Pascal Passion (The Falconer Files #4)
by Andrea FrazerShepford Stacey is an unassuming little village, its greatest asset being its small but excellent Church of England Primary School. This delightfully old-fashioned establishment of only two classes, one of infants, the other of juniors, has been run by the same pair of ladies for decades. It is in the year that the headmistress, Audrey Finch-Matthews, is to retire, that the smooth running of this long-established educational establishment is interrupted by murder. When Detective Inspector Harry Falconer and Detective Sergeant Davey Carmichael of the Market Darley Police arrive to investigate, they discover a host of motives, both past and present, and grudges that reach right back through the years. As the Easter weekend grinds inexorably on its way, Death stalks the village again, and it suddenly becomes imperative that the murderer is caught before there are more fatalities. Falconer soon realises that this is not the work of an opportunistic psychopath passing through, but of someone within the small community itself, taking lives at will, and there is no indication that the slaughter will stop here.

Pascali's Island
by Barry Unsworth"A masterful tale of treachery and duplicity. . . . Spellbinding."--New York Times The year is 1908, the place, a small Greek island in the declining days of the crumbling Ottoman Empire. For twenty years Basil Pascali has spied on the people of his small community and secretly reported on their activities to the authorities in Constantinople. Although his reports are never acknowledged, never acted upon, he has received regular payment for his work. Now he fears that the villagers have found him out and he becomes engulfed in paranoia. In the midst of his panic, a charming Englishman arrives on the island claiming to be an archaeologist, and charms his way into the heart of the woman for whom Pascali pines. A complex game is played out between the two where cunning and betrayal may come to haunt them both. Pascali's Island was made into a feature film starring Ben Kingsley and Helen Mirren.
Pascoe's Ghost: And Other Brief Chronicles of Crime (The Dalziel and Pascoe Mysteries)
by Reginald HillMystery stories by the Diamond Dagger Award–winning author, “one of the masters of the modern police procedural” (The Sunday Telegraph). A man whose wife has been missing for a year gets some strange phone calls—as well as a visit from Detective Inspector Pascoe—in a novella that pays homage to Edgar Allan Poe. A female journalist faces skepticism from the police when she reports an assault, and finds she may have to confront the attacker herself. A family man wonders what sort of trouble the previous occupants of his new house were mixed up in—and finds some clues that were left behind in the move. These stories—and four more—from the author of the series starring Inspector Peter Pascoe and Superintendent Andrew Dalziel take us on a tour of the shadowy corners of Yorkshire, England, from a stormy churchyard to a gloomy attic, with tales of lust, greed, envy, and, of course, murder. “One of Britain’s most consistently excellent crime novelists.” —The Times (London) “Hill is never predictable.” —Milwaukee Journal Sentinel “Reginald Hill is quite simply one of the best at work today.” —The Boston Globe
Pase lo que Pase
by Larry DarterInspirado en una impactante historia real, Pase lo que Pase, es el primer libro de la nueva serie de misterio del detective Ben Malone, es un emocionante viaje por los bajos fondos de la Ciudad de los Ángeles. El detective de la División de Hollywood Ben Malone se ve envuelto en una racha de mala suerte. Lo peor de todo es que se ha visto envuelto en tres tiroteos mortales en menos de un año, en un momento en el que los activistas protestan por el uso de la fuerza letal por parte de la policía y provocan disturbios en todo el país. La racha de disparos ha hecho que sus superiores del Departamento de Policía de Los Ángeles se cuestionen su juicio. ¿Es demasiado rápido en el uso de la fuerza letal? Al ser relevado de sus funciones en la calle, Malone es recluido en la Sección de Homicidios de la División de Robos y Homicidios sin resolver para mantenerlo en secreto mientras se somete a la evaluación psiquiátrica exigida por el departamento. Sus problemas laborales, agravados por una ex esposa vengativa que parece querer desangrarlo económicamente, hacen que Malone entre en una espiral de depresión que pronto lo lleva a beber demasiado para intentar sobrellevarla. Inicialmente resentido por su reasignación a la sección de casos sin resolver, la actitud de Malone empieza a cambiar cuando su nuevo compañero, Jaime Reyes, le presenta los expedientes de un caso de asesinato sin resolver de hace 23 años, frío como el hielo. Cuanto más lee, más seguro está de que la teoría seguida por los investigadores iniciales, un asesinato resultante de un robo frustrado, era completamente errónea. Aunque el asesinato, que tiene décadas de antigüedad, no se ajusta a los criterios de la unidad para reabrir un caso sin resolver para una investigación activa, cuanto más estudia Malone el caso, más se obsesiona por tratar de resolverlo. Él y Reyes pronto se embarcan en una investigación "extraoficial" que, como era de esperar, crea más problemas. Especi
Pashazade (Arabesk #1)
by Jon Courtenay GrimwoodPart mystery, part speculative fiction, and wholly unforgettable, Jon Courtenay Grimwood’s celebrated Arabesk series portrays the dark, hard-boiled story of a man out to prove his innocence in an alternate world where the facts aren’t always the same as the truth ... and murder isn’t the worst that can happen. It’s a twenty-first century hauntingly familiar and yet startlingly different from our own. Here the United States brokered a deal that ended World War I, and the Ottoman Empire never collapsed. And lording it over all sits the complex, seductive, and bloodthirsty North African metropolis of El Iskandryia. Almost nothing is what it seems to be in El Isk, and Ashraf Bey is no exception. Neither the rich Ottoman aristocrat everyone thinks he is, nor the minor street criminal once shipped off to prison when he fell foul of his Chinese Triad employers–the fact is that Raf has as little idea who he is as anyone else. With few clues and no money, all Raf has is a surname hinting at noble heritage and an arranged marriage to a woman who hates him. But nothing Ashraf al Mansur learns about himself is as unexpected—-or as terrifying—-as the brutal murder he’s accused of committing. Now, as a hunted man with the welfare of a precocious young girl in his irresponsible hands, Raf must race after a killer through an unforgiving city as foreign to him as the truth he'll uncover about himself.

