The Chelsea Murders (1978) was Lionel Davidson's seventh novel, earning him the Crime Writer's Association Gold Dagger Award and prompting the Daily Telegraph to declare, 'Lionel Davidson is one of the best and most versatile thriller writers we have.'

A terrifying, grotesque figure bursts into a young art student's room. Head covered with a clown's wig, face concealed by a smiling mask, it wears the rubber gloves of a surgeon. The girl is seized, chloroformed, suffocated and - horrifyingly - beheaded. This is only the beginning of a series of murders terrorising London's fashionable bohemia. The police target three avant-garde filmmakers. One of them is mocking the other two, and openly taunting the police as well. But which of them is behind these appalling crimes?

Fast paced, terrifying and gripping, this is a page-turning thriller from a master.

Investigative journalist Raul Santos plummets to his death from his 8th- floor Madrid flat. Did he jump, fall or was he pushed? A second body found in very gruesome circumstances adds to the workload of Superintendent Luis Bernal, who already has to cope with his pious wife and her appalling cooking, a demanding but loving young mistress, the suspicions of his political masters (who turn out to have very political ambitions) and the introduction of Spain's first female detective to his elite squad. Is there a secret police spying on the police? And just who in authority can be trusted? For this is Spain in "The Transition" (1975-1982) the period of national uncertainty between the end of decades of Fascism and the establishment of parliamentary democracy. With Government ministries and agencies concentrating on fighting each other for power in the new state, it soon becomes clear that political plotting takes precedence over mere murder enquiries. And one spectacular plot is about to come to fruition on Easter Saturday (Sabado Santo) at the tomb of the recently deceased General Franco.
Written during the years of "The Transition" by Oxford professor Ian David Lewis Michael under the pen-name David Serafin, this first novel to feature Luis Bernal was an critical success in Britain, America and Spain, where the Bernal books are also being republished. Saturday of Glory won the 1979 Crime Writers' Association's John Creasey Award for best first novel.

Инспектор Морс мог бы провести отпуск в Греции вместо того, чтобы расследовать дело, признанное его коллегами безнадежным. Но уж больно его заинтересовало убийство помощника викария – тем более, что он видит здесь двойное убийство, ибо смерть самого викария, считающаяся самоубийством, может таковым вовсе не быть. И чем глубже Морс погружается в тайны благочестивых прихожан, тем больше растет список жертв...

A medieval script launches a modern treasure
hunt lightly dusted with black humor...
William Dougal is a postgraduate student of history with expensive tastes and low moral fibre. He is the sort who is as likely to commit murders as to solve them. Thus it is that when he stumbles on the garotted corpse of his detested tutor, he doesn't call the police. Instead, he slips away, intent on avoiding a row with his girlfriend. Naturally, his actions don't go undetected. Enter the suave James Hanbury with the reminder that the dead man was an authority on Caroline Minuscule, a Medieval script that may convey a very modern message. Douglas is pushed into--or rather drives his Morris Mini onto--a slippery slope which leads toward a cache of diamonds--and more murders....
""In William Dougal, Andrew Taylor has created one of the most attractive amateur detectives in fiction.""--Harriet Waugh, The Spectator.
And so his 1982 debut, the first of eight Dougal capers, won the John Creasey (Best First Novel) Award from the Crime Writers Association and was shortlisted for the 1983 Edgar Allan Poe Award.
