Andrews, Val Sherlock Holmes and the Sandringham House Mystery
London: Breese Books Ltd, 2000. Illustrated Card Cover. Very Good. 8vo 0947533532 No inscription. 112 pages clean and tight. The November of 1902 was living up to that season's reputation and I could scarce see the other side of Baker Street from the front window of number 221B. But my friend Sherlock Holmes seemed rather uninterested in my remarks concerning the weather and .... So begins yet another stunning adventure from the prolific pen of Val Andrews. A famous entertainer is invited by the King to give a command performance at Sandringham and tragically the brilliance of the performance is marred by the unexpected disappearance from the music room of a priceless painting. Sherlock Holmes undergoes the most awful experience (possibly the worst that man can endure) in this story and his powers of deduction are stretched to the absolute limit as he unravels yet another mystery from the fertile imagination of Val Andrews. A true Sherlock Holmes classic that will delight every reader. Cover Image Research by Brian Girling. (Book ref. 121804)   £6.95

Kirst, Hans Hellmut; Brownjohn, John Maxwell Twilight of the Generals
London: Collins, 1979. First UK Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo 0002210452 Dust jacket complete but price clipped. Red cloth with black titling on spine. Previous owner's inscription on ffep. 252 pages clean and tight. Clean and tight. Hans Hellmut Kirst has written his most highly dramatic novel since The Night of the Generals, about one of the most notorious episodes in the Third Reich: how the Commander-in-Chief of the Wehrmacht, General von Fritsch, and the War Minister, Field Marshal von Blomberg, were framed by Hitler in 1938 so that he might decimate the top ranks of the officer corps and gain control of the armed forces. How could two such upright, honourable, highly respected, old school officers be brought low by the upstart Nazi regime? With that cynical disregard for truth which became the hallmark of the Nazis when they were out to get their man, von Fritsch was accused - on the basis of fabricated `evidence' - of being a homosexual; while von Blomberg was brought down by means of his wife, a young woman wholly guiltless of the slanderous accusations against her - and known to be so by none more than Hitler and Goering, the witnesses at her wedding and now the subtle architects of her ruin. With true novelist's skill, Hans Hellmut Kirst has collated all the available factual material and woven it into a story of stunning impact set against the impressively presented period background of Hitler's rise to power.
