Cold Cases of History

Murders, Trials, and Deaths That Still Raise Questions

The Castle Knoll Files

<h4>*OUT NOW*</h4> 'Captivating' R. L. Killmore, author of A Cinnamon Falls Mystery 'Smart, original and lively . . . I loved it' Gilly MacMillan, author of The Nanny 'A slice of pure murder mystery joy' Kelly Mullen, author of This Is Not A Game 'A mystery with razor-sharp stakes. I was enthralled . . . A total pageturner!' Emily Freud, author of The Cliffhanger The latest instalment in the award-winning, New York Times bestselling Castle Knoll Murder Mystery series, in which Annie Adams and her Great Aunt Frances team up across decades to solve two interlocking murders *************************************** LAURA NEVER MEANT TO LIE. BUT OLD HABITS DIE HARD. When Annie Adams heads to London to visit her mother, Laura, the last thing she expects to find is a dead body. Least of all for it to be Fliss, the budding artist Laura had just taken under her wing. Annie is no stranger to murder - after all, she's solved a few cases already. And something about the way Fliss died feels familiar. She's seen a case like this before. Or read about it, rather, in the journals of her dead Great Aunt Frances, whose close friend was killed in the 1960s in the exact same way: with her heart surgically removed from her chest. As threats pile up on Laura's doorstep, it soon becomes clear that she's next, and that she's hiding something . . . With her mother's life on the line, can Annie find the killer before it's too late? From the gritty streets of 1960s Soho to the lofty galleries of present-day West London, follow Annie and Frances as they race to bring a killer to justice. *************************************** <h4>Praise for the Castle Knoll Files</h4> 'VERY funny' Jennie Godfrey 'Plenty of twists and red herrings' Guardian 'Smart, twisty, and original' Heat 'Thrilling' G.

How to Cheat Your Own Death

MR. DARCY & MISS TILNEY MYSTERY

The fifth book in New York Times bestselling author Claudia Gray’s Jane Austen sequel series, which finds amateur sleuths Jonathan Darcy and Juliet Tilney investigating a suspicious murder at Netherfield Park “With wit, charm, and a pitch perfect Regency voice, Claudia Gray expertly conjures the magic of Jane Austen."&nbsp;—Mimi Matthews, USA Today bestselling author Jonathan Darcy has recovered from the wound he received&nbsp;in a duel&nbsp;three months prior, during a disastrous London Season. But his parents&nbsp;aren’t&nbsp;over the shock,&nbsp;and they&nbsp;remain&nbsp;convinced&nbsp;that, no matter how many murderers&nbsp;have been caught via their investigations,&nbsp;Jonathan must&nbsp;end his association&nbsp;with Miss Juliet Tilney—particularly now that she is a young lady of ruined reputation. He prays for some opportunity to be with her again,&nbsp;but unfortunately, the answer to those prayers&nbsp;comes in the form of&nbsp;murder:&nbsp;his uncle Charles Bingley’s brother-in-law, Mr. Hurst,&nbsp;is found dead from poisoning&nbsp;at&nbsp;Netherfield&nbsp;Park. Aunt Jane is desperate for answers, which means Miss Tilney&nbsp;must be invited&nbsp;to&nbsp;Netherfield&nbsp;to investigate!&nbsp; Juliet, still reeling from her newfound ruination, is happy to be back in the thick of an investigation. The reunion with&nbsp;Mr. Darcy&nbsp;is difficult—Juliet&nbsp;has missed Jonathan terribly, but&nbsp;she&nbsp;is tormented by the knowledge that his parents will never approve their match.&nbsp;Adding to&nbsp;her troubles&nbsp;are&nbsp;the scheming Caroline Bingley Allerdyce and her daughter Priscilla, whose machinations threaten any hope Juliet might have of societal rehabilitation, much less an engagement. Then, Mr. Hurst proves to be&nbsp;only&nbsp;the first victim&nbsp;at&nbsp;Netherfield, casting a pall of danger—and worse, scandal—over the&nbsp;Bingleys' household. Jonathan and Juliet must find the&nbsp;culprit,&nbsp;and&nbsp;will&nbsp;ultimately be&nbsp;called to&nbsp;make a final choice between respectability…and&nbsp;love.

