The Summons

Ray Atlee es un profesor de derecho en la Universidad de Virginia. Tiene cuarenta y tres años, y desde hace poco vuelve a estar soltero. Su padre, un hombre mayor y enfermo, vive solo en la casa familiar de Clanton, Mississippi. Era un juez temido y apreciado, alguien que ha estado por encima de la ley y la política local durante cuarenta años. Ahora casi se ha vuelto un recluso. Al ver de cerca su fin, el juez Atlee manda una citación a Ray. Quiere que vuelva a casa, a Clanton, para acordar los detalles de la herencia. Su hijo se encamina, reticente, hacia el sur, pero el encuentro no tiene lugar: el juez muere demasiado pronto. Con ello, deja tras de sí un secreto sorprendente que únicamente llegará a conocer Ray. Y quizá alguien más. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A pillar of the community who towered over local law and politics for forty years, Judge Atlee is now a shadow of his former self--a sick, lonely old man who has withdrawn to his sprawling ancestral home in Clanton, Mississippi. Knowing that the end is near, Judge Atlee has issued a summons for his two sons to return to Clanton to discuss his estate. Ray Atlee is the elder, a Virginia law professor, newly single, still enduring the aftershocks of a surprise divorce. Forrest is Ray's younger brother, the family's black sheep. The summons is typed by the Judge himself, on his handsome old stationery, and gives the date and time for Ray and Forrest to appear in his study. Ray reluctantly heads south to his hometown, to the place he now prefers to avoid. But the family meeting does not take place. The Judge dies too soon, and in doing so leaves behind a shocking secret known only to Ray . . . and perhaps to someone else.

A Certain Justice

It begins, dramatically enough, with a trial for murder. The distinguished criminal lawyer Venetia Aldridge is defending Garry Ashe on charges of having brutally killed his aunt. For Aldridge the trial is mainly a test of her courtroom skills, one more opportunity to succeed—and she does. But now murder is in the air. The next victim will be Aldridge herself, stabbed to death at her desk in her Chambers in the Middle Temple, a bloodstained wig on her head. Enter Commander Adam Dalgliesh and his team, whose struggle to investigate and understand the shocking events cannot halt the spiral into more horrors, more murders. . . . A Certain Justice is P.D. James at her strongest. In her first foray into the strange closed world of the Law Courts and the London legal community, she has created a fascinating tale of interwoven passion and terror. As each character leaps into unforgettable life, as each scene draws us forward into new complexities of plot, she proves yet again that no other writer can match her skill in combining the excitement of the classic detective story with the richness of a fine novel. In its subtle portrayal of morality and human behavior, A Certain Justice will stand alongside Devices and Desires and A Taste for Death as one of P.D. James's most important, accomplished and entertaining works.

Mystic river

El éxito de ventas de The New York Times, Mystic River, es un apasionante y perturbador thriller psicológico sobre los efectos de un salvaje asesinato en una cerrada comunidad de Boston. Aquel día de 1975, cuando un coche se detiene junto a ellos, Dave Boyle, Sean Devine y Jimmy Marcus son demasiado pequeños para imaginar que su destino va a cambiar de forma irremediable. Dos hombres que pretenden ser policías hacen subir a Dave al vehículo con el pretexto de llevarlo a su casa. El crío aparecerá cuatro días después, pero nunca llegará a saberse qué ha pasado durante ese tiempo. Veinticinco años más tarde, Sean trabaja como detective de homicidios, Jimmy es un expresidiario que regenta un pequeño comercio y Dave está intentando salvar su matrimonio mientras mantiene a raya a sus demonios, que lo impulsan a hacer cosas horribles. Cuando la hija de Jimmy, Katie, es terriblemente asesinada, los ecos del secuestro de Dave vuelven a sus vidas. La crítica ha dicho... «Lehane se aventura más allá de su aclamada serie de detectives privados con este desgarrador drama sobre los efectos de un salvaje asesinato sobre tres antiguos amigos, en la estrechamente unida comunidad de un barrio trabajador de Boston. La historia de Lehane golpea al lector con incómodas imágenes, un entorno hermosamente descrito y un inquietante final. Con su sexta novela, el autor sustituye las gráficas descripciones de crimen y violencia que encontramos en la serie de Patrick Kenzie y Angela Gennaro (Plegarias en la noche; Desapareció una noche) con una visión más introspectiva de los oscuros rincones de la vida. Es un cambio que da a sus temas (arrepentimiento de las decisiones tomadas, las huellas psicológicas de la infancia, compromiso personal y profesional) un contexto más rico y a sus personajes una más profunda exploración.» Publishers Weekly «Este conocido escritor es cada vez mejor, y esta intensa, inteligente e intrigante novela seguro que le ganará un montón de nuevos seguidores. De niños, Jimmy, Sean y Dave tienen un extraño tipo de amistad, nacida más de la proximidad geográfica que de verdadero afecto de los unos por los otros. Un cuarto de siglo más tarde, Sean es un oficial de policía de Boston, Jimmy un ex presidiario y Dave es... bueno, digamos solamente que tiene muchas cosas que esconder, incluida la verdad de algo que sucedió hace mucho tiempo. Cuando la hija de Jimmy es asesinada, los tres antiguos amigos se reúnen de nuevo, pero esta vez, al menos uno de ellos está atrapado por la autodestrucción. La creciente reputación de Lehane hse ha basado hasta ahora en su superlativa serie de Patrick Kenzie y Angela Gennaro. Con este libro se muestra igualmente soberbio fuera de la serie. Lehane pertenece al pequeño grupo de escritores de novela negra cuyos libros revelan una profunda fascinación por la gente, por sus motivaciones, sus conflictos íntimos y las sutiles cosas que hacen que los personajes estén vivos. Como sucede con los mejores escritores del género, cuando leemos a Lehane rara vez nos preocupamos de resolver el enigma. Sus personajes son demasiado absorbentes como para eso. Hay que dejar de hablar de Lehane como de una estrella emergente y reconocer que es uno de nuestros mejores escritores contemporáneos.» David Pitt, Booklist

