Who killed Charmian Karslake, the famous American actress, on the night of the ball at Hepton Abbey? Who was the mysterious Peter Hailsham who had been present at the ball and had since vanished into thin air? What was his connection, if any, with the respectable County family of Penn-Moreton at whose house the murder had taken place? How Inspector Stoddart and his assistant Harbord solve these questions, and the surprising discoveries they make in the course of their Investigations, form the basis for one of their most devilish mysteries.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. At what age does a lady become a legend?Lana Turner asked herself this question after decades of success, scandal, romance, marriage and motherhood, and not a little heartbreak. Long after the span of her extraordinary career, an adoring public remains fascinated by a woman who was arguably the epitome of a Hollywood movie star. Immensely talented and equally beautiful, Lana lived the glamorous life to the hilt, rising to the heights of fame and experiencing everything that came with it, both good and bad.Lana's early story is virtually that of Cinderella's: a girl discovered at a soda shop aged fifteen and then made a star overnight. From blonde bombshell to box-office queen of the '40s, Lana led a whirlwind life ultimately marked by eight marriages and a murder trial that made her and her daughter infamous.The death of Johnny Stompato in 1958 was one of the most notorious scandals in Hollywood history, and the true facts of the case are still hotly disputed.Lana's remarkable memoir was originally published in 1982. This new edition features an introduction by Turner Classic Movies host and author Alicia Malone.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. This one week's holiday was all that most of the audience could get, they were free for one week from food queues, housework and even, for many hours a day, the care of their children. It was a week of absolute rest, but everybody in the audience knew that outside the camp lay the hard, difficult world of 1946.The Corners and the Binns are show business families on the verge of dire straits due to lack of jobs in the postwar economy. But crisis is averted when they snag a summer gig performing a variety show at a holiday camp. It's not all smooth sailing, however. The Corners' daughter Dulcie is attractive and talented, but a bit of a diva, and when she sets her sights on the show's pianist and composer, Tom Pollard, gets not a flicker of response, then discovers that his focus is on Nella Binns, a dancer with real talent but no ability to put herself over, danger signs flash. The resulting drama, with a lush array of details about the perils of mounting a stage show, postwar life, and the lingering scars of war, is an irresistibly entertaining tale of family dynamics, ambition, and love.Poppies for England, first published in 1948, is the tenth of twelve charming, page-turning romances published under the pseudonym Susan Scarlett by none other than beloved children's author and novelist Noel Streatfeild. Out of print for decades, they were rediscovered by Greyladies Books in the early 2010s, and Dean Street Press and Furrowed Middlebrow are delighted now to make all twelve available to a wider audience.A writer who shows a rich experience in her writing and a charm Nottingham Journal.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The D.D.I. recognized him and smiled. That was a great case you brought us. You'll be interested to hear that it is a case of mur-r-der For eight years Basil Thomson headed the famous C.I.D., New Scotland Yard. He knew the Yard inside out. Now in this tale of mystery and detection we are taken behind the scenes. We are shown the greatest detection machine in the world in motion, and see how the Yard tracked down its man. Stand, then, with young P.C. Richardson on the misty corner of Baker Street, while the traffic of the city swings by, and fate lays at his feet the beginning of his career. Out of the fog brakes shriek, a big car jolts to a stop, and from beneath the wheels the crowd disentangles a bundle of old clothes, within which is a man quite dead; a man who had said to someone, Very well, then; I'll call a policeman--and was killed. Work with him to the ingenious solution, when he takes from his pocket the clue holding the fate of a human life. Richardson's First Case was originally published in 1933. This new edition, the first in over seventy years, features an introduction by crime novelist Martin Edwards, author of acclaimed genre history The Golden Age of Murder. The story is a good one, with enough mystery in it to keep the reader wondering. Daily Telegraph.