Run to Earth

Mary Elizabeth Braddon

Two different riddles, three villains, one of which was really the darkest paint, three murders, one suicide, the abduction of a child, three strong Victorian women one of them is unusually tragic, the other is quite a deceiver, like Becky Sharp, and divine retribution. Suffice it to say that one of the main characters is a young woman who lives with a man who claims to be a father, but exploits and intimidates her, and when this villain, Black Milsom, actually kills the young navigator captain for money.

The Pat Hobby Stories

F. Scott Fitzgerald

A Hollywood hack who has fallen on hard times since the end of the Silent Era, Pat Hobby spends his time hanging out in the studio lot attempting to devise schemes to get more work and earn on-screen credits. Entertainingly artless and insensitive; by turns lazy and scheming, Hobby keeps his head just above water as the decades leave silent film behind. F. Scott Fitzgeralds collection of 17 humorous short stories paints a comic portrait of a man unwilling to accept his fate as a thing of the past.

The Beautiful White Devil

Guy Boothby

This novel, filled with lots of action and romance, talks about the exploits of an attractive criminal mastermind who steals the heart of the main character of a fairy tale. The heroine is a first class woman. She is smart, beautiful, commanding and respected. She is all that a leader should be, demonstrates courage in the face of danger, and has never even been portrayed in any way not ideal.

Wielki Testament

François Villon

Villon François, średniowieczny, paryski poeta, choć ukończył Uniwersytet Paryski i uzyskał tytuł magistra sztuk wyzwolonych, wybrał życie awanturnika i przestępcy. Burzliwe doświadczenia i liczne pobyty w więzieniu ukształtowały jego wrażliwość, którą wyrażał w poezji, będącej mieszanką rozpaczy i radości, pokory i przekory. Wielki testament stanowi jego pożegnanie ze światem i swoisty rachunek sumienia.

The Fighting Four

Max Brand

His name was Jim Silver, but they called him Silvertip. Jim Silver, the man with tufts of silver hair over each temple, the man who sometimes looked like a horned devil in the moonlight, hungered for action as most men hunger for food. And he found plenty when bank robber Jim Lovell sought his protection because, unknown to Silvertip, Lovell was packing a half-million dollars in stolen cash along with his Winchester. And the men hed double-crossed had shot their way out of jail and were riding hard on the trail of their desperate partner, ready for the bloodiest shootout the West had ever seen! Experience the West as only Max Brand could write it!

The Kidnap Murder Case

S.S. Van Dine

Casper Kenting disappeared from the family home and a ransom note was found. Tips indicate Kentings involvement in his own abduction, but Vance sees this false trail. The abduction case is full of ordinary cliches: a ransom note consisting of words cut out from a newspaper and a demand to leave the ransom on an empty tree at midnight.

The Benson Murder Case

S.S. Van Dine

The Benson Case is the first case, the first detective from the Philo Vens series. Again, we are dealing with an amateur detective who has his own Watson and Lestrade, a first-person narrator who is present at all events and a good acquaintance of Vance, the New York City Police Attorney Markham. In this book, he still does not particularly believe in Vances ability to psychologically unwind potential victims of murder suspects.
