After her parents' sudden death, loneliness makes Rosemary O'Connor seek out a neighboring farm where horses are being exercised. Here she feels closer to her father, who taught her all she knew about riding and horses. Soon the owner of the farm warmly welcomes Rosemary and introduces her to other young people in a local hunt club. This leads to a summer job at the hunt stables where Rosemary finds her horse, the kind of Irish hunter she has always longed for. Of course, Dublin Jack does belong to Mr. Medford, the wealthy, stable owner, and he is almost dead when Rosemary finds him. Can she -- should she -- help him to live in spite of the stable manager's ugly threats?Although Rosemary's main concern is for Dublin Jack, she works hard at her job, which includes teaching children to ride, cleaning tack, feeding and exercising other horses, and learning to control the hounds. One night, when she is more tired than usual, disaster strikes. Rosemary wakes up in the hospital, and here she learns of new plans for the stable, for herself, and for Dublin Jack.The color and excitement of horse shows, hunting, and riding with hounds in California (where no killing of a fox is involved) pervade this story of a plucky girl who believes in not letting go of her horse once she's found him.

Barry Morris Goldwater (1909-1998) was an American politician, businessman, and author who was a five-term United States Senator from Arizona (1953-65, 1969-87) and the Republican Party's nominee for President of the United States in 1964. Despite his loss of the 1964 presidential election in a landslide, Goldwater is the politician most often credited with sparking the resurgence of the American conservative political movement in the 1960s.

Trouble struck the schooner Griselda at 9:40 on an April evening. It was not the fault of the weather or the sea or the soundness of her hull. The trouble was human. A woman. Her name was Julia Parks, though in the beginning she insisted it was Lambert. It was hard to blame Howard Crane for bringing her aboard, because Julia always got what she wanted.What she wanted in this case was money. Keith Lambert's -- her ex-husband's -- money. That there were others too who wanted it was one of the first things that came to the minds of the Barbados police the next morning when Julia was found suffocated in her cabin. But the only trail they had to follow was one of tangled lives and tangled motives that led to jealousy, blackmail, native secrecy, and sudden death -- all against the peaceful tropical background of picturesque Barbados.Here is another of the highly polished, tightly knit, and suspenseful mysteries that have made George Harmon Coxe for almost twenty years one of the deans of mystery writers.

It galled luscious, golden-haired Alma Chrysler to be tied to a husband as stodgy and unexciting as Norman. She didn't think a man should spend his evenings tinkering with a car.Variety was the spice of love, Almla believed, and proved her theory with Scotty, Jim, Bob, and others she could hardly remember.Now it was Ward Green and he was the best of the lot -- a slave to her passion for her -- but could she maneuver him into going along with her plan for the permanent removal of her husband?Only time and her exquisitely formed body would decide whether she could manipulated Ward's hunger for her, giving and then withholding, sating and then starving, until he was ready to obey her slightest command...Originally published as "When the Lusting Began" (1960).

Now, five years later, the invitation had appeared out of the blue, and Kate found herself a guest in a strange, isolated household of very bohemian ways, with a menacing undercurrent that made Kate very uneasy. Suddenly, things began to happen with astonishing rapidity. Clotilde, June's beautiful stepsister was kidnapped in very gruesome circumstances, and Kate had to play a nerve-racking part in delivering the ransom money.But two murders occurred before peace was finally restored in the Gladstone household, and the warped, twisted mind of a murderer was revealed.

Slowly I turned to face the hall and the doorway. I waited in an agony of suspense. The great house was as silent as an empty grave, with the pulse of time beating eternally against it: tick, tock; tick, tock; tick, tock...Gradually I relaxed and let my hand drop, until -- I shrieked and turned -- and raised my hand dripping with blood. I stared at it like a maniac, and then at the thing it had touched...

Barry was a small gray furry ball, only two weeks old, when he was tossed into the swirling river. It would have been the end of the pup if young Jim Williams and his big black and tan dog, Old Jeff, had not rescued him. From then on Barry was a one-man dog, and that man was Jim.By the time the dog was full-grown, he weighed a good 150 pounds. With his sharp pointed ears and gray coat Barry was constantly mistaken for a timber wolf -- so much so, in fact, that even the longhorns on the range attacked him.Then came a fierce struggle between the cowhands and a notorious wolf pack, led by Lobo the Black Wolf. Year after year the pack had terrorized and attacked the grazing cattle. It was while tracking them down that Jim shot Barry by mistake. Gun-shy and hurt, the dog took to the timber alone.But the range riders were to win their battle in an exciting climax as Barry rushed in to save Jim from the maddened Lobo. The fight was a grizzly one -- a fight to the finish -- as the two animals fought for their lives on the open range in the black of night.

