Publisher's Weekly calls Derek Smith's Whistle Up The Devil "one of the most intelligent and crafty impossible murder novels of all time." Frequently cited in Top 10 locked room mystery lists, and nominated to the Masterpiece category in Roland Lacourbe et al's 1001 Chambres Closes (1001 Locked Rooms) 2013 bibliography, Whistle up the Devil (1953) is an indispensable addition to any locked room lover's library. But Derek Smith also wrote two other impossible crime novels, neither of which was published in the USA or the UK: -Come to Paddington Fair (1997) featured the same series detective Algy Lawrence, solving a very clever murder in plain sight on a London stage during a live performance, which no one could have committed. Its Japanese publisher called it a masterpiece.-Model for Murder, written as an addition to the Sexton Blake canon, but probably too cerebral for the audience, it is nevertheless a well-constructed thriller with an ingenious locked room puzzle.This omnibus edition includes all three novels, together with an introduction by noted locked room expert Bob Adey, who knew Derek well, plus an unpublished short story (not an impossible crime.) It also includes a mass of illuminating background material about this little-known Golden Age writer who deserves a much wider audience.

The Washington Post calls Come to Paddington Fair "a masterpiece."The death scene of a West End play goes horribly wrong in front of a matinee audience to which someone has invited a Scotland Yard inspector and his detective friend. But was the heroine shot by the stage gun fired by her jealous lover, or by the mystery man alone in a stage-side box? Apparently neither could have done it... Impossibility is piled on impossibility in the extraordinary plot which contains a new twist in every chapter. Locked Room International translates and publishes impossible crime/locked room works from all over the world, including the works of Paul Halter, regarded by many as the successor to John Dickson Carr.

Il romanzo (1953) è uno di quei capolavori dimenticati – tranne che dai collezionisti, per i quali è sempre stato un libro di culto – che solo recentemente sono tornati a disposizione del grande pubblico. Secondo il Publisher’s Weekly contiene “uno dei più intelligenti e scaltri delitti impossibili di tutti i tempi”. I crimini che vengono commessi sono in realtà due, entrambi sbalorditivi, e appartengono alla categoria dei cosiddetti delitti della camera chiusa. Nel primo caso, lo scettico e incauto figlio maggiore di una ricca famiglia inglese decide, a un mese dal matrimonio, di farsi beffe di un’antica maledizione passando la notte in una particolare stanza dell’avita dimora, dove, secondo la leggenda, aveva misteriosamente trovato la morte un suo antenato. Preoccupati, il fratello e la fidanzata incaricano il giovane investigatore dilettante Algy Lawrence di prendere delle misure di sicurezza. Così lui e il fratello si piazzano davanti alla porta, sbarrata dall’interno, mentre un poliziotto sorveglia la finestra dall’esterno. Nonostante ciò, allo scoccare della mezzanotte un urlo riecheggia per la casa. Il secondo delitto, connesso al primo, avviene... È sufficiente sapere che la risoluzione di entrambi sarà uno shock anche per il lettore più smaliziato.

A bestselling and internationally-acclaimed masterpiece of the locked-room mystery genreJapan, 1936. An old eccentric artist living with seven women has been found dead- in a room locked from the inside. His diaries reveal alchemy, astrology and a complicated plan to kill all seven women. Shortly afterwards, the plan is carried out: the women are found dismembered and buried across rural Japan. By 1979, these Tokyo Zodiac Murders have been obsessing a nation for decades, but not one of them has been solved. A mystery-obsessed illustrator and a talented astrologer set off around the country - and you follow, carrying the enigma of the Zodiac murderer through madness, missed leads and magic tricks. You have all the clues, but can you solve the mystery before they do? Born in 1948 in Hiroshima prefecture, Soji Shimada has been dubbed the 'God of Mystery' by international audiences. A novelist, essayist and short-story writer, he made his literary debut in 1981 with The Tokyo Zodiac Murders, which was shortlisted for the Edogawa Rampo Prize. Blending classical detective fiction with grisly violence and elements of the occult, he has gone on to publish several highly acclaimed series of mystery fiction, including the casebooks of Kiyoshi Mitarai and Takeshi Yoshiki. In 2009 Shimada received the prestigious Japan Mystery Literature Award in recognition of his life's work.

"In early '79 I was already engaged in what eventually turned out to be a lengthy photographic study of the New Romantics (though back then they were not known as such). I'd been documenting this nascent scene in the Soho nightclub 'Billy's' and, one evening, a group of about half-a-dozen skinheads turned up. They saw me taking photographs and one of them, a guy called Wally, asked me if I'd like to take some photos of them too. They seemed pretty friendly and not at all camera shy. I took a few snaps, we got talking and Wally suggested I go with the whole gang on one of their Bank Holiday jaunts to the seaside. That was what led, eventually, to five years of photographing skinheads. In those five years I got to know some of the skinheads quite well and liked many of them." Derek Ridgers All the photos were taken between 1979 - 1984 in either London or nearby coastal towns. Over 100 photos including 32 pages of colour.

WARNING: This book contains intense scenes and sometimes graphic depictions. If you are squeamish or otherwise sensitive to your own mental imagery, consider reading something else. "The Dark of The Grey is the book that reads like a movie in your mind. It's an epic journey across time and space, with little time to breathe between the pages which seem to turn themselves."The Dark of The Grey: Omnibusis an exciting adventure set in the not-so-distant future in the year 2035. The world hinges precariously on the government's extra-terrestrial disclosure. The story emerges innocently enough but quickly plunges the reader into a terrifying journey as they follow our protagonist, Nathan Carlisle (Nate), through a story of bizarre plot twists, dynamic character arcs, and terrifying revelations steeped in a paranormal undercurrent. The story is written in a journal-style format, complete with date, time, and location. Description: Nate was a computer programmer living on a small island just north of Seattle. He enjoyed a quiet and uncomplicated existence away from all the big city's chaos and trouble, just how he liked it. But something was terribly wrong. Nate was suffering from sleep paralysis, but he would soon discover a much more sinister truth behind his ongoing problem. This revelation sets Nate on a one-way path across the U.S. in an effort to find his father and solve the mystery of who and what he is.
