George Denton never believed in the notion of love at first sight, not when his parents regaled him with the story of how they met, not when his elderly grandmother married her bridge partner, not even when the prettiest girl in all the world moved to the picturesque village of Lincoln Point.

The Todd Gleason series has received acclaim from such distinguished sources as Mystery Scene magazine and the Mystery Gazette, as well as from best-selling authors like Jeremiah Healy, Jeff Abbott, SJ Rozan, Tamar Myers, and others. Now, from an author who has been said to deliver "an ending like Agatha Christie on helium", here are two novellas featuring his con-man-with-heart.

Matthew Clark has returned to the upstate New York village of Eckert's Landing for a family crisis, only to be dragged down a dark path of murder and suspicion. The body of an unknown woman has turned up on the abandoned railroad tracks, and local police chief Rick Kelly doesn't know where to begin his investigation. The only clue is the fact that the method of murder mirrors that of a killer who haunted the village 20 years ago. But the Engraver, as he was dubbed, is long gone, or so it is believed.

At 34, Brian Duncan has it all. A trendy Manhattan life, a high-powered PR job, and a gorgeous fiancée with an exciting future of her own. Then, in a single moment of deception, Brian's world crumbles. Bitterly betrayed, he decides to toss away all he has worked for. Irresistibly drawn to the road, he leaves the city's busy streets behind. On a hillside along New York's Hudson River Valley, Brian is transfixed by the beauty of an enormous windmill. Running toward it is a lovely little girl and her alluring mother, Annie Sullivan.

Twenty years ago, Vanessa Massey couldn't wait to graduate from high school and make her small hometown of Danton Hill a distant memory - despite an indelible friendship she'd recently forged. But life has largely ignored her plans, and time has summoned her back to the shores of Lake Ontario for a school reunion that could change everything.

From Joseph Pittman comes this serialized tale of secrets, murder, and the search for the ultimate truth. Combining his appreciation for small town life as seen in his Linden Corners series with his love of mystery as evidenced by his Todd Gleason crime novels, The Original Crime is a tour-de-force of suspense fiction.

With fear holding a lock on the residents of Eckert's Landing, Matt knows a break must come soon in the Engraver case. Digging deep into lives of the families of the original victims, Matt stumbles upon an even bigger secret, one that threatens to not just expose a killer but possibly destroy his own life. As a storm rages and the Eckert River begins to flood the town, Matt comes face to face with a brutal killer - whose identity shocks him to his very core. As the flood waters rise, so too does the tension, the danger, and only one last desperate act will bring about a solution.
