DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Fans of atmospheric mysteries and amateur sleuths will be swept away by Judi Culbertson's newest Delhi Laine novel. For the first time in nearly twenty years, Delhi Laine's family is whole. But that doesn't mean everything is back to normal. With no proof to condemn her daughter's kidnappers, Delhi's family is forced to share Elisa with her "adoptive" parents. But when they suddenly perish in a mysterious house fire, Elisa is heartbroken … and Delhi's husband, Colin, is charged with their murder. Delhi knows it's up to her to prove his innocence, but the deeper she digs, the more it becomes evident that nothing is as it seems. When Elisa goes missing, Delhi fears her nightmare may be repeating itself. If she can't clear Colin's name and find Elisa again, there may not be another chance. Twenty years ago she lost her daughter … and if she fails now, she might lose everything—and everyone—she holds dear.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Attempting the perfect murder, a killer encounters the perfect cop in this short story by Special Edgar Award and Ellery Queen Award–winning author William Link. After years of get-rich-quick schemes, Troy Pellingham’s bank account is empty and his options are down to one: take a job in his uncle’s rare book shop, and spend his days working for an unpleasant man whose only redeeming quality is a mammoth bank account. Though well into his eighties, Uncle Rodney is the picture of good health, and the day when Troy will inherit the old man’s money seems very far away. But then Troy gets a brilliant idea—why shelve books for a living, when he can kill for a fortune? After the deed is done, a peculiarly shabby police detective comes to call. Lieutenant Columbo seems dimwitted, and Troy expects he will have no trouble putting him off the scent. But as the noose tightens around his neck, Troy realizes that no murder is too perfect for Columbo. The Bibliomysteries are a series of short tales about deadly books, by top mystery authors.
