William Harrison Ainsworth
This is a gothic classic. Very atmospheric. This amazing and attractive story, written in the highest times of our Faustian civilization, the majestic poetics of romanticism, and today, in these godforsaken times of fate and despair, shines with mysterious darkness.
Henry Bedford-Jones

Zane Grey
This is a historical novel about the American border during the American Revolutionary War. At this time, the United States border began at Fort Pitt, and the Ohio River was the main artery for entry into the dense forest, unresolved and dangerous western countries. The area west of Fort Pitt was inhabited by Indians who were incited by Detroit-based British against rebellious American colonists.

Returning by boat from Seattle, where they spent the winter, they learn that their lawsuit is being contested in court, and until the lawsuit is settled, Midas is under the control of lawyer Alec McNamara.
B.M. Bower
No writer of cowboy stories can equal B. M. Bower. Ever since Chip of immortal memory Bower has been easily first among the writers who stage their dramas in the wide spaces of the cattle country. There is something new about this novel. The old legend about the Spook Hills comes to life when the Sunbeams newest hand, a young tenderfoot named Shelton C. Sherman, takes a ride in the hills and discovers tracks made by something that seems neither human nor animal. The subsequent sighting of a bear-like creature might explain the brutal murder of a sheep rancher. Or does it? The mystery deepens and already-high stakes become higher! A very fine story.
The Spy. A Tale of the Neutral Ground
James Fenimore Cooper
Inspired by accusations of venality leveled at the men who captured Major Andre (Benedict Arnolds co-conspirator, executed for espionage in 1780), Coopers novel centers on Harry Birch, a common man wrongly suspected by well-born Patriots of being a spy for the British. Even George Washington, who supports Birch, misreads the man, and when Washington offers him payment for information vital to the Patriots cause, Birch scorns the money and asserts that his action were motivated not by financial reward, but by his devotion to the fight for independence. Peopled with memorable characters, some of them real life heroes like George Washington, The Spy by James Fenimore Cooper is a great blend of fact and historical fiction, constructed on a magnificent scale.
E. Phillips Oppenheim
A wonderful old fashioned spy story set in the 1930s. Like other Oppenheim romances of diplomacy, intrigue and espionage, this latest one poses a critical situation in the relationships of European powers which threatens the immediate out-break of war. The Spy Paramount takes us to Rome, 1934. American Martin Fawley, a former secret service agent, is recruited as a spy by General Berati, the most feared man in fascist Italy. Suave and worldly, Fawley is quite at home in the casinos and golf courses of Monte Carlo but he is soon entangled in a game with higher stakes. As the nations of Europe vie for power, Fawley discovers the secret weapon that will determine the outcome of the looming war. There are beautiful women, balls, attempted assassinations, fantastically destructive weapons, and lots of other skullduggery.
