Sinopsis

The detectives of Britain’s Department Z look into a murder at an exclusive club. 
 
Sir Basil Riordon is mysterious, frightening, and immensely wealthy. But is he also a killer? As head of England’s elite secret service, Department Z, Gordon Craigie has to find out, but it won’t be an easy investigation with so many important people involved. 
 
A member of an exclusive London club has been poisoned, and Riordon or his son, Marcus, may be involved. Craigie assigns his best agent, Devenish, to find the truth. But what Devenish finds isn’t a clear-cut case of homicide, but a mad masquerade of murder, larceny, and deceit of the highest order. And he and Craigie may be in over their heads . . .

    Annie Rose Charlotte Key was born on 9th November 1859 in Kensington, London. 
     
    With a privileged background—her father was an admiral, her mother a Lady, Rose began her creative life as a painter before a stab at writing local history settled her into popular fiction. 
     
    Her works were solidly written and often described as having a ‘certain graceful facility’. 
     
    Her marriage to Philip Augustus Champion de Crespigny in 1878 resulted in a family of 4 children and a name of status. 
     
    Rose was a leading member of the Ridley Art Club, the Lyceum Club in Piccadilly, and of the British College of Psychic Science.  Victorian society had a particular fascination with spiritualism and in ‘The Moving Finger’ Rose uses the theme as a background to introduce her popular occult detective Norton Vyse into her series of short stories.  
     
    Rose Champion de Crespigny died on 10th February 1935.  She was 75.

    Flatlands is believable and complex. This story ranks with the classic depictions of the marvel that was the Old West, that great, vanished moment in history; within its strong atmosphere of reality, fiction intertwines with known facts of the time. This novel is a study in the strength of interaction between individuals of the same family or group, and explores stress and loyalty in the face of hostile odds. 
     
    Flatlands rewards the reader with rich insight into character and situation. Its individual tune interrupts shock and sorrow with irresistible laughter. A gripping original.

    In the drowsy, golden heat of a summer afternoon, the idyllic peace of the English countryside is suddenly shattered. A gunshot rings out across the pristine lawns of Mark Ablett's bachelor estate. Behind the locked door of the office lies Mark's estranged, rough-hewn brother from Australia—shot dead between the eyes. 
    But the true mystery is only just beginning. The master of the house has vanished. The loyal cousin was pacing outside the locked door. And an unexpected arrival—the charming, fiercely observant Antony Gillingham—has just strolled up the driveway, perfectly timed to step into the role of amateur detective. 
    The Red House Mystery is a brilliant, intricately plotted locked-room puzzle that will delight fans of Golden Age detective fiction. With sharp wit, keen psychological observation, and a labyrinth of false trails—from missing keys to ghostly apparitions—Antony and his faithful friend Bill Beverley must piece together the tragic events of the afternoon. Was it a tragic accident, a panicked act of self-defense, or a cold, calculated murder? 
    Join the investigation, examine the clues, and prepare for a sophisticated game of cat and mouse where nothing—and no one—is quite what they seem.
