The murder mysteries that make up this unusual anthology all have one thing in common: the hero or heroine who solves the crime is a Catholic cleric. Perhaps that should not be surprising, for since the time of G. K. Chesterton those who have explored stories with a religious belief or background have tended to place them in the Middle Ages. And during that time most Christians were in one way or another connected to the Catholic church. From Chesterton's classic priest-turned-detective Father Brown to Peter Tremayne's historical Celtic nun and lawyer, Sister Fidelma, religious men and women put aside their professional duties for a moment to take up an altogether different vocation for a short time--that of detective and solver of crimes unspeakable. The stories in this collection of Catholic clerical sleuthing includes:"Whispers of the Dead" by Peter Tremayne * "Bless Me Father, For I Have Sinned" by Ed Gorman * "Death by Fire" by Anne Perry and Malachi Saxon * "The Arrow of Ice" by Edward D. Hoch * "The Rag and Bone Man" by Lillian Stewart Carl * "Divine Justice" by Charles Meyer * "Cemetery of the Innocents" by Stephen Dentinger * "Veronica's Veil" by Monica Quill * "Lowly Death" by Margaret Frazer * "Ex Libris" by Kate Gallison * "A Clerical Error" by Michael Jecks * "Through a Glass, Darkly" by Kate Charles * "The Knight's Confession" by P. C. Doherty * "The Shorn Lamb" by Ralph McInerny
Murder Most Foul
What is it about Hamlet that has made it such a compelling and vital work? Murder Most Foul: Hamlet Through the Ages is an account of Shakespeare's great play from its sources in Scandinavian epic lore to the way it was performed and understood in his own day, and then how the play has fared down to the present: performances on stage, television, and in film, critical evaluations, publishing history, spinoffs, spoofs, musical adaptations, the play's growing reputation, its influence on writers and thinkers, and the ways in which it has shaped the very language we speak. The staging, criticism, and editing of Hamlet , David Bevington argues, go hand in hand over the centuries, to such a remarkable extent that the history of Hamlet can be seen as a kind of paradigm for the cultural history of the English-speaking world.
