Emerald City was set up with a pre-agreed amount of members of ten racial and social demographics (The Muslims, The Homeboys, The Aryans, The Bikers, The Italians, The Latinos, The Irish, The Gays, The Christians and The Others) to see whether they might be able to sort things out among themselves or at least to witness their attempts. Episodes comprise: 'The Truth and Nothing But...', 'Napoleon's Boney Parts', 'Legs', 'Unnatural Disasters', 'U.S. Male', 'Cruel and Unusual Punishments', 'Secret Identities' and 'Out 'o Time'.

The private detective and the witch are back investigating four new exciting mysteries: 3.1 The Mystery of the Grandest Order by Aaron Lamont. When Professor P. Stone is shot dead in their office, Tony and Cassandra find themselves on the run. A ruthless assassin is on their trail, and it seems he’ll stop at nothing to get hold of the Professor’s research. 3.2 The Mystery of the Fisherman’s Wife by Jessica Smith. It’s not unusual in the mystery-solving business for a client not to want to give you any extra information about their lives; even if it’s to help you solve the case. But when a shabby woman with a wad of cash asks Tony and Cassandra to purchase an artefact – in secret – and refuses to tell them what it is or what she wants it for, that lack of information could lead to her own murder…3.3 The Mystery of a Mother’s Love by William Proudler. After the death of her grandmother, Alice’s had a lot of thinking to do. She wants to be a detective, too. When Howard Finch storms into Tony and Cassandra’s office, insisting they find his missing wife. Alice can’t help but tag along. What seems at first like an open and shut case soon takes a sinister turn, as Alice finds herself confronted with something she’s tried so hard to forget. Some things should be left alone, some things should never be found. 3.4 The Mystery of the Jack-in-the-Box by Zara Symes. If there’s one thing that Tony and Cassandra have learned during their time working together it’s that even the most innocent of objects can hide the most hideous of evils. But, when their gypsy friend Mari returns with a supposedly possessed Jack-in-the-Box, even our seasoned detecting duo are taken aback.

Here is the book that Frank J. Prial in the "New York Times Book Review" called "delightful...it weaves history, geography, wine, and some of the fascinating people who make it into a downright enthralling tale." It is the grape that has been stepped on, but never crushed. Long thought to produce workaday wines at best, the zinfandel grape has triumphed in the last decade, with stylish, sophisticated wines from the Ravenswood and Ridge wineries, among many others. In "Zin," David Darlington delves into the murky and curious history of the wine and takes the story right up to the present, with portraits of the eccentric artisans who engineered the ascension of America's "native" wine. With an unerring eye for detail (a bedraggled vineyard in Sonoma County is described as looking "like a collection of fright wigs") and a gift for the on-target characterization (Sutter Home, for example, is called "the Sylvester Stallone among wineries"), Darlington has created a classic transcending its genre.

But the reluctant vampire faces resistance from his conscience: a brilliant scientist by the name of Julia Hoffman. Faced with a difficult choice, Barnabas finds that whatever path he takes could result in the loss of his closest friend. A self-contained horror story with a sting in the tail, the Dark Shadows story continues in this hour-long audio drama, based on the classic ABC-TV series. Actors from the series reprise their various roles from across three centuries of Dark Shadows history in an all new story with specially composed music and cinematic sound design.
