In the village of Cascade Canyon, a rare book is dropped off at Past Life Emporium thrift store, owned by Keeley Carisbrooke. Hidden inside this first edition of The Tomb of Tut Ankh Amen, by legendary archaeologist and Egyptologist Howard Carter, is an old letter containing a strange and tragic secret. As a pattern of deadly events spirals from 1920s upstate New York to the present-day in the Pacific Northwest, Keeley and those she loves become entangled in a dangerous mystery. Faced with threats, attacks and wrongful accusations, the close-knit community of Cascade Canyon comes together to protect and defend each other against extraordinary dangers. Keeley and her friends help Charles Deeds, an antiquities expert and owner of the mysterious book, in a quest for truth and justice, while uncovering his troubled family history. A classic page-turner that touches on past and present dangers lurking in dark corners and on forest trails, The Scales of Anubis will engage readers who enjoy a good suspense story. From long-buried secrets and the search for redemption, to the power of friendship and community, this is a cozy mystery to curl up with in front of the fire or beside a warm summer sea.
A fresh start in Scotland's Orkney Islands is just what artist Caris MacLeod needs. Leaving British Columbia and a broken marriage behind for the wild coast of Orkney, Caris is immediately captivated by Mark Raffin, a mysterious, aloof neighbour who has an affinity for Orkney art. Despite some tense encounters with Mark, Caris soon feels welcome in the community. She immerses herself in Orkney’s spectacular beauty and its Norse history, myths and legends, which lift her creative spirit and inspire her to paint. She even finds herself falling in love with Mark—until she sees him with another woman. When an Englishwoman, Sarah, buys Caris’s artwork and invites her to a private showing in Yorkshire, Caris becomes entangled in some deep family ties—and dark history—all linked to her new home in Orkney. Navigating a world of myth, lore, dreams, and a touch of magic, Caris begins to learn that the truth may lie in the past ... and the path towards reconciliation is a more complicated journey than she could have imagined.
