Sinopse

In 'Captain Dieppe,' Anthony Hope presents a riveting tale of adventure that intricately weaves themes of loyalty, honor, and the complexities of human relationships against the backdrop of a tumultuous political landscape. Written in Hope's characteristically engaging prose, the novel employs a blend of vivid imagery and sharp dialogue, capturing the tension and excitement of naval exploits during an unspecified yet evocative period. This literary piece fits within the genre of Victorian adventure fiction, reminiscent of Hope's earlier work, 'The Prisoner of Zenda,' while further exploring the moral dilemmas faced by its characters amid the turbulence of duty and passion. Anthony Hope, an English novelist and playwright, garnered popularity in the late 19th century for his ability to blend romanticism and adventure, with his works often reflecting the social and political climates of the time. His experiences in the legal profession and fascination with European history significantly influenced his writing, particularly in exploring themes of identity and allegiance. Hope's extensive travels and interactions with diverse cultures also contributed to the depth and authenticity evident in 'Captain Dieppe.' Readers seeking an enthralling narrative that probes the depths of personal sacrifice and national identity will find 'Captain Dieppe' to be a compelling addition to the adventure genre. The novel not only captivates with its action-driven plot but also invites reflection on the nuances of human nature, rendering it a worthy exploration for enthusiasts of both classic literature and modern psychological insight.

    It’s been hiding on Earth for millennia… 
    …but it was my job to hide it from you. If the American people knew what secrets lay beneath their feet, the U.S. government would have no way of controlling the paranoia that would ensue. 
    In Ancient Beacon, the second installment of The Palmdale Files, former agent Harold Anderson reveals the true story behind the discovery of a mysterious, terribly old, and not-of-this world relic found in a subterranean underwater cavern in New Mexico and the exceptional efforts the U.S. government went through to hide it. Ancient Beacon—also known as Event 348 Gamma—is the second in a series of forgotten and buried events the author once destroyed to protect the peace and security of the United States—events the government would rather hide forever. 
    The Palmdale Files share highlights from Harold Anderson's U.S. Air Force career, where he worked to defend the nation and the world from paranoid hysteria about unexplained phenomena and threats from above.

    There are no female publishing CEOs in 1960s New York. And that is exactly what savvy, ambitious Bernadette Swift plans to change. 
     
     
     
    Bernadette Swift, a young copyeditor at Lenox & Park Publishing, is determined to become the first female CEO in the publishing industry. But first she needs to take the next step up that ladder with a promotion that her boorish and sexist boss wants to thwart. Seeking a base of support, Bernadette joins a feminist women's book club at the New York Public Library, and soon, she's inspiring her fellow members to challenge the male gatekeepers and decades of ingrained sexism in their workplaces and pursue their personal and professional dreams. 
     
     
     
    And that is precisely what Bernedette does on a daily basis: keeps her eye on the prize—equality for women in the workplace, and a promotion—while fending off the ire of her boss and the sabotaging efforts of a jealous coworker. With the support of her book club buddies and a certain charismatic editor at Lenox & Park who has completely fallen for her, maybe, just maybe, Bernadette will prove able to claim victory for herself and the young women coming after her.

    The indefatigable Miss Phryne Fisher returns to solve what may be her most puzzling murder. 
     
    When Phryne Fisher is invited to Bendigo to witness the investiture of her old friend Lionel, who is being made a Bishop, her expectations of the solemn and dignified ceremony do not include a murder. 
     
    Phryne is soon working with perspicacious local Constable Watson and eagle-eyed Inspector Mick Kelly to identify the perpetrator. It becomes quickly apparent the murder victim had been an overzealous deacon with a nose for trouble. Nobody seems very inclined to mourn his passing. 
     
    Applying her quick wits and magnetic charm, Phryne and her expanding team of sleuths discover murky layers of church politics, social scandals and business scams and blackmail. Soon, various suspects begin to form a long list, all with excellent motives for killing the deacon. Could the murderer be his own wife? A visiting dignitary? The mysterious organist? The angelic Brookes? The unemployed teacher? And why is the Bishop's Court being burgled? 
     
    Meanwhile the clock is ticking ... Will Phryne be able to bring to light the proof she needs before the killer strikes again or disappears completely?
