Beschreibung

A desperate woman’s innocent escape from London turns deadly in this suspenseful mystery by the renowned author of the Albert Campion series.   Out of a job, a home, and luck, Mary Coleridge tells a seemingly innocuous lie in order to take a break from the pressures of London. Posing as her friend, Marie-Elizabeth Mason, Mary travels to the countryside to visit Miss Mason’s wealthy aunt. The estate is grand, Mrs. de Liane eager and endearing, the food abundant and delectable. It is so nice, in fact, that Mary settles into her new life as Marie-Elizabeth, and even entertains the possibility of a new beau. But something is not right within the great house.   As Mary’s stay extends, the sweet Mrs. de Liane begins to sour. The scheming matriarch has a devilish plan in store for her niece. And when Mary fails to cooperate, Mrs. de Liane decides to hold her captive. With no one to turn to and no way out, will Mary ever escape the house, and the oppressive evil that rules it?   The queen of classic crime, Margery Allingham, delivers a dazzling manor house mystery writing as Maxwell March.

    It's either a brave or a stupid person who threatens anything Nikolas Mikkelsen loves. 
    Ben usually overlooks Nikolas's occasionally jarring dissonance. Not this time. A deep rift, a terrible lie, separates them. Eleven thousand miles from Nikolas, in New Zealand, it's bitter winter as Ben films the tragic story of a post-apocalyptic gladiator, a victim of his own personal darkness. But on receiving a death threat, Ben suspects the truth of actor Oliver Whitestone's suicide. Someone doesn't want this movie made. It's fortunate for Ben, therefore, that dissonance is a state of unrest, a longing for completion. As if Nikolas would stay at home in disgrace while Ben Rider-Mikkelsen becomes the target of a crazed stalker...

    In the shadowy crossroads of deep-space outposts, where wanderers trade stories as often as credits, one woman stands apart: Steena—quiet, sharp-eyed, and possessed of a mind that never forgets. A thin, gray figure with a photographic memory and an uncanny instinct for danger, Steena has saved more lives than she’s ever claimed credit for. And when Bub Nelson brings her Bat, a massive gray tom-cat with a growl like a reactor core, the two form a bond as mysterious as the galaxy itself. 
    From the rites of Jupiter’s moons to the treasure-sparked Slitite rush, from smoky spacer bars to derelict ships drifting in cold void, Steena’s knowledge cuts deeper than rumor and sharper than luck. But it’s her unraveling of the legendary Empress of Mars mystery that cements her as one of the most enigmatic—and indispensable—figures on the star lanes. 
    Andre Norton blends noir atmosphere, cosmic intrigue, and strange companionship in this classic science-fiction tale of intuition, survival, and the quiet intelligence that sees what others overlook. Narrated by Drew Caton with grit, subtlety, and atmospheric tension, All Cats Are Grey is a voyage into the margins of the galaxy… where secrets live, legends breathe, and a gray woman and her gray cat walk unafraid.

    In the 1880s a sixth daughter learns not to ask for much, even if she’s the daughter of an earl. Even if she married the richest man in her corner of Sussex. Even if she’s now a widow with a splendid Georgian mansion. 
    Lady Helena Whitcombe is still trying to adjust to widowhood and reconcile her family loyalties with her desires when her artist sister Odelia makes a startling suggestion.

    Here begins the thrilling story of a young vigilante, though he’d never call himself such. Marvin simply has certain… needs. Needs which can only be satisfied by watching people suffer. Pedophiles annoy him, so he targets them. Don’t worry, though—Marvin’s not big on blood. He prefers the mental sort of suffering, which in many ways is all the more gruesome. Of course, sometimes things get out of hand, and blood cannot be prevented. 
    A therapist by day and a stalker and intruder by night, Marvin continues with his never-ending quest to induce and spectate emotional turmoil in strangers. It’s a game he’s played for all of his adult life, a game he loves—a game he’s good at. But as time goes on, Marvin begins to take on more victims than he can handle—dangerous victims, the likes of which he’s never encountered—and before long, he’s in way over his head.
