ALL RHODES LEAD TO MURDER!: A 5-Volume Alton Rhode Mystery Omnibus

Private eye Alton Rhode has been shot by the Taliban, tortured by sadistic thugs, betrayed by a woman he loved, found people in witness protection and been poisoned by a serial killer. His best friend is a dapper mobster, and on more than one occasion he has found common ground with cold-blooded assassins whose codes of honor, though warped, merged with his. The police are often exasperated by his tactics (not to mention his sense of humor), but they trust his instincts.

In CAPRIATI’S BLOOD, Rhode has recently returned from military duty when a beautiful woman asks him to find the bank-embezzler lover who fathered her daughter and disappeared 14 years earlier. The man, she says, doesn’t know about the child but his bone marrow could save her life. Rhode takes the case, although it seems hopeless. It soon becomes apparent that nothing is as it seems.

A Fatal Inversion: Plume Fiction

When the new owners of Wyvis Hall, a rural estate in Suffolk, set out to bury their pet dog on the grounds, they stumbled upon a ghastly relic: the bones of a woman and small child in a shallow grave. The gruesome find makes stunning headlines, especially so for the previous occupants.

A decade before, nineteen-year-old Adam Verne-Smith inherited the property and spent one debauched summer there with runaways, drifters, and his two best friends—none of whom have spoken since that fatal season. Adam is now a doting father and husband. His old buddy Rufus is a respectable doctor. And there’s Shiva, whose dreams of upward mobility drifted away. Unhinged by the discovery, they reunite, each with a protest of innocence. As the past slowly emerges, their regrets, desperation, and bitter incriminations get the best of them—and so will their secrets.

At four-thirty one Saturday afternoon the laws of physics as we know them underwent a change. Electronic devices, cars, industries stopped. The lights went out.

Ninety-nine percent of humanity has simply vanished. Cities lie abandoned. Supernatural creatures wander the silenced achievements of a halted civilization.

Pete Garey has survived the Change and its ensuing chaos. He wanders the southeastern United States, scavenging, lying low. Learning. One day he makes an unexpected friend: a smartassed unicorn with serious attitude. Pete names her Ariel and teaches her how to talk, how to read, and how to survive in a world in which a unicorn horn has become a highly prized commodity.
