Trade Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Assumed First Edition. 224 Pages. Ashmole Foxe is approached by the mayor of Norwich and the manager of its oldest theatres, both wanting him to investigate sudden, baffling deaths. Foxe loathes the theatre manager, so he'll have nothing to do with this tale of ghostly apparitions and the murder of an alcoholic, has-been actor. Instead, he turns to the mayor's request-to resolve killing of a rich merchant. The trouble is Foxe can't quite put the theatre mystery out of his mind. Both cases contain inexplicable events. How did someone stab the merchant as he was hosting a grand masquerade ball surrounded by his guests - without anyone seeing what happened? What has an actress dead for twenty years to do with the murder of someone who shouldn't even have been in the current cast.…

Trade Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Assumed First Edition. 240 Pages. In this second book in the series, Mr Ashmole Foxe, Georgian dandy, bookseller and confidential investigator, finds himself alone and way out of his depth. The mayor is demanding he find the murderer of a prominent merchant and banker before the city is crippled by financial panic; Alderman Halloran is hounding him over the theft of some of his favourite books; and his much-loved companions, the Catt sisters, have left Norwich, unlikely to return. Poor Foxe has no clues, few ideas and very little hope. The dead man, Joseph Morrow, was both a prominent and unbending puritan and a constant preacher against the evils of alcohol. So why did his body reek of cheap brandy? What caused his corpse to be found in the hold of a wherry, moored in a little-used and down-at-heel area by Fye Bridge? And what could such a pompous, self-righteous and rigidly Christian man have done that would provoke someone to murder him? The Morrow family, headed by Joseph s father Ezekiel, had long been one of the leading yarn-merchants in the city. Recently, Ezekiel handed over the running of the business to his elder son, Joseph, while he retired to live in a grand house as a country gentleman. Joseph, disliking the rough-and-tumble of the yarn trade, promptly turned his attention to becoming one of the new breed of bankers in the city. A very successful one too, by all accounts. That's why his murder is sending shockwaves through the entire business community, and why the mayor is so afraid of a run on all the banks. Can Ashmole Foxe expose his killer before panic ensues and hundreds of people lose their livelihoods? Can he find the book-thief and return the alderman s books? Can he restore his reputation for high fashion and low morals without the Catt sisters? As he negotiates the treacherous pathways of Norwich s prosperous, middle-class merchants, can Foxe discover whatever dark secrets lie behind the serene façades of all those fine houses in Colegate Street and the surrounding area? Unless he can produce a miracle, and soon, Mr Foxe's own future in the city looks bleak .…

Trade Paperback. Etat : Near Fine. 203 Pages. Ashmole Foxe has encountered some odd people in his time, but few as strange and forbidding as this miserly, reclusive undertaker, whose murder he has been asked to investigate. All the man cared about was the arcane art of change-ringing on church bells, so it was somehow fitting his body should be found in the tower of St. Peter Mancroft church in the centre of Norwich. Yet how he died and why his body ended up there there are anything but clear. Nor do the oddities cease there. The dead man's father was once a famous artist and wood-carver until his son imprisoned him in his own house. What do the carvings he left on so many of the wooden panels there mean? Why does the housekeeper keep coming up with different tales to account for her own part in the family history? Why are nearly all the rooms in the house kept locked? And why was the house burgled on the night its master was murdered, when nothing was taken? It's going to take all Foxe's cunning and persistence to sift through a mass of suspects, all displaying plain signs of guilt; discover why nothing in the undertaker s house or his past is what it seems; and reach beyond the lies and inventions to unravel an amazing tale of selfless love and obsessive greed colliding in a parody of death itself.…
