"Murder's an ugly thing " Detective Inspector Haig said. "Maybe you'll not want to attend the funeral."
As the door closed, Thelma said, "I know one funeral I wouldn't mind attending."
With a million-dollar secret in his possession, a mysterious stranger travels from Australia to London to meet violent death just before he can accomplish his mission. And it is up to Rex Haig, of Scotland Yard, to find not only the stranger's murderer but to fathom his generation-dead reason for this most bizarre of visits.
Rex Haig uses a minor villain as bait to catch the killers--only to be led deeper into a baffling puzzle involving beautiful heiress Joan Hamilton; Tony Miller and his jealous mistress; operators of a confidence swindle of staggering proportions; and most bizarre of all, the mad occupant of the gloomy, castle-like Towers--an old man whose passion is playing with dolls
The Body on the Pavement was originally published in 1942. This new edition includes an introduction by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans.

Описание: Personal trainers, personal shoppers and borderline personality disorders fill the daily void of Thom Thompson III, a young, rising sitcom star whose pampered Hollywood existence has become even more two-dimensional than the nihilistic character he portrays on TV. When Thom's estranged twin shows up on set and begins impersonating him (after a lengthy hibernation shooting gay porn), Thom's keen sense of denial instinctively seeks refuge in crystal meth. But a voicemail from his father, whom his valium-popping mother "accidentally" murdered decades ago, pushes an already fragile Thom over the edge.

Описание:
A historical novel set in England in 1585. Bess Stoughton, waiting woman to the well-connected Lady Allingbourne, has discovered that her father is arranging for her to marry an elderly neighbour. Normally obedient Bess rebels and wrests from her father a year's grace to find a husband more to her liking. Edmund Wyard, a taciturn and scarred veteran of England's campaign in Ireland, is attempting to ignore the pressure from his family to find a suitable wife as he prepares to join the Earl of Leicester's army in the Netherlands. Although Bess and Edmund are drawn to each other, they are aware that they can have nothing more than friendship. Bess knows that Edmund's wealth and family connections place him beyond her reach. And Edmund, with his well-honed sense of duty, has never considered that he could follow his own wishes. With England on the brink of war and fear of Catholic plots extending even into Lady Allingbourne's household, time is running out for both of them.
