A groovy spy thriller and coming-of-age tale set in the Go-go days of the 1960s, done in a chic, retro style sure to charm readers. For 15-year old Antoine, the summer of 1967 will prove to be an unforgettable one full of new discoveries: a secret agent from nowhere, a mysterious troubled girl, and the disappearance of his father--all happening within two days! These events and more conspire to turn his life upside down and into something he could never have imagined. The creators of Atomic Empire turn their vintage-inspired style to the spy-thriller genre that harkens back to a time when James Bond was the biggest action-hero in the world.

“Move over, Jane Austen, for the latest literary ladies who snoop in this... lively series debut.”—Kirkus Reviews on The Vanished Bride Haworth Parsonage, February 1846: The Brontë sisters— Anne, Emily, and Charlotte—are busy with their literary pursuits. As they query publishers for their poetry, each sister hopes to write a full-length novel that will thrill the reading public. They’re also hoping for a new case for their fledgling detecting enterprise, Bell Brothers and Company solicitors. On a bitterly cold February evening, their housekeeper Tabby tells them of a grim discovery at Scar Top House, an old farmhouse belonging to the Bradshaw family. A set of bones has been found bricked up in a chimney breast inside the ancient home. Tabby says it's bad doings, and dark omens for all of them. The rattled housekeeper gives them a warning, telling the sisters of a chilling rumour attached to the family. The villagers believe that, on the verge of bankruptcy, Clifton Bradshaw sold his soul to the devil in return for great riches. Does this have anything to do with the bones found in the Bradshaw house? The sisters are intrigued by the story and feel compelled to investigate. But Anne, Emily, and Charlotte soon learn that true evil has set a murderous trap and they've been lured right into it...

No man could hope to draw together the various fields from which the materials of this book are derived if he were a scholar in any one of them. No one could feel less scholarly than I do. This becomes particularly evident when the subject of Arabic transliteration arises, as it always does in forewords to books on the Middle East. I have before me the handiwork of Hitti, Gibb, and Calverley, three men whose erudition and integrity are of the highest order, and yet I cannot find complete agreement among them.1

Usk Lodge is a modern adaptation of Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey set in South Wales in 2003. Catherine Morgan, an unremarkable tomboy as a child, experiences her first adventure at the ripe age of eighteen when she travels to Cardiff. Armed with an unworldly charm and a vivid imagination, she must overcome the caprices of city living, encountering along the way such characters as the vacuous Mrs Jenkins, coquettish Isabella and the brash Dino Crochetti. Catherine's invitation to Usk Lodge, in her eyes a haven for exploits and intrigue, does lead to an adventure, though not the one she expects. What will become of our heroine?
