Lucifer Box - the gorgeous butterfly of King Bertie's reign, portraitist, dandy and terribly good secret agent - is feeling his age. Assigned to observe the activities of fascist leader Olympus Mons and his fanatical Amber Shirts in a snow-bound 1920s New York, Box finds himself framed for a vicious murder. Using all his native cunning, Box escapes aboard a vessel bound for England armed only with a Broadway midget's suitcase and a string of unanswered questions. What lies hidden in the bleak Norfolk convent of St Bede? What is 'the lamb' that Olympus Mons searches for in his bid for world domination? And what has all this to do with a medieval prayer intended to summon the Devil himself? From the glittering sophistication of Art Deco Manhattan to the eerie Norfolk coast and the snow-capped peaks of Switzerland The Devil in Amber takes us on a thrilling ride that pits Lucifer Box against the most lethal adversary of his career : the Prince of Darkness himself.

An Extraordinary and Death-Defying Tour of Edwardian Low Life and High Society, accompanied by our host Lucifer Box Esq - artist, dandy, rake ... and lethal secret agent. Lucifer Box is the darling of the Edwardian belle monde - society's most fashionable portrait painter is a wit, a dandy, a rake, the guest all hostesses (and not a few hosts) must have. But few know that Lucifer Box is also His Majesty's most accomplished and daring secret agent. Beneath London's façade of Imperial grandeur and divine aesthetes seethes an underworld of crazed anarchists, murder, and despicable vice, and Box is at home in both. And so of course when Britain's most prominent scientists begin turning up dead, there is only one man his country can turn to. Lucifer Box ruthlessly deduces and seduces his way from his elegant townhouse at Number 9 Downing Street (all his father left him), to private stews of London and the seediest, most colourful back alleys of Italy, in search of the mighty secret society that may hold the fate of the world in its claw-like hands - the Vesuvius Club.

"Amber and devils - gintaras ir velnis. These may well be the unofficial symbols expressing the irrepressible spirit for survival and endurance of the three Baltic nations tucked away in northern Europe, especially of Lithuania." "Amber is the petrified resin from the pine trees of prehistoric times in which, reading the insects, fragments of leaves and even coins caught in it, one can detect the presence of Man before he himself knew how to record his existence." "Christianity, which came late to the Baltics, also brought in the Devil. Christianity was forced on pagan Lithuania at the end of the 14th century. To compensate for the loss of their pagan god, Perkunas, the Baltic people seized on the devil in whom to deposit their sense of rebellion, preserve their irreducible, ultimate refusal to bow to the Christian god." "All through the Baltic countryside one comes upon little shrines devoted to Christ and Mother Mary. In the log homes, sharing the same living space as Christ and Mary, one will also encounter the leering, pagan, gargoylish face of the Devil: united in opposition, forever the opposite poles of the same faith." "One can almost paraphrase the entire history of the Baltics in these two images. There is a perversity, stubbornness, paganism in their histories that shapes them still. In this book we see evidence of all three qualities, which has guaranteed their survival, even though several times they have brought them almost to the edge of extinction as well. The period which has now just begun is the period of greatest peril. This history tells us why."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Devil's Paradise is the story of a young New York heiress, Amber Hausemann, and her mystical encounter with Lucrecia, a seemingly simple countrywoman who lives in the pueblo of Meseta del Rosario hidden away in the heart of the Spanish Andalucian mountain range. It is a tale in which Amber, quixotic yet innocent by nature, has entanglements with the weighty Lucrecia and struggles to ward off the poisonous powers that threaten to destroy her daughter and herself. It is a tale of ironical twists for, while Amber searches for security among the poor, she finds herself terrorised by the very people in whom she has put her faith. It is a story of the village of Meseta del Rosario itself, emitting signals of morbid paganism. It is a tale of modern day bewitchment; a vision of an occult Spain that still exists, a chiaroscuro of superstition and seasonal lunacy. It is the story of passion and love, when Amber meets Saul Ascencio, an honourable Spaniard from Granada, and learns love and sexual fulfilment for the first time in her life. Prior to the opening of Devil's Paradise, Amber met Simon Foxcroft, who was English by nationality and Amber's professor of art history at univeristy. Stodgy, old-fashioned and a bookworm, Simon was thirty-three years Amber's senior. Eventually they married, following which they settled in New York City where their daughter, Daisy, was born. Five years later, the child was kidnapped and subsequently released, but the toll of this ordeal devastated Amber, who thereafter believed that there was no place in the world safe enough for her and Daisy to reside. At this point Simon, chagrined by the ostentatious publicity that surrounded Amber's life, decided they must move to England and devised a plan whereby they would spend a year in Spain before relocating in London. The story begins when they rent a villa, under a years lease, in the remote pueblo of Meseta del Rosario and Amber encounters Lucrecia, the servant connected to the villa, and her menacing brother-in-law, Placido. From the instant Amber meets Lucrecia, she is certain that she knew her sometime in the past and, as the novel unfolds, she becomes disturbingly influenced by the older woman. Simon loses control of Amber, whom he has always considered more his child than his wife, and remains powerless as the domineering and demonic Lucrecia, convinced that she has finally found her true daughter, uses every possible device to possess Amber and keep her in Meseta; the only place where Amber feels protected. During this time, the Foxcrofts befriend an Australian couple, Perrie and Rebecca Owen, who move into the villa with them. As time passes and Simon and Amber's marriage begins to disintegrate, they both look for solace elsewhere: he with Rebecca, while she meets Saul Ascencio, with whom she has an affair. At the end of the year, both families move to London. In need of distraction, Amber opens a boutique, while otherwise devoting her life to Daisy. Perrie Owen, who is a gentle bisexual, becomes her confidant and, aside from Daisy, is her only source of comfort in England. For a time Amber tries to regain Simon's understanding, but to no avail. In desperation, she returns to the pueblo where Lucrecia, ignorant of Saul's existence, thrives on the collapse of Amber's marriage that has kept her from being 'where and with whom' she is meant to be. Lucrecia now begins to concentrate on the child, the one remaining obstacle that threatens her possession of Amber. With this in mind, she convinces Amber to bring Daisy back to Andalucia while she, with her cagey brother-in-law's assistance, plan Daisy's demise. From this point onwards, the tension escalates to a terrifying pitch, each character responding towards his or her destiny in the midst of sharp, ironic twists, until the gripping events resolve themselves in a surprising conclusion.

And when he lays his eyes on the abbey's new novice, he knows he can never let her become a nun. Having been abandoned as a baby on the steps of the church, Lucas will do anything to live a different lifestyle than the nuns and monks.

He is sent to Canterbury on a pilgrimage with Amber, but while she intends to pray, that is the furthest thing from his mind.

Find out in Amber - Book 3 of the Daughters of the Dagger Series.
