"The Case of the Missing Buddha" follows private detective Neil as he and his partner Alicia pursue criminals who have backtracked them on a road, leading to a desperate struggle where Neil fights for his life against an ebbing strength before a gunshot ends the battle. "Terror at Tarn House" involves Detective Mallory investigating a hundred-thousand-dollar shortage at Hunter Construction connected to the firm, discovering embezzled funds and old fishing tackle, ultimately uncovering a murder when Ruth is found dead—leading to a climactic confrontation where Jim and Ruth become trapped and hunted by gunfire in a desperate escape attempt from a chimney.
When a young woman named Alicia Jordan discovers a mysterious ticket hidden in a dead businessman's telephone, she's drawn into a dangerous web of secrets surrounding a priceless jade Buddha. Pursued by strangers eager to possess the figurine and forced to question the motives of those around her, Alicia must uncover why this beautiful object has sparked such deadly intrigue—and whether the charming young man who's entered her life can be trusted. A tense blend of crime and romance set against the backdrop of 1950s Manhattan, where greed and passion collide over a single coveted treasure.
Jim Hawkins and Ruth Johnson's happiness crumbles when a massive embezzlement at his firm lands Jim under arrest for a crime he didn't commit—and the evidence seems damning. Desperate to save the man she loves, Ruth races against time and a deadly blizzard to reach the Governor with proof of his innocence, but the very walls of the sinister Tarn House seem determined to keep her trapped. Betrayal, sabotage, and shadow-haunted corridors close in as Ruth fights to expose the real culprit before it's too late.
