Separated by 600 years, linked by a tragic coincidence… Sholto Kelley had always lived a sheltered life working at an Abbey in Ireland, but when the Pope calls for a crusade to restore the Christian influence in the Holy Land, Sholto feels compelled to respond. Upon his arrival in the port city of Acre, a huge, enemy army also descend, determined to expel the Christian crusaders from the Holy Land. Instructed by the Commander of the Templar garrison to leave Acre on the last available boat, Sholto’s mission is to evacuate ancient texts and transport them back to the Abbey to be deciphered. When his life is threatened, Sholto hides the texts with a coded message as to their location. Six hundred years later, in 1891, Sholto’s message is found by James Cartwright who is seeking sanctuary during a storm. Intrigued by his discovery, James is inspired to follow the message in order to bring closure to Sholto’s mission and satisfy his own curiosity. Inspired by authors such as Kate Mosse, Dan Brown and Henry Lincoln, Sanctuary spans six decades in order to bring a new perspective to an age old question.
All is not quiet on the coastal front as dead bodies emerge, marring these idyllic seaside escapes. Enter four intrepid sleuths who hit the sandy shores in search of clues, leaving not a single grain of sand unturned in pursuit of truth, justice, and the occasional adult beverage. Goin' Coastal is a collection of two novellas and two short stories that have two things in common; a coastal setting and a gruesome murder. The following stories are included: "Home is Where You Hang Your Flip Flops" searches for the details of a decades-old murder. "Down by the Bay" connects a woman with a home she lived in as a child, a house that holds many secrets. "Seas the Day" finds two women involved in a crazy plot to frame an ex-husband for murder, but the script flips and they end up framing themselves. "The Tide Also Rises" shows how a quiet summer by the shore can turn deadly when you delve into a past someone would rather stay buried.
Chesapeake Crimes 3 is the latest installment of the Agatha- and Anthony-award-winning Chesapeake Crimes series. "The Chesapeake Bay area is home to strong winds, joys, and fears, where you lock your doors at night in the cities and probably should lock them in the countryside, too, especially after reading this anthology. [It] gave me 15 reasons to wish I had not moved to the Midwest. And for the folks who are still living in this supposedly mild-mannered region, all I can say is, enjoy the weather, but watch your back." -- Sujata Massey
Ellery Tinsdale's father never talked about his childhood, never once mentioned what happened to his family, and never ever gave any indication there existed a lakefront resort in central Ohio founded by his ancestors. Curious upon receiving notice of the death of an aunt she hadn't known existed, Ellery travels to Braddocks Beach in hopes of learning a bit about her heritage. There she finds she is to inherit the family house, the family jewels, the family real estate holdings, the family bank accounts, and, much to her dismay, the family role of Queen Bee. Ellery also finds herself accused of Aunt Izzy's murder. Samantha Greene is the lifelong friend and neighbor of Isabel Tinsdale, as wel...
Ellery and Samantha are back on the beat! With 31,536,000 seconds in a year, what are the odds that the one minute Ellery Tinsdale and Samantha "Sam" Greene choose to break into the confidential files at the church would be the same minute Reverend John Thomas Hammersmith is brutally murdered while eating lunch at his desk? But that's the kind of bad luck Ellery experiences since moving to the small lakeside resort founded by her distant relatives. Her and Sam's close proximity to the tragic event makes them not only witnesses but suspects, too. And when not one, but two, more residents are found dead, Ellery and Sam are the unlucky ones to discover those bodies as well. Police Chief Lewis thinks it is more than a coincidence. With limited sleuthing experiencing, Ellery and Sam rely on nothing more than BLOND FAITH to help them track down the killers and clear their names.
