Описание: Mr. and Mrs. North stumble upon a corpse-and fall backward into murder. Jerry and Pamela North's upstairs apartment has been empty as long as they can remember. It's an ordinary Greenwich Village abode, and the Norths are ordinary Villagers-which means they can't bear to go more than a few days between cocktail parties. So when Pamela decides to stage a soiree in the empty apartment, Jerry goes along begrudgingly. But what seems inconvenient becomes felonious the moment they find a dead man in the tub. He has been bludgeoned, stripped naked, and left to rot. The party is most certainly off. Which neighbor was rude enough to leave a body in the upstairs tub? Though they should know better, Mr. and Mrs. North can't resist getting involved. Before they know it, they're right in the thick of a manhunt, and Greenwich Village will never be the same. The Norths Meet Murder is the 1st book in the Mr. and Mrs. North Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. "You'll want to read it. . . . A distinct addition to the annals of modern crime." -The New York Times Praise for the Mr. and Mrs. North Mysteries "Class A." -The Saturday Review of Literature on Murder Out of Turn "One of the funniest and most satisfactory mysteries in this excellent series." -The New Yorker on Payoff for the Banker Frances and Richard Lockridge were some of the most popular names in mystery during the forties and fifties.

The Lockridges continued writing together until Frances's death in 1963, after which Richard discontinued the Mr. and Mrs. North series and wrote other works until his own death in 1982.

Описание: Raintree County, the first novel by Ross Lockridge, Jr., was the publishing event of 1948. Excerpted in Life magazine, it was a Book-of-the-Month Club Main Selection, won MGM's Novel Award and a movie deal, and stood at the top of the nation's bestseller lists. Unfortunately, Lockridge's first novel was also his last. Two months after its publication the 33-year-old author from Bloomington, Indiana, took his own life. His son Larry was five years old at the time. Shade of the Raintree is Larry's search for an understanding of his father's baffling act. In this powerfully narrated biography, Larry Lockridge uncovers a man of great vitality, humor, love, and visionary ambition, but also of deep vulnerability. The author manages to combine a son's emotional investments with a sleuth's dispassionate inquiry. The result is an exhilarating, revelatory narrative of an American writer's life. With a new preface by the author, this 2014 paperback edition marks 100 years since the birth of Ross Lockridge, Jr.

Описание: " An] excellent series." --The New Yorker
For this husband-and-wife sleuthing team, there's no vacation from murder . . .
In a remote cabin far from New York City, Jerry and Pamela North are getting killed. On the brink of annihilation, they grit their teeth and battle back. In a moment, the fight is finished--and the Norths are named mixed doubles champions. It's a happy moment during a splendid vacation, but off the tennis court, all is not well. Following an afternoon of fun and games, the evening will take a deadly turn.
Mr. and Mrs. North have invited their closest friends--an ex-aviator, a doctor, and a New York Police Department lieutenant--to join them on this friendly retreat, but the joviality ends when someone is found lying across the path, a knife buried in her neck. A member of the group surely killed her, and unless the Norths act quickly, the murderer is sure to strike again . . .
"Quite aside from the delightful privilege that it affords of meeting the Norths again, this book is distinctly worthwhile on its merits as a mystery alone." --The New York Time
