Governess-turned-sleuth Miss Silver, who "has her place in detective fiction as surely as Lord Peter Wimsey or Hercule Poirot," visits a small village hiding big secrets (Manchester Evening News). The citizens of Melling are perfectly ordinary. Some might even consider them boring, but not Miss Maud Silver. It's been some years since she gave up work as a governess to become a detective, and her fascination with people has served her well during that time. Now, she's come to Melling to pay a long-postponed visit to an old school chum-but Miss Silver's vacations never last long. The town's prodigal son has returned, wealthy and not exactly nostalgic for his hometown. He intends to sell his manor house and be done with Melling forever. But this cozy English hamlet hasn't finished with him yet . . .

In this classic British mystery starring a sleuth who "has her place in detective fiction as surely as Lord Peter Wimsey or Hercule Poirot," Miss Silver investigates a case of marital murder (Manchester Evening News). Lois has always dreamed of being a Latter. The Latter brothers are both so attractive-nearly as handsome as their stately manor, Latter End. After she spoils her relationship with one brother, Lois succeeds with the other, winning his heart with her good looks and a sizeable fortune from her first marriage. But even after they've wed, she never quite fits in with the family. Still, she hardly expects them to kill her. When the psychic Memnon warns her of murder by poison, Lois laughs it off and so does everyone else, but then, like clockwork, she's dead. The weapon? Poison, of course. Only the brilliant governess-turned-detective Miss Maud Silver can solve this tantalizing case complicated by the bitterness that infests Latter End.

A man out for himself is pulled into a fight for something more in this thriller by the New York Times-bestselling author of the Sean Dillon novels. Hugh Marlowe is a man with a plan. After spending five long years in prison thanks to partners who left him in the lurch with some stolen loot, he's getting out-and he's going to get his money. But his former friends want it too. And that means Marlowe must go on the run. The small village of Litton seems like the perfect spot to lay low. And working for a local farm collective is the perfect job to hide his true identity. But trouble finds Marlowe anyway when his employer comes under pressure from a local big shot who doesn't appreciate competition of any kind-and is willing to burn out whoever stands against him. Desperate to keep his head down, but unable to stay out of a fight to help those who have become his new family, Marlowe is going to have to take on all comers-both old and new-if he ever hopes to be truly free. Before The Eagle Has Landed took flight, Jack Higgins was spinning tales of violence and betrayal, loyalty and love, and battles big and small in his ascent to becoming the preeminent architect of the modern thriller. The Thousand Faces of Night is one of his early tales of suspense, and a sign of the outstanding talent that continues today with Rain on the Dead, The Midnight Bell, and countless other bestsellers.
