Beschreibung

Inspector Littlejohn confronts a challenging case across the Channel in this classic mystery from the “venerable” British author (Kirkus Reviews).   When Alderman Dawson is stabbed to death while visiting the Riviera with a group of English tourists, Inspector Littlejohn puts his holiday on hold to assist the French police. But the suspects are plentiful. The culprit could be one of Dawson’s fellow travelers—or perhaps someone who encountered him years ago during World War II. While Littlejohn fends off complaints from the impatient members of the tour group and delves into potential motives, he can only hope that his investigation doesn’t go south along with his much-needed vacation. . . .   “One of the subtlest and wittiest practitioners of the simon-pure British detective story . . . his adroit ironic Inspector Littlejohn is one of the more popular members of the fictional C.I.D.” —The New York Times   “Mr. Bellairs always gives good value.” —The Sunday Times

    Edward Everett Hale’s The Man Without a Country is a poignant and patriotic short story that explores the devastating consequences of exile and the importance of national identity. The story follows Philip Nolan, a young army officer who, in a moment of reckless defiance, renounces his country during a treason trial. As punishment, he is sentenced to spend the rest of his life at sea, never again hearing mention of the United States. Over the years, Nolan comes to deeply regret his actions, realizing the true meaning of belonging and patriotism as he drifts from one ship to another, forever a man without a home. 
    Narrated by Burt Glendower, this audiobook brings to life Hale’s moving and thought-provoking tale, which remains a powerful meditation on loyalty, identity, and the profound connection between an individual and their homeland.

    One street, ten doors, who’s the killer? 
    The street that contains No.4 is a dark place, secrets linger and whispers of a murder haunt it. The residents have learnt to live with its sinister past, but when one of their own returns to hunt for the truth, their welcome is far from warm… 
    Fifteen years ago, 35-year-old Henry Carr vanished outside his parents' house on a run-down street in Manchester. 
    Today, a cold case podcast has brought the disappearance to international attention. 
    Now, a young journalist hopes that she might be able to get the locals to open up. After all, she was one of them. But returning won't be easy; there are many reasons why Ruth fled six years ago. 
    There’s minimal evidence, no body and a street in silence. Yet Henry’s elderly and dementia suffering mother, Marianne, appears haunted. She whispers and screams that her son was killed and buried on the street they call home. 
    With the anniversary of Henry’s disappearance fast approaching, Ruth has just days to uncover the truth of what happened to the man she once knew. The more Ruth learns, the more she comes to understand: 
    It might take a street to keep a secret, but it takes just one woman to set it free… 
    Ruth, the amateur sleuth, is determined to uncover the truth. As she navigates through the top secrets of the street, she realises that the fiction she once believed might be far from reality.
