GOWNSMAN'S GALLOWS
Lyons Colorado U.S.A.: Rue Morgue Press 2005. 1st prtg. A fine unread copy of the trade paperback. First published in England in 1957 this third Ringwood novel garnered rave reviews from the British press. A body in an Oxford haystack sends Inspector Ringwood to France where memories of the Resistance are still very fresh. Oxford murders always present problems mused the Scotland Yard official especially when there's a Frenchman involved. So it was only natural that the Praefect of Pentecost College asked the Yard to send an Oxford man to look into the matter. Inspector Richard Ringwood with the aid of his bloodhound traced the body in the haystack back to an Oxford undergraduate's ancient car. But the boy has disappeared along with his older brother whose exploits behind enemy lines in France during the Nazi occupation have made him a national hero. He just might also be a murderer trying to relive his glory days of high adventure. 1st Prtg. Pictorial Wrappers. Fine. Illus. by Pudim Rob. Trade Paperback. Rue Morgue Press Paperback

The Cretan Counterfeit
Lyons Colorado U.S.A.: Rue Morgue Press 2004. 1st US edition. A fine unread copy of the trade paperback. When Sir Alban found a Minoan ring where a Minoan ring shouldn't be found it made his reputation. It may also have cost him his life. Inspector Richard Ringwood and his new wife Clare a fellow Oxford graduate enjoy reading between the lines of the obituaries in the London Times over breakfast. They were especially delighted to discover a particularly nasty notice. Sir Alban Worrall's obituary contained all the usual flattering words but it's pretty obvious that the author thought the dearly departed had bought rather than earned his reputation as an archaeologist. Shortly afterwards a young woman who had come to the dead man's defense in an impassioned letter to the Times is nearly killed in a knife attack. Ringwood's investigation moves from the streets of London to the halls of the British Museum before it eventually winds its way back to a trench in Corfu and a most surprising murderer. The author and her husband Austin Farrer described by the Archbishop of Canterbury as "possibly the greatest Anglican mind of the twentieth century" lived in Oxford where Austin was a Fellow at Trinity College and later Warden of Keble College. The Farrers were intimate friends to CS. Lewis Charles Williams J.R.R. Tolkien. and Dorothy L. Sayers a group collectively known as the Inklings. The Cretan Counterfeit was first published in England in 1954 and makes its first appearance in the U.S. in this edition. First US Edition. Pictorial Wrappers. Fine. Trade Paperback.

THE MISSING LINK A Rue Morgue Vintage Mystery
Lyons Colorado U.S.A.: Rue Morgue Press 2004. 1st prtg. A fine unread copy. A gypsy woman's vision puts a gentleman copper on the trail of a kidnapper in the streets gardens and halls of Oxford. When two month-old Perdita Link goes missing from her pram in an Oxford don's garden Inspector Richard Ringwood is asked to interrupt his courting to track her down. It's a very perplexing case. There are almost as many suspects as leads including a gypsy woman a mysterious foreign intruder an observing young thug a conscientious nanny and even an eccentric don or two. All Inspector Ringwood knows for sure is that his chances of finding young Perdita alive lessen with each passing hour. With the help of his fianc�e Claire Liddicote and Sam Plummer a resourceful if plodding Oxford policeman Richard explores every corner of this ancient university town from its academic halls to nearby gypsy encampments. An Oxford graduate himself Richard is equally at home trading witticisms in Latin with the dons as he is in using his limited Romany book-learned he has no idea how the words are pronounced to converse with an old gypsy woman. He's taken aback when she goes into a trance and tells him he is to deal with "a single loss a double find." Written by the w ife of Austin Farrer described by the Archbishop of Canterbury as "'possibIy the greatest Anglican mind ol the twentieth century" this very cleverly titled 1952 traditional English mystery offers up a marvelous portrait ot life in Oxford where the Farrers were intimate friends to CS. Lewis Charles Williams .J.R.R. Tolkien and Dorothy L. Sayers. While there's plenty ot attention paid to the coming and goings of the dons much of it with tongue firmly planted in cheek Farrer also depicts the daily doings of their families as well as the townspeople. with an insider's quiet humor. The action comes to a head during a very avant garde performance of Shakespeare's 'The Winter's Tale' leading to Richard's gripping fnial battle with a most fiercesome adversary. 192 pages. 1st Prtg. Pictorial Wrappers. Fine. Illus. by Pudim Rob. Trade Paperback. Rue Morgue Press Paperback
