Minster's wife, caterer, and part-time sleuth Faith Fairchild pairs up with Sophie Maxwell, last seen in Body in the Birches and now a newlywed living in historic Savannah, Georgia, where Sophie crosses paths with murder. Another delightful entry in the beloved mystery series, complete with delectable recipes.
Attorney Sophie Maxwell has come to Savannah to be with her new husband, Will. But nothing throws cold water on a hot relationship faster than a dead body. Worse for Sophie, no one believes the body she knows she saw is real. Will is spending an awful lot of time in Atlanta on a case he claims is urgent, and she's been tasked with house hunting for them with his former sweetheart, who Sophie can't help but suspect wishes Sophie would return to her Yankee roots!
Fortunately, Sophie has a good friend in Faith Fairchild. With teenage Amy being bullied by mean girls and husband Tom contemplating a major life change that will affect all the Fairchilds, Faith is eager for distraction in the form of some sleuthing. In between discussions of newlywed agita, surprising Savannah customs and, of course, fabulous low country food, Faith and Sophie will pair up to unmask a killer!
Her limbs were frozen in place as she stared down at the man, a dark shape against the rich colors of the Oriental carpet on the floor. It was impossible to believe. A body in the wardrobe?
She opened her mouth, took a deep breath, but couldn't make a sound. And then as if a starter's gun had gone off, she tore down the stairs and found herself in the kitchen, staring at a door she knew was locked. Just as all the doors were.
Her phone! She looked down at her bare legs. The phone was in the bedroom. She'd taken it out of her skirt. The skirt she was about to hang in the wardrobe. The wardrobe where the dead man had been. Waiting for her to open the door.
Think, Sophie, think! She snatched the landline receiver from the counter, punching in 9-1-1, turned the lock, and wrenched the door open, stumbling into the cool night air. Relief started to flood over her until she realized the killer could be hiding behind the stacks of lumber and bags of cement that filled that garden at the back of the house. Quickly she darted to the path surrounding the house and the gate beyond. She pushed down on the handle; it opened easily.
There was no front yard, only a small patch of ivy with a cast iron planter at the foot of the stairs leading to the front door. Gloria had filled the urn with red cyclamen, evergreens, and pinecones. Sophie moved across to the square and stood under a streetlight. No cars were passing and no one was on the sidewalks, although lights were on in most of the houses.
Her call was picked up. Listening to the voice on the other end saying "this call is being recorded," Sophie struggled to clear her throat, finally gasping out, "There's a dead man in my bedroom. He's been stabbed."
The remarkably calm-sounding woman on the line responded by asking Sophie's name, the address, and if she was still inside the house. Sophie answered, her voice getting stronger. Her heart began to slow and her mind began to clear.
"Can you confirm the identity of the dead man?"
"No, I don't know." Her thoughts swirled again. Who was he? One of the crew working on the house? She was almost positive she had never seen him before, yet it had all happened so fast she hadn't gotten more than a glimpse of his face.
"There is a squad car in your area and will be with you immediately," the dispatcher said. "Are you alone?"
"Yes," Sophie answered. "I'm alone." Very alone.
But not for long.
Two police cars, lights flashing, pulled up. Officers wasted no time rushing into the house—through the back when Sophie told them she thought the front was locked. A female officer took Sophie into one of the cars and put a blanket around her. Sophie hadn't realized she was shivering until she felt the warmth. She was able to answer questions—her name again and a description of the deceased—"At least six feet tall. Heavyset. Long dark hair. Greasy. Dark clothing. Maybe jeans." She closed her eyes, trying to see it again. Not wanting to see it again.
"Can you describe the weapon?" The officer was busy taking notes.
"A knife with a long, thick black handle. I couldn't see the blade. It was . . ." Sophie felt her throat close and stopped.
"That's fine. You're doing just fine, honey. Is there someone we can call? Family?"
Sophie almost laughed. An hysterical sort of laugh. Her accent had betrayed her. The question mark after "family" could have been drawn in the air with neon it was so vivid. She wasn't from here.
"My husband is in Atlanta working. This is my mother-in-law's house."
Neighbors had gathered a safe distance away from the action. Sophie could see them in small knots speculating on what piece of Savannah news was unfolding. She was overwhelmed with fatigue. The fatigue that had haunted her since the night of the party. She wanted Will. Will, her husband, her beloved. And she wanted him now. Tears gathered in the corners of her eye and blurred the surreal scene outside the squad car window.
The door opened and the officer who had been the first to take off for the house slid next to Sophie.
"Mrs. Maxwell?"
Sophie wiped her eyes with her hand and sat up straight, clutching the blanket around her. "Yes?"
"You did say that the man fell out of the wardrobe in the bedroom at the top of the stairs in the front of the house?"
"Yes, I was putting my clothes away and he . . ." Her voice gave out again for a moment, but she regained it. "He came tumbling right out and I could see he was dead."
The officer's voice softened. "There's no one in the house, dead or alive, darlin'."

