As it came closer Dick felt that shuddering faintness, which often affected him in the presence of cats, come over him, and he stamped and clapped his hands. At this it turned tail quickly: a sort of dark shadow streaked the garden-wall for a moment, and it vanished.A mother cat takes revenge for the death of its kitten, a ferocious feline creeps into a princess's bedchamber at night to drain her blood, a young woman grows whiskers beneath the light of a full moon and frolics on the lawn...Aloof and haughty, slinking and sometimes sinister, cats are a mainstay of weird fiction for good reason: for all that we love them, they're unknowable, unpredictable and a little uncanny. And so, cats loom large in this collection that ranges from the sinister stories of Victorian greats such as Edgar Allan Poe, Bram Stoker and Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu through to twentieth-century tales from renowned authors Dorothy L Sayers, E F Benson and Gans T Field.

This new edition, which is reproduced from a first printing of the book, is introduced by the author Martin Edwards, archivist of the Detection Club, and includes a never-before-published Preface by Agatha Christie, `Detective Writers in England’, in which she discusses her fellow writers in the Detection Club.Lord Comstock is a barbarous newspaper tycoon with enemies in high places. His murder in the study of his country houseposes a dilemma for the Home Secretary. In the hours before his death, Lord Comstock’s visitors included the government Chief Whip, an Archbishop, and the Assistant Commissioner for Scotland Yard. Suspicion falls upon them all and threatens the impartiality of any police investigation. Abandoning protocol, the Home Secretary invites four famous detectives to solve the case: Mrs Adela Bradley, Sir John Saumarez, Lord Peter Wimsey, and Mr Roger Sheringham. All are different, all are plausible, all are on their own – and none of them can ask a policeman…This classic whodunit adopted a completely new approach: Milward Kennedy proposed the title, John Rhode plotted the murder and provided the suspects, and four of their contemporaries were asked to lend their well-known detectives to the task of providing solutions to the crime. But there was to be another twist: the authors would swap detectives and use the characters in their sections of the book. Thus Gladys Mitchell and Helen Simpson swapped Mrs Bradley and Sir John Saumarez, and Dorothy Sayers and Anthony Berkeley swapped Lord Peter Wimsey and Roger Sheringham, enabling the authors to indulge in skilful and sly parodies of each other.The contributors to ASK A POLICEMAN are: John Rhode, Helen Simpson, Gladys Mitchell, Anthony Berkeley, Dorothy L. Sayers, Milward Kennedy with Agatha Christie and Martin Edwards.

Discover Dorothy L. Sayers' inimitable Golden Age detective in this newly published collection of the complete Lord Peter Wimsey stories.

Att deckardrottningen och lekmannateologen Dorothy L. Sayers fascinerades av 300-talets historia har gått många förbi. Men i hennes krönikespel om kejsar Konstantin och konciliet i Nicaea får vi möta både kejsaren och några av dåtidens främsta teologer. Tidigare hade kyrkan varit en utrotningshotad minoritet. Tack vare Konstantin kom allt att förändras kyrkan blev nu en gynnad storhet. Krönikespelets Konstantin är inledningsvis en karriärlysten överklassyngling. Han utnämns till caesar och augustus hederstitlar av kejserlig karaktär och vi får följa honom genom fältslag som utmynnar i att han blir ensam härskare över Romarriket. År 325 inbjuder han rikets biskopar till konciliet i Nicaea där han agerar mötesordförande. Hans familjeliv är turbulent och han låter bland annat avrätta både sonen Crispus och hustrun Fausta. På dödsbädden tar han till slut emot dopet. Krönikespelet kompletteras i den här utgåvan med texter av experter på 300-talets andliga liv: Sten Hidal ger en överblick över Konstantin och tiden och Gösta Hallonsten hjälper oss att bättre förstå den arianska striden . I ett inledande kapitel skriver kardinal Anders Arborelius om det mycket spännande konciliet där man eftersträvade Sanningen med stort S, alltså i sista hand ett närmande till Gud själv. Sentida läsare kan både glädja sig åt en underhållande text och få en inblick i den tro som bekändes i Nicaea en tro som alltjämt har följdverkningar 1700 år senare.
