From #1 New York Times bestselling author Chloe Gong comes two captivating new novellas surrounding the events of Foul Lady Fortune and following a familiar cast of characters from the These Violent Delights Duet!
In A Foul Thing, Roma and Juliette have established themselves as the heads of an underground weapons ring in Zhouzhuang, making a living the way they do best while remaining anonymous in their peaceful, quiet life. But when they hear about several Russian girls showing up dead in nearby towns, they decide to investigate—and ultimately discover that this mystery is much closer to home than they ever imagined.
In This Foul Murder, Benedikt and Marshall have been summoned by Roma to find the elusive scientist, Lourens, and bring him to Zhouzhuang. Time is of the essence aboard the week-long Trans-Siberian Express, but when someone is murdered on board, Benedikt and Marshall convince the officer in charge not to stop the train so that they aren’t thrown off-schedule. Instead, they pretend that they are investigators and promise they can solve the murder, but as they dig deeper, they realize that the murder might having surprising ties to their own mission…
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights and Our Violent Ends comes the second book in the captivating Foul Lady Fortune duology following an immortal assassin in 1930s Shanghai as she races to save her country and her love.
Winter is drawing thick in 1932 Shanghai, as is the ever-nearing threat of a Japanese invasion.
Rosalind Lang has suffered the worst possible fate for a national spy: she’s been exposed. With the media storm camped outside her apartment for the infamous Lady Fortune, she’s barely left her bedroom in weeks, plotting her next course of action after Orion was taken and his memories of Rosalind wiped. Though their marriage might have been a sham, his absence hurts her more than any physical wound. She won’t rest until she gets him back.
But with her identity in the open, the task is near impossible. The only way to leave the city and rescue Orion is under the guise of a national tour. It’s easy to convince her superiors that the countryside needs unity more than ever, and who better than an immortal girl to stir pride and strength into the people?
When the tour goes wrong, however, everything Rosalind once knew is thrown up in the air. Taking refuge outside Shanghai, old ghosts come into the open and adversaries turn to allies. To save Orion, they must find a cure to his mother’s traitorous invention and take this dangerous chemical weapon away from impending foreign invasion—but the clock is ticking, and if Rosalind fails, it’s not only Orion she loses, but her nation itself.

Assassin. Immortal. Spy. From the #1 New York Times bestselling
author of These Violent Delights comes the first book in a
captivating new duology following an ill-matched pair of spies
posing as a married couple to investigate a series of brutal
murders in 1930s Shanghai. It's 1931 in Shanghai, and the stage is
set for a new decade of intrigue. Four years ago, Rosalind Lang was
brought back from the brink of death, but the strange experiment
that saved her also stopped her from sleeping and aging - and
allows her to heal from any wound. In short, Rosalind cannot die.
Now, desperate for redemption for her traitorous past, she uses her
abilities as an assassin for her country. Code name: Fortune. But
when the Japanese Imperial Army begins its invasion march,
Rosalind's mission pivots. A series of murders is causing unrest in
Shanghai, and the Japanese are under suspicion. Rosalind's new
orders are to infiltrate foreign society and identify the culprits
behind the terror plot before more of her people are killed. To
reduce suspicion, she must pose as the wife of another Nationalist
spy, Orion Hong. Although Rosalind finds Orion's cavalier attitude
and playboy demeanour infuriating, she is willing to work with him
for the greater good. But Orion has an agenda of his own, and
Rosalind has secrets that she wants to keep buried. As they both
attempt to unravel the conspiracy, the two spies soon find that
there are deeper and more horrifying layers to this mystery than
they ever imagined. PRAISE FOR CHLOE GONG 'An electrifying,

The year is 1927, and Shanghai teeters on the edge of revolution.
The heartstopping follow up to These Violent Delights, an
imaginative, alluring retelling of Romeo and Juliet set in 1920s
Shanghai. After sacrificing her relationship with Roma to protect
him from the blood feud, Juliette has been a girl on the warpath.
One wrong move, and her cousin will step into usurp her place as
the Scarlet Gang's heir. The only way to save the boy she loves
from the wrath of the Scarlets is to have him want her dead for
murdering his best friend in cold blood. If Juliette were actually
guilty of the crime Roma believes she committed, his rejection
might sting less. Roma is still reeling from Marshall's death, and
his cousin Benedikt will barely speak to him. Roma knows it's his
fault for letting the ruthless Juliette back into his life, and
he's determined to set things right - even if that means killing
the girl he hates and loves with equal measure. Then a new
monstrous danger emerges in the city, and though secrets keep them
apart, Juliette must secure Roma's cooperation if they are to end
this threat once and for all. Shanghai is already at a boiling
point: The Nationalists are marching in, whispers of civil war brew
louder every day, and gangster rule faces complete annihilation.
Roma and Juliette must put aside their differences to combat
monsters and politics, but they aren't prepared for the biggest
threat of all: protecting their hearts from each other. *** PRAISE

Book of 2020 Perfect for fans of The Last Magician and Serpent
& Dove, this heart-stopping debut is an imaginative Romeo and
Juliet retelling set in 1920s Shanghai, with rival gangs and a
monster in the depths of the Huangpu River. The year is 1926, and
Shanghai hums to the tune of debauchery. A blood feud between two
gangs runs the streets red, leaving the city helpless in the grip
of chaos. At the heart of it all is eighteen-year-old Juliette Cai,
a former flapper who has returned to assume her role as the proud
heir of the Scarlet Gang--a network of criminals far above the law.
Their only rivals in power are the White Flowers, who have fought
the Scarlets for generations. And behind every move is their heir,
Roma Montagov, Juliette's first love...and first betrayal. But when
gangsters on both sides show signs of instability culminating in
clawing their own throats out, the people start to whisper. Of a
contagion, a madness. Of a monster in the shadows. As the deaths
stack up, Juliette and Roma must set their guns--and grudges--aside
and work together, for if they can't stop this mayhem, then there
will be no city left for either to rule.

Netgalley - 5 star review
A cemetery full of the restless dead. A town so wicked it has
already burned twice, with the breath of the third fire looming. A
rural, isolated bridge with a terrifying monster waiting for the
completion of its summoning ritual. A lake that allows the drowned
to return, though they have been changed by the claws of death.
These are the shadowed, liminal spaces where the curses and
monsters lurk, refusing to be forgotten. Hauntings, and a variety
of horrifying secrets, lurk in the places we once called home.
Written by New York Times bestselling, and other critically
acclaimed, authors these stories shed a harsh light on the scariest
tales we grew up with.
