Eerie Nights in London - Death Is a Red Rose Listen to Danger and Night of the Letter

Dorothy Eden

Summary

Three chilling novels of romantic suspense in one volume from a New York Times–bestselling author.  A twenty-year-old tragedy looms ominously in Death Is a Red Rose. Cressida Barclay rents a room in a large, decaying London house from an elderly woman whose dead daughter was also named Cressida. Does madness walk this house? Or a cold-blooded evil that could take her life, as well? In Listen to Danger, life brightens up for widowed actress and mother Harriet Lacey when Flynn Palmer, the man who was blinded in the same car crash that took her husband’s life, finds her a flat in his beautiful building. But when Harriet hires a new nanny, her nightmares begin anew. Brigit Templar Gaye believes a legendary family curse is responsible for the strange accident that causes her to lie helpless in her bed in the old Templar mansion in Night of the Letter. When her husband brings a stranger into the house, the voices start—terrifying, inhuman whispers that no one but Brigit can hear. Rich in character and atmosphere, these novels will hold you in their unsettling grip long after the last page is turned.

Bitter Seeds

Ian Tregillis

From “a major talent,” a WWII alternate military history that pits German soldiers with superpowers against British occult forces (George R. R. Martin, New York Times–bestselling author of Game of Thrones).

It’s 1939. The Nazis have supermen, the British have demons, and one perfectly normal man gets caught in between.

Raybould Marsh is a British secret agent in the early days of the Second World War, haunted by something strange he saw on a mission during the Spanish Civil War: a German woman with wires going into her head who looked at him as if she knew him.

When the Nazis start running missions with people who have unnatural abilities—a woman who can turn invisible, a man who can walk through walls, and the woman Marsh saw in Spain who can use her knowledge of the future to twist the present—Marsh is the man who has to face them. He rallies the secret warlocks of Britain to hold the impending invasion at bay. But magic always exacts a price. Eventually, the sacrifice necessary to defeat the enemy will be as terrible as outright defeat would be.

Bitter Seeds is an epic tale of a twentieth century like ours and also profoundly different.

“Exciting and intense . . . The clash of magic and (mad) science meshes perfectly with the tumultuous setting.” —Publishers Weekly

“A white-knuckle plot, beautiful descriptions, and complex characters—an unstoppable Vickers of a novel.” —Cory Doctorow, New York Times–bestselling author of The Bezzle

“[Bitter Seeds] may rival Naomi Novik’s Tales of Temeraire as a sustained historical fantasy.” —Booklist

There's a Murder Afoot

Vicki Delany

The 6th of January is Sherlock Holmes’s birthday, and lucky for Gemma Doyle, January is also the slowest time of the year at both the Sherlock Holmes Bookshop and Emporium and Mrs. Hudson’s Tea Room. It’s a good time for Gemma and her friends to travel to England for a Holmes Convention. For Gemma, the trip provides an opportunity to visit her parents. Jayne Wilson is excited about seeing all the sites London has to offer, and Ryan Ashburton just wants to spend some time with Gemma. But the trip is immediately derailed when Gemma’s father Henry recognizes his brother-in-law Randolph Denhaugh, who disappeared more than thirty years ago on the night he stole a valuable painting from his own parents.

Henry, a retired detective with Scotland Yard, has been keeping tabs on the man’s career as a forger of Old Masters and he warns Randy to stay away from his family. Randy is at the conference selling his own art, a series of sketches inspired by the Holmes Canon. The ever-observant Gemma notes that he isn’t exactly popular with some of the other conference attendees, but when Randy is found dead after the banquet with a dazed and confused Henry Doyle standing over him, the police leap to assume his guilt. It’s up to Gemma, with the help of her friends, to plunge into the “lowest and vilest alleys” of London to save her father from prison.
