Book excerpt: Four years after she set sail from England, leaving everything she most loved behind, Maisie Dobbs at last returns, only to find herself in a dangerous place . . . In Jacqueline Winspear‘s powerful story of political intrigue and personal tragedy, a brutal murder in the British garrison town of Gibraltar leads Maisie into a web of lies, deceit, and peril. Spring 1937. In the four years since she left England, Maisie Dobbs has experienced love, contentment, stability—and the deepest tragedy a woman can endure. Now, all she wants is the peace she believes she might find by returning to India. But her sojourn in the hills of Darjeeling is cut short when her stepmother summons her home to England; her aging father Frankie Dobbs is not getting any younger. But on a ship bound for England, Maisie realizes she isn’t ready to return. Against the wishes of the captain who warns her, “You will be alone in a most dangerous place,” she disembarks in Gibraltar. Though she is on her own, Maisie is far from alone: the British garrison town is teeming with refugees fleeing a brutal civil war across the border in Spain. Yet the danger is very real. Days after Maisie’s arrival, a photographer and member of Gibraltar’s Sephardic Jewish community, Sebastian Babayoff, is murdered, and Maisie becomes entangled in the case, drawing the attention of the British Secret Service. Under the suspicious eye of a British agent, Maisie is pulled deeper into political intrigue on “the Rock”—arguably Britain’s most important strategic territory—and renews an uneasy acquaintance in the process. At a crossroads between her past and her future, Maisie must choose a direction, knowing that England is, for her, an equally dangerous place, but in quite a different way.

Book excerpt: Seven gripping tales of murder, mystery and intrigue featuring Satyajit Rayýs inimitable super sleuth, Feluda Feludaýs Last Case collects seven cases which span the career of Pradosh Mitter, a.k.a. Feluda. Starting with the first Feluda story, ýDanger in Darjeelingý ( 1965), in which Feluda and Topshe, his young cousin, grapple with anonymous letters, the young, keen-eyed detective grows more mature with each baffling crime he encounters. With amazing mental dexterity Feluda solves a gruesome murder case in ýTrouble in Gangtoký (1970), catches an unusual burglar in ýThe Anubis Mysteryý (1970), unravels the riddle of ýThe Keyý to a treasure (1973), lays a trap for the person who has stolen ýThe Gold Coins of Jehangirý (1983), and deals deftly with a group of kidnappers in ýThe Mystery of Nayaný (1990). The last story in this collection, ýRobertsonýs Rubyý ( 1992) was published after Satyajit Ray passed away, and brings to a close the glorious career of Feluda. In some of the stories Feluda and Topshe are assisted by Lalmohan Babu, alias Jatayu (a bumbling writer of crime fiction), who adds a touch of humour to the gripping action and high drama.

Book excerpt: Six exciting stories of deceit, intrigue and murder, featuring Rayýs super-sleuth Feluda, a.k,a, Pradosh Mitter, and his lieutenants, cousin Topshe and the dim-witted crime-writer, Lalmohan Babu. Their adventures begin in ýThe House of Deathý when a holiday to the beaches of Puri is interrupted by the theft of a priceless manuscript, quickly followed by a mysterious murder. Feludaýs skills are once more put to the test in ýNapoleonýs Letterý when the last known letter of the great emperor disappears and its owner is found murdered. Locating a missing person becomes the challenge in ýThe Disappearance of Ambar Sený which turns out to be a most unusual case, testing Feludaýs powers of detection to the full. ýCrime in Kedarnathý centres around a priceless pendant that a Maharaja generously bestows on Upadhyaya, a homoeopath, for curing him of asthma. But, when Upadhyaya renounces his worldly life to become a sanyasi and leaves for Kedarnath, he is hotly pursued by three different people. Can Feluda unravel the mystery before something disastrous occurs? The theatre becomes the scene of crime in ýThe Acharya Murder Caseý but Feluda is equal to the challenge. Lalmohan Babuýs joy at seeing one of his novels filmed is quickly replaced with fear as the set becomes a place of murder and theft in ýMurder in the Mountainsý, but even the most cunning of villains is no match for Feluda. Gripping drama and suspense combine with humour and memorable writing to form a splendid treat for Rayýs fans everywhere.

Determined to bring the murderer to justice, Julia engages the enigmatic Brisbane to help her investigate Edward's demise. Dismissing his warnings that the investigation will be difficult, if not impossible, Julia presses forward, following a trail of clues that lead her to even more unpleasant truths, and ever closer to a killer who waits expectantly for her arrival.

Book excerpt: A modern gothic novel of suspense that reveals, through their diaries, the story of sisters who fall in love with a beguiling stranger, and of the town that turns a blind eye to his murderous ways When two sisters and their aunt are found dead in their suburban Dublin home, it seems that the secret behind their untimely demise will never be known. But then Niall, a young mailman, finds a mysterious diary in the post office's dead-letter bin. From beyond the grave, Fiona Walsh shares the most tragic love story he's ever heard—and her tale has only just begun. Niall soon becomes enveloped by the mystery surrounding itinerant storyteller Jim, who traveled through Ireland enrapturing audiences and wooing women with his macabre mythic narratives. Captivated by Jim, townspeople across Ireland thought it must be a sad coincidence that horrific murders trailed him wherever he went—and they failed to connect that the young female victims, who were smitten by the newest bad boy in town, bore an all too frightening similarity to the victims in Jim's own fictional plots. The Walsh sisters, fiercely loyal to one another, were not immune to "darling" Jim's powers of seduction, but found themselves in harm's way when they began to uncover his treacherous past. Niall must now continue his dangerous hunt for the truth—and for the vanished third sister—while there's still time. And in the woods, the wolves from Jim's stories begin to gather.
