Boston, 1951. Quixotic private eye, Francis Fallon is hired by an attractive Beacon Hill socialite, Martha Prendergast to find out with whom she’s sharing her admiral husband, Roger. Fallon and his cynical new protege, Julie soon find Roger’s mistress is one Helen Romescu, an ambitious Scollay Square bar girl. But the case is hardly closed when three days later she turns up dead with a bullet to the temple. Her roommate, Milly, a chorus girl at the Old Howard, believes it’s murder not suicide, and convinces Fallon to continue the investigation. Martha herself becomes the prime suspect when Fallon finds her diary hidden in the victim’s apartment, which describes Martha’s bizarre secret sex life, giving Fallon possible blackmail as motive for murder. Espionage becomes part of the mix when a spy camera is also found in the apartment! To warn Fallon off the case, the killer blows up his Studebaker, kills his cat, Izzy, and kidnaps Milly. The police, mafia and FBI also want him off the case, but Fallon’s roller coaster is beyond the point-of-no-return, and he pursues it to its explosive conclusion in the crowded ballroom of the Imperial Hotel where the hunter becomes the prey.

Amateur sleuths Caroline and Addington Ames venture to “the other side”–the world of restless and vengeful spirits–to solve some very real flesh-and-blood crimes in Victorian Boston in the third volume of Cynthia Peale’s acclaimed Beacon Hill mystery series. When Caroline Ames makes the daring decision to visit a medium, she keeps it a secret from her older brother, Addington. Ever the rationalist, Addington has made his disapproval of Boston society’s recent infatuation with spiritualists quite clear. Fervently hoping to contact their mother, Caroline has asked Dr. McKenzie, the Ameses’ boarder and dear friend, to accompany her to a séance held by Mrs. Sidgwick, reputed to be the best medium in Boston. Mrs. Sidgwick’s powers prove to be quite amazing: Although she is unable to reach Mrs. Ames, she miraculously fulfills the expectations of others attending the séance. Among them is Theophilus Clay, a well-known and much-beloved philanthropist who receives a message from his late wife–and is immediately struck dead right in Mrs. Sidgwick’s parlor. The police quickly determine that Clay’s death was not the result of a heart attack brought on by excitement, but cold-blooded murder. At the request of an old friend of his father’s, Addington agrees to help clear Mrs. Sidgwick’s name. Despite his certainty that all mediums are charlatans, Addington is badly shaken when Mrs. Sidgwick receives the ominous message “Ames next” and Caroline is pushed in the path of a horse and narrowly escapes death. Addington’s conversation with William James at Harvard does little to reassure him. In James’s learned opinion, “Even if there were no other medium in the world who had her powers, she alone proves that such powers exist. I put it this way: If you seek to prove that all crows are not black, you need only one white crow. And Mrs. Sidgwick is my white crow.” But Addington needs more solid proof before he is willing to accept that Mrs. Sidgwick’s connections to Clay’s murder and Caroline’s near-fatal accident defy rational explanation. Like the previous books in the Beacon Hill series, The White Crow perfectly captures the atmosphere of Victorian Boston and uncovers the dark secrets harbored by some of its respectable citizens. Cynthia Peale’s many fans are in for a double treat in this volume: Interwoven in the intriguing tale of murder and deception is the delightful story of the love that blossoms between Caroline and Dr. McKenzie.

The Secret of Beacon Hill byRosaleen Rooney MyersIt's 1976. Bluff Island. Twelve miles out in the ocean, only accessible by ferry or small plane. John and Eileen Hastings, with the help of their buddy Spider McGee and their genius dog, Skippy solve a mystery that has been hidden for over fifty years. They encounter Nazis, a secret tunnel, and a skeleton in a hidden cave. With no cell phones to call for help in dangerous situations, and no Internet to look for clues, they use their brains, wits and nerve to solve the mystery.The homes on Beacon Hill, the highest point of Bluff Island, have been in the Hastings family for over 100 years. It is an historic site. Turret House was used during the Revolutionary War as a lookout for British Ships. The Bunker House was commandeered by the United States Navy to search for Nazi submarines during WWIIThis summer the renters of the Bunker House arrive at midnight in a big black Jeep. When John, who is reading on the porch, offers to help the big, bald buy says, with a German accent, "Just beat it, kid and tell that stupid dog to shut up." He and Eileen spy on them as they unload heavy tools from the Jeep. As Eileen says, "They hate Skippy. Who could hate Skippy!!"When Mom and Dad go off island to work, sixteen year old John and fourteen year old Eileen begin snooping around. They enlist the help of John's buddy, Spider McGee, who has unusual talents requiring physical dexterity. When John and Spider follow the renters to a mysterious yacht docked off Gull Point and Eileen sneaks into the Bunker House they find more questions then answers and are determined to solve the mystery of the renters.John, a history buff who loves to read, finds clues in the "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich," the extensive history of WW II. Eileen seeks the aid of the town librarian, Mrs. Brown, who was living on the island during the war, and Spider hangs upside in trees and eavesdrops for clues. Skippy's dog sense both keeps them safe and also leads them into trouble!The action moves quickly from the time the ferry docks on Saturday till the exciting conclusion on Thursday morning.
