Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. Quercus Publishing, London, UK. 2008. Hardcover. Stated First Published in 2008. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Fine. DJ: Fine. Heavy pictorial boards and spine that mirrors the DJ with plasticized covering and black and red lettering on spine and front board. 171 pp 4ov. The eerie roll call of those who have disappeared mysteriously and have disappeared mysteriously and apparently without a trace sounds a troubling but strangely compulsive note along the main themes of human history. From the crew of the Mary Celeste to Lord Lucan, from Ambrose Bierce to Jimmy Hoffa, history is patterned with shadows left by people who have quite simply vanished. Setting aside those fevered explanations that attribute every disappearance to paranormal agency or alien abduction, these stories offer us both the frisson of uncertainty and the challenge of speculating, in an informed manner, as to the likely fate of the disappeared. A clean pristine copy.…

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: As New. First British Edition. When Bernie Gunther takes on a blackmail case and gets involved in the affairs of British spies, the former detective risks exposing his own dark past in this thrilling novel hailed by The New York Times Book Review as 'one of Kerr's best.' Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 1956. Having gone into hiding in the French Riviera, Bernie Gunther is working as a concierge at the Grand-Hôtel under a false name. His days and nights consist of maneuvering drunks to their rooms, shooing away prostitutes in search of trade, and answering the mindless questions posed by the absurdly rich guests'''needless to say, he's miserable. Now, the man who was once a homicide detective and unwilling SS officer in Hitler's Third Reich is simply the person you turn to for touring tips or if you need a bridge partner. As it just so happens, a rich and famous writer needs someone to fill the fourth seat in a regular game at the Villa Mauresque. But Somerset Maugham wants Bernie to help him get out of a game far more dangerous than bridge. Maugham is being blackmailed—perhaps because of his unorthodox lifestyle, or perhaps because, once upon a time, Maugham worked for the British Secret Service. THE OTHER SIDE OF SILENCE was shoertlisted for the 2016 CWA Historical Dagger. As new, unread, first edition, first printing, in as new, mylar-protected dust jacket. {Not remainder-marked or price-clipped} M140 Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 1956.

Sara is not convinced being a maid is better than being a whore, but the chance to escape her grasping 'madam' is too good to refuse. INSIDE THE THORELS' tall house in Spitalfields, where the strange cadence of the looms fills the attic, the two women forge an uneasy relationship. The physical intimacies of washing and dressing belie the reality, Sara despises her mistress's blindness to the hypocrisy of her household, while Esther is too wrapped up in her own secrets to see Sara as anything more than another charitable cause. IT IS SILK that has Esther so distracted. For years she has painted her own designs, dreaming that one day her husband will weave them into reality. When he laughs at her ambition, she unwittingly sets in motion events that will change the fate of the whole Thorel household and set the scene for a devastating day of reckoning between her and Sara. THE PRICE OF a piece of silk may prove more than either is able to pay. The author's debut novel. Jacket by Ghost (illustratore).…
