It's bad enough that the first-born grandsons of Alder Bay's coffee club are disappearing one by one … but when one of their grandmas is found murdered, reporter Elliot Lake knows evil has dripped its way into his sleepy little coastal town.

Trouble's also brewing with his girlfriend Rose, so by the time his parents show up, he's done. He's ready to hide in his crappy trailer on the beach and spend his days pounding sand with his chocolate Lab Bruce and tuxedo cat Bob until it all blows over, but he can't: Elliot's met the mysterious and intuitive Sky Lark, and she's set to change his life for the better.

Armed with only the visions of the violet-eyed Sky and the ramblings of local mumbling man Jeremy, Elliot Lake is on the story and solves the mystery while fighting his feelings for the very married Sky.

Ten years ago, Craig Johnson wrote his first short story, the Hillerman Award-winning "Old Indian Trick." This was one of the earliest appearances of the sheriff who would go on to star in Johnson's bestselling, award-winning novels. Each Christmas Eve thereafter, fans rejoiced when Johnson sent out a new short story featuring an episode in Walt's life that doesn't appear in the novels; over the years, many have asked why they can't buy the stories in book form.

Wait for Signs collects those beloved stories — and one entirely new story, "Petunia, Bandit Queen of the Bighorns" — for the very first time in a single volume, regular trade hardcover. With glimpses of Walt's past from the incident in "Ministerial Aide," when the sheriff is mistaken for a deity, to the hilarious "Messenger," where the majority of the action takes place in a Port-A-Potty, this short story collection is a necessary addition to any Longmire fan's shelf and a wonderful way to introduce new readers to the fictional world of Absaroka County, Wyoming.

On a foggy night in 1914, the ocean liner Empress of Ireland sank en route between Canada and England. The disaster saw a loss of life comparable to the Titanic and the Lusitania, and yet her tragedy has been forgotten.

When genealogist Jefferson Tayte is shown a locket belonging to one of the Empress's victims, a British admiral's daughter named Alice Stilwell, he must travel to England to understand the course of events that led to her death.

Tayte is expert in tracking killers across centuries. In The Lost Empress, his unique talents draw him to one of the greatest tragedies in maritime history as he unravels the truth behind Alice's death amidst a backdrop of pre-WWI espionage.

Chris Massi has been running from his world his entire life. The son of a Mafia assassin and the former son-in-law of a mob kingpin, Massi has tried to stay on the right side of the law, building a prestigious career as an attorney, and insulating his children as much as possible. But now a series of tragedies have left him without a law license and without several of his loved ones. And at the same time, his teenaged son is beginning to gravitate toward the gangster world Chris has tried so hard to protect him from.

Michele Mathias has been running away from her life for more than a decade. Once a promising young woman with a future, she's now a drug addicted street player living with the knowledge that her daughter — the only bright thing in her life — was taken away from her. When her roommate is murdered in a mob-related hit, her life intersects with Chris's life — and their worlds change forever.

For Chris, a showdown is coming. The only way for him to save his son and regain his future is to face — and maybe even embrace — the demon he's always avoided. For Michele, her last chance at redemption has arrived.

London, 1943. The wartime private detective Johnny "One-Eye" Hawke is dealing with a strange client. He swears he's seen a ghost — his wife, dead for years, appeared out of nowhere on a tube station platform.

Meanwhile, a sinister new protection racket has set itself up on Johnny's patch, operated by the mysteriously re-invigorated Bernstein gang. Their violence is getting a little too close for comfort …

Johnny must solve the strange case of the platform ghost, under fire from the Bernstein gang. But as Johnny searches through the blackout for the elusive Beryl, he also has to deal with the realisation that for the first time in his life he is in love — with Maxine, a costume designer who, thankfully, has been called away from London on work.

At least she's out of harm's way. Or so Johnny thinks …
