    Once a child prodigy of puzzles and logic games, Gillian Charles now barely ekes out a living in Los Angeles. With her sick mother facing eviction from her care facility, Gillian can’t say no when her childhood nemesis, Tommy, shows up at her apartment with a $50k offer. All she has to do is return to the place where it all started, where she swore she’d never set foot again: Miscellany. 
      
    Miscellany is a place of wonder and enchantment—a Disney World for puzzle lovers, and one that quickly owns the lives of those who stay too long. Tommy is running the park’s latest big game, and he’s convinced someone is leaking the answers. With investment and expansion in the cards, Miscellany can’t afford a scandal. As a former puzzler who kept her distance from Miscellany for twenty years, Gillian should find it easy to investigate while avoiding Miscellany’s charms and entanglements. 
      
    But when Gillian arrives, she discovers things aren’t so straightforward. Her turncoat ex-friend Martin Ellsberg holds the security reins, Tommy’s estranged wife Evelina spins PR webs around the park’s machinations, and the manipulative park founder Sebastian offers her the financial security and intellectual future she always wanted. With her mother’s circumstances growing more dire, and under pressure to sweep the accusations under the rug, Gillian finds childhood games all the more treacherous for adults. 
      
    Miscellany is offering Gillian the life she always wanted. But at what price?

    Eja and Demming are taking this mystery out for a spin! 
    Munitions heir Dario Peters has a yen for competitive cycling and cash. When he suffers a fatal crash on a Cape Cod bike path, everyone calls it a tragic accident. But his doting grandma knows better. 
    Persus Cantor begs amateur sleuths Eja Kane and Deming Swann—her nephew—to come to Bayview and investigate the case. The newly engaged duo finds that Dario was a ne’er-do-well with a host of enemies in the upscale Cape Cod village. A scheming psychic, an enraged environmentalist, and a greedy realtor all wanted him dead, not to mention his tempestuous wife, Paloma. 
    Through it all, Eja and Deming continue their sizzling romance. Only a brainy bestselling author like Eja can match a man like Deming, whose movie star looks, smarts, and sophistication are enough to dazzle even the bad guys.

    The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is a gripping Sherlock Holmes mystery first published in 1926. Told uniquely from Holmes’s own perspective, this case explores themes of loyalty, secrecy, and the lingering effects of war. When a worried friend seeks Holmes’s help in finding a mysteriously vanished man who returned from the Boer War “blanched” and reclusive, the detective uncovers a tale of hidden suffering, family tension, and a shocking revelation. With Doyle’s trademark wit and deductive brilliance, this lesser-known gem showcases a more introspective Holmes and delivers a powerful exploration of human courage and empathy beneath the veneer of mystery.
