John Granville & Emily Turner Books 1-3
(2019)(A book in the John Granville & Emily Turner Historical Mystery series)
An omnibus of novels by Sharon Rowse
This historical mystery set includes the first three full length novels in the John Granville and Emily Turner series:
THE SILK TRAIN MURDER:
It's 1899, and the Silk Trains - with their fragile cargo of silk, valued at three quarters of a million dollars - race across the continent to New York. If the thieves don't get to them first.
When his best friend is arrested for the murder of a notorious gangster, gentleman adventurer John Granville is determined to hunt down the real killer.
To save his friend, Granville must dive into the seedy side of the city - the burlesque halls, gambling joints, and opium dens that line reeking mudflats. He finds allies along the way, including Emily Turner, the emancipated daughter of a very Victorian father. But with a fortune in Klondike gold and Chinese silk at stake, no-one is safe.
Set on the Northwest Coast during the Klondike Era - when Vancouver, Seattle and San Francisco were gateways for Klondike gold and Chinese silk, The Silk Train Murder features strong characters and a well-researched and lively story.
Finalist for the Arthur Ellis Best First Novel Award
THE LOST MINE MURDERS:
John Granville is offered a fortune to find a lost gold mine, one that legend says is protected by more than secrecy - and nearly turns it down. But the search for his partner's stolen niece has stalled. They need funds to find the child - - and buy her freedom.
Saving a child's life is worth whatever danger they might face. And how much trouble can a lost mine really be?
Granville and his partner find themselves targeted by murderous claim jumpers who want the mine - if it even exists - for their own greedy purposes. And Granville's engagement to Emily Turner is bringing her too much attention, of the lethal kind. Can their quick thinking and quicker action can save them and those they care about?
THE MISSING HEIR MURDERS:
In this gripping mystery, John Granville and Emily Turner take on the case of the missing heir of a powerful Earl.
Young Rupert Weston has vanished without a trace. And his last known address is a Vancouver postal station. Finding him is not going to be easy.
What little trail there is leads north - into the wilderness. And every time they get close to an answer, someone winds up dead.
Racing to save the missing heir puts Granville and Emily's honor and their own lives at stake. Will they be in time?
