Jerome Burnel was once a hero. He intervened to prevent multiple killings and in doing so damned himself. His life was torn apart. He was imprisoned, brutalized. But in his final days, with the hunters circling, he tells his story to private detective Charlie Parker. He speaks of the girl who was marked for death but was saved, of the ones who tormented him, and an entity that hides in a ruined stockade. Parker is not like other men. He died, and was reborn. He is ready to wage war. Now he will descend upon a strange, isolated community called the Cut, and face down a force of men who rule by terror, intimidation, and murder. All in the name of the being they serve. All in the name of the Dead King.

Joining the newly formed NYPD in 1845, Timothy reluctantly assumes his duties near the notorious Five Points slum, where in the middle of the night he hears a little girl's claim that dozens of bodies have been buried in a local forest.

Con un chasco. Así empieza la última aventura de Agatha Raisin: se ha ido a las Bahamas persiguiendo a su adorado James Lacey, pero resulta que él, quizá para esquivarla, no está en las Bahamas, sino más bien en El Cairo. ¿En qué momento se le ocurrió a la pobre Agatha dejar Londres por una vida insulsa y sin hombres en la campiña inglesa? La llegada al pueblo de un joven veterinario despierta el interés de muchas mujeres de mediana edad... y también el espíritu competitivo de Agatha, que no dudará en llevar a su gata (sana) para que la visite. Nuestra heroína no se irá con las manos vacías, y conseguirá que el veterinario la invite a cenar. ¿Despertará ese logro la envidia de sus competidoras? ¿Conseguirá despertar los celos de James Lacey? Agatha apenas puede saborear las mieles de su modesto triunfo: el veterinario aparece muerto en acto de servicio, justo cuando se disponía a operar a un caballo. Convencida de que se trata de un asesinato, Agatha embaucará a James Lacey para que la acompañe en sus hazañas detectivescas...

Agatha Raisin's neighbouring village of Ancombe is usually the epitome of quiet rural charm, but the arrival of a new mineral-water company - which intends to tap into the village spring - sends tempers flaring and divides the parish council into two stubborn camps. When Agatha, who just happens to be handling the PR for the water company, finds the council chairman murdered at the basin of the spring, tongues start wagging. Could one of the council members have polished off the chairman before he could cast the deciding vote? Poor Agatha, still nursing a bruised heart from one of her unsuccessful romantic encounters, must get cracking, investigate the councillors and solve the crime.
