Last Call for Justice
No relationship is so fraught with ambivalence as the one we have with our aging parents. Chief Joe Silva, second son in a large and loving family, finds himself drawn into a decades old drama when his ninety-year-old father brings the entire family together for one last reunion--to dispel a dark cloud that has hung over his family for decades. To do this the aging patriarch has had to persuade the two youngest children to return to the family after decades of silence and separation. Reluctantly, Joe travels with his partner, Gwen, and her daughter, Jennie, to join in the family gathering, but he does so with a sense of foreboding. Last Call for Justice brings together Joe's rambunctious brother and sisters and their partners in a weekend of revelations and discoveries, and a demand for justice once denied. Steady and decent, Joe Silva faces the greatest challenge of his career as a policeman when he faces a conspiracy within his own family to bring another to justice, an attempt that brings one to near death and another to jail.
Come about for Murder
Deb Connolly drowns after falling overboard on an afternoon sail and her husband commits suicide two days later. Annie Beckwith is distraught over the loss of her sister and her sister's husband, and tries to get on with her life. Chief Joe Silva and the other authorities don't doubt the report of Deb's sailing partner, Cecily Harris, a woman known to be afraid of the water and unfamiliar with sailing. But a sharp eye at the marina where the sailboat has been dry-docked discovers evidence of tampering with a key piece of equipment, and the accidental death no longer seems so obvious. In the idyllic setting of Mellingham, Annie Beckwith decides to get to know her sister's neighbors better in the hope of learning something that will help her understand Deb's death. Chief Silva wants to know who tampered with the sailboat and why. Mellingham is beautiful in the summer and this year Joe's stepson, Philip, wants to learn to sail. Joe rents a small boat and teaches the boy how to sail and the rules of the water. Philip is a natural on the water, and this turns out to be a very good thing when he finds himself sailing for his life.

Reading the Cozy Mystery
With their intimate settings, subdued action and likeable characters, cozy mysteries are rarely seen as anything more than light entertainment. The cozy, a subgenre of crime fiction, has been historically misunderstood and often overlooked as the subject of serious study. This anthology brings together a groundbreaking collection of essays that examine the cozy mystery from a range of critical viewpoints. The authors engage with the standard classification of a cozy, the characters who appear in its pages, the environment where the crime occurs and how these elements reveal the cozy story's complexity in surprising ways. Essays analyze cozy mysteries to argue that Agatha Christie is actually not a cozy writer; that Columbo fits the mold of the cozy detective; and that the stories' portrayals of settings like the quaint English village reveal a more complicated society than meets the eye.
