2/2007 Hardcover-Intrigue, passion and murder surround the suspicious disappearance of Philadelphia financier, Lemuel Beale, in the winter of 1842. A victim of accidental drowning, according to the local constabulary, Beale’s legacy is a sinister web of political and financial machinations, and a troubling relationship with his daughter, his only child. Unmarried at twenty-six in an era when women were expected to become brides before turning twenty, Martha Beale’s conflicted search for her father eventually emboldens and frees her, bringing her love in the person of Thomas Kelman, an assistant to Philadelphia’s mayor - and a man whose business is homicide investigation.
The inquiry into Beale’s disappearance uncovers connections between the city’s most affluent and its most destitute: an escaped inmate from the infamous Eastern State Penitentiary; the freed African-American prisoner, Ruth; the ritual slayings of several young girl prostitutes; and Eusapio Paladino, a conjurer and necromancer who claims to communicate with the dead.

9/2006-Hardcover-A new book by Mr Francis
It’s the third death on Cheltenham Gold Cup day that really troubles supersleuth Sid Halley. Last seen in 1995’s Come to Grief, former champion jockey Halley knows all too well the perils of racing—but in his day, jockeys didn’t usually reach the finishing line with three .38 rounds in the chest. Yet this is precisely how he finds jockey Huw Walker—who, only a few hours earlier, won the coveted Triumph Hurdle.
Just moments before the gruesome discovery, Halley had been called upon by Lord Enstone to make discreet inquiries into why his horses appeared to be on a permanent losing streak. Are races being fixed? Are bookies taking a cut? And if so, are trainers and jockeys playing a dangerous game, with stakes far higher than they realize?
Halley’s quest for answers draws him even deeper into the darker side of the racing game, in a life-or-death power play that will push him to his very limits—both professionally and personally.
