Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A harmless English ex-pat retiree is strangled in his rural cottage. In this second of the Inspector Minogue series, Arthur Combs is found murdered, the life choked out of him by a rope around his neck and a knee between his shoulder-blades. The method is obvious, but the motive is far less evident. As an English expatriate retiree in Dublin, the decrepit seventy-three year old Combs lived a solitary existence with few friends, but no enemies. Or so it seems when Sergeant Minogue is assigned to the case. As the investigation gathers momentum, however, it is soon clear that this 'terrible ordinary man' is of extraordinary importance to British Intelligence. London's MI5 Security Service is terrified about secrets Combs knew and threatened to reveal, secrets that could spark a major scandal and derail top-level talks between Britain and Ireland. When MI5 tries to put a lid on the Combs affair, they underestimate the tenacity of the unorthodox Minogue. Even if it means going up against the Prime Minister, Minogue is determined to discover what Britain's spy masters are doing in Dublin. 'Dublin's answer to Maigret - a handsomely written, dark journey into Irish politics. Brady is a master of the telling detail.' - Kirkus Reviews (U.S.) 'A non-generic political novel rich in substance and raw with pain.' - New York Times.…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. John Brady, editor of Writer's Digest and himself an accomplished interviewer, has put together an indispensable guide to the art of questioning. In a lively, down-to-earth manner, The Craft of Interviewing covers all aspects of the interview process -- getting the interview, doing research, handling the subject face-to-face, hurdling hazards, getting tough, taking notes (on the sly, if need be), taping, dealing with off-the-record types, concluding the interview, verifying it, and writing it up. Brady has also filled the book with a myriad of anecdotes revealing the experiences of some of the best known interviewers of our times. A noteworthy appendix on the history of the interview is included.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. The body on the beach was that of a young man. he had been shot in the head at close range. Professionally. In the third of the Inspector Minogue series, a body washed up on a beach is the son of a prominent Irish family - but there is a catch: 'He's one of our own all right, but a Jew nonetheless.' Paul Fine was the son of a prominent judge whose family had lived in Dublin for generations and who had played a key role in the city's small, complex Jewish community. The evidence seems to point to a Palestinian-linked organization, but dogged and fascinating detective work, and an unexpected second murder, lead the Murder Squad in a wholly new direction. Minogue has uncovered an extremist sect, one which has political ambitions and, just as ominous, police and government connections. As he unravels the enigma of these murders, Minogue finds himself understanding something of the Jews of Dublin, people who feel bound to Ireland and yet remain outsiders. 'Matt Minogue, the magnetic centre of this superb series. and Brady's tone of battered lyricism are the music which keep drawing us back to this haunting series.' - New York Times.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. The love story of Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner has been told piecemeal, from one side or the other, but has never been fully explored or explained, until now. The story begins in Hollywood's golden age when Ava, ever insecure, was emerging as a movie star. But she fell in (and out of) love too easily. Mickey Rooney married her as a conquest. Artie Shaw treated her like a dumb brunette. Neither marriage lasted a year. Then, after being courted by Howard Hughes and others, along came Sinatra, who was battling his own insecurities. MGM fired him, his record company dropped him, and no one seemed to want him, except Ava. Their encounter led to an affair that broke all the rules of the prudish era. Frank was married with children. Their reputations could be ruined if this got out and it did, as Frank left his family and pursued Ava across Europe while she taunted him. They married, but then came quarrels, separations, and reconciliations. Finally, there was a divorce, but even afterwards their long, hot, messy, glorious, painful romance stretched right to the finish line. Thoroughly researched and reported, Frank & Ava is not another storybook version of a Hollywood romance but a compelling drama of love and emotional war that left two iconic celebrities wounded for life.…
