Paperback. Condición: New. Amateur detective extraordinaire Myrtle Hardcastle is back for Book 3 in this Edgar Award-winning, cozy mystery series. Just as she was in Premeditated Myrtle (Book 1) and How to Get Away with Myrtle (Book 2), Myrtle is on the case again, tracking down a killer out for revenge amid the Christmas festivities in Victorian England.When the proprietor of Leighton's Mercantile is found dead on the morning his annual Christmas shop display is to be unveiled, it's clear a killer had revenge in mind. But who would want to kill the local dry-goods merchant? Perhaps someone who remembers the mysterious scandal that destroyed his career as a professor and archaeologist.

Paperback. Condición: New. Calvin Sidey is always ready to run, and it doesn't take much to set him in motion. As a young man, he ran from this block, from Gladstone, from Montana, from this country. From his family and the family business. He ran from sadness, and he ran from responsibility. If the gossip was true, he ran from the law.lt's 1963, and Calvin Sidey, one of the last of the old cowboys, has long ago left his family to live a life of self-reliance out on the prairie. He's been a mostly absentee father and grandfather until his estranged son asks him to stay with his grandchildren, Ann and Will, for a week while he and his wife are away. So Calvin agrees to return to the small town where he once was a mythic figure, to the very home he once abandoned.But trouble soon comes to the door when a boy's attentions to seventeen-year-old Ann become increasingly aggressive and a group of reckless kids portend danger for eleven-year-old Will. Calvin knows only one way to solve problems: the Old West way, in which scores are settled and ultimatums are issued and your gun is always loaded.And though he has a powerful effect on those around him - from the widowed neighbour who has fallen under his spell to Ann and Will, who see him as the man who brings a sudden and violent order to their lives - in the changing culture of the 1960s, Calvin isn't just a relic; he's a wild card, a danger to himself and those who love him.ln As Good as Gone, Larry Watson captures our longing for the Old West and its heroes, and he challenges our understanding of loyalty and justice. Both tough and tender, it is a stunning achievement.…

Hardback. Condición: New. For Pluto, summer has always started with a trip to the planetarium. It's the launch to her favourite season, which also includes visits to the boardwalk arcade, working in her mum's pizzeria, and her best friend Meredith's birthday party. But this summer, none of that feels possible.   A month before the end of the school year, Pluto's frightened mum broke down Pluto's bedroom door. What came next were doctor's appointments, a diagnosis of depression, and a big black hole that still sits on Pluto's chest, making it too hard to do anything.   Pluto can't explain to her mom why she can't do the things she used to love. And it isn't until Pluto's dad threatens to make her move with him to the city - where he believes his money, in particular, could help - that Pluto becomes desperate enough to do whatever it takes to be the old Pluto again.   She develops a plan and a checklist: If she takes her medication, if she goes to the planetarium with her mum for her birthday, if she successfully finishes her summer school work with her tutor, if she goes to Meredith's birthday party . . . if she does all the things that "normal" Pluto would do, she can stay with her mom in Jersey. But it takes a new therapist, a new tutor, and a new (and cute) friend with a checklist and plan of her own for Pluto to learn that there is no old and new Pluto. There's just her.…
