The Deeds of the Disturber (The Amelia Peabody Murder Mysteries #5)
by Elizabeth PetersAn Egyptologist investigates a death at the British Museum in a &“charming&” Victorian mystery by the New York Times–bestselling author of The Painted Queen (The Denver Post). Back in London after an archaeological dig, adventurous sleuth Amelia Peabody—&“rather like Indiana Jones, Sherlock Holmes and Miss Marple all rolled into one&”—discovers that a night watchman at the museum has perished in the shadow of a mummy case (The Washington Post Book World). There are murmurings about an ancient curse, but a skeptical Amelia is determined to find an all-too-human killer. Soon, she&’s balancing family demands, including the troubles of her precocious son, Ramses (aka Walter), with not just one unsolved crime, but two . . . From a recipient of multiple honors including the Mystery Writers of America&’s Grand Master Award, this murder mystery set in Victorian-era England is a witty, rollicking, and &“deeply satisfying&” romp (Entertainment Weekly) in a &“jewel of a series&” (The New York Times Book Review).
Deeds of Trust
by Victor WuamettIt's annoying: Chase Randel's real estate clients keep dying before they can pay his commission. This time it's retired school principal Frank Baker; he's put his life savings into buying "distressed" condos from a powerful investment group, and when the deal goes sour he asks Chase to bail him out. It's a complicated and unpleasant task, but well worth the effort when Baker guarantees Chase a six-figure commission. While Chase halts the foreclosure proceedings on Baker's property, Baker is busy falling out of the eighth floor window of the Silicon Investment Group building--the company that set up the deal. When Baker's widow offers Chase the same arrangement, he accepts. But now the stakes are higher. Baker's fall, originally labelled a suicide, was in fact a reaction to cyanide poisoning. With help from reporter Molly Gish, Chase once again dives into the shady underworld of real estate.

But before they can locate the source of the danger, as the world knows, disaster strikes.Years later, Annie, having survived that fateful night, has attempted to put her life back together. Working as a nurse on the sixth voyage of the Titanic's sister ship, the Britannic, newly refitted as a hospital ship, she happens across an unconscious Mark, now a soldier fighting in World War I.