The Skull Beneath the Skin

Invited to protect an actress within the rose red walls of a fairy-tale castle, Detective Cordelia Gray finds the stage is set for death in this "richly intricate and literate" (San Francisco Chronicle) mystery from the New York Times bestselling author of the Adam Dalgliesh series. Actress Clarissa Lisle has always been famous for her ravishing beauty—and her unscrupulous manipulations. Now on the death-shrouded island of Courcy, her schemes win her a starring role in a nightmare in which she can trust no one—not her deceived husband; her dangerously insecure stepson; her ominously genial host; her dependent, desperate cousin; or her cruelly amusing ex-lover. Soon Detective Cordelia gray finds that nothing is as it seems on Courcy—especially after the curtain goes down. Here she must delve into ancient secrets and guilt-stained pasts—and risk her life to stop a brilliantly cunning murderer who has set the stage for her death.

A Taste for Death

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • In this "treat for mystery lovers” (USA Today), the quiet Little Vestry of St. Matthew's Church becomes the blood-soaked scene of a double murder, and Scotland Yard Commander Adam Dalgliesh faces an intriguing conundrum. • Part of the bestselling mystery series that inspired Dalgliesh on Acorn TV “A first-rate detective novel, but it goes beyond that fine achievement to another realm…. An intricate, compassionate novel.” —The Boston Globe How did an upper-crust Minister come to lie, slit throat to slit throat, next to a neighborhood derelict of the lowest order? Challenged with the investigation of a crime that appears to have endless motives, Dalgliesh explores the sinister web spun around a half-burnt diary and a violet-eyed widow who is pregnant and full of malice—all the while hoping to fill the gap of logic that joined these two disparate men in bright red death....

A Blunt Instrument

Georgette Heyer's brilliant and highly acclaimed series of detective novels When Ernest Fletcher is found bludgeoned to death in his study, everyone is shocked and mystified: Ernest was well-liked and respected, so who would have a motive for killing him? Enter Superintendent Hannasyde who, with consummate skill, begins to uncover the complexities of Fletcher's life. It seems the real Fletcher was far from the gentleman he pretended to be. There is, in fact, no shortage of people who wanted him dead. Then, a second murder is committed, with striking similarities to the first, giving a grotesque twist to a very unusual case.

