Sinossi

In 'The Red House Mystery,' A. A. Milne, best known for his beloved children's tales about Winnie-the-Pooh, delves into the realm of adult fiction with a masterfully crafted whodunit. Set in a solitary country house, the novel intricately weaves a plot around the murder of the enigmatic owner, leading the reader through a maze of clues, red herrings, and unexpected twists. With its elegant prose and clever dialogue, Milne captures the essence of classic detective fiction while imbuing it with a unique charm and wit that sets it apart from contemporaries of the genre. A. A. Milne's literary journey began with his work as a playwright and novelist, but his transition to the genre of mystery can be attributed to his fascination with the challenge of creating intricate plots and vivid characters. His experiences during World War I and his observations of human nature undoubtedly shaped his perspective on the complexities of crime and morality, enriching the narrative depth in 'The Red House Mystery.' This engaging mystery novel is highly recommended for readers who appreciate a well-constructed plot infused with humor and intelligence. Fans of detective fiction and those new to the genre will find Milne's storytelling both delightful and intellectually stimulating, making 'The Red House Mystery' a timeless read that continues to captivate audiences.

    Sebastian was a man so heinous that mothers would invoke his name to scare their children.  
    Guilty of unspeakable crimes during the Holy War, he set out to eradicate the churches in the name of the king in the House of Maine. 
    Merciless, unforgiving, and utterly cruel, he was the epitome of evil. 
    When it was believed that he had died on the final day of that war, humanity breathed a sigh of relief. 
    The House of Maine gave him an honored funeral, and he lies at rest in his grave. 
    Or does he? 
    Back from the dead after fifteen years, Sebastian is no longer the man everyone once knew. Few people believe his claims that he is now a priest serving the goddess of justice, who has condemned him to eternal damnation for sins he can never make up for. 
    But that will not stop him. 
    As war rises once more in the land of Ithia, the Bastard of Jilrir now turns his sword against those he once called friends to save the lives of the innocent.

    “We couldn’t care less about what a tiny minority of people think they know. We own the media, we own the courts. Hell, we own the whole bloody system, everything. There’s no stopping what we’re doing, Terry. Surely you’ve understood that by now.”Just days after Carl Palmer introduces his new girlfriend to his cousin Terry at a family get-together, where he reveals explosive information he has discovered about the pandemic and the vaccines, he disappears into thin air. This forces Terry to delve into the world of ‘conspiracy theories’ and uncover the truth behind his cousin’s disappearance, all the while undergoing a soul-searching journey of his own.Exploring the themes of self-empowerment, anti-conformity and loss of innocence, Fangs of Deception is a gripping psychological thriller that offers a dystopian vision of a world in which both the mainstream media and world governments are pawns in a nefarious globalist plan for humanity.
