In "March Hares," Harold Frederic intricately weaves a narrative that explores the complexities of human relationships against the backdrop of a burgeoning 19th-century America. This novel juxtaposes pastoral tranquility with the tumult of contemporary societal changes, utilizing a lyrical prose style that reflects Frederic's keen observations and sharp wit. The story is rich with symbolism and character studies, capturing the essence of a generation grappling with its identity amid rapid industrialization and shifting social mores. As the characters navigate love, ambition, and disillusionment, Frederic deftly comments on the tensions between tradition and modernity. Harold Frederic, a prominent figure in the literary scene of his time, drew inspiration from his own experiences in both England and America.

    Evil Returns to San Francisco–and This Time, the Dead Won’t Stay Buried 
    When Senator George Hearst taps Neville Stryker for another off-the-books job, it leads him straight to the gutted remains of the Mark Hopkins Mansion—once a crown jewel of Nob Hill, now a crime scene soaked in silence. The tenants, the Bosworth family, have vanished, their blood staining the marble, their bodies nowhere to be found. Locals whisper the place is cursed. Haunted. But Stryker knows better. Evil wears many masks, and not all of them are dead. 
    Inside the mansion’s decaying splendor, strange things stir—phantoms of the past, secrets buried deep beneath velvet and stone. As Neville unravels the mysterious tragedy of the Bosworths, he begins to suspect the truth cuts closer to the bone than he ever imagined. 
    The deeper he digs, the more the line blurs between what’s real and what’s revenge. Between who he hunts—and who he is. 
    One truth waits in the shadows: some ghosts don’t just haunt houses. 
    They haunt bloodlines.

    When Francis House enlists in the British Army in 1907, at the tender age of fifteen years and three months, he is not thinking about war. He imagines he simply wants to earn his stripes – to ease his traumatised father's Boer War memories, or perhaps to please his favourite sister, Lily, with whom he has always dreamt of adventure. But he soon discovers that simply becoming a soldier is not enough and, against the advice of his sergeant, he determines to seek out a real fight. Wading ashore at Gallipoli seven years later, Francis thinks he might just have found the site of his greatest opportunity. Here, he thinks, he might finally prove himself a man. First, though, he must find his missing friend Berto.
    He needs to say sorry. He cannot yet imagine the ghosts that might stand in his way.