Mr. Mercedes

Bill Hodges es un policía jubilado. Brady Hartsfield es un asesino múltiple cuya culpabilidad Bill Hodges nunca logró demostrar. Ahora vuelven a encontrarse y cientos de vidas están en juego. ¿Quién es el cazador y quién la presa? Antes del amanecer, en una ciudad del medio-oeste, cientos de desempleados esperan la apertura de la oficina de empleo para solicitar uno de los mil puestos de trabajo que se han anunciado. Han hecho fila durante toda la noche. De repente, sin previo aviso, un Mercedes surge de la fría niebla de la madrugada y atropella a todos los que encuentra en su camino, retrocediendo y volviendo a arremeter contra ellos. El asesino huye dejando ocho muertos y quince heridos. Meses después, en otro rincón de la ciudad, Bill Hodges, un policía jubilado que sigue obsesionado con este caso sin resolver, recibe una carta anónima de quien se declara culpable de la masacre: Brady Hartsfield. Vive todavía con su madre alcohólica y disfrutó tanto de la sensación de la muerte bajo los neumáticos del Mercedes, que ahora quiere repetirlo. Hodges está decidido a evitar una nueva tragedia. Mr. Mercedes es una batalla entre el bien y el mal presentada por el maestro del suspense, cuya mirada al interior de la mente de este asesino demente es escalofriante e inolvidable. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION WINNER OF THE EDGAR AWARD FOR BEST NOVEL #1 New York Times bestseller! In a high-suspense race against time, three of the most unlikely heroes Stephen King has ever created try to stop a lone killer from blowing up thousands. “Mr. Mercedes is a rich, resonant, exceptionally readable accomplishment by a man who can write in whatever genre he chooses” (The Washington Post). In the frigid pre-dawn hours, in a distressed Midwestern city, desperate unemployed folks are lined up for a spot at a job fair. Without warning, a lone driver plows through the crowd in a stolen Mercedes, running over the innocent, backing up, and charging again. Eight people are killed; fifteen are wounded. The killer escapes. In another part of town, months later, a retired cop named Bill Hodges is still haunted by the unsolved crime. When he gets a crazed letter from someone who self-identifies as the “perk” and threatens an even more diabolical attack, Hodges wakes up from his depressed and vacant retirement, hell-bent on preventing another tragedy. Brady Hartsfield lives with his alcoholic mother in the house where he was born. He loved the feel of death under the wheels of the Mercedes, and he wants that rush again. Only Bill Hodges, with two new, unusual allies, can apprehend the killer before he strikes again. And they have no time to lose, because Brady’s next mission, if it succeeds, will kill or maim thousands. Mr. Mercedes is a war between good and evil, from the master of suspense whose insight into the mind of this obsessed, insane killer is chilling and unforgettable.

The Crime at Black Dudley (Albert Campion #1)

Classic Crime from the Golden Age, the first in the Albert Campion Series. Margery Allingham is J.K. Rowling's favourite Golden Age author. George Abbershaw is set for a social weekend at Black Dudley manor, hosted by Wyatt Petrie and his elderly uncle Colonel Combe, who enjoys the company of Bright Young Things. With Meggie Oliphant in attendance, George looks forward to the chance of getting closer to the girl he's set his heart on. But when murder spoils the party, the group soon find out that not only is there a killer in their midst, but the house is under the control of notorious criminals. Trapped and at their mercy, George must find a way to thwart their diabolical plans while getting himself and Meggie out alive. Luckily for Abbershaw, among the guests is Albert Campion – a garrulous and affable party-crasher with a great knack for solving mysteries and interrogating suspects. The Crime at Black Dudley, first published in 1929, is the first novel to introduce Margery Allingham's amiable and much loved sleuth – Albert Campion.

Player Piano

Kurt Vonnegut?s first novel Player Piano, published in 1952, heralded the beginning of one of the most diverting and provocative adventures in modern American fiction. Vonnegut went on to write novels that perhaps had greater formal skill and technique, but Player Piano is a tour de force of imaginative insight into modern life and a shrewd satire of American progress.

The cask

"One of the classics of modern crime fiction." — The New York Times While London dockworkers are struggling to unload a shipment of French wine, one of the heavy casks falls, shatters and reveals its cargo—sawdust, gold coins, and a female corpse. But by the time the police arrive, the barrel has vanished along with its macabre contents. Enter Inspector Burnley of Scotland Yard, who traces the cask to Paris, where he enlists the help of detective M. Lefarge of the Sûreté. Together, they hunt for the identity of the anonymous victim and her devious killer, traversing a maze of clues, alibis, red herrings, and lies. This top-notch procedural, along with Agatha Christie's first novel, marked the start of the golden age of the detective story. Freeman Wills Crofts, one of the "Big Four" mystery writers of the era, provides fascinating insights into early twentieth-century methods of murder investigation as well as atmospheric glimpses of the shipping business in London and Paris in the years after World War I.

