War and Peace is a vast epic centred on Napoleon's war with Russia.
While it expresses Tolstoy's view that history is an inexorable
process which man cannot influence, he peoples his great novel with
a cast of over five hundred characters. Three of these, the artless
and delightful Natasha Rostov, the world-weary Prince Andrew
Bolkonsky and the idealistic Pierre Bezukhov illustrate Tolstoy's
philosophy in this novel of unquestioned mastery. This translation
is one which received Tolstoy's approval.

A lost novel from the golden age of crime, published for the very
first time. It happened on a dark and misty night; the night of the
ball at The Prince's Hall, Fordings. Abuzz with rumours surrounding
the disappearance of Rosemary Reeve on the eve of last year's ball,
the date proves ill-fated again when two homebound partygoers, Nick
and Dilys, come to a swerving halt before a corpse on the road.
Arriving at the scene to the news that Nick has been attacked after
telephoning for the police, Inspector Turner suspects there may be
more to the case than deadly accident. It's not long before Waring
of the local C.I.D. is drawn into the investigation, faced with the
task of unravelling an increasingly tangled knot of misleading
alibis and deep-rooted local grievances. Written in the last years
of the author's life, this previously unpublished novel is a
tribute to Lorac's enduring skill for constructing an ingenious
puzzle, replete with memorable characters and gripping detective
work. This edition also includes an introduction by the CWA Diamond
Dagger Award-winning author Martin Edwards.
