Description
The author
of the acclaimed
medieval mystery A
Burnable Book
once again brings
fourteenth-century
London alive in
all its color and
detail in this
riveting thriller
featuring medieval
poet and fixer
John Gower—a
twisty tale rife
with intrigue,
danger mystery,
and murder.
Though he
is one of
England’s most
acclaimed
intellectuals,
John Gower is no
stranger to
London’s wretched
slums and dark
corners, and he
knows how to trade
on the secrets of
the kingdom’s most
powerful men. When
the bodies of
sixteen unknown
men are found in a
privy, the Sheriff
of London seeks
Gower’s help. The
men’s
wounds—ragged
holes created by
an unknown
object—are unlike
anything the
sheriff’s men have
ever seen. Tossed
into the sewer,
the bodies were
meant to be found.
Gower believes the
men may have been
used in an
experiment—a test
for a fearsome new
war weapon his
informants call
the “handgonne,”
claiming it will
be the “future of
death” if its
design can be
perfected.
Propelled
by questions of
his own, Gower
turns to courtier
and civil servant
Geoffrey Chaucer,
who is working on
some poems about
pilgrims that
Gower finds rather
vulgar. Chaucer
thinks he just may
know who
commissioned this
new weapon, an
extremely valuable
piece of
information that
some will pay a
high price for—and
others will kill
to conceal. . .
In a
first-time
collaboration,
“Queen of Suspense”
Mary Higgins Clark
partners with
bestselling author
Alafair Burke to
deliver a brand new
suspense series
about a television
program featuring
cold case murders.
Television producer
Laurie Moran is
delighted when the
pilot for her
reality drama, Under
Suspicion, is
a success. Even
more, the program—a
cold case series
that revisits
unsolved crimes by
recreating them with
those affected—is
off to a fantastic
start when it helps
solve an infamous
murder in the very
first episode.
Now Laurie has the
ideal case to
feature in the next
episode of Under
Suspicion: the
Cinderella Murder.
When Susan Dempsey,
a beautiful and
multi-talented UCLA
student, was found
dead, her murder
raised numerous
questions. Why was
her car parked miles
from her body? Had
she ever shown up
for the acting
audition she was due
to attend at the
home of an
up-and-coming
director? Why does
Susan’s boyfriend
want to avoid
questions about
their relationship?
Was her
disappearance
connected to a
controversial church
that was active on
campus? Was she
close to her
computer science
professor because of
her technological
brilliance, or
something more? And
why was Susan
missing one of her
shoes when her body
was discovered?
With the help of
lawyer and Under
Suspicion host
Alex Buckley, Laurie
knows the case will
attract great
ratings, especially
when the former
suspects include
Hollywood’s elite
and tech
billionaires. The
suspense and drama
are perfect for the
silver screen—but is
Cinderella’s
murderer ready for a
close-up?
Together Mary
Higgins Clark and
Alafair Burke
deliver an exciting
publishing event:
the start of a
thrilling new series
guaranteed to keep
you guessing until
the last suspenseful
page. - See more at:
