When the Wollstonecraft Detective Agency is approached by famous
fossil hunter Mary Anning, the team know that this could be their
most important case yet. Mary Anning's precious dog has been
snatched - to get her back, the kidnappers demand she lie about
fake dinosaur bones, and pretend they are genuine. Now the
Wollstonecraft detectives have just three days to track down the
fossil fakers, and save the integrity of science! The game is
afoot: blood-sucking leeches, smoke bombs and diabolical disguises
abound. And behind the lies and fakery, a genuine criminal may
finally be revealed . . .
When Mary Godwin and Lady Ada Byron first meet, they don't exactly
hit it off. But with crime on the rise, the unlikely pair form a
detective agency to hunt down clever criminals on the streets of
London. Their first case involves a stolen necklace, a false
confession, and lots of suspicious suspects - but these are no
match for Ada and Mary. Filled with daring balloon chases, vile
villains and two unforgettable heroines, The Case of the Missing
Moonstone is the first in a thrilling new series; perfect for all
aspiring sleuths.

The controversial and influential Gnostic accounting of the Gospel
of John; appearing in English for the first time.
Twenty-two centuries ago in Alexandria, a sect of philosopher-poets
fashioned a myth the strands of which weave through Christianity,
Judaism, Islam and Greek philosophy, and inspired the legends of
the Holy Grail. Long banished to the realm of notorious heresy, the
myths of the Gnostics took root in the fertile imagination of the
nineteenth century's artistic movements and esoteric circles,
bearing fruit in the daily spiritual practice of thousands today.
In 1945, a library of Gnostic writings surfaced form the Egyptian
desert, allowing the movement--after 1500 years of propaganda and
slander--to speak with its own voice. Rich in imagery, nostalgic in
tone, Gnosticism quietly restores Wisdom to her place as a Goddess
in Western religion, reveres Eve as the first saint, and
acknowledges Mary Magdelene as foremost of the Apostles.
Teenage swordswoman. Grave-Robber. Arsonist. Nun. Assassin.
Superstar. La Femme Nikita of the 1600s. The true story of 17 year
old Julie d'Aubigny, who took 17th century Paris by storm, by
stardust, and by steel. Queen of the underground dueling scene
among the wealthy sons of noblemen, daughter of the King’s
fencing master, she rose in scandal, blood, and reputation to
become the leading star of the Paris Opera. Distilled from French
“YÉ YÉ” pop, 1980s Delacorta beach novellas, and Luc Besson
films, Sword Girl: La Maupin is a Rococopunk sugar-frosted hand
grenade.
