Beschreibung

An American gangster brings his bloody business to 1930s Britain in this suspenseful thriller from an Edgar Award–winning author. 
 
Amateur boxer Martin Storm’s visit to New York seemed like it was a success. That is, until his car was machine-gunned and the police had to smuggle him out of the country . . . 
 
But Storm finds no safety at home, either, and the search begins to find the man who is hunting him down. 
 
He soon discovers that he has become involved with an American underworld boss who is planning to expand his business to Britain. Will he be able to bob and weave his way out of the gangster’s clutches, with some help from the detectives of Department Z—or will this be his final match?

    This page-turning biographical novel follows the footsteps of a forgotten legend of the Russian Revolution, from Odessa to Moscow, Istanbul, and beyond. 
    Yakov Blumkin claimed to have had nine lives. Born to a poor Jewish family and orphaned as a child, he was a Socialist Revolutionary, a terrorist, the assassin of the German ambassador Wilhelm von Mirbach, a poet close to the avant-garde, a member of Cheka, a military strategist, a secret agent, and Leon Trotsky’s secretary. Executed in 1929 on Stalin’s orders at the age of only twenty-nine, he has continued to inspire a powerful curiosity, and wild rumors and falsehoods about his extraordinary life abound today.  
    As a young man in 1980s Paris, Christian Salmon identified strongly as a Bolshevik, drawn to the glorious October Revolution immortalized in literature and films such as Warren Beatty’s Reds and Sergei Eisenstein’s trilogy. Picking up the thread of his dream thirty years later, he sets out to reconstruct Blumkin’s shadowy past and ever-shifting identity with a trove of manuscripts, documents, rare photographs, and personal souvenirs.

    Miss Seeton returns! – a new original (the first in almost 20 years) for this classic series of humorous cosy mysteries created by Heron Carvic. 
    It’s practically a Royal Marriage! The highly eligible son of Miss Seeton’s old friends Sir George and Lady Colveden has wed the daughter of a French count. 
    Miss Seeton lends her talents to the village scheme to create a quilted ‘Bayeux Tapestry’ of local history, inspired by the wedding. But her intuitive sketches reveal a startlingly different perspective – involving buried Nazi secrets, and links to the mysterious death of a diplomat and to a South American dictator . . . 
    Serene amidst every kind of skulduggery, this eccentric English spinster steps in where Scotland Yard stumbles, armed with nothing more than her sketchpad and umbrella!Editorial reviews: 
    “A most beguiling protagonist!” New York Times 
    “Miss Seeton gets into wild drama with fine touches of farce . . . This is a lovely mixture of the funny and the exciting.” San Francisco Chronicle 
    “This is not so much black comedy as black-currant comedy . . . You can’t stop reading. Or laughing.” The Sun 
    “Depth of description and lively characters bring this English village to life.” Publishers Weekly 
    “Fun to be had with a full cast of endearingly zany villagers . . . and the ever gently intuitive Miss Seeton.” Kirkus Reviews 
    “Miss Seeton is the most delightfully satisfactory character since Miss Marple.” Ogden Nash