Gone, Baby, Gone

Boston private investigators Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro are hired to find four-year-old Amanda McCready. Despite extensive news coverage and dogged investigation into her abduction, the police have uncovered nothing. The case is rife with oddities: Amanda's indifferent mother, a couple with a history of paedophilia and a shadowy police unit. As the Indian summer fades, Amanda McCready stays gone - vanished so completely that she seems never to have existed. When a second child disappears, Kenzie and Gennaro face a local media more interested in sensationalizing the abductions than helping to solve them, a local police force seething with lethal secrets, and a faceless power determined to obstruct their efforts. Caught in a deadly tangle of lies, and determined to unravel the riddle that is anything but child's play, they soon discover that those who go looking for the missing may not come back alive.

Dope

A talented young actress becomes fatally ensnared in London's mysterious and glittery drug culture of the early 20th century. Trina Robbins' comic book adaptation of Sax Rohmer's sensational 1919 novel. DOPE was both the first novel to speak openly about the world's international drug trade, and the first story to center around the death of a celebrity by drug overdose. As for the art, it is considered by many (including Trina herself) to be her best work ever as an illustrator.

Mannen som gick upp i rök

The masterful second novel in the Martin Beck series of mysteries by the internationally renowned crime writing duo, Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö, finds Beck searching Budapest for a well-known Swedish journalist who has disappeared without a trace. With an introduction by Val McDermid: "So many of the elements that have become integral...in the police procedural subgenre started life in these ten novels....Their plots are second to none." Inspector Martin Beck of the Stockholm Homicide Squad has his summer vacation abruptly terminated when the top brass at the foreign office pack him off to Budapest to search for Alf Matsson, a well-known Swedish journalist who has vanished. Beck investigates viperous Eastern European underworld figures and--at the risk of his life--stumbles upon the international racket in which Matsson was involved. With the coolly efficient local police on his side and a predatory nymphet on his tail, Beck pursues a case whose international implications grow with each new clue.

The Murder Room

THE MULTIMILLION-COPY BESTSELLING ADAM DALGLIESH SERIES FROM THE 'QUEEN OF ENGLISH CRIME' ( Guardian) 'A legend.' VAL MCDERMID 'P. D. James took the classic crime novel and turned up the dial.' MICK HERRON 'Does everything a crime novel should - and then a whole lot more.' DAILY MAIL PERFECT FOR FANS OF VAL MCDERMID, RUTH RENDELL AND ELLY GRIFFITHS __________________________________________________________________________________ Murder, the unique crime, is a paradigm of its age. The murder room of the Dupayne Museum is full of curiosities: photographs of crime scenes, news clippings about famous murders, and even some items belonging to killers and their victims. But then, one of the museum trustees is killed - in a manner strikingly reminiscent of one of its exhibits. Commander Adam Dalgliesh soon discovers that the victim was seeking to close the museum, and everyone there has something to gain from the crime. But when a second murder is committed, again replicating one of the murder room's real-life crimes, Dalgliesh knows he must get into the mind of a ruthless killer in order to solve this case - before there are any more deaths. __________________________________________________________________________________ 'Genuinely chilling . . . a delight.' OBSERVER 'P. D. James at her best . . . The reader needs to keep their wits about them.' 5* reader review 'Ingenious puzzle with an enthralling climax. One of the best in this superior series, with an even more agonizing finale than most.' 5* reader review **Now a major Channel 5 series** __________________________________________________________________________________ READERS LOVE THE ADAM DALGLEISH SERIES: 'Adam Dalgleish is one of the best characters in modern detective fiction.' 5* reader review 'If you are not already an Adam Dalgliesh fan, I urge you to become one . . . James can describe a scene or delineate a character with precision and depth, like no other writer I have read . . . I usually stay up all night to read a P. D. James novel once I start one.' 5* reader review 'I would never give less than 5 stars to any P. D. James book. She is one of a kind, always constant, always wonderful writing, always great characters, and always a good mystery that you cannot put down.' 5* reader review 'P.D. James writes mysteries for ordinary people. Her characters are relatable and her hero is dynamic. But don't expect cell phones or computers. Her stories are strictly old school, which is what I love about them.' 5* reader review 'Crime writing at its very best!' 5* reader review PRAISE FOR P. D. JAMES: 'P. D. James is the crème de la crème of crime writers. Her books are shrewd puzzles, full of wit and depth.' IAN RANKIN 'Nobody can put the reader in the eye of the storm quite like P. D. James.' SUNDAY EXPRESS 'One of the literary greats. Her sense of place was exquisite, characterisation and plotting unrivalled.' MARI HANNAH 'James manages a depth and intelligence that few in her trade can match.' THE TIMES 'There are very few thriller writers who can compete with P. D. James at her best.'