The victim, Cindy Shepherd. was well-known locally for her acid tongue and her jilted beaux, which created a lot of bad blood and more than a few possible perpetrators -- including her luckless fiance, who had neither an alibi nor a better way to break off the engagement. Faith thinks it's terribly unfair that the police have zeroed in on the hapless boyfriend, and so she sets out to uncover the truth. But digging too deeply into the sordid secrets of a small New England village tends to make the natives nervous. And an overly curious big city lady can become just another small town death statistic in very short order.

In this homage to Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, Faith Fairchild is asked to cater a very small, very private college reunion on an isolated New England island—an event that could be her dream job.

One by one, the alumnae fall prey to a madwoman. A disturbed sister's revenge . . . or a former coed's coverup? Faith must quickly unlock the secrets of Hélène's last night if she wants to leave the island alive.
The Body in the Gallery [17]
Faith's catering business has been slow with the downturn of the economy, so when her friend Patsy Avery proposes that she take over the café at Aleford's Ganley Art Museum, it seems like a not-to-be-missed opportunity. And Patsy has an ulterior motive—she discovers that the Romare Bearden piece she lent the museum has been switched with a fake and wants Faith to snoop around to find the culprit.
Life at the museum doesn't stay calm for long and Faith is soon enmeshed in the Ganley's murky past and present as she struggles to make connections among apparently disparate items: the fake Bearden, Pepperidge Farm Goldfish crackers, and a Jane Doe corpse that turns up as an unintended part of an art installation. At home, son Ben, now in the hell known as middle school, becomes involved in a cyberbullying escapade and husband Tom wants his wife to morph into June Cleaver.
Her investigation takes Faith into Boston's art scene and historic Beacon Hill, as well as into the lives behind the façade of the Ganley's very proper board of trustees. She is at her wit's—and almost dead—end, as the killer strikes again, and again.

Pix knows that Faith and her husband, the Reverend Thomas Fairchild, will keep an eye on the slowly recovering Ursula. What she and Faith don't know is that the tale Ursula spins over the course of several weeks will reveal an unsolved crime dating back to 1929 and the Great Depression.
Meanwhile, more current mysteries are brewing. The discretionary fund at the church has been pilfered and the Reverend Fairchild is the only person with access to it.

But it's love at first sight, and before she knows it her life is changing drastically.

Thankfully, back home she has her adoring great-uncle Sky to rely on, even if his much younger wife has always struck Faith as slightly odd. For the ceremony Uncle Sky has offered up the use of his mansion on Long Island, which would be the perfect location if only the brickwork wasn't suspiciously falling off the roof.

In spite of being overwhelmed by her decision to leave her home in the Big Apple and the multitude of tasks involved in getting married, Faith has no doubts about being married to her beloved Tom.

