- The lost tomb : and other real-life stories of bones, burials, and murder / by Preston, Douglas J.,author.; Grann, David,writer of foreword.;
"What's it like to be the first to enter an Egyptian burial chamber that's been sealed for thousands of years? What horrifying secret was found among the prehistoric ruins of the American Southwest? Who really was the infamous the Monster of Florence? Douglas Preston's journalistic explorations have taken him from the haunted country of Italy to the jungles of Honduras. He was granted exclusive journalistic access to the largest tomb in Egypt's Valley of the Kings, broke the story of an extraordinary mass grave of animals killed by the asteroid impact that ended the Cretaceous period and caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, and explored what lay hidden in the booby-trapped Money Pit on Oak Island. When he hasn't been co-authoring bestselling thrillers featuring FBI Agent Pendergast, Preston has been writing about some of the world's strangest and most dramatic mysteries. The Lost Tomb brings together an astonishing and compelling collection of true stories about buried treasure, enigmatic murders, lost tombs, bizarre crimes, and other fascinating tales of the past and present"--- Subjects: Trivia and miscellanea.; Archaeology; Civilization, Ancient; Curiosities and wonders.;

Holly notices that Trixie and Twinkletoes, her calico kitty, are fixated on the big oak tree. Trixie barks at it as though she thinks it's a corpse! Just as contestants are spicing up their sweet gingerbread creations, the majestic tree drops an enormous limb. The mayor declares that the tree is dangerous and must come down. When a bulldozer churns up some roots, the tree falls over on its own accord revealing a body inside the trunk! Initially, everyone suspects this unsavory trick was Orly's doing. But it soon becomes clear that someone is trying to keep the truth under wraps.

- Cheater / by Rose, Karen,1964-author.;
"A shocking murder leaves an affluent retirement community reeling in this riveting high-stakes thriller. Death is not an unfamiliar visitor to Shady Oaks Retirement Village, which provides San Diego's premier elderly support from independent retiree housing to full-time hospice care. But when a resident's body is found brutally stabbed and his apartment ransacked, it's clear there's someone deadly in their community. Detective Katherine "Kit" McKittrick quickly discovers that Shady Oaks is full of skeleton-riddled closets, and most tenants prefer to keep their doors firmly closed to the SDPD. A longtime volunteer at the retirement facility, Dr. Sam Reeves honors his late grandfather's memory by playing the piano for the residents regularly. So it shouldn't be such a surprise when Kit crosses paths with him during her investigation, after she'd avoided the criminal psychologist - and the emotions he evokes - for the last six months. Sam's rapport within the retirement village proves vital to the case, and the pair find themselves working together once again - much to Kit's dismay. But she is determined to apprehend the shadow of death lurking around Shady Oaks ... and equally determined to ignore the feelings she's developing for a certain psychologist"--- Subjects: Thrillers (Fiction); Novels.; Man-woman relationships; Murder; Policewomen; Psychologists; Retirement communities;
