‎A TIME FOR THE DEATH OF A KING‎

‎N.Y.: St. Martins 1994. 1st edition December 1994 so stated with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket not price clipped in protective mylar cover. The 1st Nicholas Segalla Time Travel mystery concerning Mary Queen of Scots This series is not being published in England. In 2000 Doherty won The Herodotus Award for Lifetime Achievment presented by the Historical Mystery Appreciation Society for best historical writing. "Mary Stuart: the name itself conjures up images of beauty passion - and murder. Ever since her cruel death on the scaffold at Fotheringhay Castle historians have hotly debated whether or not Mary conspired in the murder of her handsome dissolute husband Lord Darnley in the explosion at Kirk O'Field in 1567. Now more than four hundred years later a mysterious scholar named Nicholas Segalla who may - or may not - have lived centuries before as a Jesuit priest solves one of history's most tantalizing puzzles. Branded a harlot by her fellow monarchs Mary threw caution to the wind after the murder and married the man accused of being Darnley's killer the womanizing Lord Bothwell. Overthrown by her subjects the tragic queen fled to what would ultimately prove her doom at the hands of her cousin Elizabeth I of England. Segalla whose own origins are surrounded in mystery helps uncover clues about questions no one has ever been able to answer: Darnley's body was found unmarked and strangled in the garden; was he warned and by whom Why were a chair a rope and a dagger found lying next to his body Did the killers know Mary would not be spending the night with her consort Who wrote the Casket Letters those scandalous love missives that so incriminated Mary" --publisher.

‎THE DEVIL'S APPRENTICE: An Elizabethan Theater Mystery Featuring Nicholas Bracewell‎

‎NY: St Martins Press 2001. 1st ed. with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in dust jacket with protective mylar cover. The 11th Elizabethan Theatre mystery featuring Nicolas Bracewell. "Murder makes a late entrance in Marston's The Wanton Angel etc. 11th Elizabethan adventure but enough else of interest is going on to keep the reader engaged. The inn yard of the Queen's Head London home of Lord Westfield's Men lies icy cold and deserted in the wake of a long bitter winter that has left the members of the company unemployed and desperate. When they get the opportunity to perform six plays at the Essex estate of Sir Michael Greenleaf the leaders of the company are elated. However there are two conditions: they must accept Davy Stratton the son of a successful Essex merchant as an apprentice and one of the plays that they perform must be entirely new. An interview with young Davy persuades them to accept him while a new play The Witch of Rochester written by a disgruntled lawyer promises to be a hit. The joy of the company is short-lived as one catastrophe after another threatens to halt their productions. The playwright lawyer becomes belligerent an avid Puritan attempts to prevent the company from performing in Essex and Davy himself causes more mayhem and havoc than could ever have been anticipated. When a member of the audience drops dead during one of the performances series hero Nicholas Bracewell determines to seek the truth. Lively characters meticulous attention to historical detail humor and wit more than compensate for the plot's slow evolution." -- Publishers Weekly. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. Book.

‎Wilson, Robert‎

‎A SMALL DEATH IN LISBON GOLD DAGGER AWARD WINNER‎

‎New York: Harcourt 2000. Firdt U.S. edition so stated with complete letter line beginning with A. Fine in dust jacket not price clipped with protective mylar cover. Author's brilliant highly acclaimed mystery set in both WWII and modern day Portugal. Winner of CWA GOLD DAGGER AWARD for Best Crime Novel of the year. "The narrative switches back and forth between 1941 and 1999 and Wilson's wide knowledge of history and keen sense of place make the eras equally vibrant. In 1941 Germany Klaus Felsen an industrialist is approached by the SS high command in a none-too-friendly manner and is "persuaded" to go to Lisbon and oversee the sale--or smuggling--of wolfram also known as tungsten used in the manufacture of tanks and airplanes. World War II Portugal is neutral where business is concerned and too much of the precious metal is being sold to Britain when Germany needs it to insure that Hitler's blitzkrieg is successful. Cut to 1999 Lisbon where the daughter of a prominent lawyer has been found dead on a beach. Ze Coehlo a liberal police inspector who is a widower with a daughter of his own must sift through the life of Catarina Oliviera and discover why she was so brutally murdered. Her father is enigmatic her mother suicidal; her friends were rock musicians and drug addicts. The reader is treated to a wonderful portrait of Lisbon in the aftermath of the 1974 revolution that ousted Salazar from power and the scars from that conflict are still close to the surface for the citizens of Lisbon including Coehlo and his colleagues. We also see World War II in a slightly different manner from that to which we are accustomed--through the eyes of the Germans and the Portuguese. The pace of the book is leisurely but compelling as the events of 1941 and those in 1999 merge in an extraordinary climax." --Otto Penzler. First US Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine.

‎THE DREAM OF SCIPIO SIGNED COPY‎

‎New York New York U.S.A.: Riverhead Books 2002. First edition with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket not price clipped in protective mylar cover. SIGNED COPY signature only by the author on the front end paper. This is another historical novel by the author of An Instance of the Fingerpost. "Critic Harold Bloom once opined that literature is a series of misprisions or misreadings by writers of their predecessors. Although Pears might not have had Bloom in mind in his latest novel the premise is an unlikely embodiment of Bloom's thesis. The story unfolds in three time frames in each of which a man and a woman are in love civilization itself is crumbling and Jews become the scapegoats for larger cultural anxieties. In the first scenario Manlius is a wealthy Roman living in Provence in the empire's crepuscular 5th century. Although he has received the last echo of Hellenic wisdom he is surrounded by believers in a nasty sect he despises Christianity but must find some means to protect Provence from the barbarians. In fighting for "civilization" he becomes a bishop and the promoter almost accidentally of one of the West's first pogroms. In the next narrative time period a manuscript of Manlius's poem "The Dream of Scipio" a neo-Platonic allegory is discovered by Olivier de Noyen a Provencal poet of the 14th century. As his 20th-century interpreter Julien Barneuve discovers in investigating his violent death de Noyen was attacked because he got caught up in a political intrigue in Avignon while trying to save his love Rebecca from a pogrom unleashed by the Black Death. Barneuve Pears's third protagonist has a Jewish lover too but is enmeshed in the racist policies of Vichy France. Pears has a nice sense of what it means to live in a time when things fall apart and not only the center but even the peripheries will not hold." -- Publishers Weekly. Signed by Author.