Interview with conductor Manfred Honeck
Wednesday, 11 August 2010 , ora 10.38
Perhaps a less familiar name for the Romanian public, Austrian conductor Manfred Honeck has been the Music Director of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra since 2007, during which he also assumed his positions as generalmusikdirector of the Staatsoper Stuttgart and Principal Guest Conductor of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra.
I first came across Manfred Honeck on a CD containing Mahler's Symphony no. 1, a recording that really touched me, so I took full advantage of this interview opportunity that came during the Dresden Music Festival that I attended. The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra conducted by Manfred Honeck took the stage of the Semper Opera House on May 23rd 2010.
First of all, I would like you to make a short description of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, so that the Romanian public would have a concise portrayal of the band.
The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra is one of the most prestigious orchestras in America, it is wonderful to see how many people wish to be part of it; technically speaking, they are extraordinary instrumentalists; it is known that in America, the performers are very technical, but we are more than that, they are capable of playing anything the conductor asks them. So, they are a group of wonderful musicians and very technical.
Should we say, however, that they represent a merge between the features of an American orchestra and a European one?
It must be said that the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra has been conducted by great names, from Otto Klemperer and Wilhelm Steinberg to Lorin Maazel and Mariss Jansons, so there is indeed a European touch to the orchestra. But nothing works out if the technical part of the performance is not taken care of; when a violinist has technique, he is able to express himself as he wishes, and the same goes to an orchestra. Thus, I did not have to concentrate on the technical part, but on the music itself, from the very beginning.
Let us talk now about the concert in Dresden that took place on the 23rd of May, 2010. You conducted Mahler's Symphony no. 1, the same one you recorded and a wonderful record indeed, broadcast also by Radio Romania Music on February 2010. During an interview taken by my colleague Andra Ivănescu, you said that you had a new perspective on the symphony, on Mahler's works in general. What is this new perspective?
Listeners might think that this is a new interpretation, but at the same time, it is an old one, because almost 100 years later after Mahler's death, we have already forgotten to play the way that Mahler thought. I am talking about the tempo, the phrasing, the old landlers - even in Vienna all of these have been forgotten. My work meant bringing this tradition back to life; I was very fortunate with the education I was given, my father wanted me to play the zither, this ancient Austrian instrument, and I did not like it at all, after 2 or 3 years of study, I stopped and I was very happy. Now, however, I realize that the experience I have gained by playing waltz, polka and traditional march is now helping me better understand Mahler's score. We know that Mahler used a lot of traditional, Austrian sounds combined with more profound themes on life and death. He is not just describing a spiritual world, but an earthly one as well: with despair, grotesque, and all its curiosities. I wanted to bring all of this to life and we can find it in the traditional music. And I repeat: my vision of Mahler is rather traditional than modern, but the people believe it to be modern, precisely because the old manner of interpretation is not known anymore.
In the article that I have written about Mahler's Symphony no. 1 CD, I also touched the subject of your slow-tempo approach, just like Celibidache. Do you think Celibidache would have played Mahler the way you play it?
I believe Celibidache is one of the world's greatest conductors; he is phenomenal. Mahler's world is far from Celibidache's musical approach; it is incredible, for instance, how he managed to reveal such purity in Bruckner's symphonies. Mahler needs a lot of colour, in a different manner. In my opinion, the tempo is a means of giving identity to a musical work. So, if you play slower, it means you hear more...
It is what Celibidache said as well. But it is difficult to play slower...
It is in a way, more difficult because you have to rein in the rhythm, keep the tension, and in the end you have to know why you want to do this. Playing slower might bring more expressive power and that is why I needed more time to reveal the sounds and the energy of music.
Symphony no. 1 is part of a cycle of symphonies by Mahler that you played with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. When will you finish approaching all Mahler's symphonies?
This is a long-term project of 5 to 6 years. That is when we plan to end the Mahler cycle. In February 2010, we recorded Symphony no. 4 which will probably be launched in June 2010. And, in mid-June we will be recording Symphony no. 3.
Still with the Exton record company?
Yes, we have a good professional relationship with them and they are very careful with the sound and with what I want to do.
As far as Symphony no. 1 is concerned, the recording was special, and the result was a great audio CD. The technical part is very important…
Yes, indeed, and the Japanese are known for their keen eye for details, so I am very pleased to be collaborating with them. Mahler's symphonies have a complex score, but they manage to make listeners aware of the details in the score of each instrument. And for me, even as a simple listener, this is very important. Of course, you cannot say that during a fortissimo one can hear the harp, in particular, but in the case of other instruments, the sound engineers can reveal their specific transparency and plasticity.
I was quite impressed with the wind instruments.
Yes, the orchestra has extraordinary blowers, capable of everything.
With respect to the concert's program, the one in Dresden (May 23rd 2010), besides Mahler's Symphony no. 1, you will also be conducting Robert Schumann's Cello and Orchestra Concerto. Do you and soloist Jan Vogler share a common vision on this piece?
Jan Vogler is a great cellist and we have gotten along well from our very first rehearsal. We have the same background, we share the old German-Austrian tradition and I think I can say exactly the same thing about Schumann. It seems that this concert is simple, but in fact, it is quite complex. You cannot compare it to a Haydn or a Dvorak concert. These ones practically play themselves; but, just like in the case of Schumann's symphonies and oratories, you need to dig deep into Schumann's type of sonority that is connected to harmony, on the border between classic and romantic. Of course, Schumann is a romantic composer, but one has to perceive and interpret him from a classic point of view. The same rule applies to Schubert as well.
The same goes to Schumann's works for piano. They seem easy to play, but they are not...
There is a certain tendency towards a rough performance, but sometimes gentleness like the kind used to play Haydn or Mozart, is much needed. Then, suddenly, we hear Brahms-like sonorities, and this union of rarefied yet powerful sonorities is what makes Schumann so special. And Jan Vogler can play Schumann very well, aesthetically speaking, from a classic point of view.
Between May 15 and 29, 2010 you are on a European tour alongside Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. You have three concerts in the program, with three different soloists: Jan Vogler, Emanuel Ax and Anne Sophie Mutter…
