Editorial: Classica Libris
Confidence, one of Henry James’s early and lesser-known novels, is the charming story of a pair of American expatriates—an artist and a scientist—traveling through the great cities of Europe. Romantic complications ensue when the two old friends encounter two very different women on their travels, proposals and rejections follow, but all ends happily for everyone.
This story by Alice Muriel Williamson has its feet firmly planted in a mix of genres, and manages to thrill and entertain in equal measure. A woman in distress, a handsome hero, a dangerous villain, physical action, psychological suspense and real scares all cohabit in this classic tale with quite a bit of a gothic feel to it: "Never, it seemed to me, had I seen a habitation so grim, so silently suggestive of haunting, evil things… The wind moaned through the trees like the wail of a lost soul." Artist Bio Author: Alice Muriel Williamson (1869-1933), was an English novelist. Many of her books were written jointly with her husband Charles Norris Williamson. Artist Bio Jack Brown: Jack Brown is a passionate reader of classic and genre oriented literature. He enjoys creating high quality audio books. BearbeitenVer libro

When Dr. Tom More (of Love in the Ruins) is released on parole from state prison, he returns to Feliciana, Louisiana, the parish where he was born and bred and where he practiced psychiatry before his arrest. Upon arriving, he notices something strange in almost everyone around him: unusual sexual behavior in women patients, a bizarre loss of inhibition, a lack of complexity in speech—even his own wife's extraordinary success at bridge tournaments, during which her mind seems to function like a computer. With the ingenious help of his attractive cousin, Dr. Lucy Lipscomb, More begins to uncover a criminal experiment to "improve" people's behavior by drugging the local water supply. But beyond this scheme are activities so sinister that even Tom More wouldn't believe them if he hadn't witnessed them with his own eyes.Ver libro
