The Eight of Swords: A Dr. Gideon Fell Mystery

The Eight of Swords: A Dr. Gideon Fell Mystery

John Dickson Carr; Douglas Green

American Mystery Classics
2021
nidottu
In a house in the English countryside, a man has just turned up dead, surrounded by a crime scene that seems, at first glance, to be fairly straightforward. He's found with a bullet through the head in an unlocked room, and all signs point to a recent strange visitor as the perpetrator. The body is even accompanied by an ostentatious clue, presumably left by the killer: The tarot card of The Eight of Swords, an allusion, perhaps, to justice.But when Dr. Gideon Fell arrives at the house to investigate, he finds that certain aspects of the murder scene don't quite add up--and that every new piece of evidence introduces a new problem instead of a new solution. Add to that the suggestion of a poltergeist on the property, the appearance of American gangsters, and the constant interruptions of two dabbling amateur sleuths adjacent to the case, and you have a situation puzzling enough to push Fell's powers of deduction to their limits. But will Fell be able to cut through their distractions and get to the heart of the matter, before more murders take place?Reissued for the first time in years, The Eight of Swords is an early Carr novel that highlights many of the qualities that made him such a successful writer, including his baffling plots, his twisty investigations, and his memorable characters. It is the third installment in the Dr. Gideon Fell series, which can be read in any order.

To the Brink: A Stormy Voyage Through Early America the Epic Tale of Privateer of Gideon Olmsted

To the Brink: A Stormy Voyage Through Early America the Epic Tale of Privateer of Gideon Olmsted

John Lankenau; Nancy Lankenau

Little Creek Press
2026
nidottu
A mutiny at sea, a decades-long legal battle--To the Brink is the real-life revolutionary epic you didn't learn in school. To the Brink tells the true and riveting story of Gideon Olmsted, a Connecticut sea captain whose boldness and persistence made him a thorn in the side of both the British Crown and the young American government. Captured by the British during the American Revolution, Olmsted didn't just endure imprisonment--he masterminded a dramatic mutiny to reclaim the ship and chart his own course to freedom. But his greatest battle came not on the high seas, but in the courtroom, where a decades-long legal struggle challenged the very definition of American sovereignty. With the pulse-pounding pace of an adventure novel and the depth of meticulously researched history, To the Brink brings to life the harrowing voyages, fierce loyalties, and foundational conflicts that shaped the early American Republic. A story of resilience, rebellion, and the birth of a nation, this is history as you've never read it before.

The Treasure Map of Boys: Noel, Jackson, Finn, Hutch, Gideon--and Me, Ruby Oliver

From E. Lockhart, author of the highly acclaimed, New York Times bestseller We Were Liars, which John Green called "utterly unforgettable," comes The Treasure Map of Boys, the third book in the uproarious and heartwarming Ruby Oliver novels. Ruby is back at Tate Prep, and it's her thirty-seventh week in the state of Noboyfriend. Her panic attacks are bad, her love life is even worse, and what's more: Noel is writing her notes, Jackson is giving her frogs, Gideon is helping her cook, and Finn is making her brownies. Rumors are flying, and Ruby's already-sucky reputation is heading downhill. Not only that, she's also: running a bake sale, learning the secrets of heavymetal therapy, encountering some seriously smelly feet, defending the rights of pygmy goats, and bodyguarding Noel from unwanted advances. In this companion novel to The Boyfriend List and The Boy Book, Ruby struggles to secure some sort of mental health, to understand what constitutes a real friendship, and to find true love--if such a thing exists.