James is writing in full mastery of her craft.”—The New York Times Book Review Commander Adam Dalgliesh and his team are confronted with a puzzle of impenetrable complexity. A murder has taken place in the offices of the Peverell Press, a venerable London publishing house located in a dramatic mock-Venetian palace on the Thames. The victim is Gerard Etienne, the brilliant but ruthless new managing director, who had vowed to restore the firm's fortunes. Etienne was clearly a man with enemies—a discarded mistress, a rejected and humiliated author, and rebellious colleagues, one of who apparently killed herself a short time earlier. Yet Etienne's death, which occurred under bizarre circumstances, is for Dalgliesh only the beginning of the mystery, as he desperately pursues the search for a killer prepared to strike and strike again.

We Have Always Lived in the Castle

Enam tahun lalu, semangkuk gula yang dibubuhi racun arsenik menewaskan seluruh anggota keluarga Blackwood kecuali dua orang putri, Constance dan Merricat, serta paman mereka, Julian. Constance, sang putri tertua, lolos dari tuduhan pembunuhan, tapi para penduduk desa tak percaya dan mengucilkan keluarga ini. Dua bersaudari dan sang paman pun hidup dalam isolasi dan kesendirian. Suatu hari datanglah seorang pria bernama Charles yang mengaku sebagai sepupu jauh. Dengan pesona dan karismanya, Charles menjalin keakraban dengan Constance dan Paman Julian. Hanya Merricat yang tetap menjaga jarak dan curiga bahwa dibalik senyum manisnya, Charles hanya ingin menguasai harta keluarga Blackwood. Tapi bagaimana Merricat bisa menyadarkan kakak dan pamannya yang sudah terpesona oleh Charles? Merricat bertekad untuk mengusir Charles meski risikonya adalah Merricat sendiri yang akan tersingkir dari kediaman Blackwood. Setelah The Haunting of Hill House, Qanita mempersembahkan We Have Always Live in the Castle, satu lagi horror thriller dari penulis klasik Shirley Jackson, Ratu Horor Gothik Amerika yang telah memengaruhi banyak penulis modern Amerika, termasuk Neil Gaiman dan Stephen King. Membawa pembaca dalam labirin gelap jiwa, We Have Always Lived in the Castle mengisahkan tentang penyimpangan, isolasi, niat membunuh dan perjuangan untuk keluar dari lingkaran setan tak berkesudahan, tak heran apabila buku ini terpilih sebagai salah satu dari sepuluh novel terbaik versi majalah Time. Setelah diadaptasi menjadi pertunjukan drama pada 1966, kini novel ini akan diangkat ke layar lebar dan dibintangi oleh Sebastian Stan, Taissa Farmiga, Alexandra Daddario, dan Crispin Glover.

Fantômas

Una amenaza sobrevuela París. Una figura sombría, espectral, capaz de cometer las peores villanías que se puedan imaginar. Un hombre sin identidad, con la pericia de convertirse en cualquiera; un maestro del disfraz, del robo, del secuestro, del chantaje, de la suplantación de identidades y del asesinato. Fantomas es, probablemente, el primer «supervillano» de la historia tal y como conocemos actualmente la denominación, el que siguió la estela de Arséne Lupin (creado por Maurice Leblanc seis años antes) pero llevándolo más lejos. Porque, aun siguiendo la estela de Arséne Lupin, desde el momento de su publicación, en febrero de 1911, Fantomas (y las treinta y una novelas en torno al personaje que rápidamente aparecieron) se convirtió en un fenómeno de masas, cuya popularidad trascendió todos los estratos sociales y culturales. Años más tarde, las películas de Louis Feuillade acabaron de encumbrar las hazañas del «rey de la noche» y de sus implacables enemigos, el inspector Juve y el periodista Jérôme Fandor. Y, hoy, al fin, podemos volver a leerlas y a disfrutar de ellas.

