Could the disappearance of Sir Julius Cheever's son, a notorious rakehell, and the fact that a blackmailer is terrorising London's most dissolute fops be connected? Divided by politics but united in a desire to see justice done, Christopher Redmayne and Jonathan Bale join together once more. But how can they hope to find those who exploit the scandal of others, when the victims themselves will do anything to maintain their anonymity? And what of Sir Julius' son? Most feel he must have been the victim of his own, debauched appetites, but a few talk of his repentance. So where is the repentant rake? And, with only lies, rumours and gossip to work with, even Redmayne and Bale despair of finding him.

From the man who has won more Hugo and Nebula Awards than any other author in the history of fantastic literature, three complete novels that embody the concept of time travel. LETTERS FROM ATLANTIS Time travel has allowed Roy's consciousness to enter the mind of the heir to Atlantis's throne. But if he was in an Atlantis unlike anything the researchers had predicted, then what were its secrets? And when would it be destroyed? PROJECT PENDULUM The nature of time mechanics requires that the two travellers' masses be precisely matched; for that reason, the first time travellers must be a pair of identical twins. What neither planned on, however, was how the inhabitants of those times would react to their presence.... THE TIME HOPPERS In the 25th century, the only escape from suffocation in a totally controlled environment is to 'hop' backward through time. However, since time-hopping is outlawed, it must be stopped - but not too quickly. For the history of the 1970s includes the arrival of hoppers who have not yet left the 2490s!

This anthology of rare stories of crime and suspense brings together 15 tales from the Golden Age of Detective Fiction for the first time in book form, including a newly discovered Gervase Fen novella by Edmund Crispin that has never previously been published. With the Golden Age of detective fiction shining ever more brightly thanks to the recent reappearance of many forgotten crime novels, Bodies from the Library offers a rare opportunity to read lost stories from the first half of the twentieth century by some of the genre’s most accomplished writers. This second volume is a showcase for popular figures of the Golden Age, in stories that even their most ardent fans will not be aware of. This book also features two highly readable radio scripts by Margery Allingham (involving Jack the Ripper) and John Rhode, plus two full-length novellas – one from a rare magazine by Q Patrick, the other an unpublished Gervase Fen mystery by Edmund Crispin, written at the height of his career. It concludes with another remarkable discovery: ‘The Locked Room’ by Dorothy L. Sayers, a never-before-published case for Lord Peter Wimsey! Selected and introduced by Tony Medawar, who also provides fascinating pen portraits of each author, Bodies in the Library 2 is an indispensable collection for any bookshelf.ContentsIntroductionNO FACEChristianna BrandBEFORE AND AFTERPeter AntonyHOTEL EVIDENCEHelen SimpsonEXIT BEFORE MIDNIGHTQ PatrickROOM TO LETMargery AllinghamA JOKE’S A JOKEJonathan LatimerTHE MAN WHO KNEWAgatha ChristieTHE ALMOST PERFECT MURDER CASES.
