The remote hamlet of Port Cuan nestles on a northern shore at the foot of mighty sea cliffs that shelter it from the ravages of wind, Atlantic waves, and largely from time itself. When one of its houses comes up for sale, the residents brace themselves for the intrusion of a stranger into their idyllic existence. They discover that the newcomer is Gavin Pendry, once a famous travel writer, and are puzzled as to why he should come to live in such a remote place. Molly, Port Cuan's self-appointed soothsayer, is convinced he is running away from a dark secret in his past, and her fears seem justified when the new arrival behaves suspiciously by deliberately shunning all contact with his neighbours. Laura, a local artist, sets out to discover the reason for this, and Gavin finds himself drawn against his will into the eccentric community that is Port Cuan. He soon discovers that his determination to stay aloof is being seriously undermined by his growing feelings for Laura. Yet, the more Laura gets to know Gavin, the more mystified she is as to why he has come to Port Cuan. When she finally uncovers the answer to the riddle, it causes her so much heartbreak that she wishes she had left things alone.

Svetlana is, for once, truly happy, except that Andrew's family is strange, and not in a normal-strange kind of way.

Her intimidating mother-in-law demands she get busy fulfilling her reproductive duty to the family, and Andrew's eccentric uncle seems to be able to read her mind. Feeling bullied and wanting a career before motherhood, Svetlana takes precautions but ends up pregnant anyway.

Ben Rehder Mysteries Box Set: Buck Fever & Gone The Next by Ben Rehder (20 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

This box set includes two mystery novels written by Edgar and Shamus Award finalist Ben Rehder. Included are BUCK FEVER (first novel in the Blanco County mystery series) and GONE THE NEXT (first novel in the Roy Ballard mystery series). BUCK FEVER: It's the week before deer hunting season, as close to a statewide holiday as you get in Texas, and the locals are getting restless. Game Warden John Marlin has his hands full with poaching complaints coming in faster than he can write out-of-season tickets. Then a call of a different sort comes in. A man dressed up in some sort of deer costume has been shot at the Circle S ranch, and witnesses are reporting a massive wild-eyed buck prancing about the pasture in a lovesick frenzy. Marlin's seen a lot in his years, but this is wilder than he could have imagined: the man in the deer suit is a good friend, and the whacked-out whitetail isn't exactly a stranger either. It's the beginning of a mad, frantic weekend in Blanco County, one that will see a few more men shot, an invasion by Colombians with more than hunting on their minds, and damn near the end of Marlin's life. Ben Rehder serves it all up with a huge helping of humor in this debut comic mystery that will firmly establish him as the funniest crime writer in Texas. GONE THE NEXT: Meet Roy Ballard, freelance videographer with a knack for catching insurance cheats. He's working a routine case, complete with hours of tedious surveillance, when he sees something that shakes him to the core. There, with the subject, is a little blond girl wearing a pink top and denim shorts -- the same outfit worn by Tracy Turner, a six-year-old abducted the day before. When the police are skeptical of Ballard's report -- and with his history, who can blame them? -- it's the beginning of the most important case of his life.

Inside it are Countess Lucy's clothes and possessions from the time of the English Civil War. A cryptic note next to her name in the village burial records leads him to question how she, once the house's chatelaine, died. His wife's death was the same? As far as Colin is concerned all love ended with Lizzie, but he has reckoned without the countess's 'dead heart's desire'. But can he trust what he sees and feels? And what of the promise he made Lizzie on her deathbed? Excerpt: 'Do you believe in good and evil, Mr Walker? Do you believe that one or the other can stalk a family in response to a great sorrow? Excerpt: 'Nevertheless, I am disappointed,' I told myself... 'I cannot understand why it should be so incumbent on me to feel my wife is still alive when she is not.'... Since coming to Coberley Hall I had begun to feel sick to my stomach with excitement. Was I then literally incapable of digesting that I had watched her breathe her last?

Soon I was gasping for breath in a narrow space streaked with drops of blood which lined the secret walls in painted, perpendicular columns. Here, at its core, the house bled from its internal haemorrhage, it was forever dying from its bleeding heart.

Spartacus: The Myth and the Man by M. J. Trow (19 Reviews)    Price verified 25 minutes ago

This is a revised version of M. J. Trow's classic biography of an ancient and unforgettable hero. 'I am Spartacus' ranks among the most famous lines in Hollywood, with its image of the man's comrades prepared to die in his place in the Kirk Douglas film. And die they did; not the actors but the real army of Spartacus, crucified in their thousands along the Appian Way that leads to Rome. Spartacus: The Myth and the Man is a revised version of M. J. Trow's original biography, the first to be written in English, of a legend who has become all things to all men. He has been the focus of a ballet and an opera. Karl Marx called him 'the finest fellow in ancient history' and a communist group in 1920s Germany tried to topple the Weimar government in his name. The humble slave from Thrace (today's Bulgaria) became a gladiator, led a revolt and took on the greatest military system in history - Rome. The Romans were understandably anxious to erase him from history, so key facts about the man are hard to come by. What we do know is that he fought not one, but six Roman armies and beat them all before his final defeat. Thoroughly researched and impressive in its breadth, Spartacus: The Myth and the Man will please readers with an interest in ancient history. Praise for Spartacus: The Myth and the Man: 'Puts the fascinating story of Spartacus and his rebellion into its historical context in great detail. I really enjoyed it' - Amazon review 'If you're interested in Ancient Rome, or really enjoyed the Kirk Douglas epic, this book is fascinating. It highlights how the Spartacus story has been used and misused down the centuries and attempts to put flesh on the bones of the story' - Amazon review M. J. Trowis a historian, biographer and crime novelist. His books include the well-known Lestrade and Maxwell series as well as non-fiction such as Who Killed Kit Marlowe? and Vlad the Impaler. Originally from Wales, he now lives on the Isle of Wight.
