Murder in Paris - The gripping wartime mystery series

Christina Koning

Sinossi

Paris, 1945. Frederick Rowlands arrives in a city riven by the political turmoil following the Liberation at the behest of MI5 agent, Iris Barnes. A young woman calling herself Clara Metzner has just been released from Ravensbrück concentration camp - and Rowlands, who last met her in Berlin in 1933, has been given the task of confirming whether she is who she says she is. This is far from easy, not only because of Rowlands' blindness, but because Clara's experiences have changed her almost out of recognition. But her evidence may be vital in assisting Iris to track down suspected collaborators in the upper echelons of French society.

Then Clara - or the girl who is claiming to be her - is found dead, in circumstances that point to murder. Thrown into the unfamiliar world of Parisian high society, Rowlands must track down the killer, and prevent further deaths - including his own.

Sign of the Four The - A...

Sir Aarthur Conan Doyl

"The Sign of the Four" is the thrilling follow-up to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's premiere novel, "A Study in Scarlet" in which he introduced the world's first consulting detective, the legendary and brilliant Sherlock Holmes.    In this tale, young Mary Marston seeks out Holmes' assistance in unraveling a strange mystery: ten years earlier, her father - a Captain in the army - went missing after arriving back in London after a long overseas posting. Four years after her father's disappearance, Mary received a gift via post: a large and valuable pearl, a bequest that would be repeated annually for six years. The last pearl, however, arrived with an invitation for Mary to meet with her mysterious benefactor, claiming that Mary had somehow been "wronged," prompting Mary to seek Holmes' advice.  Holmes takes the case and embarks on an adventure involving hidden treasure, betrayal, revenge...and a miniature, poison-dart shooting assassin! (This is also the story wherein Dr. Watson, Holmes' faithful companion, falls in love with Ms. Morstan and they agree to marry, much to Holmes' chagrin.)  "The Sign of the Four" is one of the most revered and exciting tales in the Holmes canon and is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
