A true account : Hannah Masury's sojourn amongst the pyrates, written by herself / by Howe, Katherine,1977-author.;
"In Boston, as the Golden Age of Piracy comes to a bloody close, Hannah Masury--bound out to service at a waterfront inn since childhood--is ready to take her life into her own hands. When a man is hanged for piracy in the town square and whispers of a treasure in the Caribbean spread, Hannah is forced to flee for her life, disguising herself as a cabin boy in the pitiless crew of the notorious pirate Edward "Ned" Low. To earn the freedom to choose a path for herself, Hannah must hunt down the treasure and change the tides. Meanwhile, professor Marian Beresford pieces Hannah's story together in 1930, seeing her own lack of freedom reflected back at her as she watches Hannah's transformation. At the center of Hannah Masury's account, however, lies a centuries-old mystery that Marian is determined to solve, just as Hannah may have been determined to take it to her grave."--

Manuscript for murder : a novel / by Fletcher, Jessica.; Land, Jon.;
"Jessica Fletcher has had plenty to worry about over her storied career, both as a bestselling novelist and part-time sleuth. But she never had any reason to doubt her longtime publisher and trusted friend Lane Barfield. When mounting evidence of financial malfeasance leads to an FBI investigation of Lane, Jessica can't believe what she's reading. So when it appears that Barfield has committed suicide, Jessica takes on the task of clearing his name. Sure enough, Jessica turns up several inconsistencies in the case against Barfield as well as the fact that he may have been murdered. Jessica knows something is being covered up, but what exactly? At the heart of her investigation lies a manuscript Barfield had intended to publish after all other publishers had turned it down. The problem is that manuscript has disappeared, all traces of its submission and very existence having been wiped off the books. Jessica's search for answers immerses her in a shadowy underground world and puts her on a dangerous path leading all the way to the White House. With her own life now in jeopardy, Jessica refuses to back off and sets her sights on uncovering the truth behind what lies in the pages of the mysterious manuscript, as well as the identity of the person who penned it. But will she close the book on the killer before they can write her obituary?"--
