Book Description
When an inquisitive angel named Elya comes to Earth, she assumes the form of an extraordinarily beautiful young woman, and promptly proceeds to poke holes in the foundation of human society. Why, she wants to know, are we so irrational, so willing to lie to each other, and have so many ineffective laws on the books? When she assumes the form of a well-known judge, she overturns every legal precedent with her energy, her questions, and her humorous unraveling of the legal profession. Great fun by a master of fantasy satire. First publication in book form.

Book Description
In 1518, a Spanish conquistador named Hernando Cortez set out with a handful of men to conquer the hitherto-unknown Aztec Empire. Facing armies that numbered, at times, 10 or 20 or 100 times his strength, he pushed his way into the interior, determined to establish Christianity among the Indians, and to erect a Spanish colony there. That he succeeded, even with the advantage of better armor, weapons, and cannon, is simply extraordinary. S. Fowler Wright has written one of his best novels, here published in printed form for the very first time.

Book Description
Francis Hammerton is arrested and convicted of involvement with a gang of confidence men--a charge of which he is entirely innocent--but escapes police custody when a cell door is left unlocked. He finds refuge at a nearby boarding house, but is arrested again when he discovers (and reports) the murdered body of an upstairs tenant--and then is unjustly accused of murder. The dead man had been suspected of a major bank fraud, and was being investigated by a private detective firm. Francis secures the services of Mr. Jellipot, whom his father had known, and although Jellipot isn't a criminal attorney, he agrees to handle the case. And then, piece by patient piece, the little solicitor begins fitting together the shadowy pieces of this complex series of crimes. But can he find the true culprit in time, and also get Francis exonerated of the offense for which he's already been convicted? An absolutely gripping crime novel from the 1930s!

Book Description
Within ten days of stepping out of the woods near the town of Moose Creek, Duval is the most popular man in the district. After all, what’s not to like? He is a good listener, generous with his money, a great cook and host, and a hard worker on old Dad Wilbur’s place, which he bought for $1,500. He wins the admiration of Sheriff Nat Adare when he quells and befriends the often-wild Charlie Nash and pays for the damages Charlie has caused in the town saloon. The only person in the town that he doesn’t win over is the sheriff’s niece, Marian Lane, who runs the local grocery and has caused more than her share of heartbreak among the young men of the town. What bothers Marian is that no one can learn anything about Duval or his past, other than that he was a cowpuncher who had worked for a taskmaster on the T Bar Ranch. Marian’s curiosity is intensified when Duval runs the thug Larry Jude out of town after he calls Duval a “boy-killer.” But Duval’s past lands in Moose Creek when Discretion, the horse that he loves, is accompanied from the East by the animal’s self-proclaimed groom, Henry. Once Duval learns that Henry, who he had known in New York, plans to stay on in Moose Creek, he warns him not to “play no tricks.” Things begin to heat up when Duval attends a dance where he encounters not only Marian but the famous manhunter, Marshal Richard Kinkaid. When a robbery occurs at the same time as the dance, Kinkaid, who has already been baited by Marian to find out who Duval is, promises she will have the answer to her question. So begins a dangerous game of matching wits between Duval and Kinkaid.
