Whew! I've finished the tenth Agora mystery novella. Every five stories, I am compiling them into one monster omnibus called "The Agora Letters."

The Agora Letters volume 2 is now out. It contains five complete mysteries and is on sale now.

6: Murder by Monday: A mysterious letter sends Carl Brooke and Rutherford Nordlinger off to the aid of a man who, accused of murder, is now threatened by the man he is said to have killed.

7: Eggs over Arsenic: An art critic is brutally murdered and the subject of his last review is suspected. Did the artist do it or was it one of the family members--all of whom had motive and opportunity?

8: Remember thy Oath: Edison, the most proper member of the Agora Society, hides a past he thought was long buried. The sudden appearance of a strange priest, however, reveals secrets that demand Edison honor an oath made long ago.

9: The Felled Crabapple Tree: An anonymous telegram introduces Carl Brooke to both his future wife and her conflicted brother who harbors a dark secret from the Civil War. The discovery of a deliberately cut tree reveals the presence of a mysterious one-legged man and the possible reemergence of Carl's nemesis, Thomas Drake.

10: The Eye of Bennu: Reeling from the horrific pain of the loss of Anne, his wife, Carl Brooke must face his ultimate nemesis, Thomas Drake.
