The Bristol Thrillers by Jeff Dowson Pdf

Closing the Distance “I want you to find someone,” Deborah said. “I want you to find me.” Jack Shepherd takes on this bizarre commission and his client disappears. The body of her therapist surfaces in the Severn Estuary. And a second-string villain comes out of the woodwork, also looking for Deborah. The search takes a series of dark and brutal turns. Shepherd battles to stay on the right side of the law, and in the process unearths a story which goes back 15 years to a bloody massacre in a Kosovan village. Changing the Odds “Syme Park millionaire disappears… The story of the Bristol PI and the blood-stained parquet floor grows curiouser and curiouser” As the headlines grow more cynical by the day, Jack Shepherd realises his search for a retired bookie can only end in misery. In accepting May Marsh’s commission to find her husband, he is pitched into a world of ruthless exploitation, unbending violence and a heart stopping confrontation with the city’s criminal royalty – the Settle family.

Bristol House by Beverly Swerling Pdf

In the tradition of Kate Mosse, a swiftly-paced mystery that stretches from modern London to Tudor England In modern-day London, architectural historian and recovering alcoholic Annie Kendall hopes to turn her life around and restart her career by locating several long-missing pieces of ancient Judaica. Geoff Harris, an investigative reporter, is soon drawn into her quest, both by romantic interest and suspicions about the head of the Shalom Foundation, the organization sponsoring her work. He’s also a dead ringer for the ghost of a monk Annie believes she has seen at the flat she is subletting in Bristol House. In 1535, Tudor London is a very different city, one in which monks are being executed by Henry VIII and Jews are banished. In this treacherous environment of religious persecution, Dom Justin, a Carthusian monk, and a goldsmith known as the Jew of Holborn must navigate a shadowy world of intrigue involving Thomas Cromwell, Jewish treasure, and sexual secrets. Their struggles shed light on the mysteries Annie and Geoff aim to puzzle out—at their own peril. This riveting dual-period narrative seamlessly blends a haunting supernatural thriller with vivid historical fiction. Beverly Swerling, widely acclaimed for her City of Dreams series, delivers a bewitching and epic story of a historian and a monk, half a millennium apart, whose destinies are on a collision course.

Greatest Mystery Novels of Wilkie Collins (Illustrated): Thriller Classics: The Woman in White, No Name, Armadale, The Moonstone, The Haunted Hotel: A Mystery of Modern Venice, The Law and The Lady, The Dead Secret, Miss or Mrs? by Wilkie Collins Pdf

The Woman in White is considered to be among the first mystery novels and is widely regarded as one of the first (and finest) in the genre of "sensation novels". The story is sometimes considered an early example of detective fiction with the hero, Walter Hartright, employing many of the sleuthing techniques of later private detectives. The Moonstone is an epistolary novel, generally considered the first detective novel in the English language. Besides creating many of the ground rules of the detective novel, The Moonstone also reflected Collins' enlightened social attitudes in his treatment of the servants in the novel. Armadale is a mystery novel and has a convoluted plot about two distant cousins both named Allan Armadale. The father of one had murdered the father of the other (the two fathers are also named Allan Armadale). The story starts with a deathbed confession by the murderer in the form of a letter to be given to his baby son when he grows up. No Name is a 19th-century novel revolving around the issue of illegitimacy.
