It is July of 1865, and in Saratoga Springs, the wealthy racegoers wish, in the words of General Daniel Sickles, who left a leg at Gettysburg, “to let bygones be bygones” and put the war behind them. Yet, Rose Adair is hard pressed to forget Tamerlane Fallon, the Englishman she last saw being led off to be hanged as a Confederate spy. When he is pulled from Congress Spring, after apparently having killed a man over a mysterious, smuggled artifact, Rose is forced to sort through conflicting tales of Fenian rebels and the occult Society of the Horseman’s Word, in order to discover the truth about a very real and very dangerous conspiracy that threatens not just the racing season, but the entire future of the country.
A body lying in Papa’s study was perhaps not the best way to fulfill Mama’s dream of moving in the first circles of New York Society – especially not when that body belonged to Lord Hardcastle, the only earl desperate enough to seek the hand of the daughter of the richest quarryman in the Hudson Valley.

No-one dies in this mystery novel. Instead, medievalist Clare Malley is asked to discover why a teenager did not die in a drug-related shoot-out in an inner-city church. Is it a miracle performed by a mysterious turn-of-the-century priest named Father Enoch? Or is there a more sinister, but completely material, explanation?
When she heads to Woodstock to ghost-write a memoir for Bliss Falco, a name-dropping psychic who claims to have slept with everyone from Casanova to Hubert Humphrey in her past lives, failed romance writer Laura Converse never expects to be mistaken for a long-vanished singer. But she quickly finds herself trying to convince everyone in this New Age Mecca that she has not been sent by supernatural forces in order to solve a twenty-five-year-old murder. Making matters worse, the story immediately proves irresistible to her ex-husband, Rimes, a tabloid reporter – especially if Laura will grant him an exclusive. But tabloid fantasy turns quickly to Woodstock reality when a sleepwalking record producer discovers the singer’s remains and turns to Bliss to help him recover his memories about the long ago night the singer vanished. When murder – perhaps by supernatural means – results, Laura is forced to join forces with her ex-husband to investigate – a task considerably complicated by a distractingly attractive gardener, who just might be a warlock… or a murderer… or the love of Laura’s life.
