Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency

Front room, New Millennium Audio. 1987. (ISBN: 9781590070598). Audio Cassette, 18.7 x 11 x 3.2 cm. Boxed set of 2 cassettes in good condition, box slightly damaged. What do a dead cat, a computer whiz-kid, an Electric Monk who believes the world is pink, quantum mechanics, a Chronologist over 200 years old, Samuel Taylor Coleridge (poet), and pizza have in common? Apparently not much; until Dirk Gently, self-styled private investigator, sets out to prove the fundamental interconnectedness of all things by solving a mysterious murder, assisting a mysterious professor, unravelling a mysterious mystery, and eating a lot of pizza - not to mention saving the entire human race from extinction along the way (at no extra charge). 'A thumping good detective-ghost-horror-whodunnit-time travel-romantic-musical-comedy epic.' The author. Good.

CONRAD, JOSEPH

The Secret Agent (1907)

UK, Methuen & Co. 1907. Hardback, Upstairs by RP A5 Red. Ref ZKVQ Hardback back red covers gold text to spine in average condition, some bumps to edges, Brown spots to page edges and end cover, sticker to first page, owners name and Gallery library under, stated second edition October 1907. The Secret Agent is set in the seedy world of Adolf Verloc, a storekeeper and double agent in late-Victorian London who pretends to sympathize with a group of international anarchists but reports on their activities to both the Russian embassy and the British government. As he is drawn further into a terrorist bombing plot, his family also becomes involved, with devastating consequences. Based on a real-life failed anarchist plot, The Secret Agent is both intimately engaged with its historical moment and profoundly relevant today. This new Broadview Edition helps to recreate the historical context that informed Conrad's preoccupations with global terrorism, human degeneration, the relativity of time, and the position of women.

Strike Dog: A Woods Cop Mystery

Service must navigate the terrain of his own grief as well as the killer s twisted mind. Grady Service, the hardboiled Conservation Officer of the Woods Cop series, has the most difficult case of his career. A serial killer is knocking off the best conservation officers in each state. The killings are ritualistic and the victims are all grotesquely mutilated in a manner that has its roots in Vikings warfare. Service learns he is next on the list. The FBI bring him on the case, both to protect him and because of his incredible tracking abilities. But Service needs no protection. He's out for blood himself. The killer has murdered his girlfriend, Nantz, and his son, Walter. Alone, and devastated, Service must navigate the terrain of his own grief and loneliness as well as the twisted mind of the serial killer. Filled with suspense, this mystery is almost a psychological thriller. The hunted and the hunter reverse roles throughout. Heywood doesn't disappoint. His cast of recurring eccentric and memorable characters people this novel as they have the others. As always, he adds fresh and fascinating characters and a terrific plot. This is the 5th novel in Heywood's critically acclaimed Woods Cop mystery series Serial Murder is a particularly gruesome and intriguing deviation Heywood's writing style is attention getting and fast-paced; Readers will be hooked after the first page A good gift book for ALL mystery readers, and anyone interested in animal rights; conservation; land management, or the natural world. Taut and assured writing that hooked me from the start. Every word builds toward the ending, and along the way some of the writing took my breath away as Heywood reveals his love of the land and makes the country Grady Service moves through in the way I imagine a great painter works. I m an instant fan. I can t wait for the next one. This is a writer and a series to catch on to. Kirk Russell, author of Deadgame. Good.
