![]() I was fortunate to go to the Duke's house in 1972 and again several times after his death, during which time I got to know his private secretary, John Utter. Nevertheless my interest goes back to the 1960s. I am sometimes described as a Duke of Windsor expert myself, though I have only contributed a text to the handsome book of photographs, found in the Duke's bath, The Private World of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. There have been documentaries, including a rather disreputable one last year called The Traitor King and Prince Edward's more balanced approach, Edward on Edward, which corrected some of the untruths and appears to have launched the Duke's great-nephew on a career as an assured television presenter. Both the Duke and the Duchess wrote their memoirs (with the help of ghosts) in the 1950s. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Duke of Windsor has been the subject of a great number of biographies, beginning with those published in his early years and accounts of his extensive travels, and ending, or so we hoped, with Philip Ziegler's authorised life, Edward VIII, in 1990. ![]() ![]() ![]() And then there were the animals: pets gone missing out of yards. That, and there was that boy, Max Larsen.the one from years ago, found dead after also disappearing under mysterious circumstances. He knows what each ticking moment may mean for Jude, his cousin and best friend. And despite Stevie Clark s youth, he knows that, too he s seen the cop shows. They re well aware that the first forty-eight hours are critical and after that, the odds usually point to a worst-case scenario. ![]() Young Jude Brighton has been missing for three days, and while the search for him is in full swing in the small town of Deer Valley, Oregon, the locals are starting to lose hope. An unforgettable horror novel from bestselling sensation Ania Ahlborn hailed as a writer of some of the most promising horror I ve encountered in years ("New York Times" bestselling author Seanan McGuire) in which a small-town boy investigates the mysterious disappearance of his cousin and uncovers a terrifying secret kept hidden for years. ![]() |
