"Poes 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue' ist der Prototyp der Detektivgeschichten. 1841 erschienen, erzählt die Kurzgeschichte von einem der skurrilsten Mordfälle in Paris. Als zwei Frauen ermordet werden, ist die Polizei ratlos. Es gibt keinerlei Spuren und auch ansonsten lediglich Zeugenaussagen, die mehr Rätsel aufgeben als lösen. Dupin, ein französischer Aristokrat, der in der Zeitung über das Verbrechen liest, nimmt sich dessen an und kommt einer ungeheuren und fast unfassbaren Geschichte auf die Spur.

"The story 'The Jungle Book' takes place in a tropical jungle where people are obviously absent. But one day Bagheera the Panther discovers a baby in the wreck of a boat. Feeling pity on the child, Bagheera takes him to be raised with the wolves. Ten years later, the child has grown into Mowgli. Mowgli discovers that his life is in danger because of the return to the area of Shere Khan the Tiger, whose hatred of humans is such that Mowgli faces certain death if discovered. His friends Baloo, Bagheera and Kaa prepare him for the life in the jungle. But then the monkeys kidnap him.
Nachdem Mowglis Eltern von dem heimtückischen Tiger Shere Khan angegriffen wurden, sind sie geflohen und haben ihren Sohn im Dschungel zurückgelassen. Fortan lebt er bei einem Wolfsrudel und wird von seinen Freunden, dem Bären Baloo, dem Panther Bagheera und der Pythonschlange Kaa, auf das Leben in der Wildnis und den Kampf gegen Shere Khan vorbereitet. Mowgli lernt die strengen Gesetze des Dschungels und die Sprache seiner Bewohner. Nur das respektlose Volk der Affen hält sich nicht an die Regeln und entführt den Jungen.

"When Superintendant Duncan Kincaid takes Gemma, Kit and Toby to visit his family in Cheshire, Gemma is soon entranced with Nantwich town's pretty buildings and the historic winding canal, and young Kit is instantly smitten with his cousin Lally. But their visit is marred when, on Christmas Eve, Duncan's sister discovers a mummified infant's body interred in the wall of an old dairy barn; a tragedy hauntingly echoed by the recent drowning of Peter Llewellyn, a schoolmate of Lally's. Meanwhile, on her narrowboat, former social worker Annie Lebow is living a life of self-imposed isolation, preparing for a lonely Christmas, made more disturbing by an unexpected meeting earlier in the day. As the police make enquiries into the infant's death, Kincaid discovers that life in the lovely town of his childhood is far from idyllic, and that the dreaming reaches of the Shropshire Union Canal hold dark and deadly secrets..."
"While attending a lavish masked ball in Venice, retired Scotland Yard detective Jasper has a shock when, at the midnight démasqué, he spots a woman whose accidental death he investigated in England three years ago. Even more stunned than Jasper is the woman's husband, Lord Bantham, who has since remarried, not to mention his new wife who sees her acquired position and wealth slip away. Then there are her old friends who all seem to have known more about the 'accident' than they ever let on. When the resurrected lady is found dead the next morning on one of Venice's many bridges, the question is: who wanted Lady Bantham to die, again?"
"June 1917. While German Gotha bombers raid London from above, a man's body is fished from the Thames below.

The list of suspects grows ever longer, and as Marmion wrangles with the case, he and his family must also contend with their anxieties for his now-missing son. The interminable presence of war and pitched battles between rival gangs suggest the Home Front is more insecure than ever before."
