Suze should be spending the summer vacation at the beach. Instead she`s been forced to get a babysitting job at a swanky resort. She`d expected to look after some boring brat, so Suze is surprised to find that her charge is actually a budding mediator – with a totally hot older brother. Not that Suze`s head could be turned by some guy – she`s pledged her heart to Jesse, the most gorgeous ghost ever. But it`s tough when the boy you love doesn`t seem to love you back, and it`s even tougher when you think you`ve found his 150-year-old grave in your backyard. Suze knows it`s dangerous to dig up the past, but how can she focus on babysitting when she could be close to discovering who killed Jesse?

The Moonstone is an epistolary novel, generally considered the first full length 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, i. e. in his treatment of the servants. In 1877 Collins adapted The Moonstone for the stage, but the production was performed for only two months.

Yambo, a sixty-ish rare book dealer who lives in Milan has suffered a loss of memory; not the kind of memory neurologists call `semantic` (Yambo remembers all about Julius Caesar and can recite every poem he has ever read), but rather his `autobiographical` memory: he no longer knows his own name, doesn`t recognize his wife or his daughters, doesn`t remember anything about his parents or his childhood. His wife, who is at his side as he slowly begins to recover, convinces him to return to his family home in the hills somewhere between Milan and Turin. Yambo promptly retreats to the sprawling attic, cluttered with boxes of newspapers, comics, records, photo albums and adolescent diaries. There, he relives the story of his generation:...

Dickens`s final novel, left unfinished at his death in 1870, is a mystery story much influenced by the `Sensation Novel` as written by his friend Wilkie Collins. The action takes place in an ancient cathedral city and in some of the darkest places in Victorian London. Drugs, disappearances, sexual obsession, disguise and a possible murder are among the themes and motifs A sombre and menacing atmosphere, a fascinating range of characters and Dickens`s usual superb command of language combine to make this an exciting and tantalising story. Also included in this volume are a number of unjustly neglected stories and sketches, with subjects as different as murder and guilt and childhood romance. This unusual selection illustrates Dickens`s...
