Book Murder on the Mediterranean

Download or read book Murder on the Mediterranean written by Alexander Campion and published by Kensington Books. This book was released on 2014 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Escaping the demands of Paris police work, Commissaire Capucine Le Tellier embarks on a well-deserved Mediterranean cruise. But wherever the renowned inspector goes, murder is sure to be close on the horizon. . . On the azure waters off the coasts of Corsica and Sardinia, what could be more relaxing and rewarding than traipsing around the Mediterranean enjoying the local culinary delights. Among the invited bon vivants are Capucine, her husband, the celebrated restaurant critic, her special agent cousin Jacques, a famed bar owner, and even her boss. To all appearances, the table is set for an affair to remember. In the midst of this pleasure cruise, Natalie, the yacht's cook, is lost overboard. A sudden squall is the assumed cause. But once a bullet hole is discovered in her jacket, suspicions quickly shift and the onboard bonhomie suffers accordingly. When a shell casing is uncovered that matches the gun Capucine is authorized to carry, for the first time in her stellar career, the hardworking detective finds herself the prime suspect. For Capucine, these are clearly not the deep waters she envisioned as part of her holiday. As the motives become murkier, the gifted Commissaire will need to harness all her powers of deduction to get to the bottom of the mystery--before she ends up at the bottom of the sea.

Book excerpt: In this decadent installment, Verlaque and Bonnet find themselves hunting a murderer on a remote island in the glittering Mediterranean Sea Provençal Mystery Series #4 Now a series on BritBox, premiering March 1st. On-again couple Antoine Verlaque and Marine Bonnet are hoping for a relaxing holiday at the Locanda Sordou, but someone has other plans. Hoteliers Maxime and Catherine Le Bon have spent their life savings restoring the hotel, which lies in an archipelago of sun-soaked islands off the coast of Marseille. To celebrate the grand opening, a group of privileged guests joins Verlaque and Bonnet: Marine’s free-spirited best friend; an aging film star, his much-younger wife, and her disgruntled son; a pair of affable American tourists; and a querelous Parisian couple. But the murder of one of the guests casts a shadow over everyone’s vacation, and things go from bad to worse when a violent storm cuts off all communication with the mainland. Will the killer strike again? Like Donna Leon and Andrea Camilleri, M. L. Longworth enchants mystery lovers with a taste for good food and gorgeous landscapes in this installment of her acclaimed mystery series. “A charming read with a well-crafted mystery and characters as rich and full-bodied as a Bordeaux.” —Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Book excerpt: THE MEDITERRANEAN ISN'T JUST SUN, SAND AND SANGRIA –-IT'S DRUG-RUNNING, HI-JACKING AND MURDER Judy and Ben Kane have moved to Porto Viejo in Spain to run a small, harbor-front bar. A car accident has forced Ben's early retirement from the Breckland Fire brigade and Judy has resigned from her job as a Detective Sergeant in the Breckland Police to join him. However, Judy's crime fighting instincts soon come to the fore when a body is trawled up from the sea in the nets of a local fishing boat. Judy recognizes the photo-fit picture that appears in the newspapers as an old friend from her training days. Soon it becomes clear that they are up against a highly skilled gang running a joint piracy and drug smuggling operation. Yachts are disappearing regularly in the Mediterranean. The owners are presumably being murdered and thrown overboard and the vessels then used to run one or two drug running trips before being re-registered and sold on. There are two prime suspects, both named Harry. “Tweedledum and Tweedledee,” Ben observes wryly, “Harry A or Harry B?” Just one question to answer, but as Judy doggedly gets closer to the truth she finds that their lives depend upon getting the answer right.

Book Crime Fiction in and Around the Eastern Mediterranean

Download or read book Crime Fiction in and Around the Eastern Mediterranean written by Börte Sagaster and published by Harrassowitz. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a long time, crime fiction has been considered popular literature - an assessment that prevented serious critical engagement with it. It is only in recent years that critical literary theories have begun to be applied to genres such as crime fiction, while at the same time the interest of literary scholars in crime fiction by authors not belonging to the European-American 'Western' cultures has grown. The articles assembled in this volume seek to address the role of crime fiction in and around the Eastern Mediterranean in countries such as Turkey, Greece, Morocco, Algeria, Syria, Saudi-Arabia, and Egypt, focusing on generic, terminological, literary critical, social, and cultural themes. The book is intended to be an invitation for literary scholars doing research on different literatures of the Eastern Mediterranean to compare and discuss their results and to engage in further research in this field.

