Preface to the American Edition
There is no particular reason why Americans should be familiar with the vocabulary of Bonn politics, and the situation which I have described here does not presuppose such knowledge. It presupposes only this: that in what we may perhaps call the recent future, the...
The immigrants were without any deep consciousness of the role they were playing. They did not dream of history or see themselves as a part of history. They partook of a mythology of the place to which they were going, but of the fact of the place they knew little indeed. Misery absorbed them....
Loring walked out the side entrance of the Justice Department and looked for a taxi. It was nearly five thirty, a spring Friday, and the congestion in the Washington streets was awful. Loring stood by the curb and held up his left hand, hoping for the best. He was about to abandon the effort when a...
How easily murder is discovered.
—Shakespeare
Thé house was like a jewel. I possessed it as though it were my own, and not, in fact. Miss Grimes's tiny house with the secret rooui beside the stair.
On that autumn night when things began to change, to shift and move about, to take on new...
FOREWORD
HOW THE BOOK CAME TO BE WRITTEN
"We need another book on juvenile delinquency like a hole in the headi"
This was the greeting hurled at me when I went to interview a Philadelphia commissioner in preparation for this book. It was not the first such comment I'd received, nor—as things...
Gerince megtört, deformált. Borítói kopottasak, repedezettek. The Place--The glittering French Riviera The Action--A giant jewel heist, an artistic theft of great paintings, a cunning kidnapping, a savage duel to the death against a sinister drug-smuggling syndicate. The hero--a man named...
AUTHOR'S ACKNOWLEDGMENTSIn 1973, I picked up a book that correlated women's orgasmic potential with the degree of security they once had with their fathers. I can remember the day, where I was sitting, the weight of the volume in my hands, and my instantaneous reaction: what about mother?I had just...
Foreword
I'm very much afraid I lifted a supercilious eyebrow (or maybe two) when Michael Shayne first told me he had agreed to edit a volume of short mystery stories to be titled DANGEROUS DAMES.
Not that Mike probably hasn't run into more Dangerous Dames than any man in the country. I grant...
PERSONAL The Author to His ReadersIn 1979, with publication of Overload, I announced my retirement. I was tired. My life had been full. I was, and still am, grateful to those millions of readers worldwide who have enriched my life in many ways, including making retirement possible.In whatever years...

The soft summer wind abruptly died and it became eerily still, almost an omen. James Fisher stood in the bow pulpit of the thirty-one-foot trimaran he had built with his own hands, and he called out mightily to the God who dominated all of his days and nights. "Dear Lord," he cried, his voice...
Just in case you care to know what I think, I think every girl out of high school should be required by law to spend at least one year of her college life in Paris.
Paris, France, that is.
Never mind if the cops swear at you, the waiters glare at you, and the taxi drivers try to kill you. Never...

. HE senior partner studied the résumé for the hundredth time and again found nothing he disliked about Mitchell Y. McDeere, at least not on paper. He had the brains, the ambition, the good looks. And he was hungry; with his background, he had to be. He was married, and that was mandatory....
Introduction
from the day my father took me to plum grove,
a one-room school on a hilltop in Greenup County, Kentucky, I have been trying to write. I was six years old then and didn't know a letter in the alphabet or a word, only by memory. I wouldn't have known a word I had learned from my...
DODSWORTH !
Titán of American industry, president of the Revelation Motor Company, he was not a Babbitt, not a Rotarian, not an Elk. He rarely shouted and hever slapped people on the back. He was devoted to his wife. He liked whisky, póker and paté de foie gras. He made fine automobiles and...

In the early hours presaging the dawn Silok's large frame sprawled upon the white sheet of his bed, while his mind wandered. He was caged in a white fine-mesh mosquito net which hung down from a circular bamboo frame like a festoon. In the hot Singapore night he slept all but naked, with only...
CHAPTER ONE
The Return Home
MY BROTHER TOM and eldest brother Sweyn arrived home for summer vacation on Sunday, June 5, 1898. I remember the date very well because, just two weeks later, the entire town of Park City was destroyed by the worst fire in the history of Utah. My brothers had been...
AN INTRODUCTION TO LUCINDA
SP RIN G has come; windows are open. Green fire burns fiercely along the branches of every tree and shrub. A month ago the wild geese started flying north; over the lake, against a morning sky, the black-dotted wedge of their flying made lovely patterns. Birds have all...
^Prologue
i'm an artist now, and I live and work in the city. It's a landscape of cement and noise and crowds, all very different and very far away from the little town where I grew up—Clear River, Nebraska, population: 1500.
Clear River was surrounded by cornfields and catde and open sky....

By virtue of its contents and the method of presentation employed, the...
The Big Winner
I won Dribble at Jimmy Fargo's birthday party. All the other guys got to take home goldfish in little plastic bags. I won him because I guessed there were three hundred and forty-eight jelly beans in Mrs. Fargo's jar. Really, there were four hundred and twenty-three, she told us...
CHAPTER ONE

DURING THE FIRST WEEK of August in the year 1898 a trial was held in Adenville, Utah. The defendant was my brother, Tom Fitzgerald, alias The Great Brain. He was only twelve years old, but he was charged with being a confidence man, a swindler, a crook, and a...

Walter Moles was late, as usual. It didn't seem to make any difference that he lived right on the same block as the Ogden Street School. Every day he was the last one in.
Walter jumped off the three brick steps in front of his house, circled around the driveway into his yard, and climbed the...
CHAPTER ONE The Buried Treasure Swindle

Tom Spots a Card Shark
WHEN MY BROTHER TOM began telling people in Adenville, Utah, that he had a great brain everybody laughed at him, including his own family. We all thought he was trying to play some kind of a kid's joke on us. But after he had used his great brain to swindle...
Cohen, a large, heavyset man of forty-three, was gradually losing his patience, and that would be a prelude to losing his temper and taking it out on everyone around him, and that had been happening too often. Small things, unimportant things, irritated him and provoked him. He had been through too...
CHAPTER ONE
THE BLUE NILE
"Egypt is an acquired country, the gift of the river."
Herodotus.
The Blue Nile pours very quietly and uneventfully out of Lake Tana in the northern highlands of Ethiopia. There is no waterfall or cataract, no definite current, nothing in fact to indicate that a part...
THE WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION
Mr. Mayherne adjusted his pince-nez and cleared his throat with a little dry-as-dust cough that was wholly typical of him. Then he looked again at the man opposite him, the man charged with willful murder.
Mr. Mayherne was a small man, precise in manner, neatly,...
Introduction
This book might have been called The American Drama Comes of Age. Perhaps these plays aren't as famous as they once were. I would be the last to say that they're the best of their decade. But they are—to borrow an apt adjective from other anthologies—representative. They carry...

"Dr. Hallam Dr. Peter Hallam Dr. Hallam . . . Cardiac Intensive, Dr. Hallam " The voice droned on mechanically as Peter Hallam sped through the lobby of Center City Hospital, never stopping to answer the page since the team already knew he was on his way. He furrowed his brow as...

1.LONDON, 1940The boy was fascinated. He lay on his stomach in thé long grass, not far from the spinney, the evening sun warm on his back. He could see the soldiers were working hard, stripped to the waist, the sweat glistening on them as they passed the sandbags along the human chain, from the...