Anne Sophie Mutter plays the Brahms concert, and Emanuel Ax plays Beethoven's Concert no. 5. Our musical experience with both of them is incredible; our concerts are sold out everywhere: Prague, Paris, Stuttgart and Basel. It is an important event for us and I think people would want to hear this wonderful orchestra and these great soloists.
Why is it important for an American orchestra to came and tour in Europe? The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra has planned a tour this year, and next year as well, in 2011…
I think American orchestras need tours because they are very well prepared; in this case, as you know, Pittsburgh is not that big of a city, and the orchestra has more to say in the area of international values, it needs to be advertised by media everywhere, to let the world know about it. There is no need to keep this orchestra a secret in Pittsburgh. We were given very good reviews, but what is important is that people want to listen to this orchestra. Also, the tours are a tradition that started out with Lorin Maazel and continued with Mariss Jansons. I myself, agreed to continue this tradition, when I signed the contract.
How is Europe perceived in America, as far as music is concerned?
I think we are dealing with the same problems everywhere. In America, the world of orchestras is different from the one in Europe, where orchestras are supported by the government. In America, there is a family of friends and sponsors that help the orchestra. In Pittsburgh we have a wonderful group; I call them our "angels": without them, we would not be able to go on tours, or even have seasons in Pittsburgh. This also means that in America, we have to be very creative: how to attract our public, our sponsors, and we are happy that there are a lot of people attending our concerts, especially in these times of crisis, when other orchestras had a lot to suffer. We are affected by this situation as well, but not so much as the others.
In Europe, the situation is more convenient, even during these times, however, in America our friends' and public's enthusiasm is catching and I am happy for this.
Is classic music in America for the society's upper class or not?
Unfortunately, at school, music classes have been abandoned, which is very sad and I can see some European countries dealing with the same problem as well. I also hear some opinions that economy is more important than art, when, as a matter of fact, it is not. In Pittsburgh, we visit schools and we acquaint students with the instruments, we talk about symphonies with them, about classic music and it is a very good awareness project, because young people attend our concerts. But of course, more can be done, like in Europe. It is clear that the seniors are better educated than the youth, which can sometimes be seen in the European concert halls. But if the young people have never heard of Beethoven or Mozart, why should we expect them to love them? And how can we expect them to attend the concerts? The first important step would be the education received at home, in the family, to start playing an instrument at home and to take music lessons at school, and only then can we talk about a potential public for the concerts.
You have 6 children. What do you do for their musical education?
It has always been our goal that the little ones should play an instrument. I do not push them into doing so, but I ask them what instrument they would like to play and I suggest a suited instrument. I also ask of them to study the instrument, because, for instance, when one learns a foreign language, one must know its vocabulary and grammar. The same rule applies to music. However, the decision concerning their future career is theirs to make; it is their life and parents have nothing to say on this subject.
It is good to familiarize the children with classic music because the chances for them to approach it are very big, young people also like pop music but they forget to ask questions about its culture and history. I know, from my own experience, that if you talk about classic music with them and you give them examples, they will enjoy a beautiful life; so, it is about making your children happy, even if you encounter resistance at first, when they say: it is too traditional, too dusty. But, after that, they will be grateful for understanding Mahler, Bruckner and Brahms.
You have a full life. What motivates you to always move forward?
If there is a flame burning in you, it will never settle; when I am on stage, I forget about things around me; when I am tired, when I am on stage, I plunge into music completely. But we must be careful to make time for recreation, to recharge our spiritual batteries. It is like cars, they would not go so smooth without oil. As artists, it is good we ask ourselves: "What do I do now? What is the purpose of life? Is there something I should change? Can I do something new? Can I send new messages?" That is why I always ask myself what I can do for others, and not for myself.
What is the most important thing for you in your life?
For me, as a single person, faith is very important. Just like Gustav Mahler, I ask myself why we are now, here, on this earth. Is it enough to just have millions in your pockets? Every one of us has the possibility of being born and dying.
And for me, it is important what lies after death, and I truly believe in life after death, just like Gustav Mahler and other composers. It is interesting to be connected to an experience that you cannot describe. I am one of those faithful people that are happier because they understand that everyday life is not the most important thing. What is important is to work for others, through others. For me, God is everything.
I know you met Radu Lupu. Are there any other Romanian musicians?
Romania is grateful to have such a big culture and tradition. I have many instrumentalists in the Stuttgart Opera Orchestra that are preoccupied with the promotion of Enescu's music and I am impressed with the musical life of your wonderful country. I deeply regret that I cannot come to Bucharest for the moment, which I would have loved to. I hope Radu Lupu will not remain the only Romanian musician with whom I collaborated in concerts; however, Radu Lupu offered me a wonderful musical experience, when we met at Hamburg and we played Schumann. It was simply another dimension for me, because he was not interested in playing loud, he was interested in the culture of the piano. He taught me all of this, and then I invited him to play together again, and know we have a wonderful friendship.
You were invited to open the 2011 Enescu Festival with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, but the project did not pass. What happened?
It is very hard for us to plan a tour, as there are a lot of rules. We all wanted to come to Bucharest, especially when we meant to perform in two concerts during the Festival. But, I am sure we will visit Bucharest in the future.
So, the problem was NOT that you were asked to play a piece by George Enescu?
No, not at all. This would actually be a great thing for me. No, the problem was a program mismatch. The American orchestras have clear regulations: the instrumentalists need 6 hours of rest before the concert, and you can imagine, that if the plane landed 3 hours before the concert started, the instrumentalists would have been tired and this was the only problem we encountered.
Did you ever think of an Enescu piece that you would want to study and play?
Yes, it would be great to play the Romanian rhapsodies. My friends from the Stuttgart orchestra keep calling me and I am sure it will happen someday. Now, I am very busy with the Mahler and the Beethoven projects, and we are talking about an American orchestra, so we have to play American music as well, but I certainly enjoy Enescu's music very much.

