Footsteps in the Fog (The Harding Hall Mysteries Book 2) by Ram Tuli (11 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

A MISFIRING TRIGGER WARNING: YOU'RE ABOUT TO READ FOOTSTEPS IN THE FOG. DON'T STOP NOW. Muttonheads or not, in Dying Horribly at Harding Hall, Loris and Lars helped solve five of the eleven bizarre deaths that had taken place in their family over just a few decades. As Book 2, Footsteps in the Fog, opens, they learn, with mixed feelings, that those responsible for the solved murders have been hanged. Now Lars is bored at Harding Hall. But if a plot that featured eleven murders (give or take an accidental death or two) can thicken, this one is about to. Lars, it seems, now has the brawn, brains, and bravery (as well as the money) to do anything he wants, so he decides to open a detective agency in London with retired Inspector Fergus Kerr. Business is slow at first, but it picks up when the wife of a "well-connected" toff hires them to investigate whether her husband is cheating. He is, of course. Lars and Kerr bring the matter to an unconventional conclusion that leaves everybody happy (more or less). Almost overlooked in all the zany action, Loris somehow winds up with "the other woman" and they get married. But events rush on. It's 1939, and England is at war. Lars has been pestering the War Office to volunteer his detective agency to help in the war effort, and getting no response. He suspects an admiral has something to do with this neglect (this admiral had been caught cheating by Lars's detective agency). Lars sends an anonymous letter to a very important person in the government, trying to expose the admiral's treachery, but the letter is easily traced back to him. This letter changes everything. By pure coincidence, the rogue admiral is really a spy, and the War Office is impressed with Lars. Or maybe not so impressed -- but they need a big, rich oaf for a vital intelligence effort, Operation Black Hat, with the goal of flushing out the Wolfsfrau, Germany's top spy in England. Lars and Loris -- like everyone else involved in this ...

Boxes of Time: Stories by Jack Matthews (1 Review)    Price verified one hour ago

Stories about messy emotions, troubled families and damaged personalities. 11th Story Collection. Over his lifetime Jack Matthews (1925-2013) wrote over 200 stories, many of which were published in literary journals. Although stories varied widely in subject and style, they often could be described as urbane, philosophical, poetic and sardonic. Stories in Boxes of Time were mostly published between 1961 and 1981; they feature characters who are troubled or unsure of themselves trying to deal with life's usual disappointments. Stylistically, these stories are polished and carefully written, but they deal with messy emotions, troubled families and damaged personalities. The characters may not be as educated or self-assured as the people in his other collections, but they still manage to figure out interesting things about themselves and the people around them. Stories from this period focus especially on the emotional stresses that separate parents from their children. This ebook contains 24 stories by Jack Matthews which have never been collected, making it the author's largest story collection. Matthews picked "Boxes of Time" as the title for this collection because each story reveals the drama of worlds long since gone but whose dreams and fears and anxieties still resonate today.

The Far Side of Paradise: A Biography of F. Scott Fitzgerald by Arthur Mizener (109 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

The seminal biography of F. Scott Fitzgerald. The Far Side of Paradise was the first ever biography of F. Scott Fitzgerald, widely acclaimed as a sensitive, scholarly appraisal of the writer's life and work. With this revised edition, updated to include new information that has since surfaced, Arthur Mizener has created a definitive portrait of Fitzgerald - the man, his work, and his exciting, globe-trotting life. He explores his childhood and formative years at Princeton University, as well as his chaotic marriage to Zelda Sayre and the years they spent in Paris together with writers and artists like Hemingway and Picasso. After becoming a chronicler of the 'flapper age' in the 1920s, Fitzgerald struggled with alcoholism and despair following his wife's diagnosis as a schizophrenic. In this fascinating biography, Mizener delves into the elements of Fitzgerald's own life that influenced The Great Gatsby, as well as his other acclaimed novels. Fans of F. Scott Fitzgerald will find this an illuminating and revealing look into the man behind the books. Praise for The Far Side of Paradise: 'He tells it in an easy style throughout... it is the story of a highly gifted man who ruined himself by pursuing false ideals, who set out to redeem himself by patient effort and who had almost succeeded when he died -- not of drinking, but of overwork, Fitzgerald's books are better known today than they were in his time, but his life as Mizener presents it is even more impressive than his fiction' - Malcolm Cowley 'So intriguing and his story so fascinating in itself that you are likely to overlook the skill required for an adequate presentment of him. Mizener's presentment has a delusive air of simplicity. But that is a measure of the discretion and sobriety of the biographer and the rigor with which he has subordinated the author of the book to its subject' - Yale Review 'Timely, scholarly, but never dull' - New York Times Arthur Mizener was a professor ...
