The Layton Court Mystery (The Roger Sheringham Cases)
by Anthony BerkeleyThe renowned British crime writer&’s classic locked-room Golden Age mystery that introduced amateur sleuth Roger Sheringham. A party at Layton Court, the country house of Victor Stanworth, is disrupted when the host is found shot through the forehead in his own library, a suicide as far as the police are concerned. After all, the gun is found in his hand, a note has been left, and the room is locked from the inside. But one of the guests, author Roger Sheringham, has his doubts. The bullet wound is not positioned where it could have been easily self-inflicted. With a house full of partygoers and servants, suspects abound. It will take Sheringham&’s sharp wit and fearless investigating to deduce who brought the festivities to a fatal end. The founder of the Detection Club in London, along with Agatha Christie and other writers, Anthony Berkeley wrote numerous novels, sometimes using the pseudonyms Francis Iles and A. Monmouth Platts. The Layton Court Mystery is his first book in the Roger Sheringham Cases, which includes The Poisoned Chocolates Case and The Silk Stocking Murders, among other titles. &“Certainly, Berkeley&’s short and fascinating career deserves to be saluted. For fans of the classic English crime novel, his books remain enjoyable to this day. Nobody has ever done ironic ingenuity better than Anthony Berkeley.&” —Mystery Scene &“He was one of the most influential crime novelists of the 1920s and 1930s, but has languished somewhat in obscurity since. A troubled, dark, incredibly innovative writer . . .&” —Shedunnit

And, oh, what a villain! Lazarus is the definition of a one-sitting read!&” —Jeffery Deaver, New York Times best-selling author of The Goodbye Man Sometimes the past won't stay buried.All across Europe, the most ruthless criminals are suffering gruesome deaths. At first, it seems coincidental that their underworld affiliations are finally catching up to them. But when two of the victims are found to have disturbing connections to Detective Joona Linna, it becomes clear that there&’s a single killer at work. Still, police are reluctant to launch an investigation. If a mysterious vigilante is making their jobs easier, why stand in his way? Joona, however, is convinced this is no would-be hero. These deaths serve a much darker purpose. Desperate for help, Joona turns to Saga Bauer. If his hunch is correct, she&’s one of the few people who stands a chance at bringing this criminal mastermind down. But Saga is fighting her own demons—and the killer knows just how to use them to his advantage. He continues to strike with impunity, and no one, it seems, is safe. When the killer begins targeting those closest to Saga and Joona, it appears more and more likely that Joona has been right all along, and that tracking down the person responsible will force him to confront a ghost from his past . . . the most terrifying villain he&’s ever had to face.

The Lazarus Tree
by Robert Richardson"You've got to take Medmelton superstitions on board as well. There are legends--and a lot of people believe them. 'Young men beware, if they be wise, a maiden with Medmelton eyes.' Did you notice Michelle's eyes? The colors are not the usual way round. She has the green one on the right." "Is that meant to be significant?" "It's the mirror image and very rare. The old wives' tale is that everything is reversed in women who have it. Good is bad, Hell is Heaven, the Devil is God." * "An astute amateur detective whose wits keep getting sharper with each puzzle plot" says The New York Times Book Review of Augustus Maltravers, England's canny playwright-cum-sleuth. In his fifth outing, a sojourn in the tiny and insular village of Medmelton throws Gus up against an ancient curse and a modern murder. The legend of the Lazarus Tree in St. Leonard's churchyard is an unlovely one. Centuries ago, it is said, a young woman raised her fiancé from the dead, with horrifying results. Gus arrives in Medmelton to find the townsfolk silent and hostile with regard to the tree--and with regard to the poet who met a violent death beneath its branches over a year earlier. Now, strange objects are appearing among the roots of the Lazarus Tree--a lock of hair, a bunch of wildflowers, a vial of blood--and Gus is worried that the introverted stepdaughter of a good friend may be involved. Michelle's eyes, one green, one brown, are Medmelton's mark of a witch, and if Maltravers pries too hard, he may find himself marked for murder. Young men beware if they be wise....
