How many acts of murder have each of us followed on a screen? What does that say about us? Do we remain law-abiding citizens who wouldn’t hurt a fly? Film historian David Thomson, known for wit and subversiveness, leads us into this very delicate subject. While unpacking classics such as Seven, Kind Hearts and Coronets, Strangers on a Train, The Conformist, The Godfather, and The Shining, he offers a disconcerting sense of how the form of movies makes us accomplices in this sinister narrative process. By turns seductive and astringent, very serious and suddenly hilarious, Murder and the Movies admits us into what Thomson calls “a warped triangle”: the creator working out a compelling death; the killer doing his and her best; and the entranced reader and spectator trying to cling to life and a proper sense of decency.

Once more we meet the inimitable Inspector Albert V. Tretheway and his colleague, Constable Jonathan (Jake) Small, in the Canadian city of Fort York in 1939. Pranks begin when Tretheway's beloved bowler hat disappears. Three weeks later Tretheway and Jake investigate a nervous neighbor's report about an anonymous phone tip that her long-dead husband is in her garage. They find instead a live horse wearing Tretheway's missing bowler. The pranks escalate, and only Tretheway connects them and surmises they are movie-inspired. The guessing game begins. Which movie is next? When the fourth prank involves a pre-dug grave, the Hindu Goddess Kali and the murder of a popular Bugle-Major, Tretheway spearheads a chase, cerebral and physical, through more movie murder adventures to a fiery spectacular finale.

Hollywood New Times film critic Ryan Hackbart is whisked down the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival, dragged in by the French National Police as a suspect in the murder of the lead actress of the festival's opening-night film. Interrogated but released, Ryan is still considered a prime suspect. His passport confiscated, and now hounded by the world media, Ryan's movie-mind clues him that he is the fall guy in a Hitchcock-like thriller - he must solve the murder before the culprit kills him or the police arrest him. Aided by an indomitable female companion, Delisha, Ryan's investigation thrusts him inside the most glamorous film festival in the world and opens his eyes to what is underneath Cannes' red carpet. He's engulfed into a dangerous maelstrom of celebrity, high-fashion, egos, fake news, Russian billionaires and ruthless wannabees. A murder mystery/romance, The Red Carpet at Cannes is a captivating, behind-the-scenes look at the glitz, intrigue, and romance of the world's most celebrated film festival. It's a five-star travelogue straight into a celebrity universe: dazzling parties, scrumptious cuisine, superstar celebrities, high fashion, and movie-world politics.

A policeman tracks a killer inspired by 1939’s hit films in “an entertaining read . . . chock-full of menace, momentum, and multiple Movietone moments” (Booklist). Inspector Albert V. Tretheway is perturbed when his beloved bowler hat disappears in what seems to be a relatively harmless prank. Three weeks later Tretheway and Constable Jake Small investigate a nervous neighbor’s report of an anonymous phone tip that her long-dead husband is in her garage. What they find there instead is a live horse—wearing Tretheway’s missing bowler. As the pranks escalate, Tretheway connects them and surmises they are inspired by the films showing at the local theater in Fort York, Ontario. The guessing game begins. Which of this year’s Hollywood releases is next? When the fourth prank involves a pre-dug grave, the Hindu goddess Kali, and the murder of a popular Bugle-Major, Tretheway spearheads a chase, both cerebral and physical, through more movie murder adventures to a fiery, spectacular finale . . . “[An] amiable sleuth . . . [A] gently satirical series.” —The New York Times Book Review

Opening in a desolate Derbyshire coal-mining village, young student Philip Romilly finds himself rejected and despondent, resorting to desperate measures in order to secure future prospects for himself. Soon established in New York with a successful career – elements of Philip’s past return to haunt him. Can he ever truly be free? A melodramatic mystery from author E. Phillips Oppenheim. E. Phillips Oppenheim (1866-1946) was a hugely prolific and highly popular British author of novels and short stories. Born in Tottenham, London, Oppenheim left school as a teenager and worked for his leather-merchant father for 20 years prior to launching his literary career. Oppenheim published five novels under the pseudonym ‘Anthony Partridge’ before establishing his reputation as a writer under his own name. An internationally successful author, Oppenheim’s stories revolved mainly around glamourous characters, luxurious settings, and themes of espionage, suspense, and crime. He is widely regarded as one of the earliest pioneers of the thriller and spy-fiction genre as it is recognised today. Oppenheim’s incredible literary success meant that his own life soon began to mirror that of his opulent characters. He held lavish, Gatsby-style parties at his French Villa and was rumoured to have had frequent love affairs aboard his luxury yacht. Oppenheim’s success earned him the cover of Time magazine in 1927. Some of his most well-known novels include ‘The Great Impersonation’, ‘The Long Arm of Mannister’ and ‘The Moving Finger’.

No murderer in history is more enduringly fascinating, notorious, or mysterious than Jack the Ripper. And few are as cinematic, instantly evoking images of menacing alleyways, flickering gaslights and hansom cabs, swirling fog, prostitutes in their tawdry finery, and the cape-shrouded figure of a faceless stalker. In this absorbing guide, Denis Meikle looks at Jack the Ripper on the large and small screen. Close attention is paid to such standards as Baker and Berman's 1958 "Jack the Ripper" and Hammer Studio's 1971 "Hands of the Ripper, " as well as many less familiar examples of the Ripper genre. Meikle brings the story right up to the present with a penetrating account of the filming of "From Hell, " based on the groundbreaking graphic novel by Alan Moore and starring Johnny Depp and Heather Graham. Horror, costume drama, conspiracy theory: all the cinematic angles are explored, as the author uncovers the murky origins of the slasher genre.
