The Hissing of the Silent Lonely Room: The Fifth Detective Inspector Christy Kennedy Mystery
United Kingdom: Do Not Press 2002. 1st ed.with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in dust jacket not price clipped with protective mylar cover. ".The death of singer/songwriter Esther Bluewood appears to be another tragic rock 'n' roll story a sensitive suicide-prone star succumbs too young. Her carefully arranged body is found near the open oven door; she had a history of failed suicide attempts; and her husband a lover and a nanny are all eager to pronounce the death a suicide. But Kennedy an admirer of Bluewood's classic album Axis; Kennedy's on-again off-again lover journalist ann rea always lower case; and others aren't so sure. The team's cautious and thorough approach to the forensic evidence is matched by a thorough probing into the tangled tortuous relationships Bluewood forged while coming to terms with her craft. Charles paints a convincing portrait of an artist who fashioned her art out of her own pain and managed to give it near universal appeal. The parasites feeding off her success are not a pretty lot but did one of them cause her death and if so how A good puzzle memorable characters and an elegant if not simple solution should help move Charles's series into the top rank of British police procedurals.

Small 4to. 190 mm. Later blue boards binding; leather title strip lettered in gilt. Clean and attractive copy. Charles I (1600-1649), King of Great Britain and Ireland. In his early disputes, arguments, and battles with the Scots, tried a new tool. He resolved to call an English parliament, and to ask for means to enable him to make war effectually upon Scotland. The discovery of an attempt made by the Scottish leaders to open negotiations with the king of France led him to hope that the national English feeling would be touched. In the meanwhile the English privy councillors offered him a loan which would enable him at least to gather an army without parliamentary aid. The Short parliament of 1640 was opened by the King on 13 April with a few words indicative of the gravity of the situation, the task of more fully setting forth the royal wishes and intentions being devolved upon the Lord Keeper (Baron Finch). Under Pym's leadership the Parliament showed itself disposed to ask for redress of grievances as a condition of a grant of supply, and it subsequently refused to give money unless peace were made with the Scots. On 5 May Charles dissolved parliament by means of this Declaration. Getting money by irregular means, he proceeded to push on the war, and formed an Irish army to join the mutinous and un-warlike Royal army. Terrified and exasperated Englishmen, believed that this army would be used in England to crush their liberties. The Scots knew that the opinion in England was in their favour, and they had already entered into communication with the parliamentary leaders. On 20 Aug. they crossed the Tweed, defeated part of the royal army at Newburn on the 28th, and soon afterwards occupied Newcastle and Durham. Charles's money was by this time almost exhausted, and he was obliged to summon the English peers to meet him in a great council at York, as there was no time to get together a full parliament. The great council met on 24 Sept. It at once insisted on opening negotiations with the Scots, and sent some of its members to London to obtain a loan to support the army during the progress of the treaty. Charles had now agreed to summon another parliament, and the negotiations opened at Ripon were adjourned to London.
