Trouble is What I Do (Point Blank)
ISBN: 9780809511563 / Angielski / Miękka / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Ben Perkins is back It feels so good to say that. Twenty-three years ago, when Rob Kantner introduced his Detroit PI in the short story "C Is for Cookie," he probably had no idea he was heralding in a new era of mystery fiction.

Peter Ruff and the Double Four
ISBN: 9781421841212 / Angielski / Twarda / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The whole epitome of modern life was, he argued, to be found among the columns of the daily press. The police news, perhaps, was his favourite study, but he did not neglect the advertisements. It followed, therefore, as a matter of course, that the appeal of "M" in the personal column of the Daily Mail was read by him on the morning of its appearance - read not once only nor twice - it was a paragraph which had its own peculiar interest for him.

Rider Haggard, Rudyard Kipling, Robert Louis Stevenson, and H.G. Wells. Canadian... The period from the early 1880s through the First World War has been called "The Golden Age of the Storytellers."