Will Dentists Be Able to Regrow Teeth In the Distant Future?
Earlier this month, Science World Report published an article on something that could change dentistry in the future. As reported in the Journal of Dental Research, doctors are getting closer and closer to helping patients replace missing teeth with new teeth grown from a patient's own stem cells. That means that one day doctors may not have to rely on artificial restorative solutions. Instead, a completely new tooth could be grown in the patient's mouth, resulting in a completely natural new smile.
The process works using a combination of specific cells taken from a patient's gum tissue. When the right cells have been singled out and combined, the mixture is transplanted to a patient's jaw, where the tooth will develop over time. The procedure is still being researched and developed, but in the future this could become an alternative to a service like dental implants.
To find out if dental implants are right for you, call Dr. Goldstein's Randolph dental office. During a consultation at Randolph Dental Care, we can diagnose your situation and help you understand if dental implants are the best solution for you.
Dr. Goldstein serves patients from Randolph, Rockaway, Mendham, Chester, Morristown, Denville, Morris County, and beyond.

The Wicked Widow Meets Her Match
Book 6 in the The Regency Rogues Series
Stefanie Sloane's intoxicating series of rogues and romance continues as a handsome spy falls for a woman who proves quite dangerous—to his heart.
Though resolute and driven by nature, dedicated spymaster Langdon Bourne has lost his way. Even his passion for his secret organization, the Young Corinthians, has waned — until he is assigned a mission with the potential to finally bring about the peace that has eluded him for nearly two decades. But to eliminate a brilliant, dangerous nemesis, Langdon needs the help of a woman whose loyalties are most uncertain.
Grace Crowther ignores the rumours that persist after the death of her husband, a merciless doctor who won her in a card game. Is she truly the black widow that many believe? One look at her angelic face and one glimpse into her heavy heart tells Langdon all he needs to know about Grace — and his own deepest desires. He needs Grace, if he's to have any chance of tracking down the leader of the nefarious gang known as the Kingsmen. But he wants her desperately, enough to forget the rules of a good spy and take risks no ordinary man would dare. For Grace has no reason to trust Langdon, or to help him. But somewhere deep inside she knows that he is the answer to her prayers.

June 1813, Home of Dr. Rupert Crowther, Bedford Square, London
"You blackguard, I do not have to entertain your vile, hollow threats. I will go directly to the King and tell him of your actions. Entering my home by force and making demands of me? He will not look kindly on such behavior, I can tell you that much."
Dr. Rupert Crowther's furious words were clearly audible behind the false drawing room wall where Grace Crowther huddled with Mrs. Templeton, the Crowther household cook. The sheet of foolscap with the menu and market notes they'd been discussing only moments before was now crumpled, forgotten in Grace's clenched fist. The two women had hastily ducked into the hiding place when they'd heard Rupert responding to a pounding on the front door, not wanting to be found using his plume pen and ink.
But now it appeared they had much more important reasons to be hidden. Any mention of the King, the notorious leader of London's most feared gang, the Kingsmen, was truly cause for concern.
"Oh, will you?" The rough male voice that replied to Rupert held amusement and an unearthly, grating tone, as if the speaker were forcing the words out over gravel or broken glass. "And just who do you think ordered me to pay you a visit, eh?"
"I do not believe you." Panic leached through Rupert's words. "He would never hurt me or my wife. We have an agreement, the King and I. You are lying."
"Ah, now ain't this a shame." A labored sigh followed the words. "I am right disappointed, Doc. There you go, making assumptions. And you an educated man what's connected to the gentry, and all."
"What do you mean, assumptions?" Rupert's voice now held less terror and more hope.
"I am here for the woman, not you." Contempt laced the man's unnerving voice.
"As I said before," Rupert countered in a high, shrill tone, "the King and I have an agreement. My wife is not to be harmed."

