-London Daily Telegraph

Praise for Warren Adler's Fiona Fitzgerald Mystery Series

"High-class suspense."

-The New York Times on American Quartet

"Adler's a dandy plot-weaver, a real tale-teller."

-Los Angeles Times on American Sextet

"Adler's depiction of Washington-its geography, social whirl, political intrigue-rings true."

-Booklist on Senator Love

"A wildly kaleidoscopic look at the scandals and political life of Washington D.C."

-Los Angeles Times on Death of a Washington Madame

"Both the public and the private story in Adler's second book about intrepid sergeant Fitzgerald make good reading, capturing the political scene and the passionate duplicity of those who would wield power."

-Publishers Weekly on Immaculate Deception

To my three sons,

David, Jonathan and Michael

    Twenty Years After(II) 达尔达尼央浪漫曲之二:二十年后(上)(英文版)

    Alexandre Dumas was a French writer. His works have been translated into many languages, and he is one of the most widely read French authors. Twenty Years After first serialized from January to August 1845. It is a sequel to The Three Musketeers and precedes The Vicomte de Bragelonne. The fantastic adventures of the Three Musketeers continue - starting with an intrigue surrounding D'Artagnan who has, for twenty years, remained a lieutenant. The novel follows events in France during the Fronde, during the childhood reign of Louis XIV, and in England near the end of the English Civil War, leading up to the victory of Oliver Cromwell and the execution of King Charles I. Through the words of the main characters, particularly Athos, Dumas comes out on the side of the monarchy in general, or at least the text often praises the idea of benevolent royalty. His musketeers are valiant and just in their efforts to protect young Louis XIV and the doomed Charles I from their attackers.

    Misty Gordon and the Mystery of the Ghost Pirates

    Here is a funny middle-grade mystery from a bright new fiction talent. Things in the New England town of Ashcrumb are getting weird. Or just weirder. Misty Gordon, whose antique-dealing parents drive a van that says "D.E.A.D." on the side (for "Deceased’s Estate and Antique Dealer"), is accustomed to weird. One day, when accompanying her father to the estate of a recently departed clairvoyant, Misty discovers a notebook and a pair of eyeglasses that enable her to see ghosts! And solve mysteries. With the help of her new powers and her best friend, Yoshi, Misty learns that her hometown was settled not by respectable colonists but by pirates! And the ghosts of the pirates are returning to reclaim a dangerous, powerful treasure they lost centuries ago. Who will find it first, Misty or the pirates?
