Kuhusu kitabu pepe hiki

A woman will do anything to save the man she loves—even marry another—in this political thriller from the author of the Miss Silver Mysteries.

Ten days ago, Jim Mackenzie was arrested and sentenced to death, accused of engaging in counter-revolutionary activities. The Scottish political prisoner expects to die at the end of a Bolshevist bullet today. Instead, he's given an unexpected reprieve. His life is now in the hands of his fiancée, Laura Cameron.

On the day Jim is to be executed, Laura receives a visit from an engineer named Basil Stevens, who offers her the chance to save the man she loves. One of Laura's distant relatives has died, leaving her the sole heir to his successful engineering combine. All she has to do is marry Stevens, whose real name is Vassili Stefanoff, and elect him to the board of directors, and her beloved Jim will go free. As Laura's bargain with the devil thrusts her into grave peril—and the key to a top-secret invention falls into enemy hands—it's now up to Mackenzie to save the woman he loves from having to make the ultimate sacrifice.

Kuhusu mwandishi

Patricia Wentworth (1878–1961) was one of the masters of classic English mystery writing. Born in India as Dora Amy Elles, she began writing after the death of her first husband, publishing her first novel in 1910. In the 1920s, she introduced the character who would make her famous: Miss Maud Silver, the former governess whose stout figure, fondness for Tennyson, and passion for knitting served to disguise a keen intellect. Along with Agatha Christie's Miss Marple, Miss Silver is the definitive embodiment of the English style of cozy mysteries.
