Book Description
The Spectral Strangler (1934) – Silent, horrible as the crushing coils of a serpent were those unseen fingers that blotted out men’s lives. A criminal of satanic proportions had risen —the “Black Master,” whose victims fell with livid, hideous faces and protruding tongues that seemed a ghastly mockery of the fate they had suffered. Along this terrible murder trail Secret Agent “X” gambled with the Dice of Death. Secret Agent “X” is a master of disguise and his true identity is never revealed. He adopts several different identities in each story. What we do know about “X” is that he served in the War (World War I) in intelligence and was wounded from which he got an X shaped scar. He is a dedicated crime-fighter working undercover for the U.S. government, although this is unknown to local police who consider him an outlaw. His true role is known only to newspaper reporter Betty Dale and his mysterious Washington controller, K-9. Chapter I – Murder in the Night Chapter II – A Daring Disguise Chapter III – Murder Club Chapter IV – A Cipher Solved Chapter V – Greenford’s Double Chapter VI – The House of Mystery Chapter VII – The Tigress! Chapter VIII – Leaden Threat Chapter IX – The Black Master’s Threat Chapter X – A Brilliant Gathering Chapter XI – The Dead Are Silent Chapter XII – The Ninth Victim Chapter XIII – Guns of Death Chapter XIV – To the Death Chapter XV – Taken for a Ride Chapter XVI – The Black Master’s Orders Chapter XVII – Flowers of Death Chapter XVIII – The Man Hunt Begins Chapter XIX – The Spies’ Nest Chapter XX – The Spy’s Bargain Chapter XXI – The Chamber of Death Chapter XXII – The Man Behind the Mask

Book Description
"In 1916, two brash, young men with ten quarts of Scotch and a touch of genius faked a new school of poetry and set the critical world on its ear. Former Poet Laureate William Jay Smith retells the story of America's most successful literary spoof with all its twists and turns. This long out-of-print volume with Smith's updated preface relates the hoax to our current cultural scene, and includes the entire text of Spectra."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Description
Before the New York Times bestselling success of Defending Jacob, William Landay wrote this widely acclaimed second novel of crime and suspense, which was named a Favorite Crime Novel of the Year by the Los Angeles Times and several other newspapers. Boston, 1963. Meet the charming, brawling Daley brothers. Joe is a cop whose gambling habits have dragged him down into the city’s underworld. Michael is a lawyer, always the smartest man in the room. And Ricky is the youngest son, a prince of thieves whose latest heist may be his last. For the Daleys, crime is the family business—they’re simply on different sides of it. Then a killer, a man who hunts women with brutal efficiency and no sign of stopping, strikes too close to the Daley home. The brothers unite to find the Strangler, a journey that leads to the darkest corners of Boston—and exposes an even deeper mystery that threatens to tear the family apart. Includes an excerpt of Defending Jacob NAMED ONE OF THE BEST CRIME NOVELS OF THE YEAR BY Los Angeles Times • The Guardian • St. Louis Post-Dispatch • The Kansas City Star “Reminiscent of Dennis Lehane’s Mystic River, the novel takes us into a dark world where goodness is smothered and villainy thrives. . . . I was completely riveted.”—The Boston Globe “A dense and satisfying novel of crime and retribution . . . [Landay has] been touted as the natural successor to George V. Higgins.”—The Independent “A gripping, atmospheric saga.”—The Wall Street Journal “An impressive and satisfying performance.”—The Washington Post “Smart and surprising.”—Esquire

Book Description
The Stranglers have outlasted and outsold virtually every other band of their era, recording ten hit albums and releasing 21 Top 40 singles. Their list of hits, including Golden Brown, were written against a background of spectacular success, dismal failure, drug dependency, financial ruin, infighting and misfortune. As a response to David Buckley's one-sided biography of the band ("No Mercy" Hodder & Stoughton, 1997) and the band’s reticence to reveal the true meaning behind their songs, Hugh Cornwell, founding member and songwriter, sets the record straight, displaces the myths and for the first time explains the real stories behind The Stranglers, his departure and the origins of their songs.
