Описание:

"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.
