Richard Temperley arrives at Euston station early on a fogbound London morning. He takes refuge in a nearby hotel, along with a disagreeable fellow passenger, who had snored his way through the train journey. But within minutes the other man has snored for the last time-he has been shot dead while sleeping in an armchair. Temperley has a brief encounter with a beautiful young woman, but she flees the scene. When the police arrive, Detective Inspector James discovers a token at the crime scene: a small piece of enamelled metal. Its colour was crimson, and it was in the shape of the letter Z. Temperley sets off in pursuit of the mysterious woman from the hotel, and finds himself embroiled in a cross-country chase- by train and taxi - on the tail of a sinister serial killer. This classic novel by the author of the best-selling Mystery in White is a gripping thriller by a neglected master of the genre. J. Jefferson Farjeon (1883-1955) was the author of more than sixty crime and thriller novels that were highly acclaimed in his lifetime. Farjeon is the author of Number Seventeen, a play that was adapted for the big screen by Alfred Hitchcock. His Christmas crime novel, Mystery in White, was republished as a British Library Crime Classic and became a bestseller. Front cover (c) NRM/Pictorial Collection/Science & Society Picture Library

Dive into the suspenseful realms of "The Golden Beast," a 1926 mystery thriller penned by the prolific British writer E. Phillips Oppenheim. Renowned for his bestselling novels that soared in popularity during the interwar years, Oppenheim weaves a gripping tale that unfolds against the backdrop of a Norfolk country estate owned by the Honerton family. The story kicks off with the accidental death of Lord Honerton's son, leading to a tragic sequence of events. Seeking justice, Lord Honerton forces the execution of the gamekeeper who objected to his romantic pursuits with his daughter. A haunting curse befalls the family, and years later, the youngest son vanishes without a trace, confounding the efforts of Scotland Yard to locate him. "The Golden Beast" takes readers on a rollercoaster of suspense and mystery, exploring the repercussions of a family's dark secrets. Oppenheim's masterful storytelling keeps you on the edge of your seat, unraveling a gripping narrative that delves into the complexities of justice, tragedy, and the enigmatic ties that bind a family.

Oppenheim featured on the cover of Time magazine on September 12, 1927, he was the self-styled "prince of storytellers." He composed some one hundred and fifty novels, mainly of the suspense and international intrigue nature, but including romances, comedies, and parables of everyday life. He was the earliest writer of spy fiction as understood today, and invented the "Rogue Male" school of adventure thrillers that was later exploited by John Buchan and Geoffrey Household.

Enoch Strone is a book-loving rustic loner who lives in a remote hand-built cabin. He works as a mechanical engineer in the industrial town of Gascester. One evening he meets a poor factory girl, Milly, who has been abandoned by her friends during a walk in the woods. On the same day he is accosted by the Reverand Martinghoe who introduces Strone to his beautiful, widowed, wealthy sister Lady Malingcourt. Strone is bewitched by her lovely singing and the seductive manners of the jaded upper class widow.

"[...]voice was so agreeable that it was a pleasure to listen to it. He had very decided musical talent, but not enough to justify him in adopting music as his profession. In spite of the advice of his music teachers, he determined on a more practical calling. His refined and easy manner soon won all hearts; and he was beloved by those who were high in station as well as by the lowly laborers. In the year 1849, Ludwig was laying out a portion of the great road which was being built along[...]".

Etymologicum Magnum Romaniae Dictionarul Limbei Istorice si Poporane De B. Petriceicu-Hasdeu Pre-cuvintare Aveam in cuget de a da in fruntea tomului IV al Etimologicului o introducere de vreo trei-patru cole de tipar dupe mustra tomurilor trecute. O intelegere luata in sinul Academiei Romane, in sedintele din 27 si 29 martie 1897, pune capat lucrarii mele ingaduindu mi urmarea numai pina la anul 1898. Fata cu acesta urmare, adeca curmare din partea doctului corp, de vreme ce nu voiu mai pasi iainte, m'am hotarit de a ma executa pe mine insumi print un nec-plus-ultra dupa mesura mijlocelor mele. Iata de ce "Negru voda" este asa cum este. Este o datoria a mea de inima si de minte de a rosti aci o adanca, o nemarginita, o adeverata recunoscinta Maicslalii Salc Regelui, care singur m'a indemnat la munca si mi-a inlesnit'o astfel ca Intemeiatorului Regatului Romanilor i se inchina studiul meu despre Intemeiatorii Statului Terei-Romanesci. Si ispravind, mandur de cate am facut, facand ceea ce am voit eu a face, las Etimologicului un maret vesnic adio, mangaindu-me cu vorba Stapanului meu: "sint multe lacase." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices. This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics, unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader organically to the art of bindery and book-making. We think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes beyond the mere words of the text.
