But Dexter's investigations have already carried him to a psychological point of no return. Piece by piece he builds up a fascinating picture of Laura, no looker, but seductive to a wide variety of men, all of whom she dupes and betrays in her hunger for the good life and a stage for her own rare talents...

January 1980) was first published in 1972; Apex is publishing a new edition of this classic of crime literature in its ENGLISH CRIME NOVELS series. [more]

In the not distant future the world hasn't changed so much - men and women still fall in love, laugh, and sip wine - but some have changed, some will live forever as retreads, old souls implanted surgically in the empty bodies of the young. Voss Geraghty is a retread, a retiring government researcher who has been rewarded with a new body. What he wants out of his new life is fun, sex, and adventure, what he finds is disappointment. But there's a growing radical underground that sees the inequity in a society that allows the young to die so that the old may live on... Alicia II is the undisputed science fiction masterpiece by Robert Thurston (* 28. Oktober 1936 in Lockport, New York; † 20. Oktober 2021 in Ridgefield Park, New Jersey) and was first published in 1978; Apex is publishing a new edition of this classic novel in its ENGLISH SCIENCE FICTION NOVELS series. [more]

E-Book Summary: "The story begins when a little girl named Alice spots a rabbit in a coat sprint across her yard. She follows the rabbit into a place of talking animals, magical potions, and wacky events. Although the story is written to be a whimsical children's book; it deals with themes like obedience issues and even a little girl's maturing as she finds she will need to get out of situations using her knowledge and the sometimes non-sensical advice of others. Read to see if and how Alice gets back home." [more]

On a raw, wet, winter's day, as Eloise watches her daughter Deborah's coffin being lowered into the cold ground of the little country churchyard, her over-riding emotions are those of hatred and revenge. To Eloise, Steven appears a cold-blooded murderer, in that by forcing Deborah to agree to an abortion, he has caused her death as surely as if he had killed her with his own hands. Driven by grief and the desire for revenge, Eloise determines she will contrive somehow that Steven shall meet a murderer's rightful end at the hands of the Law. Illusion tells the story of Eloise's ingenious scheming; of how she uses her simple- minded twin sister as, together, they leave their life of self- imposed, strangely old-fashioned seclusion, for the romantic setting of a luxury liner; and of how, on the voyage taking them halfway round the world, strange and entirely unforeseen complications arise, over which Eloise realises she has no control... This spine-chilling mystery is one of the most exciting novels by Frances Keinzley (1922 – 2006), winner of the Literary Award in New Zealand in 1960. Keinzley is more than a talented and intelligent storyteller; she is a subtle psychologist who is able to create believable characters. Ingenious and inventive, with a surprise solution, the book is most cleverly and sensitively worked out. It is both powerful and memorable! [more]

Artists, world-wide, are a special kinda people, avant-garde, open-minded, and capable of feeding from trashcans one moment, and rising to shine the proverbial bauble the next! To some artists may just be glorified prostitutes, to others they are geniuses, or lazy folks prone to fall for any kind of substance abuse. But fact is artists have always been a special 'in-between' social class to the people. In touch with politics, sometimes religion, and often targets of organized crime. No surprise then that bloody murder and detective noir stories have been known throughout the ages. This one here is about a private detective too eager, for his own good. It is a long-hours effort to revive an expired copyright story I enjoyed myself. It plays in the golden age of the genre, the 1940's, with America at war to stop Hitler's monstrosities in Europe and a Tenno gone tyrant in the Pacific. I tried very hard to combine a classic streak, a fitting prose, and some humor here, all in time-efficient minimalism to enjoy reading it on tablet, or smartphone kinda screens! [more]
