Anything but Murder: Heists and Hooligans

A vertical book cover-style promotional image dominated by deep shadows and warm amber and orange tones. The upper half features the interior of what appears to be a museum or gallery — a wide, dimly lit hall with polished reflective floors and recessed ceiling lights. At the far end, centered on the back wall, a large painting glows vividly against the darkness: birch or aspen trees rendered in white with orange and red autumn foliage, set against a bold red and pale blue background. A red-orange light pools on the floor beneath it, stretching forward like a reflection. Partial glimpses of other artworks in warm amber and brown tones are visible along the side walls. The lower half of the image transitions into a close-up of a sculptural installation at floor level — overlapping, curved metallic forms in deep gold and bronze catch the light, creating a rippling, layered texture that fills the foreground. A small circular mirror or reflective disc is partially visible near the bottom center. In the upper left corner, a small logo depicts a pair of bare feet sticking out from beneath an open book, with the text 'Mysteries to Die For' arching around it in a semicircle on a green and orange badge. A vertical gold bar runs along the right edge of the image. Text: ANYTHING BUT MURDER: HEISTS AND HOOLIGANS MYSTERIES TO DIE FOR HOSTED BY TG WOLFF AND JACK WOLFF

Gone Fishin’: Crime Takes a Holiday (The Eighth Guppy Anthology)

An illustrated scene features a cartoonish orange fish leisurely lying back on a deck chair beneath a beach umbrella. A drink sits beside the fish, enhancing its relaxation vibe. In the background, a shark fin juts out from the water's surface, adding an element of intrigue. Further back, the silhouette of a ferris wheel rises against the horizon. The image is overlaid with text that reads: Gone Fishin': Crime Takes a Holiday, The Eighth Guppy Anthology.
