Book Description
Dan Sharp, missing persons investigator, has his hands full. His partner, Bill, is dodgy about commitment and loves to taunt Dan about his lurid past. His son, Kedrick, is the shifting centre of his world, a weak spot in his hardboiled life, and a serious complication in his relationships. And then there’s the work. A wedding guest is swept off a yacht and vanishes beneath the waves, but the wrong person ends up reported missing. In Toronto, someone is murdering sex offenders. And the why is a son still searching for man who left a suicide note – and six dead horses – when he disappeared, twenty years ago? Collected into a single volume, the Lambda-award winning Dan Sharp series by Jeffrey Round follows a gay father and missing persons investigator as he weaves from upper-class enclaves to the seedy underbelly of Southern Ontario. "Such devotion to his work makes Rounds writing absorbing for readers. You sympathize with Sharp, even as he falls into a whiskey-drenched hell, and you wait for him to rise again." – Xtra! "The writing is raw, the emotions are taut and author Jeffrey Round brings it together in a breathtaking conclusion." – Hamilton Spectator "Jeffrey Round is the gay Margaret Atwood!" – Luba Goy, Comedian Includes Pumpkin Eater (New!)

Small-town Texas sheriff Dan Rhodes is in for another puzzling mystery in this next in the entertaining, award-winning series Before classes start one morning, the body of English instructor Earl Wellington is found outside the building of the community college. Wellington was clearly involved in a struggle with someone and has died as a result. Sheriff Dan Rhodes pursues and arrests Ike Terrell, a student who was fleeing the campus. Ike's father is Able Terrell, a survivalist who has withdrawn from society and lives in a gated compound. He's not happy that his son has chosen to attend the college, and he's even less happy with the arrest. Rhodes discovers that Wellington and Ike had had a confrontation over a paper that Wellington insisted Ike plagiarized. Wellington also had had a confrontation with the dean and was generally disliked by the students. As the number of suspects increases, it's up to Rhodes to solve the murder while also dealing with an amusing but frustrating staff, a professor who wants to be a cop, and all the other normal occurrences that can wreak havoc in a small town. Bill Crider's Compound Murder is an enjoyable police procedural filled with surprises, chuckles, and a quirky cast that will captivate mystery readers.

Book 4: The Mystery of the Golden Cat: For Adele Gossling, Labor Day is about giving voice to the eight-hour workday and minimum wages for women. But for business owners in Arrojo, Labor Day is about making money. What they don’t know is a thief has already gotten away with burglarizing business owners in neighboring towns and the police can’t seem to get their hands on him. Follow the adventures of Adele Gossling and Nin Branch as they embark on an adventure to catch a thief and his unique accomplice. Book 5: Murder Under a Twilight Roof: In 1905, the Barry Circus makes its way to Arrojo. The whole town is buzzing with excitement to see Julius Rowe, the “daring young man on the flying trapeze”. Then on opening night, the unthinkable happens — Julius misses that third somersault and falls into the net, instantly killed. Was it an accident or was it murder? It’s up to Adele Gossling and her friend Nin Branch to help solve the case when the circus closes ranks against the police. Book 6: The Case of the Dead Domestic: Everybody in town agrees: lady’s maid Arabella Parnell thinks far too highly of herself. So the Arrojo police are hardly surprised when they find her dead among the shrubbery of a wealthy bachelor’s conservatory. And yet, amateur sleuth and suffragist Adele Gossling can’t help but wonder: Was Arabella just a servant with arrogant manners or was she the victim of the pride and passions of powerful men, one of whom did her in? With a hair comb, a brooch, and a candlestick to go on, can Adele solve this case? Dive into this second box set in the Adele Gossling Mysteries and immerse yourself in turn-of-the-century Northern California in all its dynamic and chaotic glory for a fun and cozy read!
