While visiting her sister, a woman becomes ensnared in a cursed house. Serena's last memories of California are of her sister Amanda's wedding to Sutton Condit, a wealthy rancher from Monterey's oldest family. But when she remembers those days, she doesn't think of the bride but instead dreams of Jem, a sturdy young man who won her heart so completely that, when she couldn't have him, she fled to New York. Four years later she returns for a visit, and Jem is as charming as ever. He hasn't changed, but everything else on the Condit ranch has. Bitterness has crept into Amanda's entourage, and strange secrets pollute the fine California air. Something terrible is afoot in the Condit mansion, and Serena has just begun to sense it when Sutton's aunt tumbles off a cliff near the house. The old woman's plunge seems like an accident until more murders follow. Nothing can protect Serena from the menace that haunts Monterey. Review Quote. "Suspense to the very end." - The New York Times "You can't beat Mignon Eberhart." - New York Herald Tribune "One of the great ladies of twentieth-century mystery fiction." - John Jakes, author of the Kent Family Chronicles Biographical note. Mignon G. Eberhart (1899-1996) wrote dozens of mystery novels over a nearly six decade-long career. Born in Lincoln, Nebraska, she began writing in high school, trading English essays to her fellow students in exchange for math homework. She attended Nebraska Wesleyan University, and in the 1920s began writing fiction in her spare time, publishing her first novel, The Patient in Room 18, in 1929. With the follow-up, While The Patient Slept (1931), she won a §5,000 Scotland Yard Prize, and by the end of the 1930's was one of the most popular female mystery writers on the planet. Before Agatha Christie ever published a Miss Marple novel, Eberhart was writing romantic crime fiction with female leads. Eight of her books, including While the Patient Slept and Hasty Wedding (1938) were adapted as films. Made a Mystery Writers of America grandmaster in 1971, Eberhart continued publishing roughly a book a year until the 1980s. Her final novel Three Days for Emeralds, was published in 1988.

FIRST LADIES OF SPEED Die faszinierende Geschichte der schnellsten Frauen des 20. Jahrhunderts, auf der Straße, im Wasser und in der Luft. Wir möchten die Geschichten und Abenteuer all jener Frauen beschreiben, die sich seit Anfang der Motorisierung gegen alle Widerstände aufgemacht haben um zu zeigen, dass Frauen im Motorsport, ebenso wie in der Fliegerei, in der Lage sind großartiges und nie dagewesenes zu leisten. Diese Frauen waren durch ihre Entschlossenheit und ihren Mut in der Lage sich nicht nur mit den Männern Ihrer Zeit auf Augenhöhe zu messen, sondern neue Rekorde dort aufzustellen wohin die Herren der Schöpfung sich oftmals nicht hin trauten. Gleich fallen uns Namen ein, wie Elli Beinhorn, Amelia Earhart oder die unvergleichliche Clärenore Stinnes. Wer aber erinnert sich noch an Odette Siko, Mildred Bruce oder die erste schwarze Pilotin Bessie Coleman, die durch einen tragischen Fehler ihres Mechanikers ums Leben kam. Bücher und Berichte über die männlichen Helden des Rennsports gibt es tausende, aber nur wenige erzählen die ganze Geschichte. Die der Menschen, die Sport betrieben und Rekorde errungen haben aus Leidenschaft, unabhängig vom Geschlecht des Sportlers. Wir sehen in allen diesen Lebensgeschichten: Das Geschlecht spielt keine Rolle, die Herkunft ist nicht wichtig, das Alter kein Hindernis. Alles was zählt ist die Vision, der Glaube an sich selbst, und der Mut das zu tun was die innere Stimme einem sagt.

Miss Strange proves who is behind a series of high society thefts. It would seem to be one of group of friends known as „The Inseparables” with suspicion focused on one of the young ladies in particular.

<p> A melodramatic mystery, in which a young lawyer is called to the house of a dying woman to draw up her will. While searching for her legal heirs, meets a beautiful woman with a mysterious scar. The lawyer soon finds that his search for the heirs leads to some very unusual occurrences. Events then take a very sinister turn... As ever, with Anna Katherine Green, this early novel features love-struck young men; high-minded ladies with a propensity to faint, and whose reticence is essential to the plot; plus detailed legal knowledge. This one also has a particularly melodramatic villain. Green’s stories are full of mystery and written in an elegant manner, true to the time period in which the story is set.</p>

<p> Following the phenomenal popularity of „Sketches by Boz”, Dickens produced two short volumes of „Sketches of Young Gentlemen” and „Sketches Young Couples"’. Dedicated to „The Young Ladies of the United Kingdom of Great Britain” as well as to other young ladies, „Sketches of Young Gentlemen” scrutinizes in a very witty and humorous fashion certain familiar characteristics of Victorian men and women. Indeed, the sketches center around certain social stereotypes developed by the author. Whimsical, satirical, witty and exuberant, the sketches ridicule the behavior of their subjects with perfect comic effect, offering fascinating evidence of a writer learning his craft and refining his style. To modern readers, these sketches reveal a hidden facet of the great Victorian novelist as they give a glimpse of his little-known beginnings. Highly recommended!</p>
