Stella Ryman, the feisty octogenarian star of Mel Anastasiou's Fairmount Manor Mysteries, made her debut with The Case of the Third Option and returned with The Poison Pen Affair, The Four Digit Puzzle, and The Case of the Vanished Resident. In her latest adventure, The Thief Named Edge, the machineries of institution fail to protect Fairmount Manor, and it's up to Stella to chase down a thief. No good deed goes unpunished, though, and Stella faces a sacrifice that will hit her where she lives.
