Paperback. Condición: Good. On the eve of battle, passions are running high. IN THE SUMMER OF 1815, with Napolean Bonaparte marching down from the north, Brussels is a whirlwind of parties, balls and soirees.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. The superlatively analytical Inspector Hemingway is confronted by a murder that seems impossible?no one was near the murder weapon at the time the shot was fired. Everyone on the scene seems to have a motive, not to mention the wherewithal to commit murder, and alibis that simply don't hold up. The inspector is sorely tried by a wide variety of suspects, including the neglected widow, the neighbor who's in love with her, her resentful daughter, and a patently phony Russian prince preying on the widow's emotional vulnerability and social aspirations. And then there's the blackmail plot that may?or may not?be at the heart of the case?PRAISE FOR GEORGETE HEYER: Our Georgette Heyer display of the Sourcebooks reprints has been a huge success, not only to those early fans like myself, but to many new readers who appreciate her style and wit.Nancy Olson, Quail Ridge Books, Raleigh, NCReading Georgette Heyer is the next best thing to reading Jane Austen.Publishers WeeklyWonderful characters, elegant, witty writing, perfect period detail, and rapturously romantic.
