Par Amy Lane. 2023
Torrance Grayson has forged a solid independent journalism career with help from his friend and mentor, Felix Salinger, and he's…
relished being the face of the Salinger crew, exposing the corruption of the powerful while keeping his friends safe in their anonymity. But being face to face with the worst in the world takes its toll, and when Tor has a moment of weakness, it's the Salingers who come to bail him out. During his recovery, Tor makes friends with the household's confident, charismatic young chef, Marco. Their quiet conversations make Marco more and more reluctant to confront Tor on the grave mistake the man is about to make in his current exposé—a mistake that can harm Marco's loud, boisterous family irrecoverably. Tor is more than willing to listen—and to correct any mistakes. He's seen graphic proof that he's not infallible, and he'll go to any lengths to avert tragedy. But as Tor works toward the truth of what's happening with Marco's family, Marco begins to develop deep suspicions about the people they both work for. Torrance Grayson is in deep with the Salingers, and Marco isn't sure he should know any more than necessary about people who seem to be great bosses but shady citizens. In order to help Marco, Tor needs to trust him—and that means to trust him with the truth of the Salinger Crew, as well as with his heart. But in a world of capers and crimefighting, trust, it appears, is worth more than gold and jewels. Tor can expose crime and injustice with impunity, but can he expose his heart to Marco, a man who desperately wants in?The Lost History of Dreams: A Novel
Par Kris Waldherr. 2019
A post-mortem photographer unearths dark secrets from the past that may hold the key to his future in this &“sensual,…
twisting gothic tale…in the tradition of A.S. Byatt&’s Possession, Diane Setterfield&’s The Thirteenth Tale, and Emily Bronte&’s Wuthering Heights&” (BookPage).All love stories are ghost stories in disguise. &“This one happily succeeds at both&” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). When famed Byronesque poet Hugh de Bonne is discovered dead in his bath one morning, his cousin Robert Highstead, a post-mortem photographer, is charged with a simple task: transport Hugh&’s remains for burial in a chapel. This chapel, a stained-glass folly set on the moors, was built by de Bonne sixteen years earlier to house the remains of his beloved wife and muse, Ada. Since then, the chapel has been locked and abandoned, a pilgrimage site for the rabid fans of de Bonne&’s last book, The Lost History of Dreams. However, Ada&’s grief-stricken niece refuses to open the glass chapel for Robert unless he agrees to her bargain: before he can lay Hugh to rest, Robert must record Isabelle&’s story of Ada and Hugh&’s ill-fated marriage over the course of five nights. As the mystery of Ada and Hugh&’s relationship unfolds, so too does the secret behind Robert&’s own marriage—including that of his fragile wife, Sida, who has not been the same since a tragic accident three years earlier and the origins of his morbid profession that has him seeing things he shouldn&’t...things from beyond the grave. Blurring the line between the past and the present, truth and fiction, and ultimately, life and death, The Lost History of Dreams is &“a surrealist, haunting tale of suspense where every prediction turns out to be merely a step toward a bigger reveal&” (Booklist).Bark M For Murder (Bloodhound #7)
