Beschreibung

When Pinkerton operative Temple Bywater arrives in Saratoga, Wyoming, he is met by a bullet, and then by a mystery. Senator Andrew Stone has been murdered. But is the killer Nathan Wedge, the banker next in line to take Stone's place? Or did lawyers Forrest and Mill Jackson, and town marshal Tom Gaines, all have a hand in the murder? Those and other questions must be answered by Bywater, his Pinkerton sidekick, Clarence Sugg, and Texas Jack Logan. Faced by gunmen whose allegiances are cloaked in mystery, Temple Bywater fights on. The showdown comes in Saratoga, when he must rely on his speed of hand. Will he come out on top in a bloody gun fight against an adversary who is not only tough, but completely unforeseen?

    When armed riders roll into a quiet prairie town, they expect fear—and quick surrender. 
    Instead, they find Deputy Eli Mercer. 
    Young and untested, Eli wears a badge that still feels too large for him. But when a powerful railroad baron moves to seize the town's rail spur and grain warehouse, intimidation turns to gunfire—and gunfire turns to war. 
    Outnumbered and outmatched, the townsfolk must decide whether to sell their future for safety… or stand and risk everything. As sabotage, occupation, and bloodshed escalate, Eli is forced into leadership sooner than he ever imagined. 
    Some towns can be bought. 
    Some can be burned. 
    But some refuse to bend. 
    A Town That Would Not Bend is a classic Western of courage under fire, loyalty tested in smoke, and a young deputy who learns that standing steady is sometimes the only way to survive.

    A spare heir on his Grand Tour. The daughter of a naturalist. When their reunion on the Nile seems to suffer a mummy's curse, she's determined to learn why.  
    When Tom Forster embarked on a Grand Tour with his brother and cousins, he expected to tour temples and monuments, be humbled in the presence of pyramids and monoliths, and be amazed by the sites beyond the cerulean blue waters of the Mediterranean—including beautiful women. Despite being haunted by a kiss he shared with a young lady, he knows not to engage with any women. He has already paid witness to his oldest cousin and his brother losing their hearts—and bachelor status—to women they claim are the loves of their lives. 
    That is, until he sees her—again—this time with a baby.  
    The daughter of a renowned naturalist, Lady Helen has spent most of her life surrounded by the living things her father brought back from his numerous expeditions—including her mother. After three Seasons out, she has no desire to go through another Season in London. When she learns the young man she met and kissed at a ball will be in Egypt for part of his Grand Tour, she talks her father into an expedition to Egypt. While he searches for exotic plants, she can be on the lookout for Tom. 
    When the families end up sharing accommodations, Helen is confused by Tom's stand-offish behavior toward her. She thought they parted on good terms. Promising terms. 
    Despite confrontations with a crocodile, a frightful mummy, and a clue found in hieroglyphics, he’s obviously avoiding her. If she wasn't in the company of a baby, she would hit him over the head with a sphinx to knock some sense into him. Doesn’t he realize how perfect they would be together?

    An Edinburgh advocate experiences humiliation and terror in a surreal Scottish Highland adventure.
    
    Donald Humbie, leaving behind his career and his wife in Edinburgh, heads north to familiar places for a short break. Unfortunately, the familiar places have become unfamiliar and increasingly hostile.
    
    Each setting, each character, each event is an unsettling side-step away from normality in a dark, surreal landscape that has Donald fleeing manically around the country. Fearing that his wife has been abducted, he seeks out MacNucator, a private detective, to find her.
    
    Meanwhile the Sinister Cabaret, led by the strange and unfathomable Mr Motion, pursues him relentlessly.
    
    John Herdman's characters inhabit a dark universe illuminated by his profoundly laconic wit. In the Sinister Cabaret he continues the exploration of extreme states of mind and ambiguous interior worlds with the Gothic imagination, which has led critics to compare him with James Hogg and R L Stevenson.
    
    Gothic, surreal, and type Jungian to the max, this hypnagogic novel from John Herdman will take you to the edge of reason.
