I am afraid I don't understand you, Mr. Lyne. Odette Rider looked gravely at the young man who lolled against his open desk. Her clear skin was tinted with the faintest pink, and there was in the sober depths of those grey eyes of hers a light which would have warned a man less satisfied with his own genius and power of persuasion than Thornton Lyne. He was not looking at her face. His eyes were running approvingly over her perfect figure, noting the straightness of the back, the fine poise of the head, the shapeliness of the slender hands. He pushed back his long black hair from his forehead...

On a January evening of the early seventies, Christine Nilsson was singing in Faust at the Academy of Music in New York. Though there was already talk of the erection, in remote metropolitan distances "above the Forties," of a new Opera House which should compete in costliness and splendour with those of the great European capitals, the world of fashion was still content to reassemble every winter in the shabby red and gold boxes of the sociable old Academy. Conservatives cherished it for being small and inconvenient, and thus keeping out the "new people" whom New York was beginning to dread...

Justice-without jury, without appeal and without mercy These are stories of the Four Just Men, Edgar Wallace's famous characters known to the wider public principally as a result of the early television series of the same name. The source material is, of course, far removed from its celluloid derivative. Far from being set in the world post WW2, the original stories take place in the colourful period immediately following the Great War. The principal characters remain a refreshing antidote to stereotypical heroes for they are group of ruthless and dedicated vigilantes, disillusioned with...

He had been shot in his tracks on a night of snow and storm. When the police got him to the mortuary and searched his clothes they found a little tin box of white powder which proved to be cocaine, and a playing card -- the Jack of Clubs
The dead man was named "Snow" Gregory, for he was a doper . . . and some said he might have been proving a little awkward to Colonel Dan Boundary, his associate -- who might have felt a bit relieved to hear of Gregory's icy demise . . . except for the arrival of an envelope addressed to the Colonel, containing only a playing card, the Knave of Clubs --...

Edgar Wallace's famous-though inconspicuous detective This is the first volume of the complete collected stories featuring Mr. J G Reeder of the Department of Public Prosecutions. Edgar Wallace's sleuth-whose territory is the London of the 1920s-is an unlikely figure, more bank clerk than detective in appearance, ever wearing his square topped bowler, frock coat, cravat and muffler, Mr Reeder is usually inseparable from his umbrella. With his thin mournful face many might mistake him for an undertaker, but appearances can be deceiving. It is the mind of Mr J G Reeder that his greatest...

This is the second volume in Leonaur's collected tales about the mild mannered investigator from the Department of Public Prosecutions-Mr J G Reeder. Edgar Wallace created several characters about whom he wrote a series of stories, but few have captured the public imagination more than Mr. Reeder himself. This book contains another substantial helping from Mr Reeder's casebooks including Red Aces, Mr J. G. Reeder Returns, The Guv'nor & The Man Who Passed. All the Reeder stories are gathered together in two matching Leonaur volumes-available in softcover or hardcover with dust jacket-making...