The job falls to a man they have named Frank Morgan-an agent who stood out as a recruit at Quantico and whose skills resemble those of the legendary Vietnam assassin. The other soldiers claim Frank’s abilities as a sniper and a tracker border on the supernatural and are more than willing to complete this mission with him.Frank begins his adventure in Afghanistan with another Company-appointed soldier: an indestructible lyrical Irishman with a cutting sense of humor and a bottle of Jameson never far from hand. After the men rescue a burqa-clad young woman, they soon discover that the Company has not been honest with them and decide to take a second mate under their wing-a giant who quotes poetry and rap songs while he both enacts torture and lives through his own agonizing trials.They know now that oil, drugs, and greed have led to this quest; assassinating the terrorists is not their main objective. However, this still must be done. After becoming dangerously acquainted with the heroin business in the frontier provinces, Frank and his comrades continue their mission. But the lines have now blurred, and the assignment is more complicated than they expected.Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade, Yucca, and Good Books imprints, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fiction-novels, novellas, political and medical thrillers, comedy, satire, historical fiction, romance, erotic and love stories, mystery, classic literature, folklore and mythology, literary classics including Shakespeare, Dumas, Wilde, Cather, and much more.

Pass Guard at Ypres: A Novel (Casemate Classic War Fiction #5)
by Ronald GurnerFrom a World War I veteran: A novel of the years-long, brutal battle at Ypres, Belgium, and what it did to the city and the men who fought there. In 1915, a platoon of inexperienced British soldiers arrives in Flanders, excited and anxious for what is to come. But they soon find themselves at Ypres, where the battle-weary Allied troops have dug in and slaughter surrounds them. Soldiers, from privates to senior officers of the wider battalion, frozen by terror and overwhelmed by the relentless stress as the battle drags on, want nothing more than to hide. Young, dedicated officer Freddy Mann is in the thick of it with his men—burying the dead, experiencing the terror of bombardment, and being picked off by snipers. On a journey from idealistic officer barely out of school to battle-hardened cynic barely hanging on as those around him are cut down, Mann suffers a crisis of faith as he loses his belief in the war and everything he once stood for. Written by a WWI veteran, Pass Guard at Ypres brings to life the harrowing realities of the Great War, portraying years of lengthy fighting in—and the pivotal strategic role of—the ancient and once-peaceful town on the bank of the Ieperlee River.
