Edgar Wallace

As well as dealing with this unexpected elevation in his status, and learning how to behave as a member of the aristocracy he also has to protect his newly inherited estate from clever con-men who try to convince him that there is oil on his land and after a series of adventures win the girl he loves.

Alexandre Dumas
Amidst the conspiracy of the Holy League to make the Duke of Anjou king, Bussy dAmboise falls in love with a lady of the court of Henry III a lady with a very jealous husband! This sequel to Dumas Marguerite de Valois begins four years after the sudden death of King Charles IX and succession of his brother Henry III. Bristling with political plots, secret assignations, mysteries, daring escapes, duels, surprising alliances and betrayals, Dumas orchestrates two plotlines: one of the love ignited between le Comte de Bussy and la Dame de Monsoreau, and another of the friendship between King Henry III and his truly unique jester, Chicot (Jean-Antoine dAnglerais). All these come together in a very scene-driven, absolutely over-the-top novel. Concerning one of Dumass most well-known and marvelously crafted characters, Chicot the Jester is a must-read for fans of Dumass seminal work, and is not to be missed by the discerning collector.