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. It was curious that the aerial bombardment of London, which had ennobled so much that was normally sordid, should only debase a love affair between two people who had managed for three years to overcome the threat to their relations implicit in all such. To die together would be simple. It would not be so simple to be dug out still alive from the same collapsed building.Elizabeth Simpson is a secretary having an affair with her married boss. Her father is an air raid warden and her terrified mother takes her courage from concealed bottles of rum. Owen Cathcart, their neurotic teenage neighbour, slips out during night raids to watch the fireworks and collect souvenirs of shrapnel. And Bob Craven, a soldier Elizabeth uses as cover for her illicit romance, plans his taxi rides to see the most dramatic bomb damage.In this riveting drama of life during the Blitz, the extraordinary immediacy and vivid, intimate detail stem directly from the first-hand experiences of Barbara Noble, who lived and worked in London throughout the war. The result is a unique social document and an unforgettable reading experience.'The most satisfying picture yet of what life was like in London during those hectic months.' Times of India.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 'Take off your coat, ' said the doctor. I took it off. 'And your dress, ' he said. 'It's too dangerous - the folds may catch in the debris and bring the whole thing down.' I took off the dress. 'Fine, ' he said shortly. 'It'll have to be head first. We'll hold your thighs. Go down and see if it's possible to give an injection. Can you grip the torch with your teeth?' Frances Faviell lived in Chelsea before and during the London Blitz, having became a Red Cross volunteer when World War I began. Chelsea was particularly heavily bombed and the author was often in the heart of the action, witnessing or involved in fascinating and horrific events through 1940 and 1941. Her memoir evokes an unforgettable cast, Londoners and refugees alike, caught up together in extraordinarily dangerous times - not forgetting the 'Green Cat', a Chinese statuette, standing on the author's window sill as the home's talismanic protector. Frances Faviell's memoir is powerful in its blend of humour, tenderness and horror, including the most haunting ending of any wartime memoir. A Chelsea Concerto is reprinted now for the first time since 1959, with a new introduction by Virginia Nicholson. 'Irresistible reading. There could be no more graphic account of what one first-aid worker and her small party witnessed and did during the London Blitz . while characters are sketched in with a novelist's art, the impression left is one of stark truth.' Birmingham Post 'I am so happy that A Chelsea Concerto is back in print. It is a gem of a book, one of the best personal memoirs of W2 on the home front, written with an artist's eye for detail and immediacy.' Kate Atkinson.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Frances Field arrives in a scenic coastal village in Scotland, having escaped her aunt and uncle's dull London townhouse, where she is treated as little more than a servant. Here, she encounters an array of eccentric locals, the occasional roar of enemy planes overhead, and three army wives - Elise, Tommy and Tillie - who become fast friends. Elise warns Frances of the discomforts of military life, but she's inclined to disregard the advice when she meets the dashing Captain Guy Tarlatan - whose affections are elsewhere engaged. And there's the nearby spring, said to have strange powers; legend has it that anyone who drinks its water will be married within a year.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. It's in my mind to put an end to this heathen wickedness that's stalking abroad through Gillenham. It's in my mind to terrify that evil man from his morrow's sinful doings.We'll be going to Old Manor, then?Not yet, said Mrs. Pye grimly. We go first to the village. To rouse the women . . .Professor Pounce arrives in the idyllic village of Gillenham, along with his sister-in-law, his nephew Nicholas, and Carmen, his voluptuous assistant, in single-minded pursuit of the Stone of Chastity, a stepping stone in the local stream reputed to trip up impure women. His interest is cold-bloodedly scientific, but his researches, including putting the village women to the test and documenting the results, are taken rather more personally by some, including the Vicar's wife, who enlists the Boy Scouts to help suppress his efforts, and stern Mrs. Pye, possessed with the soul of an inquisitor. Ultimately, it's young Nicholas who must try to assuage the villagers' outrage, all the while coping with the repercussions of his own amorous impulses.The Stone of Chastity, first published in 1940 and inexplicably out of print for decades, is perhaps the deftest (and daftest) of Margery Sharp's many dazzling, witty social comedies.'Miss Margery Sharp's witticisms lift the otherwise flat and unprofitable life of the village of Gillenham to the level of a bubbling champagne-glass full of laughter' New York Times.…
