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of the author's life, this previously unpublished novel is a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.
Are high-school girls Nanoha and Chidori ready to face the storms in
their new romantic relationship together?
Nanoha and Chidori are best friends who attend the same all-girls high
school—and also share a heart-pounding secret: they’re lovers. Through
sunny days and tumultuous storms, they’re always ready for new
adventures together.
After resolving the big fight during the Nagasaki field trip, Nanoha
and Chidori return home, their relationship stronger than ever. Then,
Mai, the underclassman with secrets of her own, accidentally reveals
her crush on Nanoha—to none other than Chidori!
In Pianos and Flowers we are invited to glimpse a world long
departed. In these stories, inspired by long-lost photographs, the
lives of the people in the frame are imagined and then explored,
layer by layer. Three sisters brought up in Penang, caught in the
tide of war. A group of small boys in a Glasgow slum - their
childhood blighted by poverty, their adult lives taking very
different paths. A young woman's search for love in the unlikely
realm of Egyptian antiquities. And through all of these
photographs, and all of these stories, there runs the same refrain:
the possibilities of love, of friendship, of happiness lie before
us.
'A masterpiece of the genre' If you mess with the Glass family,
don't expect to live to tell the tale... What was meant to be a
straightforward jewellery heist goes horribly wrong, and the
thieves are forced to take a hostage to make their escape. But when
they discover their prisoner is the infamous Nina Glass - one of
the bosses of the most dangerous criminal dynasty in London - they
soon realise they have made a terrible mistake. Greed wins out over
good sense and the gang decide to make the best of a bad situation.
They send Luke Glass a ransom note, but they're messing with the
wrong people. The Glass family have other problems. The crooked cop
they have on their payroll - DCI Oliver Stanford - makes an
unwelcome discovery. The insider they had all presumed dead, may in
fact have survived, and still be feeding information to the police.
Under attack from all sides, and desperate to save his sister, Luke
has the reputation and survival of the Glass family in his hands -
is this the end of their empire? Three people can keep a secret -
if two of them are dead... Pacey, explosive and unforgettable,
Hustle is perfect for fans of Martina Cole, Kimberley Chambers and
Mandasue Heller. What readers say about Owen Mullen: 'Owen Mullen
knows how to ramp up the action just when it's needed... he never
fails to give you hard-hitting thrillers that have moments that
will stay with you forever...' 'One of the very best thriller
writers I have ever read.' 'Owen Mullen writes a good story, he
really brings his characters to life and the endings are hard to
guess and never what you expected.'