"Should I kill you instead, hmm?" the man asked sarcastically.
"No," Rupert pathetically begged. "Not me."
Inside the hidey-hole, Grace covered her mouth to stifle a quick, disbelieving gasp, her palm faintly salty against her lips. A gift for cruelty came to Rupert with ease. Belittling and badgering counted amongst his favorite sports. And control . . . Grace gritted her teeth against the wash of scalding hate that instantly heated her cheeks. He had wanted to control her every move, every emotion—her very life. And when Grace had failed to bend to his ways? The doctor's desire had only turned to deep-rooted loathing and contempt. Although she would never have planned to murder Rupert, she certainly wouldn't grieve his passing.
Beside her, Mrs. Templeton slid one arm around Grace's waist and pulled her protectively against her plump side.
Beyond the wall, the thud of heavy footfalls was accompanied by a string of filthy curse words. "The wife ain't here."
"She has to be. Everyone knows Mrs. Crowther never leaves this house," the first man replied, irritation making his rough voice even more of a growl. "Where is she, Doc? There's talk you tie the woman up for safekeeping."
"That is absurd and utterly false," Rupert replied with anger. "The minx has a gift for disappearing, is all."
Grace heard the meaty crack of a fist hitting flesh and Rupert cried out, groaning loudly.
"Perhaps she's in the kitchen below stairs. Spare me and I'll help you find her." Rupert's voice was filled with desperation, his breathing loud, coming in audible gasps. "As you said, it's Mrs. Crowther you want, not me. I'm no good to you dead."
Shock and outrage dragged a sharp breath from Grace and she closed her hand tighter over her lips to prevent any sound from escaping. Surely even a man as devoid of conscience as the doctor would recognize the need for atonement at such an hour. Would perhaps, even, welcome such a chance?
"You're no good to me alive, neither."
"No, no! You need me. I can find her, just give me some time. And you will be searching for the Queen's neck—"
Rupert's terrified words halted suddenly, dissolving into wet, gurgling sounds. The thud of something heavy hitting the carpet carried plainly through the wall separating Grace and Mrs. Templeton from the drawing room.
Grace bit her lip to keep from screaming, concentrating on the anger and hatred in her heart rather than the fear looming ever larger in her normally pragmatic mind.
"You did not need to do that, did you?" the second male voice commented.
"Useless, that one." The odd, gravelly voice of the first man was offhand, casual. "Forget about the doctor. Come help me with this desk drawer. It won't budge."
Both women jerked, startled by the loud screech of wood against wood. Grace's gaze flew to meet Mrs. Templeton's but the older woman appeared just as confused as she herself was.
"Not here." The man's voice held irritation. "Tear the house apart. Then we will go find the missus."
"I got no idea where to look for 'er," the second man complained. "You s'pose she got word we was comin'?"
Quick footsteps sounded on the servants' stairway.
"Let's ask whoever is coming up those stairs, shall we?"
Grace lunged for the lever to release the hidden panel, desperate to stop the unseen men from hurting a member of her staff. Mrs. Templeton grabbed her. She wedged her body against the wood, holding Grace in a determined grip and blocking access to the entry.
Grace twisted, savagely pushing against the woman in an attempt to free herself. "That might be Mr. Templeton, or Timothy!" Grace barely breathed the words, frantic to protect her butler and errand boy.
Mrs. Templeton's arms remained wrapped tightly around Grace, pinning her hands against her sides. Her voice, barely audible even to Grace, quivered with fear. "I cannot let you do this, my lady. I won't willingly put you in the path of those jackals out there. I cannot. So stop your fighting. Mr. Templeton wouldn't hear of it. Neither would Timothy."
"Who the hell are you? And what are you doing in my mistress's house?"
Grace pushed Mrs. Templeton forward as she strained to reach the door.
"You will only make things worse, my lady." Mrs. Templeton's hushed words had become as implacable as her grip.
"I do not like your tone, boy."
Grace froze at the sound of the thug's reply, jerking in silent protest when once again, the sound of a fist hitting a body reached her ears. Timothy cried out.
"Tell me where your mistress is."
"I will not." Timothy's voice was defiant. "My lady always warned me that bargaining with the Kingsmen is the work of a fool. And I'm no fool."
Again, the thud of a fist meeting soft flesh was followed by a loud grunt of pain that carried clearly through the wall.
"We are not in the business of making bargains, boy," the coarse voice rasped. "Tell me where she is or I'll slit your throat just like I did the doctor's."
"I already gave you my answer," Timothy replied, still grimly defiant.
"Is that right?" the thug asked, his words holding only mild indifference. "You ought not to have used up all my patience, boy."
Grace made to scream, her violent cry for mercy cut short by Mrs. Templeton's plump fingers clamping across her mouth.
"I am not afraid of . . ."
Timothy's sentence dissolved into a sickening gurgle.
Grace gripped Mrs. Templeton's arm, barely feeling the pinch of the older woman's fingers as she did the same in reaction to the events outside their hiding place.
"I gave you fair warning, boy. Not my fault if you were too stupid to oblige."
The thud of Timothy's body as it fell to the carpet was loud in the otherwise silent passageway.
Grace's heart slammed, pounding in her ears as she strained to hear.
"The King won't like this at all—nor will the Queen, I am thinkin'." The second man's voice held unvarnished fear.
"Couldn't be helped. We'll find the valuables, then the wife. She can't have gone far."
Heavy footsteps sounded, the echo of the men leaving fading as they moved out of the room and down the hallway beyond.
Within the hidden passage, the two women remained motionless. It was a good while later when they heard the solid slam of the back door that led to the gardens and the mews beyond that they each drew a deep, shaken breath. Even then, they stood immobile, waiting several cautious moments more before truly believing the thugs had gone.
