Past
and present collide when an Alzheimer’s patient’s fragile memory holds the key
to solving mysteries dating back to World War II—including a long lost secret
love affair.
Music professor Gus LeGarde is just doing a favor
for a friend when he agrees to play piano for church services at a local
nursing home. He doesn’t expect to be drawn into a new friendship with an
elderly Alzheimer’s patient dubbed “the music man” or to stumble across a decades-old
mystery locked inside the man’s mind.
Octogenarian Kip Sterling doesn’t know his own
name—but he speaks Gus’s language, spouting jazz terms like “cadence” and
“interlude” and “riff.” He’s also obsessed with “his Bella,” but nobody knows
who she is.
When Kip is given a new drug called Memorphyl, he
starts to remember bits and pieces of his life. Gus learns Bella was Kip’s
first and only love, but their relationship was shrouded in scandal. Intrigued,
Gus agrees to help search for her. Could she still be alive?
Horrified when the miracle drug suddenly stops
working and patients begin to backslide, Gus panics. Can he help Kip find his
beloved Bella before his newfound memories disappear?

A collection of short stories featuring some of Agatha Christie's best-loved detectives -- Hercule Poirot, Parker Pyne, Mr Satterthwaite and Harley Quin! All great crime writers have their favourite creations. Similarly, every great sleuth has his own preferred method of deduction. Take the charming Parker Pyne, who relies upon an intuitive knowledge of human nature to solve the Problem at Pollensa Bay. Or Mr Satterthwaite, who seeks inspiration through his collaboration with the enigmatic Mr Quin in The Harlequin Tea Set mystery. Then, of course, there's Poirot, whose measured analysis of motive and opportunity is tested to the full in Yellow Iris, when he receives an anonymous call about a matter of life and death.From Library JournalDame Agatha Christie's prolific output of novels, short stories, and plays have sold more than 400 million copies and have been translated into 103 languages. Only the Bible and works by Shakespeare have outdistanced her. Problems at Pollensa Bay & Other Stories provides a delightful addition to this vast body of writing by "the mistress of mystery." Though these eight stories are not new, several are less well known, and this audiobook represents an exciting renewal of one of the world's most popular authors. "The Harlequin Tea Set," thought to be Dame Agatha's last short story, is a tale of mistaken identity and features Mr. Saterthwaite and Harley Quin, who also appear together in "The Love Detectives," a little-known story about a messy love triangle. Mr. Parker Pyne, Christie's goverment statistician turned detective, is called upon to save a love-struck young man in the title story. Also included is a mystery involving the eccentric and slightly pompous Hercule Poirot. The audiobook is narrated by Jonathan Cecil, whose superb vocal adaptations greatly enhance Dame Agatha's work. This is an excellent production, highly entertaining, and a most worthwhile purchase for any library.?Gretchen Browne, Rockville Centre P.L., Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.
