Beschreibung

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: Arnold Bennett's style and the controversy with his contemporaries


Originally published in 1907, “The Ghost” was the first of many fantasy novels written by British writer Arnold Bennett. These works illustrated his ability to produce not only realistic novels, perfected in his portrayals of provincial English life set in the Staffordshire scenery of his childhood, but also more sensational stories, written after his move to London where he developed a far more cosmopolitan interest.

“The Ghost” tells the story of an attractive opera star, Rosetta Rosa, whose beauty seems to cast a spell upon all those who meet her. When Carl Foster, a young doctor, sees Rosa at a London opera, and is instantly captivated, he soon finds himself plagued by mysterious happenings, and begins to see a spectral figure everywhere he turns. When another man enraptured by Rosa mysteriously dies, Carl begins to wonder whether loving her could bring with it a deadly curse. Moving between London and Paris, this fast-paced story draws the reader into a ghostly world of twists, drama and suspense.

"Some killers leave behind clues. This one leaves behind a prophecy."  
Chicago is being haunted by a serial killer who doesn’t just take lives – they play a game. A game written in blood and fate. Each victim is left with a single Tarot card, a cryptic message that detective Audrey Holliday must decipher before the next murder. 
But just as she begins to understand the killer’s twisted logic, her own past is torn open with a revelation she never saw coming, a twin sister she never knew existed. 
Eve De la Gardie, a celebrated psychiatrist built a career on untangling the human mind. But when Audrey steps into her world, she starts to wonder: Are some bonds too deep to escape? And is it possible that the killer’s game isn’t about random victims at all… but about them? 
With the city gripped by fear and the next Tarot card waiting to be drawn, Audrey must face the truth: The Magician knows her better than she knows herself. And the final card? It won’t just predict the next victim – it will decide her fate. 
A psychological thriller that will keep you up all night. The question isn’t whether you’ll turn the first page – it’s whether you’ll dare to turn the last.

A Murderer on the Loose. 
A Detective Haunted by the Past. 
A Race Against Time. 
DCI Jonathan Walker is a senior detective for the Lancashire Constabulary in North West England. He’s haunted by events of the past and hell bent on redemption, if he can stay healthy for long enough that is. 
"A moody, enveloping crime thriller." (SPR Editorial Review) 
After a body turns up in the sleepy village of Rufford, Walker returns from his leave of absence early, his experience deemed crucial for the case. But when it transpires the crime may be linked to a decades old cold case involving the murder of his sister, the crime becomes personal: he needs this—for his wife and kids, to make amends for past mistakes, and for the current victim—but he must toe the line if he isn’t to be thrown off the case. 
When more people start to go missing and bodies turn up with the same bizarre signature, Walker and his team realise they have a serial killer on their hands. But time is running out if they want to save more people from dying, and one in particular, and Walker has to consider breaking the law himself to make things right, once and for all. 
Fans of Ian Rankin, JD Kirk, Matt Brolly, Patricia Gibney, and Michael Connelly will love this! 
The Icehouse is the stunning debut police procedural crime thriller from JJ Richards.
