Delightful. In flashbacks, Dawson does a fine job bringing WWII-era Los Angeles to life. Publishers Weekly (2/28/11)What now remains of Hollywood's Golden Era? A wealth of publicity materials was distributed nationwide to theaters, but they were usually treated as rubbish and disposed of when each movie finished its run. However, a surprising number of posters, still production photos, lobby cards, inserts, title cards, and the like have survived, and some of these memorabilia are of enormous value to collectors.

Shipcott in bleak mid-winter: a close knit community where no stranger
goes unnoticed. So when an elderly woman is murdered in her bed, village
policeman Jonas Holly is doubly shocked. How could someone have killed
and left no trace?Jonas finds himself sidelined as the investigation is
snatched away from him by an abrasive senior detective. Is his first
murder investigation over before it’s begun? But this isn’t the end of
it for Jonas, because someone in the village is taunting him, blaming him for the tragedy, and watching every move he makes...Belinda Bauer first novel Blacklands won the CWA Gold Dagger for Best Crime Novel 2010Talking about the new book, Darkside, Bauer remarked: 'Darkside is
the story of a young policeman who gets hopelessly out of his depth
while trying to catch the killer of elderly and vulnerable people in the
tiny village where he lives with his chronically ill wife. He is
sidelined by the homicide detectives who are called in, and a series of
sinister notes accuse him of failing to do his job.'Darkside was
terrible to write. I was frequently reduced to tears while wrestling
with what the characters were going through and with all its twists and
turns. I ended up moulding the plot out of clay just so that I could get
some visual sense of what I was doing. It sounds pretentious but it
really helped. When I finished Darkside I hated it but the more I live
with it, the more I like it. I'm interested to see what readers
think...' Views: 24
Published for the first time in English, Panorama is a superb rediscovered novel of the Holocaust by a neglected modern master. One of a handful of death camp survivors to fictionalize his experiences in German, H. G. Adler is an essential author--referenced by W. G. Sebald in his classic novel Austerlitz, and a direct literary descendant of Kafka.When The Journey was discovered in a Harvard bookshop and translated by Peter Filkins, it began a major reassessment of the Prague-born H. G. Adler by literary critics and historians alike. Known for his monumental Theresienstadt 1941--1945, a day-by-day account of his experiences in the Nazi slave-labor community before he was sent to Auschwitz, Adler also wrote six novels. The very depiction of the Holocaust in fiction caused furious debate and delays in their publication. Now Panorama, his first novel, written in 1948, is finally available to convey the kinds of truths that only fiction... Views: 24
