The String of Pearls is a mysterious novel by Thomas Preskett Prest telling about the adventures of a young lady Johanna Oakley searching for her missing lover Mark, and a demonic barber who keeps a mysterious barber shop of Sweeney Todd, where women are not allowed to enter.
Another thrilling novel of the war at sea from the author of Tug of War and Flotilla Attack.

Now, the Third Reich's largest and most deadly warship, the Tirpitz, had only one possible destination on Europe's Atlantic coast: the formidable dry dock of St Nazaire. HMS Rose, aged and jinxed destroyer, was detailed to join the daring mission to destroy the entire dry dock of St Nazaire. She found herself not, as planned, backing up Operation Chariot as a troop ship, but fighting alone in the icy, fogbound seas—shot to hell and 300 miles between her and home . . .Voir livre
