Description Beautiful but superficial Kitty Fane arrives in 1920s Hong Kong, accompanying her bacteriologist husband, the quiet and honorable Walter Fane. Kitty begins an affair, but Walter learns of her infidelity, and forces her to accompany him on a charitable mission into the heart of a cholera epidemic in mainland China—a mission of potentially deadly risk. The people and events they encounter there force them to confront their own deepest selves, changing them both forever. The novel was successful in its time, and has proven to be one of Maugham’s most enduring. Although deeply introspective, it enjoyed a stage adaptation and three commercial film adaptations, including one...

Ex-policeman Bernie Gunther thought he'd seen everything on the streets of 1930s Berlin. But then he went freelance, and each case he tackled sucked him further into the grisly excesses of Nazi subculture. And even after the war, amidst the decayed, imperial splendour of Vienna, Bernie uncovered a legacy that made the wartime atrocities look lily-white in comparison... Amazon.com Review Now published in one paperback volume, these three mysteries are exciting and insightful looks at life inside Nazi Germany -- richer and more readable than most histories of the period. We first meet ex-policeman Bernie Gunther in 1936, in March Violets (a term of derision which original Nazis used to describe late converts.) The Olympic Games are about to start; some of Bernie's Jewish friends...

At the conclusion of Cornwell's best-sellingThe Last Kingdom (2005), Uhtred, the dispossessed son of a slain Saxon nobleman raised by Danish warriors, had reluctantly rejoined King Alfred's beleaguered forces in the rapidly dwindling kingdom of Wessex. Although the Danes had already conquered the kingdoms of East Anglia, Northumbria, and Mercia, Alfred, with an able assist from Uhtred, had stalwartly fended off the Viking invasion. Uneasily allied to the cerebral Alfred, the more vigorous Uhtred is plagued by divided loyalties as the Saxons struggle to maintain a toehold against the mighty Viking war machine. Taking refuge in a boggy marshland, the ragtag remnants of the Saxon army desperately attempt to regroup. Two vastly different heroes--Alfred and Uhtred--stand between the Danes and...

Description The cathedral of Wrychester has adjacent to it a beautiful and ancient garden known locally as “Paradise.” One morning, a man, not known locally, plunges to his death from the cathedral tower into that very garden. Pemberton Bryce, a young doctor freshly fired from the medical practice in the cathedral Close, is called to the scene. Glimpsing the senior doctor who fired him in an agitated state, he quickly calculates how he can turn to his advantage the facts that he alone possesses—and the prize he’s determined to win is the beautiful ward of his erstwhile employer. While the plot of The Paradise Mystery may not conform wholly to the rules that the Detection Club later sought to impose on the crime fiction of the Golden Age,...
