Book Description
Welcome to beautiful Blue Lake. Nestled peacefully in the Adirondack Mountains, it’s the kind of place where nothing bad ever happens — until now. Summertime in Blue Lake Village. Celia Strong, a former NYPD forensics expert, arrives with her teenage daughter Katie to start a new life as the owner of Ye Olde Ice Cream Shoppe. As Celia settles in, she bonds with the other local business owners on “the block” — eccentrics Helen and Henry from the antiques stores, the unflappable Lorna at the history museum, and good-natured Cal at the country diner. It’s just a typical summer Friday when a tourist bus pulls up with seven passengers on board, and before long one of them ends up dead on the bus with a knife in his neck. The six remaining passengers each hide a secret. Is one of them the killer? With a new and inexperienced acting sheriff on duty, it’s up to Celia — with the help of the rest of “the block” — to solve the case. Find out if Celia and her friends can catch the killer in the first book in a brand new series by author Hadley K. Knox, the Blue Lake Cozy Murder Mysteries.

Book Description
'Quirky and colourful' Times Crime Club 'An absolute delight' L C Tyler 'This intriguing but charming murder mystery is packed with psychological depth and wonderfully-drawn characters' Eleanor Ray Literary fame beckons for Olga Pushkin, Railway Engineer (Second Class), when her self-help manual for hard-working women is published at last. In the meantime, however, Olga still has a household to support, a hedgehog to feed, and railway tracks to maintain from her tiny Siberian village of Roslazny, which has just become the target for Russian Railways budget cuts. Worse still, her beloved sergeant of police, Vassily Marushkin, has reunited with his long-lost wife Rozalina. And soon Rozalina is forcing Vassily to consider moving away... Matters aren't helped when Olga's scheming superior, Boris Andreyev, forces her to babysit a special Romanov-themed murder mystery steam train doing the rounds of the local towns. Parked in a siding near Roslazny, the players deliver the first of several intended performances - only for a staged murder to become very real. Vassily starts a homicide investigation in conjunction with his boss, the mercurial Captain Zemsky, but both are baffled when another murder follows on the heels of the first. Old-school Zemsky bans Olga from joining the investigation - but she soon makes vital discoveries that point towards something deeper and more worrying than the murders alone. Further afield, a rival author emerges to steal Olga's crown, while back in Roslazny Olga begins to suspect that Vassily's wife Rozalina might be hiding secrets of her own. With chaos striking Roslazny, can Olga solve the murders, save her literary career, and settle Rozalina's identity before she loses Vassily forever? Praise for C J Farrington 'The book is an absolute delight, evocative equally of the frozen steppes, bad vodka and worse sausage, and full of larger than life characters. Olga Pushkin is an endearing protagonist, who is hopefully set for a series as long as the Trans Siberian Railway.' L C Tyler 'Written with a warmth that would thaw Siberia, this intriguing but charming murder mystery is packed with psychological depth and wonderfully-drawn characters. It also features the best hedgehog I've met in a novel.' Eleanor Ray

Pages : 258
Book Description
Beyond the safety of New York City's news headlines, Next Stop is a train ride into the heart of the Bronx during the late eighties and early nineties at the height of the crack epidemic, a tumultuous time when hip-hop was born and money-hungry slumlords were burning down apartment buildings with tenants still inside. From one stop to the next, this gritty memoir follows Ivan Sanchez and his crew on their search for identity and an escape from poverty in a stark world where street wars and all-night symphonies of crime and drug-fueled mayhem were as routine as the number 4 train. In the game, the difference between riches and ruin was either a bullet or a lucky turn away. Almost driven insane by the poverty, despair, and senseless violence, Ivan left it all behind and moved to Virginia, but the grotesque images and voices of the dead continued to haunt him. This book honors the memories of those who died. At times heartbreakingly sad and brutal, Next Stop shares with a whole new generation the insights and hard lessons Ivan learned.

Book Description
The year is 2132. In the Scottish Democratic Republic violent crime has been virtually eradicated; indeed no murder has been committed for over twenty years. Madeleine Connachan is a single mother of two on her way home from work when she pulls over to wait for the heavy fog to subside. A couple of hours later her car is found next to the roadside with the grizzly remains of a body inside. Chief Inspector James Wilkie is put in charge of the investigation. Confident and intelligent, with a keen mind that can operate outside the box, he is under pressure to get results, and fast. To complicate matters, two English soldiers have managed to cross the border undetected, causing a nationwide search. Christine Howie is the Secretary of State for Home Affairs in the Scottish Government. A hard-working politician, devoted to her family, she suffers from crippling osteoarthritis and work is a welcome distraction from the pain. She is a popular figure, approachable and kind, but hides a naturally fiery nature which shouldn't be crossed. As the story unfolds she is haunted by a face from the past, her late husbands' first wife. A dark figure, cigarette in hand, moves quietly along the backstreets of central Glasgow at night. In the daytime she is just like any other civil servant; sociable when she has to be, polite and efficient. But in reality she is an assassin. A soulless, cold-hearted killer who can strike anywhere, any time, and leave no trace. She is Shadow Walker. Through the eyes of these four people, indirectly linked to each other, the reader enters a world of darkness, paranoia and constant twists and turns as the hunt for the killer becomes more and more frantic.
