Описание:
2020 Reprint of 1959 Edition. Profusely Illustrated with Photographs. Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. "The lives of Thelma and Gloria Morgan, the twin daughters of Harry Hays Morgan, an American diplomat, and Chilean-born Louise Valdivieso, read like a curious synthesis of The Turn of The Screw and Confidential. Deeply attached to one another through their twinship, - the sisters, Thelma who later became Lady Furness and Gloria, who married Reggie Vanderbilt and mothered Gloria Vanderbilt II -- write of their lives simultaneously, switching the narrative from woman to woman with fascinating ease. There is much here which will attract the socially curious -- tales of the Prince of Wales, Aly Kahn, the titan playboys of the twentieth century as seen by these women who were more than formally involved with them. There are shades here, too, of Stella Dallas- the shocking trial for the custody of Gloria Vanderbilt II in which Louise Morgan, clutching a crucifix, testified to outrageous acts of licentiousness committed by her bewildered daughter. And there is much finally of epic stature-the Medea-like grandeur with which the ancient dowagers of New York society mediated upon the lives of their families. Written with good taste, but sparing no detail no matter how unorthodox, this autobiography of two women is a biography of an age, an age of fantastic extravagance and rigid form, an age in which the various episodes unfolded here seem probable for all their bizarre and melodramatic overtones. Superbly entertaining."--Kirkus.
Описание: A riveting, immersive thriller from the author of Thunder Bay--"If you don't know Skelton, now's the time" (Ian Rankin). When a man in eighteenth-century Highland dress is found dead on the site of the Battle of Culloden, where Bonnie Prince Charlie led his forces to a rout seared into Scottish memory, Rebecca Connolly takes up the case for the Chronicle. A controversial film about the rebellion and battle is being shot nearby, and it has drawn the ire of the right-wing nationalist movement Spirit of the Gael. Is there some link between the murder--the weapon used to impale the man leaves no doubt it was murder--and Spirit of the Gael or the shadowy militant group New Dawn, thought to be associated with them? Meanwhile, in the working-class part of town, Rebecca's assignment to cover a protest against the placement of a convicted child molester into the community leads her to Mo Burke, the unlikely protest leader. Mo is a formidable woman, but she is also the matriarch of a known crime family and usually prefers to shun the spotlight. What has drawn her out? And what of her two grown sons, who share in the family business? The older one, Nolan, with Ben Affleck good looks, is clearly intrigued by Rebecca, as she is by him, despite her better instincts to steer clear of their dangerous, violent world. And then another body is found, this one wearing the Redcoat uniform of the victorious British army.

When Society throws you overboard - who can YOU turn to?
Try the trio from Firefly Electrics
A new breed of Public Protectors...
Meet the Aussie Avengers today in Kangaroo Court, the fast-paced, laugh-out-loud sequel to the #1 Best-Selling dark comedy crime thriller, Justice Machine*.
In Kangaroo Court: Lennie, Joe, and their cockatoo, Rawcus, are touring inside a mountain forest when they discover an abandoned campervan - and a pair of stringless tennis racquets. Who would own such objects, and why?
The deeper into the forest they venture, the more mysterious things they find. They're soon headlong on a mission to save strangers from a terrifying ordeal among the trees.
Meanwhile, their partner in a secret botanical business is abducted, forcing Lennie and Joe to confront demons from their past. Can they save the childlike young man they call The Chemist?
If that's not enough to juggle, their friend Pauline Gerrity rings an alarm from her refuge for abused women and children. Her call leads Lennie and Joe to create a sculpture they title Cocoon of Man and hang anonymously from an inner-city tree. A leading art critic likens their work to the British street artist, Banksy. But when the critic adds that the mysterious tree-hangers must be "borderline psychos", Lennie and Joe aren't sure whether to be flattered or insulted.
--- Artful avengers, dangerous subversives, lovely young men. Lennie, Joe, and Rawcus have heard it all. It's all true. ---
Suburban Sydney electricians by day, they fight crime in the shadows of the city; crime the establishment can't touch, won't touch, or gives a sly nod to.
Lennie calls it re-wiring society. Joe reckons they're simply fixing bad people. Rawcus, who grew up in a pub, just wants a cold beer after a hard day on the power grid.
Now they're wanted for Crimes against Crime.
More Pulp Fiction. Less Jack Reacher. All Sweet Aussie Justice.
"These eccentric inner-city crusaders are a whole new adventure in crime capers and my favourite series of the year so far...quirky and refreshingly wry." Tom Flood, Winner of the Miles Franklin Award, Australia's equivalent of the US Pulitzer Prize for fiction and the UK Booker Prize.
"Redolent of 'Lord Of The Flies' and 'Of Mice And Men'...A post-Zen Batman and Robin...Lennie and Joe, and their pet, Rawcus, configure a doctorate in elegant, fair-minded Gonzo retribution of the order of Pulp Fiction." Clare AK - Writers Vic.
*Justice Machine hit #1 Best-Seller on Amazon Australia at launch in August 2020 (under Criminals Humour). Kangaroo Court hit #2 Best-Seller in the same category on release in November 2020, and both books featured at #2 and #3 respectively on Amazon's Hot New Releases charts.
