Softcover/Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Every ten years, the town of Penrose gathers beneath the Great Oak to read a promise its founders made in 1878. For a long time now, nobody has really listened.Dr. Andr? DeLorme did. The visiting archaeologist came to Oak Meadow to prove something beautiful: that the town had been fitted, carefully and on purpose, into a landscape far older than itself. He photographed the oak's long shadow, checked it against the old survey, and smiled.On Sunday morning a fisherman found him in Stillwater Lake.The county calls it a drowning.

And the closer Ari comes to the last hour beneath the oak, the closer the truth comes to the people he loves.A tender, fair-play mystery about friendship, memory, and what it costs to keep a promise.In Penrose, the dead aren't forgotten. They're waiting to be remembered. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 336.…

Softcover/Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. A storm loosens the cedar roots on Sehome Hill, and a sealed glass jar surfaces. Inside: a fragment of silver ore, a brass claim tag stamped 1855, and pages of symbols no one in Penrose can read.Ari Penrose sells books for a living and reads history for pleasure. He knows the tag should not exist. It belongs to Excelsior, the mining settlement that stood here before Penrose had a name and has never been found.Sophia Eden takes the pages into the archives. Clair Finch, Mag Delancy, and Jason Bloom take the rest: cemetery registries, altered surveys, a parcel that vanished from the county maps.Then someone breaks into the Book Nook and steals nothing.Oliver Crowley left instructions, not treasure. What does a surveyor bury on purpose, and who in Penrose is still keeping it buried?The Silver Cipher is Book Two of the Penrose Mysteries. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 314. …

Softcover/Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. A locomotive headlight comes out of the ground beneath Penrose's north district. The Heritage Preservation Board calls it industrial debris and files it.Bookseller Ari Penrose disagrees.Then a sinkhole opens overnight in the municipal lot, wide enough to swallow a park bench - and Jason Bloom, standing at its edge, says the thing nobody wants to hear: whatever is down there has been holding the street up.Beneath Penrose sits Engine No. 3, sealed since 1865, and a passenger car nobody ever accounted for. The founding families called it containment. What they meant was civic language wrapped around an industrial disaster and the people who died in it.Construction starts in eleven weeks.Ari isn't just racing the truth. He's racing the backhoes.

Softcover/Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. For eleven days, the covered bridge is the only way in or out of Penrose, and the county has just chained it shut.On the first morning, Dale Vance sits at the Second Act counter and mentions something that's been nagging at him. He's counting the carvings inside the bridge for the museum, and the list says fifteen. He keeps getting fourteen.By the next dawn, he's dead on the gravel bar below the deck.No coroner can cross. The only record of who was on the bridge that night is a flagger's logbook, and it names a seventeen-year-old who won't say why he was there. As the butter runs low and the town turns on one of its own, the Penrose Five and Detective Elena Navarro follow the trail back to another boy, drowned under the same bridge in 1911, after the town agreed that he fell.Load Limit is the darkest, most ambitious Penrose Mystery yet: a story about what a town carries, and what it can't.