Then their grip on each other eased, and Mrs. Templeton removed her hand from Grace's mouth.
Without the support of Mrs. Templeton, Grace's cramped fingers and stiff limbs gave out and she sank to the floor. The rough planks were cold beneath her palms and fingers, echoing the icy chill of the blood moving sluggishly through her veins and freezing her tears.
Mrs. Templeton dropped to her knees beside Grace, her hands trembling as she reached out to offer comfort.
Grace squeezed the older woman's shaking hand in hers as she stared unseeing at the rough floor. The sound of Mrs. Templeton's quiet sobbing filled Grace's head. She could not understand what had just happened. Timothy was a big, strong lad of twelve, smart as he could be, and just as kind. Four years before, when Mrs. Templeton had discovered him boldly attempting to steal a pie cooling on a table near the kitchen door, she'd boxed his ears then asked Grace what should be done with the rascal.
Timothy had cried. Then Grace had cried. And Mrs. Templeton had followed right along. The boy was hired; one potential criminal saved from the streets, and a family was knit together out of odd scraps and old thread.
Grace lifted her skirt and reached for the knife she kept strapped to her thigh. She stood with the blade in her hand, bracing herself. "Come, Mrs. Templeton. We must hurry."
"My lady?" the cook asked, tears spilling down her cheeks as she looked up at her. "I can't go out there. Not with our dear Timothy . . ."
Grace swallowed hard. She dreaded the scene that she knew with deep certainty awaited them in the drawing room beyond the hidden panel. But she also recognized they had no time to waste. The killers would be back. She could not risk Mrs. Templeton's safety.
She tugged, urging the woman to her feet.
"You've no choice. Stay here and we will be found, as will Mr. Templeton. I need you to be strong. Can you do that for me?"
Mrs. Templeton nodded, her chin firming with purpose, and tightened her hold on Grace's hand.
"Good." Grace reached for the lever that would allow the panel to swing open. "Now, close your eyes. I will guide you. There's no need for you to see Timothy as he is now. Remember the lovely boy as he was."
She grasped the wooden handle and turned it, wishing she could also close her eyes.
Grace steeled herself, breathed a silent, fervent prayer, and pushed the door panel outward.
Langdon Bourne, the Earl of Stonecliffe, rubbed his tired eyes and then examined the deep wrinkles that crisscrossed his clothing. He attempted to stir some disgust within himself. Linen shirt, silk waistcoat, even his buff breeches looked as though the earl had recently slept in them—which he had. He could not remember when he'd last changed. Nor eaten a decent meal, for that matter. Or left the room he inhabited at present. And he did not particularly care.
Some would say his indifference was due to the urgent nature of the business at hand. As an agent for the Young Corinthians, a covert spy organization in service to the crown, Langdon had spent a long, grueling three days interrogating members of the Kingsmen.
Others would wonder if the recent marriage of Langdon's fiancée, Lady Sophia Afton, to his brother might have something to do with his detachment.
Both would be correct.
His entire life had been spent in the pursuit of what was right, honest, and true. Goodness was the ultimate goal. A true gentleman, who put family and honor first, the only role he ever possessed any desire to play. And where had all of his effort, his restraint, his sacrifice, his bloody goodness gotten him?
Langdon shrugged his wide shoulders as he considered the question. Nowhere. Or worse than nowhere—lost. He absentmindedly took in his surroundings for the hundredth time. The office supposedly occupied by the solidly respectable firm of Manx & Chisom was a fraud, though one would never suspect it to be so. Created by the Young Corinthians as a place for interrogation, the room's unadorned white walls, solid wood desk and chairs, and neat stacks of documents placed about the rooms proclaimed the resident to be a man who practiced law, not espionage.
What the spy organization set out to accomplish they did with single-minded determination, be it the minute details of the false office where Langdon now sat or the overthrowing of criminal gangs, duchies, and even countries. Formed during the reign of Queen Elizabeth, the Young Corinthians would have pleased Socrates, who so famously touted that necessity was indeed the mother of invention. Elizabeth's Golden Age had been a highly creative period in England's history, as well as a time of prosperity and peace—or so it looked on the surface. The Queen's father's reign had proven to be one of the bloodiest England had ever seen. As for the Virgin Queen? She had intended to end the Tudor dynasty on a high note and had ruled with a more moderate hand and forgiving heart.
But beneath the Virgin Queen's seemingly perfect empire? Plots, intrigue, and conspiracies brewed.
Queen Elizabeth was the target of many assassination attempts and conspiracies against her rule—a fact that did not please her particular friend and spymaster, Francis Walsingham.
In order to safeguard the Queen and her crown, Walsingham had formed the Young Corinthians and hidden the organization deep within the British government. The year was 1570. Though Walsingham had successfully defended the Queen countless times before, the infamous Ridolfi plot shook the spymaster to his core. An early supporter of the Northern rebellion, Florentine banker and ardent Catholic Roberto Ridolfi conceived of a plan that included support from abroad in a bid to bring Mary, Queen of Scots, to the throne.
The plot was foiled, the Queen saved. And the Young Corinthians were born.
Walsingham engaged those men whom he felt he could trust—in other words, nobles with a stake in the success of the Queen's empire. The spymaster recruited heavily from the ranks of dukes and earls, viscounts and barons. He funded the undertaking with his own coin and taught his recruits all that he knew about operating within the deep and murky world that lay beneath the shimmering facade of Elizabeth's Golden Age.

