Book Description
Radium is not a substance that can be quietly stolen, and no questions asked-especially in this age of atomic warfare. Inspector Faithfull and his mercurial sergeant, Somers, expected action when they were given the task of catching the thieves, but nothing so bewildering as the glamorous Miss Georgie Nash. Georgie had a flair for cropping up in the most unexpected places, and Inspector Faithfull, whose working hours were already burdened by a very dead body and a villainous character known as "Lucifer" said some hard things under his breath. Before the case was many days old, quite a few blood pressures at the "Yard" did a somersault, for "Wister Hale," the mysterious ace reporter of the Daily World began forecasting, with uncanny accuracy, the movements of police and crook alike. This fresh headache found the inspector puzzled but unperturbed; he was convinced that his turn was coming, with a vengeance. And come it did, with a suddenness which surprised everyone - except "Wister Hale" ! Ernest Dudley's latest offering is an absorbing thriller in his best tradition, a "must" for all armchair detectives.

I, Lucifer
Author: Glen Duncan
Publisher: Open Road + Grove/Atlantic
ISBN: 0802199224
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
“A fiendishly sharp, intelligent examination of modern human life that is as funny as hell.” —The Times (London) The end is nigh and the Prince of Darkness has just been offered one hell of a deal: reentry into Heaven for eternity—if he can live out a well-behaved life in a human body on earth. It’s the ultimate case of trying without buying and, despite the limitations of the human body in question (previous owner one suicidally unsuccessful writer, Declan Gunn), Luce seizes the opportunity to run riot through the realm of the senses. This is his chance to straighten the biblical record (Adam, it’s hinted, was a misguided variation on the Eve design), to celebrate his favorite achievements (everything from the Inquisition to Elton John), and, most important, to get Julia Roberts attached to his screenplay. But the experience of walking among us isn’t what His Majesty expected: instead of teaching us what it’s like to be him, Lucifer finds himself understanding what it’s like to be us. By an author hailed by the Times Literary Supplement as one of Britain’s top twenty young novelists, I, Lucifer is “a masterpiece . . . startlingly witty, original and beautifully written” (Good Book Guide). “Duncan’s witty and perverse, yet somehow life-affirming, Lucifer is powerful indeed.” —Booklist

Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
Eons ago, the Devil fell from grace. Now, he might be falling for her. Grace Celestin is no stranger to sin. Working in a dive bar on Bourbon Street will expose a girl to a lot of nastiness. But when a disturbing prophecy leaves her with more questions than answers, the only man who can provide them is more than just a little sinful. He's Lucifer, the Devil himself. Luckily, the Devil's in New Orleans-Hell's on hiatus and the tide of damned souls has dried up, leaving him between jobs. From the moment he bumps into Grace Celestin, however, he thinks he may have found a new one. She's being hunted, and not even voodoo can keep rogue angels off her trail. More intriguing still is the fact that Grace isn't just beautiful-it's that unlike every other human who's ever lived, Lucifer can't read her soul. And if he wants answers, and his throne back, he's going to have to help her get some answers of her own. For the first time since he fell, the Devil has been drawn to the light. And Grace, despite all she knows, finds herself tempted by the darkness.

After resigning his commission, he decides to become a priest. He is convinced when he goes to work at the Vatican Library that he will never have to use violence again. He is wrong.
