Ferrars A milk bottle opened, but not by hands; ashes in a fireplace that had issued no smoke; fresh flowers that should have been wilted, and wilted flowers that should have been freshthese clues to the mysterious absence of Margot Dalbiel, friend, neighbor and business associate of many people, only serve to increase and add to the confusion and apprehension surrounding the police investigation. And still more confusing is the complex tapestry of time and turning which confronts the police as they interrogate each party concerned. Scene: England. "Double Exposure" by Donald Mackenzie. Christopher Hendry, excommando and professional burglar, faces a long term in prison for a crime he didn't commit. Not far away from the courtroom where he is standing trial, members of an unnamed British service are discussing Christopher Hendry from another point of view. Ts he the man to enter the house near a large German city, open the Mark IV Bode safe in the east wing, and retrieve a vital roll of film? Tire answer is Yes, and the result is a spy thriller of the first rank. Hendry's character has that extra quality of surprise. He will obey orders, but on his own terms. That may make him the one man who can bring off the coup in Germany, if he can be taken out of prison, If he doesn't go off the deep end over the woman he loves, if he can be persuaded that thfe offer of 5000 francs and freedom is something more than a ticket to oblivion. "(lie!eon's Ride" by J. J. Marric. The trouble began one evening on the top deck of a London bus, when the lone passenger, a man named Robert Dean, was attacked and robbed. The young woman bus conductor thought she might recognize the thugs, and because of that, she risked her life by saying she was willing to give evidence. Terror continued to ride the busses- While underground, in London's vast, complex subway system, a number of i>eople plunged to their deaths before oncoming trains. Suicides? Accidents? Or murder? The Yard began to invistigates There were other problems looming for George Gideon of Scotland Yard -- Because a pretty messenger girl talked to a man who started to sit l>eside her on her bus trips; because the transportation workers wanted to do things their own way; because a man named Kenworthy knew a man named Symes. Once again J. J. Marric has written an exciting story of the British police at work-and this time he includes a fascinating picture of London's transportation system as crime moves back and forth through the huge, sprawling city. "Such is Death" by Leo Bruce. An ingeniously constructed mystery in which the perfect murder-completely without motive- is planned and carried out. Carolus Deene, an English schoolmaster with a passion for detection, solves the case in a highly unorthodox fashion. Contains many surprises and a sparkling sense of humor. ".. A joy to read; the hero, suave Carolus, Is a real charmer." John O'London's "What a witty writer Leo Bruce Is!" Noel Coward "As long as stories as excellent as this continue to appear the detective story is in no danger of dying." Norman Blood During the middle 1800's, the Yankee Clipper sailing vessels carried as much as a million tons of dried ginseng root from U.S. to China, per year. Everybody believes in the Golden Rule -- the first three words, especially.
