Midnight in the House of Commons: A Charles Lenox Mystery

"Amateur sleuth Charles Lenox investigates the murder of a Parliament member, moving through the glamorous high society of Victorian London in the next novel from acclaimed author Charles Finch. In the spring of 1881, Lenox is caught up in the whirl of London life when his brother arrives to tell him that there’s been a murder in the House of Commons. Robert Baddeley, a charismatic, womanizing Member, has been found poisoned in the hallowed chamber itself. Suspicion immediately falls on the women in his life, including his wife and mistress, but as Lenox digs deeper, he realizes that there were more than a few people who might have wanted Baddeley dead. Meanwhile, Lenox must balance his investigation with his family life, which has grown increasingly complicated: his ward Sari struggles with heartbreak, the Lenox household receives an odd visitor, and a young woman comes to Lenox to implore him to find her fiancé, who has mysteriously vanished. And just when Lenox is nearing the truth of Baddeley’s murder, someone close to him is arrested for the crime—and Lenox must race to solve the case before losing everything. Joyfully set in ballrooms, supper parties, palaces, and Parliament, Midnight in the House of Commons takes Charles Lenox through his trickiest, most satisfying case yet."

Tenebroum 5

"In the stunning conclusion to the five-volume saga, our dark god faces utter annihilation. Though Tenebroum has conquered vast stretches of the world, devouring armies and slaying gods, it is dying. While neither Siddrim nor the All-Father could manage to injure it, Tenebroum has just inflicted a mortal wound on itself, shattering its tainted phylactery to escape the Worm’s grip. Now, hunted and fading, Tenebroum must defy fate, overcome its own impending demise, and finally win the decades-long war of conquest that it began so long ago. It must rise from the ashes of its own immolation and forge itself anew lest its lair become its own grave instead of humanity’s. Will it succeed? Will the Lord of Darkness find a way to make the other remaining gods tremble as it finishes its long, bloody road to ultimate power?"

The Making of a Permabear: The perils of Long-term Investing in a Short-term World

"From the renowned iconoclast investor comes a brilliant account of sixty years spent hunting for value and sidestepping bubbles in a changing financial world When Jeremy Grantham entered the investment business in the 1960s, he brought the thrifty Quaker values and Yorkshire independence he had been raised with. While other money managers were focused on blue chip stocks, he studied stock market history and constructed by hand the first indices for small-cap and value stocks. Charting their ebb and flow, he could see clearly the powerful force that would become central to his investment philosophy: mean reversion, "the heartbreaking principle that good times always revert back to more boring, more ordinary times." In the early 1970s Grantham launched the first index mutual fund. Soon after, he co-founded GMO and spent the firm's early earnings on a hard drive the size of an industrial washing machine, becoming the first firm to use a computer for investment analysis. The quantitative style they pioneered would take over the industry. In the late 1990s Grantham acquired notoriety as a "permabear" for refusing to buy into the dotcom mania. Clients left in droves—one called him "dangerously persuasive and totally wrong"—but he was vindicated when the bubble burst in 2000. Yet while his wealth grew, so did his alarm at the disastrous consequences of short-term thinking not just for investors but for the very future of the planet, and he has directed nearly all his wealth to environmental protection. Written with his former colleague, the bestselling financial historian Edward Chancellor, The Making of a Permabear is replete with investment insights and provides a compellingly candid and witty insider's tour of the booms and busts of the past half century."

The Hidden City: A Charles Lenox Mystery

"Against the vividly drawn backdrop of Victorian London, amateur sleuth Charles Lenox must unlock a mystery concealed in the architecture of the city itself, in this new novel from acclaimed author Charles Finch. It's 1879, and Lenox is convalescing from the violent events of his last investigation. But a desperate letter from an old servant forces him to pick up the trail of a cold case: the murder of an apothecary seven years before, whose only clue is an odd emblem carved into the doorway of the building where the man was killed. When Lenox finds a similar mark at the site of another murder, he begins to piece together a hidden pattern which leads him into the corridors of Parliament, the slums of East London, and ultimately the very heart of the British upper class. At the same time, Lenox must contend with the complexities of his personal life: a surprising tension with his steadfast wife, Lady Jane, over her public support of the early movement for women's suffrage; the arrival of Angela Lenox, a mysterious young cousin from India, with an unexpected companion; the dizzying ascent of his brother, Sir Edmund Lenox, to one of the highest political posts in the land; the growing family of his young partners in detection, Polly and Dallington; and the return of the problems that have long bedeviled one of his closest friends, the dashing Scottish physician Thomas McConnell. Featuring a beloved cast of characters, a top-notch puzzle, and Finch's trademark humor and richness of historical detail, The Hidden City is a novel by a master at the top of his form. “James Langton, longtime narrator of the series, is simply perfect as the dedicated, gentlemanly Lenox. Langton voices all the secondary characters with equal precision and care.”—AudioFile A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books."
