Sinopse

A collection of eighteen classic Golden Age short stories from “the best of mystery writers”—with a tribute by Agatha Christie (The New Yorker).   Acclaimed by critics and her peers, Margery Allingham was one of the finest writers of her day, crafting fiction that challenged readers’ crime-solving skills and kept them on the edge of their seats. Foul play, mystery, and the macabre set the stage for unforgettable characters who struggled with the complexities of life and their own morality.   In these pages, you’ll find eighteen stories that showcase Margery Allingham’s wit, sharp characterization, and clever plotting. From her famous detective’s swift dispatch of a case in “Mr. Campion’s Lucky Day,” to ghost-hunting in a terrorized village in “’Tis Not Hereafter,” to a debate about—and proof of—good and evil in “The Wink,” Margery Allingham shows why she “deserves to be rediscovered” (P. D. James, New York Times–bestselling author).  Praise for Margery Allingham   “[Allingham was a] rare and precious talent.” —The Washington Post   “Don’t start reading these books unless you are confident that you can handle addiction.” —The Independent   “One of the finest Golden-Age crime novelists.” —The Sunday Telegraph

    That’s the trouble with anarchists: big ideas, shoddy staff work. 
    Harry Delamere doesn’t know much about opera, but he’s fairly sure people aren’t supposed to get murdered for real at the climax. In this excerpt from his memoirs - published as the Gentleman Adventurer series - he finds himself kidnapped, blown up, suspected of murder, forced to listen to Winston Churchill, kidnapped again - oh, and again - enjoying a terrifying encounter with modern technology and making a most ungentlemanly display of his legs while tackling the threat of world revolution. 
    A thrilling clash between the genteel arts and the new-fangled flying machines! Two of the most notorious incidents in the history of British radicalism! Shocks, scandals, anarchist outrages, sinister secret policemen, foreign beauties, pioneer pilots, domestic beauties, and a most distressing episode during the interval at the Alhambra. 
    ‘Ye Gods’, said Winston Churchill; ‘Harry Delamere… It must be worse than we feared.’

    Fifty years ago, a glittering Hollywood party ended in scandal and murder. The only clue left behind was a single, bloodstained Tarot card. 
    Now journalist Timothy McShay is determined to uncover what really happened that long-ago summer night. Other reporters have tried before him. One paid with his life. Tim isn’t easily frightened—he has a book to write. 
    Until a Tarot card appears, pinned to his own front door. 
    The message is unmistakable: stop digging. 
    With threats closing in and the past refusing to stay buried, Tim turns to the one man he swore he’d never rely on again—his ex-lover, Detective Jack Brady. Jack isn’t thrilled to be dragged into Tim’s investigation, especially when it’s clear someone is willing to kill to keep old secrets hidden. 
    As the cards begin to fall, Tim and Jack must confront unfinished business of their own—because this time the stakes aren’t just professional. 
    They’re deadly.
