Pourquoi courber ton front plus bas que de coutume? Quel mal avons-nous fait, pour ne plus nous ch rir? Vois, la lampe p lit, l' tre scintille et fume; Si tu ne parles pas, le feu qui se consume, Et la lampe, et nous deux, nous allons tous mourir Tu nous trouveras morts pr s de la lampe teinte. Alors, que diras-tu quand tu t' veilleras? Tes enfants leur tour seront sourds ta plainte. Pour nous rendre la vie, en invoquant ta sainte, II faudra bien longtemps nous serrer dans tes bras...
Bathed in sweat from the same nightmare that haunted her dreams these last six months, Katherine Lambert rolled over, switched on the bedside lamp, and peered at the clock before reaching for the small-framed photograph on her nightstand. After a few minutes of staring at the image, she wiped away a tear. Today was the day. Detective Chief Inspector Kate Lambert had purposely chosen this day to resign from her twenty-year career with the MET. Today was to have been her wedding day until the murder of her fellow officer and fianc e in a botched hit ended her dreams. Kate was the target of the hit meant to end her investigation into the notorious crime boss, Victor Smolenski, until her partner pushed her to the ground saving her life and sacrificing his own.

Hoping to gain some inspiration for her new career in writing, Kate books a stay at Agatha Christie's summer retreat, Greenway, before searching for her new Devon home.

Suddenly, Kate's plans for retirement are put on hold when she discovers the victim's murder has ties to the man responsible for her fiancee's death.

"Beware the sign of the vampire blood," said the fortune teller. "It brings madness and turmoil." Lily Gayle knows what that means, but, for the life of her, can't figure out how the fortune teller does. A quick road trip with Dixie. An unplanned stop at a roadside park. And, an hour later a dead body. Lily Gayle, Dixie and Miss Edna find themselves knee deep in another homicide investigation when the local vet assistant turns up dead behind an outbuilding at the farmers market. Lily Gayle believes the words of the fortune teller will have a major impact on the investigation but can't bring herself to tell the other ladies. To reveal what she believes the words mean might bring trouble to another old friend. And would betray a trust. Only Ben knows and he, as usual, advises Lily Gayle to stay out of his investigation - which she isn't about to do. When the secret is revealed, the townspeople go mad and the fortune tellers words come true. Can Lily Gayle, Dixie and Miss Edna solve the murder before more people are harmed?

Ernest William Hornung (7 June 1866 - 22 March 1921) was an English author and poet known for writing the A. J. Raffles series of stories about a gentleman thief in late 19th-century London. Hornung was educated at Uppingham School; as a result of poor health he left the school in December 1883 to travel to Sydney, where he stayed for two years. He drew on his Australian experiences as a background when he began writing, initially short stories and later novels. In 1898 he wrote "In the Chains of Crime", which introduced Raffles and his sidekick, Bunny Manders; the characters were based partly on his friends Oscar Wilde and his lover, Lord Alfred Douglas, and also on the characters of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, created by his brother-in-law, Arthur Conan Doyle. The series of Raffles short stories were collected for sale in book form in 1899, and two further books of Raffles short stories followed, as well as a poorly received novel. Aside from his Raffles stories, Hornung was a prodigious writer of fiction, publishing numerous books from 1890, with A Bride from the Bush to his 1914 novel The Crime Doctor. The First World War brought an end to Hornung's fictional output. His son, Oscar, was killed at the Second Battle of Ypres in July 1915. Hornung joined the YMCA, initially in England, then in France, where he helped run a canteen and library. He published two collections of poetry during the war, and then, afterwards, one further volume of verse and an account of his time spent in France, Notes of a Camp-Follower on the Western Front. Hornung's fragile constitution was further weakened by the stress of his war work. To aid his recuperation, he and his wife visited the south of France in 1921. He fell ill from influenza on the journey, and died on 22 March 1921, aged 54. Although much of Hornung's work has fallen into obscurity, his Raffles stories continued to be popular, and have formed numerous film and television adaptations. Hornung's stories dealt with a wider range of themes than crime: he examined scientific and medical developments, guilt, class and the unequal role played by women in society. Two threads that run through a sizeable proportion of his books are Australia and cricket; the latter was also a lifelong passion. George Washington Thomas Lambert ARA (13 September 1873 - 29 May 1930) was an Australian artist, known principally for portrait painting and as a war artist during the First World War.