Everyone in Cranberry Cove, Maine, took it for granted that school "away" followed the sixth grade. There was no further schooling available in the little seacoast village.But when twelve-year-old Minta, at the end of the spring term, came face to face with the dismal prospect of going away to school that very fall -- in Hardwick, all of ten miles away! -- she was rebelliou. She NEVER wanted to leave the place and the people she loved so dearly; and she was especially troubled by a little nibbling fear that her place at home might be taken by the new baby her mother and father were expecting in September.Mr. and Mrs. Stanley understood their daughter, and couldn't have been more affectionate and reassuring; and old Auntie Joe, who lived with them, showed just the right mixture of common sense and sympathy. So by the time the "summer people" began to arrive, Minta was ready -- almost -- to forget her troubles. It was such fun to have her friends from Boston, Lucy and Jane, back again! No day was long enough, however, for all the things they found to do together: helping Bud Fernald to haul lobster traps, camping out on an offshore island, dressing up for the Firemen's Ball, and -- best of all -- playing wonderful games of make-believe in a secret cave.It was partly through the "rescue" of the cave's mysterious inhabitant that Minta learned a great deal about people, and about what growing up really means. And by the end of a wonderfully eventful summer she had come to understand, too, that even with its occasional troubles, life is "full of wonderful good things."

Her name was Ellen Killain, and she was Johnny's ex-wife. His still-beloved ex-wife.

The murder hadn't happened yet, but when it did, it would come as no surprise to the man from the D.A.'s office.Right now, in fact, he was sitting in the victim's apartment, awaiting her return. He had already taken care to plant the leads, to weave together the whole web of evidence that would direct the police unerringly to the wrong man.If you want a frame-up done right, he was thinking, build the frame yourself. ...Then he heard a key in the door. He rose, and reached for the pistol under his coat.

For many years a small book, FOGS AND CLOUDS by the same author, has occupied a unique position because it combined a simple-though thoroughly scientific-explanation of the various phenomena with a very complete collection of cloud photographs, finely reproduced. FOGS, CLOUDS, AND AVIATION again includes all this information (brought up to date) which is fascinating to the amateur as it is vital to the thousands who are teaching and studying meteorology for the benefit of aviation, commercial as well as military. In addition, the aviator find the significance of each type of fog and cloud noted-how thin, extensive, high and opaque they are, whether they provide fair or excellent one-way screens in combat, what the danger of icing is, etc. It is a distinct "Fog and Cloud" book, well rounded and detailed, not an unproportioned chapter from a general work on meteorology. It is indispensable to anyone interested in or dependent on sound interpretation of local weather signs and local weather forecasts.

But in the swamp no secret was ever safe. And neither was anyone who had Dorry for a mistress.An inspired hybrid of crime fiction and Southern gothic, Swamp Sister is Tobacco Road written in acid and hellfire, populated by the most outrageously venal and benighted characters ever to crawl out of the collective unconscious.

The editor of a strait-laced national magazine for "young adults" is bound to be a clean-living, high-minded individual -- especially one who has just been appointed to a presidential committee investigating juvenile delinquency. But then, you haven't met Freddie Lazenby.When an old army buddy turned sociologist asks if he may store some boxes in Freddie's attic, our hero innocently complies. In no time at all, Freddie discovers that his friend's unspecified scientific project is disastrously Kinsey-like: the material contained in the boxes represents the hottest collection of pornography north of Mexico. Even more appalling, his sociologist friend has made arrangements to add to his collection, using Freddie as a middleman. Chaos prevails: the Committee sets its sights on obscene literature as the major cause of juvenile crime, and Freddie -- haplessly wheeling and dealing in the pornography trade -- finds himself in the absurd position of a man chasing himself.One fast, hilarious episode follows another as Freddie attempts to keep his shady associates at bay while concealing the terrible truth from his wife, his employers, and his fellow committee members. The result is mayhem and many a riotous moment.
