  4. Pocket MYS/SUS: The Franchise Affair

    Robert Blair was about to knock off from a slow day at his law firm when the phone rang. It was Marion Sharpe on the line, a local woman of quiet disposition who lived with her mother at their decrepit country house, The Franchise. It appeared that she was in some serious trouble: Miss Sharpe and her mother were accused of brutally kidnapping a demure young woman named Betty Kane. Miss Kane's claims seemed highly unlikely, even to Inspector Alan Grant of Scotland Yard, until she described her prison -- the attic room with its cracked window, the kitchen, and the old trunks -- which sounded remarkably like The Franchise. Yet Marion Sharpe claimed the Kane girl had never been there, let alone been held captive for an entire month! Not believing Betty Kane's story, Solicitor Blair takes up the case and, in a dazzling feat of amateur detective work, solves the unbelievable mystery that stumped even Inspector Grant.

  6. The Daughter of Time

    It was the portrait of a man...A judge? A soldier? A prince? When Grant turned over the picture, to his surprise the caption read ‘Richard the Third’. He spent a long time looking at the face, unconvinced that it could belong to a murderer, the monster of nursery stories, a synonym for villainy. Had the hated hunchback really murdered the Princes in the Tower? Or did they outlive him? With the help of a young American, Grant sets out on a unique murder investigation. The mystery which unfolds is one of the most original pieces of historical fiction ever written.