The Trials of Gabriel Ward

A WATERSTONES CRIME BOOK OF THE YEAR A LITERARY REVIEW CRIME BOOK OF THE YEAR 'As brilliant a cosy crime novel as you'll ever read' JANICE HALLETT 'A masterful voice in the mystery world' S. J. BENNETT CHRISTMAS EVE, 1901. Gabriel Ward KC is hard at work on a thorny libel case involving London's most famous music hall star and its most notorious tabloid newspaper, but the Inner Temple remains as quiet and calm as ever. Quiet, that is, until the mummified hand arrives in the post... While the hand's recipient, Temple Treasurer Sir William Waring, is rightfully shaken, Gabriel is filled with curiosity. Who would want to send such a thing? And why? But as more parcels arrive - one with fatal consequences - Gabriel realises that it is not Sir William who is the target, but the Temple itself. Someone is holding a grudge that has led to at least one death. It is up to Gabriel, and Constable Wright of the City of London Police, to find out who before the body count gets any higher. The game's afoot.

The Secret Keeper

The untold story of the women who debunked the Warren Report—a “captivating and impressively researched” (The New Yorker) history of obsession, heartbreak, and the myth of the great American century “A ghostly past brought brimmingly, engrossingly to life . . . a social history of novelistic propulsion with fanatical documentation and a sympathetic understanding of what drives the driven.”—The New York Times “Kaitlyn Tiffany masterfully unspools a hidden history of the Kennedy assassination and its aftermath.”—Liza Mundy, New York Times bestselling author of Code Girls and The Sisterhood In the winter of 1967, the official account of the Kennedy assassination was beginning to unravel. A scattered group of Americans had pointed to major problems with the report prepared by President Johnson’s handpicked Warren Commission. Many of the most serious criticisms of the government’s work came from a source that surprised some: women who, within the community of critics, outnumbered the men two to one. Politicians and reporters dismissed these women, referring to them as “scavengers” and suggesting they were eccentrics with murder-mystery fixations or crushes on the deceased President Kennedy. But in The Housewives Underground, Kaitlyn Tiffany resurrects the story of Maggie Field, Shirley Martin, and Sylvia Meagher, whose collaboration and friendship reshaped both their own lives and our national memory. Field hosted screenings of the Zapruder film and raised money to pursue new leads. Martin traveled frequently to Dallas, enlisted her children to help interview witnesses, and irritated J. Edgar Hoover with her “antagonistic” attitude toward the FBI. And at the center of the story is Sylvia Meagher—a born-and-raised New Yorker who was devoted to the ballet and the Mets, cultivated fierce friendships and firm grudges, and dedicated twenty-five years to her conviction that the whole truth of JFK’s assassination had not been told. Painstakingly researched and engrossing, The Housewives Underground takes readers back to the turbulent 1960s and 1970s—a time when Americans’ belief in their government was eroding—introducing readers to the so-called housewives who asked the first, hardest questions about one of the most shocking events in American history.

The House with Nine Locks

Turn to the first page and disavow what you think you know. This is 1960s Los Angeles like you’ve never seen it before, in a daring work of historical fiction from bestselling author of The Enchanters and Widespread Panic. It’s late October 1962. The Cuban Missile Crisis has just concluded. The U.S. prevailed. Attorney General Robert Kennedy fears reprisals from domestic Communist Party members embedded in L.A. He orders a red probe and puts the LAPD on the job. Freddy Otash is named lead investigator. He encounters commie malfeasance at every turn. He homes in on a red-front trade union. There’s a murder on Halloween night. It links to ex-VP and gubernatorial candidate Richard Nixon and possibly two homicides eight years back. Now Freddy is working double duty: he’s commanding the probe and is hired to keep Nixon out of trouble. Meanwhile, integrationist fever is sweeping L.A. and the police department comes under its fire. Ex-cop/lawyer Tom Bradley is running for city council and pushing the Rumford Fair Housing Act. Playboy kingpin Hugh Hefner is along for the ride. And the long-forgotten but still-stunning folk singer Judy Henske is on a collision course with the love of her life, the freewheeling Freddy O. The stage is set for chaos and Freddy thrives on chaos. Red Sheet is a work of subversive art. It embodies “indigenous American beserk” with a uniquely crazed and brilliant passion.
