  The Bellona Club is the picture of old-world respectability—a gentleman’s retreat where war veterans and aristocrats gather for quiet conversation, brandy, and a game of chess. But on Armistice Day, the peace is shattered when the body of General Fentiman is discovered slumped in his usual chair. At first glance, it seems the elderly war hero simply passed away, but something doesn’t add up. The time of death is unclear, his stiff posture is unnatural, and an inheritance worth half a million pounds hangs in the balance. 
  Enter Lord Peter Wimsey—brilliant, eccentric, and never one to resist a puzzle. As he peels back the layers of the case, he uncovers a tangled web of greed, deception, and family secrets lurking beneath the surface of high society. With sharp wit and an unerring eye for detail, Wimsey must unravel the mystery before the true culprit vanishes into the smoke-filled corridors of the Bellona Club. 
  A masterful blend of detective fiction and social satire, The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club is one of Dorothy L. Sayers’ finest Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries, filled with razor-sharp dialogue, intriguing twists, and a touch of dark humor. Perfect for fans of classic British mysteries and golden-age detective fiction.

  An eye-wateringly expensive watch is found discarded on the land days prior to a dead body turning up. “Sister” Jane Arnold sets out to find the connection between the two, with a little help from her friend—both two legged and four—in this transportive mystery from New York Times bestselling author Rita Mae Brown. 
   
  Between organizing a joint session with her friends at Bull Run Hunt, leading her own Jefferson Hunt Club’s fox hunting season, and looking after her beloved hounds and horses, “Sister” Jane Arnold is as busy as can be. She and her friend Tootie Harris are helping to lure home hunt club member Cindy Chandler’s two escaped cows, Clytemnestra and Orestes, when they discover an expensive watch carelessly abandoned on an overgrown path. The last thing Sister needs is another mystery to solve, but when one falls into her lap, she can’t help but get involved. 
   
  Days later, a young man is murdered, one with seemingly no connection to the pricey jewelry or a life of crime. His mother is distraught, and Sister vows to find the murderer. But when hounds on the hunt discover a truck covered in blood—with no body in sight—she quickly realizes she’s in over her head with a cunning and clever adversary. Can she find the link and stop the murderer before they strike again? Only time will tell.

  Well, I will tell you this much… While that is often not the case, a day hasn’t gone by that I haven’t tormented myself with those same gut-wrenching thoughts.” - Ryder

  The final installment in the chilling Fogg Lake trilogy by New York Times bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz  
   
  Olivia LeClair’s experiment with speed dating is not going well. First, there was the nasty encounter with the date from hell who tried to murder her, and now the enigmatic Harlan Rancourt—long believed dead—sits down at her table and tells her she’s the only one who  
  can help him locate the legendary Vortex lab.  
   
  This is not what Olivia had in mind when she signed up for the Four Event Success Guaranteed package offered by the dating agency. She doesn’t have much choice, though, because her psychic investigation firm works for the mysterious Foundation, and Victor  
  Arganbright, the director, is adamant that she assist Harlan. There’s just one problem—no one knows Harlan’s real agenda. His father once ran the Foundation like a mob organization, and Harlan was destined to be his heir. There’s a real possibility Harlan has  
  returned to claim his inheritance.  
   
  For now, however, it’s a case of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend,” because others are after the secrets of the long-lost lab. Unfortunately for Olivia, the one thing friend and foe have in common is that everyone is convinced she is the key. Her unique psychic talent is  
  required to defuse the ticking time bomb that is Vortex.  
   
  Neither trusts the other, but Olivia and Harlan soon realize they must work together to survive and unlock the Bluestone Project’s most dangerous secrets before more innocent people die.
