Inscriptions reads 13 S 2003 To Joan, Very best wishes Anne Perry. Anne Perry (born Juliet Marion Hulme; 28 October 1938) is an English author of historical detective fiction, best known for her Thomas Pitt and William Monk series. In 1954, at the age of fifteen, she was convicted in the murder of her friend's mother, Honorah Rieper. She changed her name after serving a five-year sentence for Rieper's murder. She later settled in the Scottish village of Portmahomack where she lived with her mother. Her father had a distinguished scientific career, heading the British hydrogen bomb programme. Hulme took the name Anne Perry, using her stepfather's surname. Her first novel, The Cater Street Hangman, was published under this name in 1979. Her works generally fall into one of several categories of genre fiction, including historical murder mysteries and detective fiction. Many feature recurring characters, most importantly Thomas Pitt, who appeared in her first novel, and amnesiac private investigator William Monk, who first appeared in her 1990 novel The Face of a Stranger. By 2003 she had published 47 novels, and several collections of short stories. Her story "Heroes", which first appeared in the 1999 anthology Murder and Obsession, edited by Otto Penzler, won the 2001 Edgar Award for Best Short Story. In 2017, Anne Perry left Scotland and moved to Hollywood in order to more effectively promote films based on her novels. Through Anne Perry's magnificent Victorian novels, millions of readers have enjoyed the pleasures and intrigue of a bygone age. Now, with the debut of an extraordinary new series, this New York Times bestselling author sweeps us into the golden summer of 1914, a time of brief enchantment when English men and women basked in the security of wealth and power, even as the last weeks of their privileged world were swiftly passing. Theirs was a peace that led to war. On a sunny afternoon in late June, Cambridge professor Joseph Reavley is summoned from a student cricket match to learn that his parents have died in an automobile crash. Joseph's brother, Matthew, as officer in the Intelligence Service, reveals that their father had been en route to London to turn over to him a mysterious secret document, allegedly with the power to disgrace England forever and destroy the civilized world. A paper so damning that Joseph and Matthew dared mention it only to their restless younger sister. Now it has vanished. What has happened to this explosive document, if indeed it ever existed? How had it fallen into the hands of their father, a quiet countryman? Not even Matthew, with his Intelligence connections, can answer these questions. And Joseph is soon burdened with a second tragedy: the shocking murder of his most gifted student, beautiful Sebastian Allard, loved and admired by everyone. Or so it appeared. Meanwhile, England's seamless peace is cracking, as the distance between the murder of an Austrian archduke by a Serbian anarchist and the death of a brilliant university student by a bullet to the head of grows shorter by the day. Anne Perry is a sublime master of suspense. In No Graves As Yet, her latest haunting masterpiece, she reminds us that love and hate, cowardice and courage, good and evil are always a part of life, in our own time as well as on the eve of the greatest war the world has ever known.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. Sixth Printing [Stated]. 319, [1] pages. There is minor wear to the edges of the dust jacket. Inscribed by the author on the fep. The inscription reads "For Dave, Don Imus 1997". John Donald Imus Jr. (July 23, 1940 December 27, 2019), also known as Imus, was an American radio personality, television show host, recording artist, and author. His radio show Imus in the Morning was aired on various stations and digital platforms nationwide until 2018. In January 2018, Cumulus Media told Imus that the company was going to stop paying him, and his final show aired on March 29, 2018. He died the following year. After hearing a morning radio DJ at KUTY, in Palmdale, California, Imus went to the station and successfully persuaded the owner to hire him. He signed on the air on June 2, 1968. While at KUTY, Imus debuted his on-air character Billy Sol Hargis, a radio evangelist inspired by and named for preacher Billy James Hargis and businessman Billie Sol Estes. Imus was an instant success at the station; in two months, he had become number one in ratings for his time slot, and earned a Billboard Award for Air Personality of the Year. In July 1981, Imus released his first book, God's Other Son, a novel about the life of his on-air character Billy Sol Hargus that he wrote with McCord. It was republished in 1994 and spent seven weeks on The New York Times best seller list. By October 1981, Imus was the most popular radio DJ in the US, reaching 220,000 regular listeners and number one in 12 of 13 demographic categories. Imus is back -- by popular demand -- with the Second Greatest Story Ever Told, the hilarious novel about the most outrageous TV evangelist of them all -- Billy Sol Hargus. "God had two sons. Jesus was His first, and I, Billy Sol Hargus, am His second." Thus begins Don Imus's riotously funny story about the life and times of the lecherous, corrupt, hustling, huckstering television evangelist who claims to have a 2,000 year old brother named Jesus. From his backwoods Texas country-preacher roots, Billy Sol rose to dazzle the nation as a Superstar Minister -- preaching at sold-out stadiums and traveling across the country. Reverend Billy raked in the dough, the fame, and the women. And then it happened -- just like Amelia Earhart and Jimmy Hoffa, Billy Sol vanished one day into legend, disappearing from the face of the earth. But unlike anyone else in the Family, Billy kept a diary -- and now his tapes, believed lost, can finally be heard. Praise the Lord! Derived from a Kirkus review: Starting out as porno-farce and winding up as psycho-melodrama, Imus' satire on revival preachers is just plain funny. The narrator throughout is megalomaniac Billy Sol Hargus himself--who, though he disappeared 15 years ago (while trying to walk on water in Galilee), has left behind a series of autobiographical tapes: "For the first time ever, a Son of God is gonna tell His own story in His own words!" So Billy recalls his supposedly virgin birth in Texas. He recalls his foster-parents: cafe owner Elroy Hargus and wife Edna--Billy's seductive but pseudo-religious instructor in sex and sin. He remembers his ill-fated job as a forest ranger, his devotion to salty-wise neighbor Otis and Otis' chum Tyrone. And, above all, he remembers meeting up with shrewd revivalist Boone Moses, who takes in the young would-be preacher as his protege. Soon 21-year-old Billy is a bigger attraction than his mentor--with a glitzy radio show, swishy Madison Avenue promoters, a line of Hargus products, his own bank, etc. And so Billy gradually becomes sure that he really is the son of God--especially when his promoters come up with a scientific process that gives Billy the ability to walk on water. An obvious, loudly didactic scenario, then-- enlivened by Imus' good ear for down-home dialect. An on-target send-up of today's media-wise revivalists is entertaining, instructive, and effectively offensive. Robert Clark (Author photograph) (illustrator). …
