London, 1902.
A girl is found drowned beneath Briar Bridge - her body dressed in white, her name unknown. The papers call her the river bride. The case goes nowhere. And then it gets worse.

Detective Daniel Moore is suspended for a mistake he swears he didn't make. His younger sister, Cathleen, refuses to let it go. Armed with a perfect memory and a habit of asking the wrong questions, she sneaks into the precinct to uncover the truth - and runs straight into Knox Weller, her brother's best friend and a detective who would rather face a firing squad than work with her.

He thinks she's reckless. She thinks he's arrogant. Neither of them plans to investigate the case together - but the more they uncover, the more dangerous it becomes to work alone.

Poison. Lies. Missing girls. A bridge that keeps pulling bodies back from the dark.

Cathleen Holloway was never meant to solve this case.
But she's the only one who can.Tutti i diritti riservati

The Spiritualist's Dilemma di noahzalexander

Maya wants to become a detective, but there is a problem...She is a woman and this is 1878 Dr. Chinew's first night in his new house is disturbed by a break-in. The intruder steals nothing but leaves behind a message - Death Comes to All. Maya maintains she is not crazy, only different. Henry Camleman, the chief of Bombay Detective Agency, disagrees. He cannot think of any other reason why a (as far as he knew) reputable 21 year old woman would want to become a detective in his agency. Solving crimes in Cardim, a city teeming with crime and criminals, is fraught with danger and involves dealing with the kind of people he wouldn't imagine a woman mingling with in a thousand years. To humor the stubborn woman, however, he gives her a fairly harmless domestic case. A celebrated spiritualist claims that there are spirits in his house and Camleman wants Maya to prove otherwise. He hopes the case would keep Maya indulged in a puzzle of ghosts and spirits while keeping her safe from the grime of actual crimes. Little does Camleman know the true extent of the affair. As Maya delves deeper into the mystery, it takes her little time to uncover a web of theft, deceit, betrayal and murder which would test the skills and perseverance of the amateur detective to the fore. Will she pass the first exam of her professional career?

But when a real murder lands right in her backyard, she finally gets the chance to put her knowledge to the test. The town's star athlete and all around jerk, Jace Hunter, is found dead in a way that is so bizarre, so brutal, that it stuns everyone. The police call it a tragic accident, but Riley knows better. There are too many inconsistencies. The way the body was found, the odd alibis, the eerie social media posts before the murder-it all screams foul play. Determined to uncover the truth, she dives headfirst into the case, convinced she can solve it before the cops do. But the deeper she digs, the darker the town's secrets become. Every suspect has a motive. Every clue leads to a new twist. And just when she thinks she's getting close-someone else turns up dead. The real killer is watching. They know she's getting too close. And if she doesn't stop... she might be next.