Book excerpt: The Mediterranean Mystery There is bloodshed and hysteria when an unknown man of Mediterranean appearance is murdered on Brighton beach. His body is discovered under a towel by Winnie, who herself is later found battered and left for dead. Experienced DCI Harry Webb and new young detective Andrew Brown are paired by DCS John Street to solve the web of crimes which ensue, made more complex by all possible suspects seemingly linked in one way or another. Two illusive men dressed in black and driving a black Ford are established as the prime suspects. As well as looking for murderers, the detectives soon realise they have stumbled on a diamond smuggling racket. Bags of diamonds are found behind the radio systems of MGB cars rented out by the Classic Cars garage owned by Max Grey. Initially Max is most unhelpful and a prime suspect until an attempt is also made on his life. Clues found in Mr Pantazis's (the murdered man's) hotel room and clients wanting to rent MGBs specifically from Max Grey lead the two detectives to follow up investigations in Cyprus where Chief Galanis of the Cypriot police is their contact. Much to Harry and Andrew's amusement he also has a remarkable penchant for literary quotes, especially by Lewis Carroll - a theme picked up throughout the book. On the plane over to Cyprus Harry revealed to Andrew the work he did in the past with Special Branch could now well make him a target for revenge attacks by relatives of those he convicted. Hence a major part of Andrew's job would be to watch his back. ... This theory goes horribly wrong however when Andrew is mistaken for Harry on the very first evening and is violently abducted from his hotel room by the two men in black. He is held prisoner at an isolated old farm house near the Greek/Turkish border deep in the Troodos mountains. He eventually managed a daring escape and fled to safety to the heavily guarded RAF Mount Olympus Radar Station. From there Harry, Andrew and Chief Galanis are reunited. They find a lady from hotel cctv footage, who is Mr Pantazis's partner, Angie Sakalis. She has a beautiful young daughter Chloe who Andrew immediately took to ... Information from them linked the two men in black to the non-convicted murder of Mrs Sakalis's husband. They were probably working for an ex partner in their diamond emporium, Mr Nico Castellanos, who used the pseudonym Bert Barber in England. Cypriot police eventually discover the mountain hideout of the two wanted men. Harry and Andrew are fitted out with bullet proof vests and guns and a gun fight ensues at the deserted farmhouse. As a result two men are shot dead, two are badly injured and there follows a race against time to the nearest hospital. There is speculation on who is responsible for this - Harry has his thoughts but Andrew thinks his theory is right ... after intensive investigations and with the aid of an airline bookings office the truth unravels - but not before the astonishing revelations and subsequent suicide of ...

Book excerpt: Mystery crime fiction written in the Golden Age of Murder "There are occasional splashes of witty dialogue and luscious descriptions of the French Riviera; also, every suspect has at least one guilty secret." —Publishers Weekly When a counterfeit currency racket comes to light on the French Riviera, Detective Inspector Meredith is sent speeding southwards—out of the London murk to the warmth and glitter of the Mediterranean. Along with Inspector Blampignon—an amiable policeman from Nice—Meredith must trace the whereabouts of Chalky Cobbett, crook and forger. Soon their interest centres on the Villa Paloma, the residence of Nesta Hedderwick, an eccentric Englishwoman, and her bohemian house guests—among them her niece, an artist, and a playboy. Before long, it becomes evident that more than one of the occupants of the Villa Paloma has something to hide, and the stage is set for murder. This classic crime novel from 1952 evokes all the sunlit glamour of life on the Riviera, and combines deft plotting with a dash of humour. This is the first edition to have been published in more than sixty years and follows the rediscovery of Bude's long-neglected detective writing by the British Library.
