  A woman is tried for shooting her husband in camp in Rajputana — a brute whom half the station believes she had every reason to kill — and the one man whose evidence can acquit her is Henry Thresk, a rising barrister who once loved her and knows exactly what speaking up will cost him. Mason had been an actor and an MP and would go on to run naval intelligence in Spain; he wrote the story first as a play, and the courtroom scenes still move like a stage. Fifty-nine plates, among them portraits by Edvard Munch and William Orpen, extend the book's study of character under pressure from the Rajputana camp to the wider stage.

  "[Narrator] James Faulkner delivers a resonant, understated performance as the no-nonsense Inspector Maigret...Faulkner's transitions between characters are seamless, and the female suspects are voiced with a gentle lift in tone that captures nuances of personality. A compelling, atmospheric portrayal of the much-loved Maigret and his world." — Kirkus A moody, rain-swept mystery from Georges Simenon that unfolds in a border town haunted by floods and deep secrets.  In The Flemish House, Maigret arrives in the rainy, flood-prone town of Givet on the Belgian border to solve the case of a missing young woman. He has been hired by the wealthy Peeters family, who are suspected of being responsible, to clear their name. As he plumbs the mysteries, prejudices, and hidden dramas of this town caught between two worlds, he has to decide whether there was foul play involved in the vanishing of the young woman, or if she has simply been chased away by the oppressive air of this benighted and fraught no-man’s-land. As he investigates, he finds himself becoming increasingly fascinated by Anna Peeters, the daughter of the family, who, stoic and unemotional, seems to be the linchpin in the strange compact that keeps the family together.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux

  A FEMME FATALE WITH A POINT TO PROVE
  It's the summer of 1985 in London's Soho, and Joe Stone is settling into his new life living in the heart of London's developing gay scene.
  When Danny Devraux—the compère they've hired to host their charity ball, The Frock Show—is found dead backstage, it falls to Joe and his friend and flatmate, Russell, to figure out what happened.
  All they have to go on is a broken stiletto found near the scene, and the briefest glimpse of a mystery woman fleeing the club. But who was she? And why did she kill the most loved man in cabaret?
  Past secrets, bent coppers, drag queens and old lovers all play their part in this noir murder mystery, set in the 1980s.
  WHO'S THAT GIRL? IS THE SECOND BOOK IN THE SOHO NOIR SERIES OF COSY CRIME STORIES.
