Book Description
One of The Wall Street Journal’s Ten Best Mysteries of the Year “Amazing...This is a series for the ages, it’s so spectacular.”—Gillian Flynn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Gone Girl 1846: In New York City, slave catching isn’t just legal—it’s law enforcement. Six months after the formation of the NYPD, its most reluctant and talented officer, Timothy Wilde, learns of the gruesome underworld of lies and corruption ruled by the “blackbirders,” who snatch free Northerners of color from their homes, masquerade them as slaves, and sell them South to toil as plantation property. When the beautiful and terrified Lucy Adams staggers into Timothy’s office to report a robbery and is asked what was stolen, her reply is, “My family.” Their search for her mixed-race sister and son will plunge Timothy and his feral brother, Valentine, into a world where police are complicit and politics savage, and where corpses appear in the most shocking of places…

Book Description
Five crows means silver, six crows mean gold, seven crows mean a secret that’s never been told. “Shelly asked her brother Jason, ‘Are you scared to go in?’” There was something might spooky about that huge old clapboard structure behind the sand dunes and the sea oats. It was as gray as the stormy twilight sky behind it and the rolling waves of the Gulf in front of it and the Spanish moss that hung on the bent and twisted live oak and cedar trees all around it. Shelley’s family moves into an old mansion on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and discover that there is a mystery to be solved and a treasure to be found before the house can really belong to them. Shelley wants to solve the mystery all by herself...but encounters danger...intriguing clues...a poltergeist...and spooky Gulf Coast legends. “A well-constructed mystery and good reading.” –Library Journal

Man and nature are at war with each other. Evil flaps its black wings once more, and casts dark shadows. But which is the darker? Evil from without - or from within? Besieged from all sides, the ancient tawny owl, Tomar, battles to keep Birddom pure and whole. He still has friends to help him, though far fewer than before, allies in an unequal fight between good and evil. But, sometimes, good cannot prevail, and, when all hope is gone, there is no other recourse but to turn to seven for a secret - a secret that could yet save them all.
