Madison Marie Welsh, a stunning African-American heiress, spends
the day with Damon sashaying around in a beautifully put-together
ensemble, wondering when the festivities will begin. She expects to
see a party waiting behind every door, and at the restaurant, she
eats her chocolate souffle with caution, just in case she chokes on
a hidden Tacori diamond engagement ring. She and Damon have been
dating for two years now. Fifteen hours later, no impromptu party,
no birthday card, and worst of all, no proposal. Meanwhile, Damon
is fast asleep in his king-sized sleigh bed, totally unaware he
dropped the ball, big time. Catering to his every need, Madison
hasn't seen her family, friends, or even her own home in weeks.
Doesn't she deserve more than this? After throwing on her clothes,
she grabs her handbag and Casper, her Persian cat, and walks out
the door. As she speeds up Interstate 75 in her Maserati Gran
Turismo, Madison realizes her whole life revolved around Damon.
It's time to indulge in a bucketful of Ben and Jerry's ice cream,
eat breakfast in Barcelona, visit Dubai for some retail therapy,
and then fly to Paris in her monogrammed Gulfstream G650. However,
money can't buy her love. Will she ever find Mr. Right? Set in a
world of glitz, glamour, and style, The Sweetest Peach by Michelle
Arlene also features Rachel, Nikki, and Ashley, a fun-loving cast
of characters determined to help their friend on her journey of
self-discovery. Humorous and lighthearted, this novel is a great
beach read, and will appeal to women from all walks of life.
Additional Contributing Authors Include Aldous Huxley, Richard
Hughes, Osbert Sitwell, And Many Others.
"It belongs to those short, perfect books that are rarely written
in English." - "Evening Standard"
" T]his extremely odd performance is indicative of great power." -
Gerald Gould, "The Observer"
" A] right intriguing comedy and mystery. As entertainment during
your insomnia, it is earnestly recommended." - "Milwaukee Journal"
" A] perfect masterpiece of hair-raising horror. It may offend
some of its readers, but it will not bore them." - "Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette"
A female killer stalks the streets of London, sleeping with young
men before slashing their throats and mutilating their bodies. The
crimes have baffled the police and enraged Londoners, who demand
the murderer's arrest. Mary, Duchess of Dove, a gentle young widow
who is beloved by all who know her, seems an unlikely suspect, but
the clues all point to her. The police have a variety of theories -
perhaps the Duchess has been hypnotized or drugged, maybe she has
an evil double, or could it be a Communist plot to discredit the
peerage? Inspector Basil Icelin is determined to solve the mystery,
but the true explanation is far more shocking and terrifying than
anyone could ever imagine.
Michael Arlen (1895-1956) became a rich and world-famous celebrity
after the publication of his bestseller "The Green Hat" in 1924.
"Hell said the Duchess" (1934) is a delightfully bizarre book,
telling a "bedtime story" in a light, humorous style that contrasts
oddly with its gruesome and horrific subject matter. This
first-ever reprinting of what Karl Edward Wagner has called the
best supernatural horror novel ever written includes an
introduction by Mark Valentine.
