"Three-quarters of a century ago, Dorothy L. Sayers compiled the classic anthology The Omnibus of Crime, a definitive collection of short fiction that brought together crime and mystery works from the Apocryphal Scriptures to whodunits from the 1920s. Now, reflecting the explosive developments in the genre, Tony Hillerman and Rosemary Herbert celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary of that book's publication with A New Omnibus of Crime. Like Sayers's volume, this new book is envisioned as a vehicle carrying stories the editors think represent the best in crime and mystery writing in our time. Selections also reflect the tastes of Contributing Editors Sue Grafton and Jeffery Deaver, both of whom have stories in this volume."--BOOK JACKET.

Buried hoards. A missing brother. Three thrilling tales of betrayal, corruption, and stolen art... After a disastrous treasure heist in Bermuda, knitter and textile historian Phoebe McCabe bolts to London to run a rare carpet gallery and slam the door on her past once and for all. But the family skeletons won't stay in the closet, the stalkers won't leave her alone, and every black market cartel in Europe will kill to get what they think she knows. Only she doesn't know anything...yet. When a priceless ancient textile arrives at the shop the same day a body is found in the trash, Phoebe realizes running is no longer an option. She needs to get tough fast in order to stay alive and thrive on her own terms. If that means bringing her errant brother to heel and tackling ruthless cartels all while dealing with her own rogue heart, then so be it. It's survival of the gutsiest in the world of art heists and black market crime and there's no room for the limp-willed or the conflicted. With occasional help from the urbane and secretive Sir Rupert Fox and his former MI6 assistant, plus her godfather and the perpetually confounding involvement of his sexy archaeologist son, Noel, Phoebe becomes snarled in heist after heist while being chased by Interpol and black market cutthroats alike. Whose side is she on? Can love rule out over conscience? What Phoebe does to finally resolve her tangled priorities is the stuff that a best-selling series is made of. In Rogue Wave, Phoebe sets out to locate her missing brother in Bermuda and finds far more than she bargains for but not what she ultimately needs. In Warp in the Weave, Phoebe travels to Turkey to track down a priceless antique carpet shrouded in mystery but hanging by a thread. In Beautiful Survivor, a missing countess and a crumbling villa in Amalfi lead Phoebe to a hoard of Etruscan gold and an explosive family reunion a long time coming. Moving from one beautifully described location to another, author (and designer) Jane Thornley weaves colorful characters with threads of intrigue, history, and romance, to create three standalone fast-paced thrillers that will leave you craving more. Read on to books 4 and 5 in a series readers claim to be binge-worthy. If you love humor, exotic locals, and page-turning action, here is your series. What readers are saying: "After reading the first three Crime by Design series, i couldn't wait to read the rest of the series within a few days. What more can I say? Just start at the beginning." "Non-stop action, interesting locales, archaeology, and knitting. If you like interesting characters, textiles, and adventure, you will like these stories." "A fun and entertaining series. Fast-moving. Engaging mysteries. I can't wait for the next book in the series." "Best read in a lonf time."
