There was motive enough for the murder of Fred Dunstable, but when Inspector ‘Jimmy’ Waghorn is sent down to the little village of Cradwell to investigate his death, he finds it difficult to be satisfied with any of the solutions offered by the local police. Whose was the half-smoked cigarette found near the body? Why did Kenneth Neasden want £100 so desperately? It is not until further violence has been done that the answers to these and many other questions are found. An ingeniously contrived plot and a gripping climax.

If the Bible is written by fallible human beings, how can its words convey divine revelation? Perhaps the greatest challenge of Warfield's lifetime was the modernist skepticism of biblical inspiration and authority. Warfield responded to modernist biblical critics by showing that intellect of the biblical authors not only remained fully operational and engaged, but that God also worked through human words and texts to convey divine revelation.

''In that book my theme was the eternal conflict between One Man Government and the Rich. Napoleon said: the only institution ever devised by men for mastering the Money Power in the State is Monarchy. It is obviously true and is the most practically important of all political truths. The Government of the United States with its large development of presidential powers in modern times and the present struggle between those powers and plutocracy is a very good example in point. A still more forcible example is to be seen actively at work before our new governments calling themselves totalitarian are essentially extreme. Monarchies at issue with the plutocracies rule in the older world around to a large extent in France and obviously in Great Britain. As I dealt in my former book with the leading case of Louis XIV of France as a monarch standing up to the Money Power (and, upon the whole, successfully), so in this book I deal with the parallel and complementary case of his contemporary and first cousin, Charles II, Stuart King of England. He also found himself faced by that unescapable conflict between the Money Power and Monarchy; but, unlike his Charles II cousin Louis, Charles failed. The Money Power was too much for him. So long as he lived he managed to fend it off though not to tame it; but immediately after his death, in the less competent hands of his brother James ( the last real and active King of England, as also the last by hereditary right), Monarchy went down. The Monarch was driven out and the powers of government in England were taken over by a governing class of wealthy men, which class has remained in the saddle ever since.''--from opening pages of CHARLES II: THE LAST RALLY By Hilaire Belloc In The Last Rally, Belloc narrates with clarity and vigor a central episode in the decline of the English Monarchy. Restored to the throne following the interlude of Cromwell's "Commonwealth," Charles II devoted his life as King of England to maintaining the integrity of the throne against all the forces arrayed against it: the power of the great landowners who worked through the Parliament; the influence of the Lawyers' Guild; and the irresistible mercantile and financial strength of the city of London. The story that Belloc brings to life is thus one of survival: the story of a state brought like a ship "through peril and storm under a great captain." It is also the story of manhood and determination in the face of overwhelming odds; as such it is a story that Hilaire Belloc was eminently qualified to write.

“Belloc wrote this book in 1937. He saw the rise of communism and shuddered at its ramifications. As I read this I wondered 1) how he would write this book after WWII and 2) how he would assess the current economy. It was a fascinating read in context of the Occupy Wall Street protests. “Much of what he predicted has, in fact, come true. Big business has preempted the small guy. Belloc’s example of grocers resonated with me. The chain store kills the small shopkeeper. Where our small town used to have a dozen neighborhood groceries, it now has three chain stores. Belloc wrote about Wal-Mart before Wal-Mart existed. For me this brings up the perennial Wal-Mart question. Evil empire or not? I haven’t fully examined or engaged with this. "Belloc’s ultimate goal of a unified, sanctified church is my goal too.”--A Living Pencil

Belloc shows that the Crusades were a titanic struggle between Christian civilization and \"the Turk,\" savage Mongols who had embraced Islam. He explains the practical reasons why the Crusaders initially succeeded and why they ultimately failed; then he predicts the re-emergence of Islam, since Christendom failed to destroy it in the 12th century.

Lancelot, despite being the bravest of the knights, is ugly, and ape-like, so that he calls himself the Chevalier mal fet - “The Ill-Made Knight”. As a child, Lancelot loved King Arthur and spent his entire childhood training to be a knight of the round table. When he arrives and becomes one of Arthur’s knights, he also becomes the king’s close friend. This causes some tension, as he is jealous of Arthur’s new wife Guinevere. In order to please her husband, Guinevere tries to befriend Lancelot and the two eventually fall in love. T.H. White’s version of the tale elaborates greatly on the passionate love of Lancelot and Guinevere. Suspense is provided by the tension between Lancelot’s friendship for King Arthur and his love for and affair with the queen.

It's Tommy Hambledon, of course, and this time on the track of a counterfeiting ring which keeps him racing from London to Brussels to France, with way stops for every kind of action in the book. It all started when Tommy observed some curious byplay in a café called the Taverne Gruber in Brussels. The restaurant provided cardboard circular mats, and one of these was carefully inspected by a solitary patron, then pocketed. Whereupon the patron left hurriedly and was promptly followed by another man who had been looking through the window. Tommy, intrigued by this, made a third in this procession and, unknown to him, was himself followed by a fourth person. The first man was murdered. The fourth turned out to be an agent of the Paris Sûreté. Tommy and the agent joined forces and became involved in a series of adventures which included a hair-pulling contest between two volatile Frenchwomen and the hijacking of a police car. They eventually nailed the expert engravers who were churning out bills by the thousands in a nefarious scheme to debase the currency of the Allied countries. Tommy has never been in better form than in this fast-moving, adventure-packed thriller.
