"The Chocolate Lady" is a story of high drama, intrigue and politics, in Which treachery and treason are enormously rewarded. The heroine, a brave white woman risks her life in an effort to effect a counter military coup and the return of democratic, civilian rule in an African state. Colonel Kofi Johnson of Bassa organises a successful coup, only to be toppled by the 'Chocolate Lady'. Was the chocolate lady motivated by selfless devotion to her African husband. or was she an operative in the C.I.A? Was she an agent of the Israeli Secret Service, Mossad, as many suspected, or was she driven by altruism? Could the events narrated in the novel happen elsewhere apart from Bassa? Was the avidly womanising colonel really semi impotent? 'The Chocolate Lady', is a gripping, funny story that lays bare gross incidents of murder, juju, voodoo. double-dealing and anti-Semitism in the African state of Bassa. This novel may be banned in some countries for fear that the fiction of Kofi Johnson may become a reality. Size: Octavo (standard book size). 281 pages.

When they realise that Volney the Vole has even more pressing worries than theirs, they do not hesitate to drop their own concerns and set off with him to save the Vale of the Vole from the depredations of the demons who have taken up residence there. When they arrive at Castle Roogna, they join Princess Ivy of Xanth, who turns out to be a more than adequate substitute for the Good Magician they had hoped to find. And there will be more allies - an amorous brassie who fancies Esk, a skeleton who can reassemble himself in the most useful shapes and a host of curse fiends, centaurs and ogres.

He blends science and fiction in an explosively imaginative form that whirls the reader into a Vortex of excitement. But perhaps the most disconcerting aspect of this novel is that the theories expounded by the author have been checked by a noted scientist and have been declared feasible."

The quiet almost idyllic atmosphere of their time together was destined to be shattered by the events of just one week. Out for a drive one day, Brig stops by chance at an isolated garage, and becomes the innocent victim of blackmail by the Mafia. The task: to hide a wanted man in the boot of his car and get him through police checkpoints. The threat: if he does not co-operate, his own life will be a short one. But his involvement with the cold-blooded members of the Mafia does not end here. Forced on only by the threat of harm to Theresa. Brig is ordered to travel to Malta, and from there to Naples. Shatteringly, he realizes he is now virtually one of them - the Mafia are using him in their drug-running operations. Grabbing any chance to escape their ever-tightening net Brig enlists the help of his cousin, a member of the consular service in Naples - a well-meaning character who only creates further complications. Told by various characters involved sometimes only peripherally - in the adventure, Nicolas Bentley creates an intriguing mosaic to reveal the events of that week.

The Case of the Seven Bells: A Ludovic Travers Mystery
MacMillan, New York, 1950. First Edition, Hardcover (Original Cloth). Very Good Condition/No Dust Jacket.
