  The sport of kings is the backdrop for a game of murder where one player loses more than the match. Can Cleo solve the case, or will the murderer win? 
  Summer has arrived along with a plethora of social events that keep Cleo and her cousins busy. Between balls, dinners, concerts and picnics, they attend the final match between two proud polo clubs. When the winning team’s captain is found murdered in the stables, everyone assumes the opposing team’s captain killed him. After all, he was found holding the murder weapon, and everyone knows they hated each other.  
  But Cleo isn’t convinced. She sets out to prove his innocence alongside Harry Armitage, who was employed to investigate the accused man’s family. With their cases overlapping, it makes sense to work together.  
  The more they get to know the victim, the more they realize the handsome athlete sported a dark side that few people saw. Those who did had a reason to kill him. Which suspect struck the victim with his own polo mallet? His wife, lover, friends or colleagues?  
  Or did the rivalry between two opposing captains spill over to their personal lives, and lead to murder?

  If the world of supernatural creatures is just a bunch of hokum, why does Boston PD have their own paranormal division? 
   
  The Sisters of Salem are in disarray, their coven leader murdered and left to be found. The case has already been closed; the death attributed to the headless horseman’s reign of terror. But was he really to blame? 
   
  Sergeant Chloe Mayfield doesn’t think so, but her one cop mission to find the real killer clashes with her orders and she’s already on shaky ground with the higher-ups. All they need is one good reason and she’s out of a job. 
   
  Nevertheless, she feels responsible – Chloe should have spotted the clues and been able to prevent the coven leader’s death. Shouldn’t she? 
   
  Right or wrong, there is a sinister force at work in Boston’s seedy underbelly and Chloe is the only cop in town trying to prevent the next murder. 
   
  She’ll figure it out, be sure of that, but as she gets closer to the truth, will she discover it was always a trap?

  The Thing on the Roof, written by Robert E. Howard in 1932, is a chilling tale that masterfully blends elements of Lovecraftian cosmic horror with Howard’s signature sense of adventure and danger. First published in Weird Tales in 1932, this story exemplifies Howard’s ability to craft narratives that delve into forbidden knowledge, ancient relics, and the inevitable consequences of tampering with forces beyond human comprehension. The story follows the misadventures of an unnamed narrator, an antiquarian who recounts the fate of a colleague, Tussmann, after he unearths a mysterious and ominous artifact: the Black Book. Fueled by greed and intellectual hubris, Tussmann uses the text to locate an ancient temple in Central America, unaware of the terrible entity that slumbers there. The story builds tension as Tussmann’s quest for knowledge turns into a nightmare, culminating in an encounter with an unspeakable being that defies logic and sanity. The Thing on the Roof showcases Howard’s skill at fusing his love of archaeology, mythology, and horror into a fast-paced, atmospheric tale. The influence of H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos is evident, with the story’s emphasis on ancient, malevolent forces and the dire consequences of uncovering them. Yet, Howard’s voice remains distinct, adding a visceral energy and sense of immediacy to the unfolding terror. This story invites readers to consider the dangers of arrogance and unchecked curiosity, themes that resonate deeply in the realm of weird fiction. As you journey into the shadowy world of The Thing on the Roof, prepare for an adventure that combines the allure of discovery with the chilling reminder that some mysteries are best left undisturbed.
