more dangerous than he could ever imagine. But all of them are mere puppets, controlled by a crime boss known only as Mr. Menace—a dark figure who traffics not just in drugs and booze, but—possibly—in souls.
“An ingenious revision” of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic Gothic story told through the eyes of the fiend (The New York Times Book Review). Mr. Hyde is trapped, locked in Dr. Jekyll’s house, certain of his inevitable capture.

Summoned to life by strange potions, Hyde knows not when or how long he will have control of “the body.” When dormant, he watches Dr. Jekyll from a distance, conscious of this other, high-class life but without influence. As the experiment cont...
Macabre tales of death and mourning in Victorian America.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Toni Morrison’s Beloved is a spellbinding and dazzlingly innovative portrait of a woman haunted by the past. Sethe was born a slave and escaped to Ohio, but eighteen years later she is still not free. She has borne the unthinkable and not gone mad, yet she is still held captive by memories of Sweet Home, the beautiful farm where so many hideous things happened. Meanwhile Sethe’s house has long been troubled by the angry, destructive ghost of her baby, who died nameless and whose tombstone is engraved with a single word: Beloved. Sethe works at beating back the past, but it makes itself heard and felt incessantly in her memory and in the lives of those around her. When a mysterious teenage girl arrives, calling herself Beloved, Sethe’s terrible secret explodes into the present. Combining the visionary power of legend with the unassailable truth of history, Morrison’s unforgettable novel is one of the great and enduring works of American literature.
