Sinossi

Jake Reynolds is an art thief. Perhaps the greatest, luckiest art thief ever. He steals rare paintings and replaces them with forgeries so exact that nobody can tell the difference.
 
It's 1915 and WW1 rages across Europe. After finding the owner of an unknown Rembrandt killed in his own mansion, Jake cannot let it go; a quirk of his personality refuses him to allow anyone to get away with murder.
 
The problem? How can he find the vicious killers and bring them to justice without revealing his own felonious act.
 
A historical mystery set in early 20th century Europe, DEATH OF A CUCKOLD KNIGHT is the second book in B.R. Stateham's Jake Reynolds Mysteries series.
Disponibile da: 14/11/2023.

Now scandal is looming once more, and echoes of the past bring haunting memories of unsolved murders… and a baby born out of wedlock.

    A priceless relic, a strangled assistant, and a baffling locked-room murder. The search for the Green Mummy has begun... 
    Eccentric archaeologist Professor Braddock desires one thing above all else: an incredibly rare Peruvian mummy swathed in brilliant green bandages. Determined to study its ancient secrets, he sends his ambitious young assistant, Sidney Bolton, to Malta to acquire it. But when the massive shipping crate finally arrives at Braddock’s secluded countryside estate, the professor tears it open only to make a horrifying discovery. The priceless relic is gone. In its place lies the rigid, strangled corpse of Sidney himself! 
    Thus begins a gripping tale of stolen antiquities, secret lovers, and shadowy maritime figures. As Inspector Date and local amateur sleuths dive into the bizarre puzzle, they must retrace Sidney’s final night at a seedy dockside tavern. How could the murderer swap a heavy mummy for a human body in a locked room? Where is the cursed artifact now? From the genius of the professor to the cryptic clues of a rough American sea captain, everyone is a suspect, and no one’s motives are pure. 
    Why you will love this: If you crave a vintage Mystery laced with clever twists, you will be utterly captivated by this tale. Masterfully combining elements of the traditional whodunit, an ingenious locked room mystery, and classic amateur sleuth tropes, this gripping historical detective story delivers suspense at every turn. Fans of classic golden age investigations and sinister English village mysteries will adore the race to uncover the truth.

    A moody, rain-swept mystery from Georges Simenon that unfolds in a border town haunted by floods and deep secrets.  In The Flemish House, Maigret arrives in the rainy, flood-prone town of Givet on the Belgian border to solve the case of a missing young woman. He has been hired by the wealthy Peeters family, who are suspected of being responsible, to clear their name. As he plumbs the mysteries, prejudices, and hidden dramas of this town caught between two worlds, he has to decide whether there was foul play involved in the vanishing of the young woman, or if she has simply been chased away by the oppressive air of this benighted and fraught no-man’s-land. As he investigates, he finds himself becoming increasingly fascinated by Anna Peeters, the daughter of the family, who, stoic and unemotional, seems to be the linchpin in the strange compact that keeps the family together.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
