Eye of the Moon
by Ivan Obolensky “Eye of the Moon is a gothic mystery of the finest order, Eyes Wide Shut meets Agatha Christie.” Johnny’s legendary socialite Aunt Alice mysteriously died while reading the Egyptian Book of the Dead when he and Percy were ten. They have been kept in the dark about that night ever since. Twenty years later, they are reunited, along with family and guests, for a weekend house party at Rhinebeck, the sumptuous estate once owned by Alice. But Rhinebeck holds more than just childhood memories. From the family butler, they learn that Alice’s story is far darker than anticipated, and will impact all their lives, particularly Percy’s, before the weekend concludes. All who attend are ensnared in a surprising web of mystery, Egyptian occultism, sumptuous elegance, and intrigue, where family members, guests, and even the servants have their own agendas, and nothing is what it seems. This complex and sophisticated gothic mystery thriller is a page-turner you will not be able to put down. |

Do they both survive the war? And if they do, can they mend their fractured relationship? Or are the wounds from their journeys too deep to heal?

Dead Ball
by G.P. Hutchinson Hutchinson's engrossing historical baseball thriller, "Dead Ball," begins in 1912 when young St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Hal Gerecke unleashes a throw he'll regret as long as he lives. Popular Boston Braves hitter Rube Wannamaker evidently never catches sight of the incoming fastball, and the next thing Hal knows, Rube is on the ground, unconscious and bleeding. As succeeding weeks pass, it becomes apparent that the errant pitch has left Rube in a permanent vegetative state. Gutted by the incident, Hal abandons baseball for married life with spunky Gracie Matthews, but recruiters for the newly formed and supposedly safer Mutual League of Professional Baseball soon pull him out of retirement. Certain folks, meanwhile—including mysterious baseball newcomer Johnny Wagner—haven’t forgotten Hal's fateful fastball. Believing he purposely maimed Rube, they're out for blood, and Hal's life is in serious danger. |
