Synopsis The Beasts of Belladonna by : Gilbert Allen
If the short story collections of John Cheever and Flannery O'Connor had a love child, it would be The Beasts of Belladonna. Alternately hilarious and heartbreaking, Gilbert Allen's collection of fifteen linked stories explores every corner of the suburbanized foothills of South Carolina. Belladonna--a gated community with Tuscan architectural covenants--boasts a championship golf course, compulsory three-car garages, faux cobblestone sidewalks, and a lively assortment of cats, dogs, birds, deer, goldfish, and spider monkeys. Its human inhabitants include a skeptical high-school biology teacher and his stubbornly devout Methodist wife; a 300-pound biracial woman determined to lose weight; the county's self-appointed Pavement Imperfection Coordinator; the state's first African American optometrist; a sociopathic TV reporter and her would-be savior (a young minister from Southern California nicknamed Jesus of Malibu); and a Guatemalan housekeeper tormented by her evangelical employer's cat. Although you won't find Belladonna on any map, you might have already encountered its past, present, and future in Allen's previous collection, The Final Days of Great American Shopping, which Ron Rash praised as "a delightful collection whose interrelated stories give the pleasure of a novel." And The Beasts of Belladonna is even better.

Synopsis Beauty, Beast, and Belladonna by : Maia Chance
From the author of Cinderella Six Feet Under, a beauty must solve a beastly murder. Variety hall actress Ophelia Flax knows how to win over an audience. That’s why she’s accepted the marriage proposal of the brutish Comte de Griffe to nettle her occasional investigative partner—and romantic sparring partner—the pompous if dashing Professor Penrose. But with his boorish table manners, wild mane of hair, and habit of prowling away the wee hours, the comte has shredded Ophelia’s last nerve. She intends to disengage from her feral fiancé at his winter hunting party—until Penrose, his lovely new fiancée, and a stagecoach of stranded travelers arrive at the comte’s sprawling château. Soon she can’t tell the boars from the bores. When one of the guests is found clawed and bloody in the orangerie, Ophelia is determined to solve the murder before everyone starts believing the local version of Beauty and the Beast. But until the snows melt, she can’t trust her eyes—or her heart—since even the most civilized people hold beastly secrets...

Synopsis Ernest Oglesby by : Ernest Oglesby
Gabriel has always thought himself the last survivor of his species until he learns his daughter, Mirabelle, may still be alive. Believed to be stillborn, Mirabelle was taken from Laura, at birth. Now, with only a name to go on, Gabriel commissions his friends around the world to help find her. But when his contacts come up empty-handed, he pins all his hopes on his Italian Mafia contacts. What Gabriel is about to discover will change his world forever. It is soon revealed that Mirabelle, who is known by the code name Belladonna, is a female operative within the Vatican's Sword of Solomon organization, the same organization that has pursued his kind for centuries. Belladonna is an assassin and a good one. Known to be a shrewd operator who lives up to her name, Belladonna continues her work, not realizing that her real parents are doggedly pursuing her. But Laura knows there is no way she can afford to let Gabriel find their daughter first. Tormented by her own demons, Laura has no idea that Gabriel harbors his own dark secrets. In a world where vendettas are a way of life and the past has a horrible way of coming back to haunt those who seek happiness, a struggle among opposing forces ensues and a fierce battle to save their future.
