A calliope's shrill siren song beckons to all with a seductive promise of dreams and youth regained. In this season of dying, Cooger & Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show has come to Green Town, Illinois, to destroy every life touched by its strange and sinister mystery. And two inquisitive boys standing precariously on the brink of adulthood will soon discover the secret of the satanic raree-show's smoke, mazes, and mirrors, as they learn all too well the heavy cost of wishes - and the stuff of nightmare. ungekürzt.

    Rebecca , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 136min
    I glanced at the other passengers, then back at her. "This your only bag?" She nodded. "You got something in there fit for riding?" She nodded again. "Put it on, you're going with me." She turned and went behind the stagecoach. One of the passengers, a plump elderly woman with a shrill voice and didn't seem to mind using it yelled, "You can't take her!" "She can stay if she wants to," I told her. She returned shortly wearing a man's outfit. It only accentuated her curves. I helped her into the saddle. "Move your foot so's I can get up behind you." I slid my boot into the stirrup and swung up behind her. The top of her head rested under my chin. I inhaled deeply. "It's been too long," I thought. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Case of the Sapphire Brooch (eBook, ePUB)
    It wasn't easy to forget the frightened hostility in her face and the shrill hysteria of her voice when she'd closed and bolted the door.Who were the intruders who left bloodstains and a sapphire brooch in Paul Farrell's flat? And, since nothing was taken, why should that flat be burgled at all? That problem was only the beginning. What, for instance, had become of Farrell's wife? And of the girl adopted by the vicar's sister? And why should that sister plant bulbs on a stranger's grave? And why should a Soho head-waiter, doing pretty well for himself, suddenly commit suicide?These were only some of the problems confronting Ludovic Travers and his old friends, Matthews and Jewle of Scotland Yard. A tangle, indeed, of intrigue, blackmail and murder that seemed unsolvable: and yet, when finally resolved, makes the reader wonder why he had not found the answers long before. This is vintage Christopher Bush.The Case of the Sapphire Brooch was originally published in 1960. This new edition features an introduction by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans."Freshness both of plot and writing." Anthony Berkeley"Travers continues to be a wholly satisfying creation." Alan Hunter
