There`s been rising concern in Moscow over a wave of suicides among the city`s young bohemians. An intrepid newspaper reporter, Zhemailo, begins to uncover the truth behind the phenomenon - that the victims are linked by a secret society, the Lovers of Death. But Zhemailo is not the only investigator hot on the heels of these disciples of the occult. Little do they realise that the latest `convert` to their secret society, assuming the alias of a Japanese prince, is none other than Erast Fandorin. But when a young and naive provincial woman, Masha Mironova, becomes embroiled in the society, and Zhemalio dies a mysterious death, Fandorin must do more than merely infiltrate and observe. Especially when the spin of the Russian roulette...

And why does he keep calling her "Mom?"
The natural beauty of seashells has enchanted cultures around the world since time immemorial. The "recreation of the eye and mind" inspired by them has been celebrated in literature and throughout humanist circles across Europe since antiquity: in his De oratore, the classical scholar Cicero extolled the value of the leisure and friendship cultivated by two friends who spent their leisurely hours collecting shells. These wonderful marine forms - "the artifice of nature" - were considered capable of elevating the spirit and stimulating the senses, as well as refining the taste and creativity of artists. Throughout history, their innumerable shapes, crenulations, and vast variety of colors and patterns have inspired painters and jewelers,...

As this absorbing saga of a modern English family opens, 64-year-old Penelope Keeling is returning to her country house following a heart attack, and her three adult children have varying reactions to the news. The narrative is actually a series of deftly interwoven vignettes that shift back and forth in time; each chapter centers on one of the principal players in the family`s history. The unifying thread is an oil painting entitled "The Shell Seekers," done by Penelope`s father. Pilcher`s characters are well-drawn, real, and engrossing people. A thoroughly charming book for most fiction collections.

No characters in English literature since those in the great Dickens gallery have taken so firm a hold upon the British and American imagination as Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. They have indeed been elevated above the level of fiction and into the realm of mythology where the learned and the simple meet on an equal footing. The present selection draws the best stories from the several Sherlock Holmes volumes, including one of the longer books, "The Sign of Four", in its logical place among the other chosen tales: "Silver Blaze", "The Speckled Band", "A Scandal in Bohemia", "The Naval Treaty", "The Blue Carbuncle", "The Greek Interpreter", "The Red-Headed League", "The Empty House", "The Missing Three-Quarter", and "His Last Bow"....