Naked News is a Canadian news and entertainment program owned by Naked Broadcasting Network. It features nude female news presenters reading news bulletins derived from news wires. The show's production studio is located in Toronto. There are six daily news programs a week and they are approximately 22 minutes long. The female cast members either read the news fully nude, or disrobe as they present their various segments, including entertainment, sports, movies, food, sex and relationships. Naked News TV! is an offshoot of the web program and is broadcast on pay TV in various countries around the world.

The show recruits women from around the world to appear on a regular basis or as guest reporters. Their auditions, where women try out for the program, is one of the most popular segments and generates the most viewer feedback.  Another popular segment is Naked in the Streets in which a reporter goes topless in the street and asks the public about various topics.

History

Naked News was conceived by Fernando Pereira and Kirby Stasyna and debuted in December 1999 as a web-based news service featuring an all-female cast. It began with only one anchor, Victoria Sinclair, who worked for the program until 2015. As the show grew, the number of female anchors increased. Roxanne West joined Sinclair as a lead anchor, and other cast members included Holly Weston, April Torres, Lily Kwan, Sandrine Renard, Erin Sherwood, Athena King, Brooke Roberts, Michelle Pantoliano, Erica Stevens, Samantha Page, Christine Kerr and Valentina Taylor, plus guest anchors. The website was popularized entirely by word of mouth, and quickly became a popular web destination. During the height of its popularity, the website was receiving over 6 million unique visitors per month. In the site's early days, the entire newscast could be viewed for free online. The site was initially supported by advertising, but this changed after the collapse of Internet advertising that occurred with the dot-com crash. By 2002, only one news segment could be viewed for free, and by 2004, no free content remained on the website. Beginning in 2005, a nudity-free version of Naked News was available to non-subscribers. Beginning in June 2008, two news segments could be viewed for free. However, this ended in December 2009.

Following the success of The Naked Truth, a similar show on Russian television, Naked News launched Naked News TV!, the first Internet news program to successfully transfer from website to cable television. It was initially broadcast on Viewers Choice in Canada in 2001, and was first broadcast in the United States a few months later by the iN DEMAND cable TV service on its Too Much for TV pay-per-view network that also included Girls Gone Wild. In 2002, it was broadcast in Australia on The Comedy Channel via cable and satellite television platforms Foxtel and Austar. The British channel Sumo TV briefly showed episodes of Naked News, while the free-to-view Playboy One broadcast the show at 9:30pm Mondays-Fridays until its closure in 2008.

Naked News launched a Japanese version of the show in 2006. Japanese broadcasting regulations prohibited the presenters from being fully naked, allowing them only to strip to their underwear. In 2007, the Japanese government changed broadcasting guidelines to prevent the show receiving a subsidy for the section delivered in sign language.

A male version of the show ran from 2001 until 2007. It was created to parallel the female version, but ceased production as it did not enjoy the female version's popularity and fame. Although it was originally targeted towards female viewers (at one point said to be 30% of the website's audience), the male show later promoted itself as news from a gay perspective.

In the media
In 2013, Naked News was the subject of an eight-part documentary series called Naked News Uncovered, which was broadcast on Super Channel in Canada.

The female announcers have been featured in almost every medium including television (CBS Sunday Morning, The Today Show, The View, Sally Jessy Raphaël, and numerous appearances on Entertainment Tonight and ET Insider), newspapers and magazines (TV Guide, Playboy), and as guests on several radio shows, including Howard Stern.

Similar shows

In the late 1990s, British cable television channel L!VE TV broadcast Tiffani's Big City Tips, in which model Tiffani Banister gave the financial news while stripping to her underwear.

Imitators
 Comédie+ – In 2001, this French cable TV network ran a series promos featuring males and females casually undressing as they read jokes. In 2006 they copied the Naked News format in its entirety in a striptease newscast called Les Nuz, except the anchors keep their bottom underwear on.
 Radio Tango – In 2001 this radio station based in Oslo, Norway began featuring stripping female weather readers in their broadcasts and on their website.
 A very similar phenomenon by the name "Noodie News" appears in Canadian Margaret Atwood's 2003 novel Oryx and Crake.
 Počasíčko (diminutive of "weather") was Czech TV Nova's past-10PM featurette launched in January 1998 where a nude woman (or occasionally, a man) got dressed in clothing appropriate for the next day's weather forecast. This was discontinued after several years and returned as web-only in February 2007. When Nova launched a new online portal in May 2008, it included a "Red News" section causing controversy; asked about the Naked News, they denied securing license and stressed Počasíčko's primacy.
 In June 2009, plans for Naked News Korea were announced. It featured a similar format to the Canadian version but with less nudity. This was later revealed to be a scam. After barely a month of operations, Naked News Korea, which featured topless news anchors, abruptly closed down amid allegations that the CEO, John Chau, disappeared with all of the company's money. Although Chau bought the naming rights from the Naked News, it was never an official subsidiary of the Toronto-based Canadian company.
 In March 2010, students at the University of Cambridge presented a news segment on Cambridge University Television in the nude.
 French spoof news site Les Graves Infos (Serious News) was launched in mid-2009 with a stripping weather girl. The site closed in February 2010.
 In June 2014, a very similar show was released in Venezuela called Desnudando la Noticia (Stripping the News) which is a variant of Naked News.
 In Portugal, a five-minute news bulletin fronted by a naked woman, titled Nutícias, premiered on 22 April 2002 on cable station SIC Radical. The show was canceled in 2003.
 A Finnish copy of the Naked News concept was broadcast on the country's Aluetelevisio cable television channel. The show employed erotic actress Maria Kekkonen as a reporter. A former porn actress, Rakel Liekki, also worked for the show.

Parodies
 A 2005 episode of the satirical New Zealand news show Eating Media Lunch depicted newsreaders fornicating in a parody of Naked News called "Fuck News".
