Dwellings: A Pete Barrow Mystery
In Dwellings, Ken Linn's debut novel in the Pete Barrow Mystery Series, math teacher and part-time private investigator Pete Barrow takes on a case more complex and dangerous than anything he's ever encountered before in rural Potomac County, deep in the heart of Virginia's Northern Neck Peninsula.
When young wife Melissa Adamson goes missing, her close friend Kasey Dylan wants to be certain that she's safe from her abusive husband. But the city investigator she's hired is dealing with a crisis of his own and calls on Pete Barrow to take over the search for Melissa, last reported to be hiding out in Potomac County with a woman named Tammy.
With the support of his girlfriend, school psychologist Wendi Wynston, and the sometimes-reluctant help of the county's long-time African American sheriff, Oscar Murphy, Barrow takes on the seemingly straightforward case, which quickly evolves into a full-blown investigation that leads from a sketchy woman's crisis center to a selective program at a secretive estate. When people related to the investigation turn up dead, things veer off into dangerous territory populated with an ambitious group of lawyers, a six-year-old boy of questionable origin, a threatening thug-for-hire, and a wealthy man with a dark and twisted secret.

When the Devil's son gets kicked out of Hell, all Hell breaks loose-on Earth. Lucian "Luke" Teivel isn't just any exile-he's Lucifer's son, freshly banished from Hell with no forwarding address and zero explanation. Now he's stuck in the human world, paying cosmic penance by working for Infernal Affairs, a secret task force that polices supernatural crime and decides whether the guilty belong in prison...or back in the Pit. Luke's doing his best to blend in and not burn his petty annoyances when a new partner storms into his life: Detective Sorcha O'Malley. She's sharp, stubborn, suspicious-and assigned to keep him from indulging in his more demonic tendencies. But Sorcha carries shadows even Luke can't read. Just as they're settling into their begrudging partnership, college students start dropping across Savannah, Georgia. And every clue points directly at Luke.

To survive the setup, Luke and Sorcha must team up against enemies both infernal and annoyingly human. But as the danger escalates and Sorcha's secrets inch closer to the surface, Luke faces the worst dilemma imaginable: Hand over his new partner to the devil... Or be relegated to earth forever.

Convent Wisdom: How Sixteenth-Century Nuns Could Save Your Twenty-First-Century Life
"Delightful." --The Guardian - "Cheeky." --The New York Times - "Insightful." --Marie Claire - A not-so-saintly self-help book that dives into the wild, wise, and unconventional lives of 16th- and 17th-century nuns and proves one thing: no matter the century, nuns know best. When most of us think of nuns, we picture hands clasped in prayer, solemn shuffles down cloistered halls, and that iconic habit silhouette. But what about the nuns who ate spiderwebs, erupted into jealous fights over makeup, or chain-produced manuscripts for extra cash? In reality, these women were no one-dimensional martyrs. 16th- and 17th-century nuns were resourceful, rebellious, and refreshingly relatable--and their lives hold surprising lessons for us today. Convent Wisdom is your guide to navigating everything from patriarchal bureaucracy to an all-consuming friend crush with help from history's most fascinating nuns. Struggling with money? Saint Teresa and her fellow Carmelites have recession-proof advice. Scrolling social media and drowning in FOMO? Mary of Jesus of Ágreda's miraculous ability to engage in bilocation might help you cope. Confounded by a lesbian situationship? The yearnings of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz contain unexpected insights. Blending rigorous research with tongue-in-cheek takeaways and weaving pop culture and personal anecdotes throughout, Brown University scholars and best friends Ana Garriga and Carmen Urbita spill the juicy inside scoop on monastic life so you can better conquer today's anxiety-ridden, hyper-connected world. Be it work woes, unholy diets, or crises of the soul, the nuns of Convent Wisdom are here to guide you--with a wink and a prayer.
