I’m Cassie Romano, and I learned this the hard way, leaving sunny San Diego for a teaching position at a private school in the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York after my two-timing boyfriend left me heartbroken and in need of a change. It all seemed so perfect in June when I came to interview. But now it’s December, and I’m stranded on top of a mountain surrounded by snow, ice, and acres of wilderness. And now Kimi Choy is…dead? Everyone’s trying to chalk it up to a tragic accident. Not me, though. I have a feeling something is going on at Falcon Ridge Academy.

Now it’s too late, and I feel horrible about it. I have secrets of my own, though, so I’m reluctant to get involved. I know I should keep my mouth shut, do my time, and leave this creepy place. But the guilt is pushing me to dig further, ensnaring myself in a web of depict and deception at the highest levels. And the consequences could be deadly.

Title: Jenny Kidd

Subtitle: Information not available

Summary: “A twisted and sinister affaire macabre.”—R.D. Hartwell While spending autumn in Venice, a young American artist, Jenny Kidd, hopes to create a portfolio of paintings to launch her career and establish her independence from her tyrannical father. At the Guggenheim Collection, she encounters Randi, a colorful British woman, who invites her to a masked ball at the Palazzo Barbon. There, she meets the seductive Caterina Barbon and her brother, Sebastiano, who entice Jenny into a world of glittering façades that cloak sexual perversion, art forgery, and murder. As Jenny struggles between her attraction to Caterina and her growing awareness that she is in danger, Jenny discovers an inner strength and spirit worthy of her infamous pirate ancestor. “A little gem...a top-notch thriller…Jenny Kidd spins its web as languidly as an afternoon by the canals. Egan’s descriptions of the food, the art, and the general atmosphere are as purposeful as they are evocative. Her prose is full-bodied and elegant, and she makes prosecco and prosciutto as sumptuous as the work of Titian and Tintoretto. As delicious as Egan’s writing is when it comes to describing masked balls, four-course lunches, and miniatures painted in pastels, she also knows how to propel a mean action scene. The last twenty pages or so are a breathless rush of dark passageways, tense interrogations, and perfectly executed gore that leave you gasping and satisfied.” —Jerry L. Wheeler, Out in Print “A very compelling suspense novel, rife with stunning imagery and shocking plot beats. An eerie, glittering world.” —Jennica Dotson, author of “A Reaper’s Folly” “The plot becomes…dizzying in its twists and turns. Not only does this book offer a riveting story, but her sentences have a cadence that will carry you along. Once I had reached the half-way point in the book, I found it impossible to put it down.” —Martha Miller, G & L Review

Title: Stay at Castle Dracula…and Other Short-Short Stories

Subtitle: I can scare and thrill you in only…100 words!

Summary: Do you enjoy a good drabble? No, not America’s most popular word game—that’s Scrabble. No, not those cute, furry little creatures from Star Trek—those are tribbles. A drabble is a form of intense fiction writing consisting of 100 words. Not 100 chapters, not 100 paragraphs, nor even 100 lines. 100 words. Exactly.   Author Jim Nemeth loves the format and is an accomplished dabbler in drabbles. “Whenever I explain to friends what a drabble is,” Nemeth relates, “I get the exact same expression of disbelief: ‘100 words?’ In fact, I took these reactions and wrote a drabble about it, “Impossible Assignment,” which leads off the collection.”   Stay at Castle Dracula and Other Short-Short Stories, a chapbook, collects 26 tales, 23 of which are drabbles. With the three other stories, the author “splurged” and indulged himself with an additional 100-200 words.   Other tales of five score words include “Disgruntled,” where a joyous family Christmas celebration turns horrific when a little boy doesn’t get the toy he wanted; “Love Potion” relates what happens when a witch’s magic works too well. And in the title story, another young English traveler debates his decision in staying in Count Dracula’s centuries’ old castle.

Title: The Mystery of the Indefatigable Ink

Subtitle: New Three Investigators Book 9

Summary: What’s erased isn’t always gone—and ink never forgets. The Salvage Yard is still there. So is the secret headquarters. And so are the Three Investigators—smarter than ever, a little older, and ready for their most challenging cases yet. Conceived and co-written by Elizabeth Arthur, the daughter of Robert Arthur, the creator of the Three Investigators universe, this exciting reboot of the classic series takes its iconic characters into a new age. They return reimagined, reinvigorated, and more relevant than ever. In the ninth book of a 26-book story arc, Jupiter's trip to the local hardware store seems like an ordinary errand - until a chance meeting with Mrs. Vasiliev, an elderly Russian woman who fled the Soviet Union in the 1980s, puts him on the track of a brand-new mystery. Mrs. Vasiliev asks Jupiter to help a young Russian-American songwriter named Ivan Federov, who's being threatened with a bogus plagiarism lawsuit. At first, the case seems straightforward, but as The Three Investigators dig deeper, they uncover a complex and intriguing web of family history. IIvan's great-grandparents fled the Soviet Union during the Russian Revolution; his great-grandfather, Fyodor, became an Oscar-winning Hollywood actor. Fyodor's son, Vadim, was blacklisted in the 1950s during the Red Scare after being falsely accused of being a Soviet agent. But Vadim reinvented himself as the wildly successful mystery writer, Edison Ford, winning multiple Edgars from the Mystery Writers of America. Vadim's final manuscript, however, is missing. He had completed it just before his death - a literary novel about his parents' escape from the Soviet regime - but despite years of searching, it's nowhere to be found. The investigation reveals that the manuscript may not be as lost as everyone thinks - but someone is determined to keep it hidden. An old-fashioned card catalogue has been rifled - though a 1930s movie, Dawn Over Petrograd, holds hidden clues. In the end, the hunt for the missing manuscript leads The Three Investigators to the American Film History Library where they must race against time to recover it. But when the manuscript falls into the wrong hands, the team faces dangerous opposition. Who is behind the plot to keep it buried? To what lengths will they go to protect their secret? And can Jupiter, Pete, Bob, and Mallory uncover the truth before the manuscript is lost forever? Join the team as they untangle a Gordian knot of deception, theft, and devious greed in this heart-pounding new chapter of The Three Investigators series.

The morning after a raging college graduation party, we found Lanie Martin lying at the bottom of a ravine, her neck snapped in a fatal fall. And I’m not proud of what came next. Before we called the police, we covered ourselves. Cleaned up from the blow-out at Ella’s cabin the night before. Got our stories straight. Ella begged me not to tell the police what I saw. She insisted that it was an accident—and we all went along. What did I know? I was wasted that night, and large chunks of that evening are missing for me. But now, in my postpartum state, memories are starting to return, and I can’t help but feel that they might be connected to the soul crushing depression I’ve been experiencing. Is it guilt? Or do I know more than I think I do? So when I receive Ella’s invitation for a ten-year reunion at her family camp—a gathering of remembrance and healing, she’s calling it—I know I have to go.
