John Lawton: Second Violin

Second Violin


Description

One of today s top historical espionage writers, considered as good as Le Carre ("Chicago Tribune") and a master ("Rocky Mountain News"), John Lawton adds another spellbinding thriller to his Inspector Troy series with "Second Violin." The sixth installment in the series, Lawton s new novel opens in 1938 with Europe on the brink of war. In London, Frederick Troy, newly promoted to the prestigious murder squad at Scotland Yard, is put in charge of rounding up a list of German and Italian enemy aliens that also includes Frederick s brother, Rod, who learns upon receiving an internment letter that he was born in Austria despite having grown up in England. Hundreds of men are herded by train to a neglected camp on the Isle of Man. And as the bombs start falling on London, a murdered rabbi is found, then another, and another. Amid great war, murder is what matters. Moving from the Nazi-infested alleys of prewar Vienna to the bombed-out streets of 1940 London, and featuring an extraordinary cast of characters, Lawton s latest thriller is a suspenseful and intelligent novel, as good a spy story as it is an historical narrative."

This is the fully restored fiftieth anniversary edition. It includes a foreword by Second Violin ebook pdf Martin Amis. First published by William Heinemann in 1962, "A Clockwork Orange" is widely acknowledged as one of the most influential books of the twentieth century. This special edition, compiled and edited by Andrew Biswell, Burgess' biographer, restores the text of the novel as Burgess originally wrote it, and includes a selection of interviews, articles, reviews and other previously unpublished material. For the on-the-go photographer, a cool companion website features additional tips, venue troubleshooting, and an equipment checklist when you need to think on your feet while running to another gig. Ella Brady thinks so. She wants to film a documentary about Quentins that will capture the spirit of Dublin from the 1970s to the present day. And Quentins has a thousand stories to tell: tales of love, of betrayal, of revenge; of times when it looked ready for success and times when it seemed as if it must close in failure. But as Ella uncovers more of what has gone on at Quentins, she begins to wonder whether some secrets should be kept that way...
