He who whispers : a Dr. Fell mystery story

Rare Books

When Miles Hammond is invited to a meeting of the Murder Club in London, he is met instead with just two other guests and is treated to a strange tale of an impossible crime in France from years before-the murder of a man on a tower with only one staircase, under watch at the time the murder took place. With theories of levitating vampires abounding, the story comes home to Miles when he realizes that the librarian he has just hired for his home is none other than Fay Seton, a woman whose name still echoes from the heart of this bizarre and unsolved murder of the past.

Jack London letter to Marshall Bond

Manuscripts

Jack London wrote this letter to Marshall Bond in September 1901 from his new home on "56 Vayo Vista Avenue" in Oakland, California. This letter was apparently in response to an invitation to make a trip to the Bond family ranch in Santa Clara, California. London expresses his regret for having to postpone the trip stating "the delay caused by moving has thrown me so far back in my work that I cannot hope to catch up save by close application for time being...." London also talks about his 8-month-old daughter Joan, saying that she now has several teeth and "says 'Da-da.'"
