Synopsis

Lord Peter Wimsey goes undercover at an ad agency to find out who pitched a copywriter down a flight of stairs—“Delightful reading” (The New York Times). The iron staircase at Pym’s Publicity is a deathtrap, and no one in the advertising agency is surprised when Victor Dean tumbles down it, cracking his skull along the way. Dean’s replacement arrives just a few days later—a green copywriter named Death Bredon. Though he displays a surprising talent for the business of selling margarine, alarm clocks, and nerve tonics, Bredon is not really there to write copy. In fact, he is really Lord Peter Wimsey, and he has come to Pym’s in search of the man who pushed Dean.   As he tries to navigate the cutthroat world of London advertising, Lord Peter uncovers a mystery that touches on catapults, cocaine, and cricket. But how does one uncover a murderer in a business where it pays to have no soul?  Murder Must Advertise is the 10th book in the Lord Peter Wimsey Mysteries, but you may enjoy the series by reading the books in any order.  This ebook features an illustrated biography of Dorothy L. Sayers including rare images from the Marion E. Wade Center at Wheaton College.

    Two books in one box. Willow Rose's I Am Wolf and Song for a Gypsy. Both are part of the Wolfboy Chronicles, the story of the life of Sami the Wolfboy. Originally he was just one of the characters in Song for a Gypsy but later his story was told in I Am Wolf. I Am Wolf: They call me Wolfboy. Of that very simple reason that I am part-wolf, part-boy. I'm not immortal as many people might think, but I will live longer than most. Thousands of years longer. I am immune to all diseases, I am stronger than most other beings on this planet, and I have lived through many wars and sustained much pain in my life that no human could ever do. I heal easily, but I do get hurt. I have. Up until this day, I've never told anyone how I became who or what I am. This is my story. I Am Wolf is a paranormal thriller with some violence and sexual situations recommended for ages 16 and up. Song for a Gypsy: Sara's life is drastically changed the moment a convoy of horse-drawn caravans enters the quiet Reidenburgerstrasse, where she lives with the people she thinks are her parents. Sara doesn't know that her parents found her in a basket on their doorstep 13 years earlier. Neither does she know that she is a gypsy or that she is going to be the greatest sorceress who has ever lived. Soon, Sara will discover a magical world she never knew existed and go on a journey that she knows will cost her dearly. In Song for a Gypsy, we meet Sami the Wolfboy for the first time.
