  A man lies dead, a knife in his heart, and no one saw the killer—at least no one admits to it.
  In this classic mystery from Wilkie Collins, a young constable recounts a long-unsolved crime that haunts him still: a lodging house murder where the most obvious answers feel too neat, and justice remains out of reach. Between a silent staircase, a troubled cook, and a love that flickers beneath the surface, Who Killed Zebedee? draws us into a web of suspicion, memory, and moral reckoning.
  First published in 1881 and also known as The Policeman and the Cook, this tale blends psychological nuance with sharp suspense—hallmarks of Collins at his most compelling.

  First complete English translation of Jules Verne's classic novel of flight 
  At the Weldon Institute in Philadelphia, a mob of zealous balloon enthusiasts plans to conquer the sky in a state-of-the-art dirigible. When a stranger, the mysterious Robur, declares that the future belongs not to balloons but to heavier-than-air flying machines, the Institute scornfully dismisses the idea. But Robur demands vengeance—and has a unique flying machine that will allow him to take it. 
  By turns an impassioned argument for aviation, a wild proto-steampunk adventure, and a jubilant celebration of the dream of flight, Robur the Conqueror ranks among Jules Verne's most iconic and influential works. Its technological speculations, including the unforgettable aircraft Albatross, are a vibrant snapshot of nineteenth-century scientific innovation. 
  This, the first complete English translation of Verne's 1886 novel, includes an insightful introduction, explanatory chapter notes, and an up-to-date Verne biography and primary and secondary bibliography. It is an essential new edition of a seminal science fiction classic.
