Book Description Cliff Janeway is back! The Bookman's Promise marks the eagerly awaited return of the award-winning crime novel series that helped the nation turn on to first-edition book collecting. The Bookman's Promise

Из всех человеческих побуждений к убийству оккультизм является наиболее редким Но верование в Бога или в дьявола в равной мере предполагает наличие слепой, невопрошающей веры, а это - наиболее опасное из человеческих качеств. Именно слепая вера служила движущей силой великих кровопролитий, случавшихся и в прошлом и в настоящем. Та же вера послужила причиной для принесения в жертву жизней маленькой девочки, и новобрачной, только недавно стоявшей под венцом, и многих несчастных, о ком повествуется в этой страшной, но правдивой книге.

The sequel to the popular Booked to Die. Cliff Janeway, Denver cop-turned-book-dealer, finds himself chasing down a charming young fugitive named Eleanor Rigby, who has stolen a rare copy of Poe's "The Raven" for reasons of her own. Trouble follows, and Eleanor disappears into a city filled with people who want the book, and don't care what they have to do to get it. Stuffed with fascinating book lore, this mystery is a bibliophile's dream.

It's the summer of 1942. Bombs are falling on Britain, daylight saving time has given way to wartime, and radio is in its prime. In Regina Beach, on the New Jersey coast, a troupe of gallant artists explores the promise of this exhilarating medium for WHAR, creating programming to entertain and inspire a nation in its dark hour.

Enter Jack Dulaney, writer, and Holly Carnahan, singer, determined to find Holly's missing father. As Jack discovers his talent for creating radio dramas, he also begins to suspect that a Nazi spy is operating at the station, and that Carnahan's fate may be linked to an English actor who walked out of the radio station six years ago and was never seen again. It is a link some will do anything to hide – including commit murder.

Леденящая кровь коллекция убийств, описанных известным криминалистом репортёром Джоном Даннингом.
Дрожа от ужаса, инспектор Болл приподнял крышку большой кастрюли, стоявшей на плите. В кипящем бульоне он различил крошечную детскую ручку: хорошо проваренное мясо начало уже отставать от костей...

Denver homicide detective Cliff Janeway may not always play by the book, but he is an avid collector of rare and first editions. After a local bookscout is killed on his turf, Janeway would like nothing better than to rearrange the suspect's spine. But the suspect, local lowlife Jackie Newton, is a master at eluding the law, and Janeway's wrathful brand of off-duty justice costs him his badge.
Turning to his lifelong passion, Janeway opens a small bookshop -- all the while searching for evidence to put Newton away. But when prized volumes in a highly sought-after collection begin to appear, so do dead bodies. Now, Janeway's life is about to start a precarious new chapter as he attempts to find out who's dealing death along with vintage Chandlers and Twains.
