Реджинальд Хилл - английский писатель, житель Йоркшира, куда он поселил и главных героев почти всех своих романов. Известность ему принес роман "Общительная женщина" (1970), в котором он впервые познакомил читателей со своими героями - начальником уголовного розыска Эндрю Дэлзиелом и его молодым помощником Питером Паско. Эти яркие колоритные образы сразу полюбились читателям. За годы с 1972 по 1990-й Хиллом были написаны еще девять романов, в том числе "Детская игра" (1987) и "Прах и безмолвие" (1990).

Sophisticated, complex plotting at the center of the Anglican Church. *First in the Canterbury Cathedral trilogy, all to come from F&M. *First time in U.S. paperback. *Mysteries of church intrigue are very popular with mystery readers.* Clerical setting and sophisticated prose will combine to appeal to fans of Julia Spencer Fleming - note that this is the Anglican Church, rather than Roman Catholic, and has nothing to do with The Da Vinci Code. * Shades of Blount and Burgess glimmer in--of all places- -Canterbury Cathedral... Echoes of le Carr, about in this elegantly written ... first novel, full of the ritual, pomp, and underpinnings of the great cathedral - Kirkus. *A splendid mix of the ecclesiastical, homicidal, political, and espionage ... altogether, an impressive first novel - TheTimes (of London). *A good ecclesiastical thriller is a rarity. Grab this one. It's a treat. - The Observer (UK)

The eldest son of Queen Victoria, Bertie will one day be King Edward VII. For the moment, though, his primary responsibility is to enjoy himself, a task at which he excels - bedding society beauties, tormenting his long-suffering wife, and taking his royal bulk off to other people's country estates, there to shoot things, eat enormous meals, and pinch the serving maids. It is at just such an estate that the story unfolds, though this is no ordinary shooting-party, and with a killer afoot, the glittering guest-list is dwindling rapidly. Bertie greets the murders with some delight, as they allow him to exercise his passion for amateur sleuthing (a task at which he doesn't particularly excel). Lovesey wrote Seven Bodies as an homage to Agatha Christie, but he laced his classically structured puzzle with his own sly wit, gleefully poking fun at the pomposities of privilege. Utterly charming ...what a delight! - New York Times A delicious option for fans of Agatha Christie and Anne Perry

He is in his forty-third year and knee-deep in murder. Well, what's new? Sholto Lestrade of Scotland Yard wouldn't have it any other way.. "The first fatality in a bizarre series of killings is a Captain of the Second Life Guards, found in the River Thames with a war medal wedged between his teeth. Then a dead Egyptologist is discovered with a scarab clamped between his molars. When a young soldier is found dead in the saddle (this time a locket is the dying mouthful), Lestrade is forced to impersonate a barrack-room lawyer.. "His hunt for clues takes him on a near-fatal trip in a hot-air balloon, on a disastrous bicycle tour ending with a night in jail, and to London's East End, where he must prevent a confrontation between rival gangs.

In this true crime reprint, Jonathan Goodman focuses his masterful detective skills on a criminal case that has inspired several novels, among them John O'Hara's Butterfield 8, which became a major feature film. The discovery of Starr Faithfull's body on a Long Island beach in 1931 prompted front-page headlines on both sides of the Atlantic as the events leading to her death unfolded: her clandestine, sordid love affairs (one with a former Boston mayor) and unconventional sex life; her misuse of drugs and bootleg alcohol; and details of her stepfather's unsavory business ventures, including his involvement in a murder investigation. Mindful of the still unanswered question of whether her death resulted from accident, suicide, or murder, Goodman attempts to demystify this enigmatic case. The only author granted full access to the massive police dossier, Goodman unveils through his meticulous research a startling yet credible conclusion. Chilling crime-scene photographs supplement the text.
