Sacred Cows
This debut mystery is the first winner of Mysterious Press`s Sarah Ann Freed Memorial Award. Tough, determined Annie Seymour, crime reporter for the New Haven Herald, can`t get much information from the police investigating the scene where the naked body of a Yale sophomore lies dead on the street, having apparently exited a nearby apartment via a window. The lack of cooperation from the cops is particularly irksome because one of them happens to be Annie`s boyfriend, Tom. He also encourages her to drop the story, but she digs a little deeper and discovers that the student worked as a high-class call girl. Others, including her editor and the Yale administration, would also prefer that Annie leave the matter alone, but aided by a handsome PI, she won`t be deterred from her quest to find the truth and put it on page one.

The Italian Secretary
Caleb Carr, bestselling author of THE ALIENIST, makes his own contribution to the ever-popular subgenre of Holmes pastiche with this historical mystery commissioned by the Conan Doyle estate. Renovation of the Royal Palace of Holyrood, Queen Victoria`s Edinburgh residence, is disrupted when two of the workers are murdered. One of the Queen`s closest counselors, Mycroft Holmes, summons his brother Sherlock to discover the perpetrator and determine whether the deaths represent any threat to the throne. Noting that details of the murders recall the long-ago brutal stabbing of David Rizzio, an Italian secretary who served Mary, Queen of Scots, Holmes wonders if the present-day deaths have a supernatural, rather than an earthly, cause.