The Last Juror

Un nuevo bestseller del maestro del thriller judicial. Clanton, Mississippi, 1970. El joven Willie Traynor llega a la ciudad montado en un Triumph Spitfire y armado de ambición. Al poco tiempo se convierte en el propietario del único periódico local, conocido por sus cuidadas necrológicas. Mientras el país vive sumergido en la confusión causada por la guerra del Vietnam, la lucha racial y el abandono de unos valores caducos, Willie vive aislado. Su vida da un giro cuando una joven madre es asesinada, y él es el único que se atreve a documentar los hechos... Pero jamás podrá olvidar la cara del asesino, que juró vengarse tras ser sentenciado a cadena perpetua. El autor del crimen fue Danny Padgitt, miembro de una poderosa familia conocida por sus negocios turbios. Ahora, nueve años más tarde, es liberado gracias a la influencia de su familia y a un sistema legal corrompido. Es peligroso y soberbio. Y no ha olvidado. El día más temido por aquellos que formaron parte del jurado ha llegado: ¿cumplirá Danny su palabra? La crítica ha dicho... «De lectura compulsiva... sincero, sabio, intrigante y divertido. Uno de los mejores Grisham.» Publishers Weekly «Grisham merece un buen veredicto para este thriller.» The Boston Globe

Weep No More, My Lady

New York Times bestselling author and Queen of Suspense Mary Higgins Clark’s masterpiece is a “crackling tale of menace and love that holds your attention to the last page” (Andrew M. Greeley). Elizabeth Lange has arrived at Cypress Point Spa in Pebble Beach, California, weary of heart and soul. Still grieving for her beloved sister, a famous actress who plunged to her death from her Manhattan penthouse, Elizabeth is determined to unearth the truth about how Leila died. Dashing multimillionaire Ted Winters stands accused of her murder, but Elizabeth has doubts. Along the windswept cliffs of the Monterey coast, in luxurious bungalows, between gourmet meals and beachfront walks, uneasiness stalks Elizabeth while she begins opening doors to the past. As glimpses of the dark truth about Leila’s life and death—and about Elizabeth herself—start to crash against her mind, an ominous wave from an unexpected source threatens to engulf her entirely.

Death in a White Tie

A high-society homicide is the talk of the London season . . .“Marsh’s writing is a pleasure.” —The Seattle Times It’s debutante season in London, and that means giggles and tea-dances, white dresses and inappropriate romances . . ..and much too much champagne. And, apparently, a blackmailer, which is where Inspector Roderick Alleyn comes in. The social whirl is decidedly not Alleyn’s environment, so he brings in an assistant in the form of Lord “Bunchy” Gospell, everybody’s favorite uncle. Bunchy is more than lovable; he’s also got some serious sleuthing skills. But before he can unmask the blackmailer, a murder is announced. And everyone suddenly stops giggling . . . “It’s time to start comparing Christie to Marsh instead of the other way around.” —New York Magazine “[Her] writing style and vivid characters and settings made her a mystery novelist of world renown.” —The New York Times

The Quest of the Sacred Slipper

This juicy tale from Sax Rohmer, the British author who introduced the criminal genius Dr. Fu Manchu to the world, follows an elite group of Muslim assassins who are given the mission of exacting vengeance on those responsible for absconding with one of Islam's most holy relics--an intricately decorated slipper purported to have belonged to Muhammad himself.

Stone Kiss

When a Manhattan rabbi is brutally murdered, an LAPD officer and his wife begin a dangerous mission to save a young girl from kidnapping -- and investigate a deadly new case that puts them both at great peril. Rina Lazarus has some shocking news for her husband, LAPD Lieutenant Peter Decker. A horrible murder has occurred in the family of his half-brother, Rabbi Jonathan Levin. The rabbi's brother-in-law was found slain in a seedy hotel room in upper Manhattan, and the victim's 15-year-old niece, with whom he was spending the day, is missing. Decker, with Rina at his side, immediately heads out to New York to assist in the investigation. But what starts out as simple inquiries soon evolves into a twisted and perilous journey -- from the darkened slums of New Jersey and the deserted industrial streets of New York to the recesses of sexual perversity and the hidden meeting places of Hasidic outcasts. Thrust into a deadly maze of deceit, lies, and danger, the couple can no longer trust anyone -- friend or family. And when salvation is finally within Decker's grasp, it can only be delivered by a depraved lone wolf, hell-bent on his own personal vengeance.

Jezebel's Daughter

Based on a 1858 play called "Red Vial", Collins' "Jezebel's Daughter" is a tale of mystery, betrayal, and misguided trust revolving around Mrs. Fontaine, a nefarious widow who employs her late husband's poisons and remedies to manipulate those around her. A thrilling and engaging novel with obvious parallels to modern detective fiction, this book is recommended for fans of such literature, and it constitutes a must-have for collectors of Collins' work. Many antiquarian books like this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing "Jezebel's Daughter" now in an affordable, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
