Download or read book The Dark Palace written by R. N. Morris and published by Canelo. This book was released on 2020-05-25 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A police inspector investigates a grisly murder at a movie premiere in this dark historical mystery set in pre–World War I London. London, April 1914. Against his better judgement, Detective Inspector Silas Quinn is attending the premiere of the new motion picture by notorious American film-maker Konrad Waechter. But the glamorous event is interrupted by the piercing screams of a young woman in the street outside. She has been viciously mutilated in a horrific accident which eerily echoes a macabre act of violence in Waechter’s film. As he questions those who attended the premiere, Quinn’s jaundiced view of the fledgling film industry as a business based on pretense, where no one is what they seem, appears to be justified. But soon the investigation takes a disturbing twist that has him questioning everything he thought he knew . . . An excellent choice for fans of C. J. Sansom, Rory Clements and S. G. MacLean. Praise for The Dark Palace “Stellar. . . . [Quinn’s] most bizarre case yet. . . . Ruth Rendell fans open to stories set a century ago will be well satisfied.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “A lively cast of supporting characters . . . adds Dickensian zest. Quinn’s third case . . . benefits greatly from Morris’ colorful period-flavor prose.” —Kirkus Reviews

Download or read book Dark Palace written by Frank Moorhouse and published by Random House Australia. This book was released on 2011-10-26 with total page 840 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Miles Franklin Literary Award. 'Any of Frank Moorhouse's books are rewarding and stimulating. But his trilogy following a young Australian diplomat at the founding of the League of Nations is a masterpiece. In Edith Campbell Berry, his heroine, he created one of the enduring characters in literature. The trilogy is Grand Days, Dark Palace and Cold Light. All are must reads.' - Michael Williams, Qantas magazine Five years have passed since Edith Campbell Berry's triumphant arrival at the League of Nations in Geneva, determined to right the wrongs of the world. The idealism of those early Grand Days has been eroded by a sense foreboding as the world moves ever closer to another war. Edith's life too, has changed: her marriage and her work are no longer the anchors in her life – she is restless, unsure, feeling the weight of history upon her and her world. As her certainties crumble, Edith is once again joined by Ambrose Westwood, her old friend and lover. Their reunion is joyful, and her old anxiety about their unconventional relationship is replaced by a feeling that all things are possible – at least in her private life. But World War II advances inexorably, and Edith, Ambrose and their fellow officers must come to terms with the knowledge that their best efforts – and those of the well-meaning world – are simply useless against the forces of the time. Moving, wise and utterly engrossing, this is a profound and enriching novel. Grand Days and Dark Palace confirm Frank Moorhouse as one of our greatest writers – a master of tone and timing, an elegant and exuberant stylist, and an unerring chronicler of the human spirit.

Download or read book World of Chessboard written by Yi JiuQianShang and published by Funstory. This book was released on 2020-05-13 with total page 994 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is like a play, young master Qing Yi. What was distinct in black and white was the chess game; what was indistinct was the human heart. Chess is difficult to decide, step by step, one wrong move, all lost. He was gentle and refined, drunk and free from worldly strife; he wore an open and upright robe, his reputation as a man of the world was just like smoke passing through his eyes; he lowered his eyebrows and gave a slight smile. He was playful, dashing, and elegant; he had a fan in his hand; it was common for people to fight openly or secretly, and they would look down on him with their heads held high. It was originally a different life, yet it became a straight line that led to a completely different end point. Was he going to be reborn from the flames? When the chessboard was no longer black and white, when every single chess piece was imbued with the hearts of the people, vividly displaying the word "chess", the chessboard would no longer be a chessboard, but a formidable game.
