Synopsis

FELIX LEITER – JAMES BOND'S TRUSTED FRIEND AND ALLY – TAKES CENTER STAGE IN A BRAND NEW ADVENTURE BY LEGENDARY BOND NOVELIST, RAYMOND BENSON.
It is 1952. Felix has lost his job at the CIA and finds himself working for the Pinkerton Detective Agency. What starts as a simple surveillance job turns into anything but when Felix stumbles upon a murder and a cabal of spies embedded in Manhattan. Hired to transport the impossibly beautiful and impossibly secretive Dora from New York to Texas, Felix is thrust into a non-stop adventure, where danger and deceit lie in wait around every bend in the road.
The Hook and the Eye is a mystery, a romance, a spy story and a postcard to a lost Americana. It is also Raymond Benson at his very best.

    ✂️ Vintage sewing tool expert and restoration specialist Ripley Stitch is curating a historical sewing implements exhibit when the exhibit's major donor—a ruthless fashion historian—is found dead in her workshop, an antique seam ripper mysteriously embedded in a priceless Victorian gown. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Ripley notices the ripper's blade shows modern sharpening marks and the damaged gown reveals hidden layers of fabric that tell a different story. With her restoration business under scrutiny and the textile community in an uproar, Ripley must carefully unpick the layers of deception. Assisted by her conservation colleagues and the handsome textile analyst examining fabric degradation, Ripley uncovers a scheme involving garment forgery, stolen historical costumes, and a sophisticated operation altering museum-quality pieces. From suspicious stitch removal patterns that reveal multiple handlers to fabric fading that doesn't match the era, every torn thread tells a story. But when Ripley discovers the victim was systematically "authenticating" forged historical garments for insurance fraud, she realizes the killer is protecting a fashion legacy more valuable than any single piece. With the exhibit opening imminent and the real forger still cutting corners, Ripley must stitch together the evidence before her own reputation gets permanently torn apart.

    The collected short stories of the great Victor Canning, originally written and published in the 1950s and 1960s – full of humour, charm, and in true fashion of classic crime writing. 
    Canning’s heart-warming vignettes and clever mysteries take us from a Welsh valley to a far-off island and across the French countryside – introducing unforgettable characters and stories along the way.  Praise for Victor Canning:

    ‘Quite delightful … with an atmosphere of quiet contentment and humour that cannot fail to charm.’ Daily Telegraph 
    ‘A swift-moving novel, joyous, happy and incurably optimistic.’ Evening Standard

    ‘A paean to the beauties of the English countryside and the lovable oddities of the English character.’ New York Times
