The Ghosts of Gehen Hill
The Ghosts of Gehen Hill"Coincidence rules our lives, fate being the journey, destiny our goal." At least that's what Barry Hoffer would tell you. Hoffer, his daughter Issy and the enigmatic Maggie Stride are the main characters of this intriguing murder mystery, whose lives are repeatedly dogged by a series of puzzling coincidences. The story begins in the year 1885, the victim being Police Constable Jack Pawley. Fast forward to the present day and the primary coincidence is that Barry Hoffer's car, without plausible explanation, breaks down at exactly the same spot that Jack Pawley was brutally murdered. 'You must be connected in some way, ' Maggie Stride says to architect Hoffer, suggesting that it is his destiny to discover exactly how his family might be connected to a tragedy which happened, getting on for a hundred and forty years ago. There is of course a twist in the tale? Poacher, Gideon Moggs is arrested for the murder of P.C Pawley and duly hanged three months later, protesting his innocence to the end. The regular manifestation of ghosts from the past, plus circumstantial evidence, also suggests that perhaps Moggs might not have been P.C. Pawley's murderer. The story continues even though Hoffer and his daughter's attempts to identify the true killer are thwarted, until Maggie Stride is, at last, prepared to give up her own, long-held secret.

Ghosts and Pink Candles
Birthdays should be happy. Mine was until a magical ring caused me to see many, many ghosts. It was a present from my mom. She'd found the ring that her mom had asked to pass down to me tucked away in a closet. The stone was a match to my pink pendant. Dare I hope it was magical, too? Turns out it was, because when I tried it on, I saw them-them being about ten ghosts floating around in my aunt's restaurant. Oh, my. Naturally, I couldn't wait to find out what was going on. It wasn't that I hadn't seen ghosts before, just not so many at one time. Note: I took off the ring right away. Even I was a little scared. Eventually my Nana appeared to ask me if I could find a missing friend of hers. Sure, no problem. It's what I did, being an amateur sleuth, and all. Armed with her name, I set out to pick the brains of the gossip queens, but what I found out made seeing ghosts a piece of cake. Thankfully my wonderful boyfriend and my talking pick iguana familiar will help me figure it out. Stop on by the Tiki Hut Grill to get the latest update on this very bizarre case.

Man with the Black Feather
The Man With the Black Feather (1909) is a novel by French writer Gaston Leroux. Originally a journalist, Leroux turned to fiction after reading the works of Arthur Conan Doyle and Edgar Allan Poe. His most famous work, The Phantom of the Opera, has become legendary through several adaptations for film, theater, and television, including Andrew Lloyd Webber's celebrated 1886 Broadway musical of the same name. Walking into his office one morning, a journalist discovers a stranger waiting there for him. Holding an ornate wooden box, he reveals himself to be the executor of M. Th矇ophraste Longuet, a deceased manufacturer and a former acquaintance of the journalist. Suspicious at first, the journalist accepts the box, opening it to reveal the voluminous memoirs of Longuet. Within their pages, presumably unread by anyone else, Longuet describes his discovery of documents revealing that he is, in fact, the reincarnation of infamous French highwayman Louis Dominique Cartouche, a vigilante figure who haunted the roads of 18th century France in order to steal from the rich and give their wealth to the poor. Skeptical, the journalist reads the memoirs, which lead him to the legendary "Treasure of Cartouche," virtually ensuring the accuracy of Longuet's claims. Assured of their worth to the public, the journalist convinces his editors to release their discovery to the world. The Man With the Black Feather, which is also known by the title The Double Life, is a mystery novel by Gaston Leroux, one of the leading French detective writers of his generation. Like much of Leroux's work, the novel is partly based on historical events-Cartouche was an actual figure whose campaign of thievery and charity came to an abrupt end with his brutal public execution in 1721. This edition of Gaston Leroux's The Man With the Black Feather is a classic of French literature reimagined for modern readers. Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.
