DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Cremorne Gardens was an actual, notorious 19th-century pleasure ground along the banks of the Thames, in London. The sexual high jinks that happened there so outraged its prurient neighbors, that eventually the Gardens was destroyed. Here, however, stories from the infamous Cremorne Gardens live on. Miss Caroline Redfield of Cremorne Gardens is drawn into an art fraud in an attempt to help her lover. Though she has never investigated a crime before, she has considerable resources to apply to the task — such as her sumptuous hourglass figure, her flashing eyes, and, above all, her willingness to bend over backwards to uncover the truth.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →When viewers think of film noir, they often picture actors like Humphrey Bogart playing characters like Sam Spade in The Maltese Falcon, the film based on the book by Dashiell Hammett. Yet film noir is a genre much richer. The authors first examine the debate surrounding the parameters of the genre and the many different ways it is defined. They discuss the Noir City, its setting and backdrop, and also the cultural (WWII) and institutional (the House UnAmerican Activities Committee, and the Production Code Administration) influences on the subgenres. An analysis of the low budget and series film noirs provides information on those cult classics. With over 200 entries on films, directors, and actors, the Encyclopedia of Film Noir is the most complete resource for film fans, students, and scholars.
