Описание:
An unusually rewarding anthology whose most dangerous species remain Homo sapiens.-- Kirkus Reviews
Feline friends, canine companions and aviary associates are often the truest reflections of their owners and have played a crucial role in classic crime fiction--be they detectives, or delinquents. Martin Edwards reaches into the British Library of Crime Classics to collect mysteries featuring an animal cohort.
Guilty Creatures celebrates an often-overlooked species of classic crime fiction. Since the dawn of the crime fiction genre, animals of all kinds have played a memorable part in countless mysteries, and in a variety of roles: the perpetrator, the key witness, the sleuth's trusted companion. This collection of fourteen stories corrals plots centered around cats, dogs, and insects alongside more exotic incidents involving gorillas, parakeets, and serpents--complete with a customary shoal of red herrings.
The collection includes an introduction on animals in detective fiction by Martin Edwards. From the first detective story, Edgar Allan Poe's locked room puzzle 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue' onwards, animals, birds, and insects have played a memorable part in countless mysteries, and in a wide variety of ways. Count Fosco, the brilliantly characterized villain in Wilkie Collins's The Woman in White was surrounded by a cockatoo, two canary-birds and a whole family of white mice, while the hound of the Baskervilles famously terrorised Dartmoor in Arthur Conan Doyle's superb Sherlock Holmes novel. Since then, many crime writers have written about members of the animal kingdom.
Описание: Francoise-Athenais de Rochechouart de Mortemart had to have Louis, King of France, but his other mistresses stood in the way. Then she meets the very helpful sorceress and Athenais gets her wish. But soon Louis hears tales of witchcraft and poison, a conspiracy spreading through his court—like the beasts in the Versailles menagerie, courtesans are clawing their way to his favor, and his bed. He orders Lieutenant General of Police Gabriel-Nicolas de la Reynie to investigate. Mysterious deaths mount while La Reynie presses on, hauling in witches, charlatans, and the nobility alike. Grimy fingers point to Athenais, the Kings mistress, with whispers of a black mass celebrated over her naked body. Then La Reynie discovers a plot to kill her.

Описание: This exquisite exhibition catalogue brings together over one hundred of Carl Fabergé’s most beautiful creations combining hardstones and other precious materials.

Описание: Classic tales of crime detection featuring Byomkesh Bakshi, the master inquisitor. Written long before Satyajit Rays Feluda series, Saradindu Bandyopadhyays Byomkesh Bakshi mysteries heralded a new era in Bengali popular fiction . Set in the old-world Kolkata, three stories featuring the astute investigator and his chronicler friend Ajit are still as gripping and delightful as when they first appeared. Byomkeshs world, peopled with wonderfully delineated characters and framed by a brilliantly captured pre-Independence urban milieu, is fascinating because of its cotemporary flavour, In the first story, Byomkesh works undercover to expose an organized crime ring trafficking in drugs. In the Gramophone Pin Mystery, he must put his razor-sharp intellect to good used to unearth the pattern behind a series of bizarre roadside murders. In Clalamity Strikes, the ace detective is called upon to investigate the strange and sudden death of a girl in a neighbours kitchen, In the next story, he has to lock horns with an old enemy who has vowed to kill him with an innocuous but deadly weapon. And, in Picture Imperfect, Byomkesh unravels a complex mystery involving a stolen group photograph, an amorous couple, and an apparently unnecessary murder.
