Sinossi

London, March 1941. The Blitz continues to cast a shadow over the city's brightest spots such as the Café de Paris. Having narrowly escaped a devastating bomb attack on the nightclub, Detective Chief Inspector Coburg and Sergeant Lampson are called to the disused Lord's Underground station where the body of a man has been discovered.


The dead man was beaten to death by what may have been a cricket bat. Is he linked to the British Empire XI, made up of players from Great Britain and far-flung corners of the globe, who are playing at the world-famous Lord's Cricket Ground? Coburg and Lampson are certainly put in a spin by this complex case.

    In the mysterious town of Trident, Texas, two enigmatic figures, Jack Coletree and Tina Jean Plumb, find their paths intertwined by extraordinarily peculiar circumstances. Unbeknownst to the unsuspecting residents, Jack and Tina harbor a dark secret—they are both serial killers with an insatiable thirst for blood. 
    As the duo navigate through Trident, the once-quiet backwater town becomes the stage for a gruesome symphony of murder. Bodies begin to accumulate, and the community descends into a state of fear and paranoia. 
    When Tina, driven by a desire for a fresh start, decides to leave Trident, she grapples with the challenge of discerning whom she can truly trust in a world tainted by deceit. In a town where appearances are deceptive and alliances are precarious, Tina discovers that the most apparent choices may not always be the correct ones.na 
    As she navigates the treacherous terrain of her own instincts and the complex web of relationships in Trident, Tina is faced with a harrowing realization—the path to redemption and a new life may demand more than just escaping the town; it may require confronting the shadows within herself. In this dark and suspenseful tale, loyalties are tested, secrets unravel, and the thin line between predator and prey becomes increasingly blurred.

    THE BINOMIAL ASTEROID PROBLEM. The deadly final encounter between Professor Moriarty and Sherlock Holmes took place at Reichenbach Falls on 4 May 1891. But when was their first encounter? When did Holmes first come to know that there was a evil genius behind a massive web of crime? This new story answers that question. What began with nothing more than a stolen Gladstone bag on wheels quickly escalates into murder and more. And if Holmes and Watson do not move fast enough, it could become much worse. This new story is a tribute -- a 'prequal' -- to the Canonical story of The Final Problem.

    When Helen Davenport is found strangled in her fashionable London flat, the discovery shocks even those who thought they knew her best. Glamorous, charming, and with just enough scandal in her past to raise eyebrows, Helen had always walked a dangerous line between admiration and envy. But who hated her enough to kill? 
    Enter Scott Egerton, amateur sleuth and Member of Parliament, who quickly realizes this is no ordinary crime of passion. Behind Helen’s glittering façade lies a web of secrets: blackmail, betrayal, and a scandalous past that someone was desperate to keep buried. With Scotland Yard circling in one direction and Egerton digging in another, the truth becomes more elusive—and far deadlier—than anyone suspects. 
    The Murder of Mrs Davenport is a taut, atmospheric classic from Anthony Gilbert (pseudonym of Lucy Beatrice Malleson), blending biting social observation with razor-sharp plotting. A must-read for fans of Agatha Christie, Ethel Lina White, and Golden Age crime.
