Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hitchcock Sewell, Baltimore's hippest undertaker and civilian sleuth, is back in a second sly, original mystery. One of the most charming and offbeat amateur detectives to come around in years, Hitchcock Sewell does for the undertaking profession what Marilyn Monroe did for the ukulele--gives it a touch of class. In this rollicking follow-up to Tim Cockey's "witty, punchy, snappy, well-written, and dang funny debut" (Harlan Coben, author of The Final Detail), a surprise blizzard dumps more than snow on the steps of Sewell & Sons funeral home--it leaves behind the corpse of a murdered waitress as well. Hitch's television meteorologist girlfriend sees the crime as an opportunity to move into hard news. Her unctuous mentor wants to beat Hitch to the punch. Hitch's snooping takes him from low-life strip joints to high-tone mansions, proving yet again that undertakers and their clue-happy cohorts can be a pretty lively bunch.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After several visits to study Icelandic sagas, Nancy Brown returns to Iceland to search for the perfect Icelandic horse, one she can bring back to her Pennsylvania farm and make her own. To do so, she must become part of the country's tightly knit horse-breeding community, which can be wary of outsiders and extremely protective of the world-famous breed. In this clear-eyed, evocative account set against Iceland's austere and majestic landscape, she describes what makes Icelandic horses and their owners so distinctive. She also discovers her limitations as a horsewoman and learns much about what she is looking for-in a horse and in her life.

Book excerpt: Color has fascinated horse lovers for centuries, and the story of the formation of the different breeds is closely tied to the subject of color.

Combining a modern understanding of genetics with a wealth of historical documentation, this series gives a more complete picture of the founding of the different breeds and shows how this relates to the unusual colors popular in the present day. An Introduction to Colors and Patterns opens the series with a look at the different colors and patterns, giving detailed explanations written in plain English. Full color photos and illustrations are used throughout to enhance the text.

Book excerpt: "A SMART, WITTY MYSTERY. . . The suspense mounts, and the solution surprises.--The Cleveland Plain Dealer When a quarter-million-dollar show horse and a top trainer are found brutally murdered side by side, Natalie Gold, a reporter for the Charlotte Commercial Appeal, seizes the chance to get off the fashion beat she so detests: she knows the rich, competitive, and devious world of the show horse circuit. Teamed with handsome investigative reporter, Henry Goode, Nattie makes the rounds of the Carolina show horse circuit, pumping society matrons for scandals and tracking down trainers. But as she closes in on the truth, Nattie becomes the target for a series of increasingly savage death threats, not only to herself, but to her beloved horse, Brenda Starr. . . . "DELIGHTFUL. . . . I hope Natalie Gold doesn't wait too long before jumping back into the suspense-story saddle again." --Washington Post Book World "YOU'LL WANT TO GO ALONG FOR THE RIDE IN HORSE OF A DIFFERENT KILLER.--The Virginia Pilot & Ledger "SHADES OF ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE'S SILVER BLAZE! . . .
