A lovingly crafted biography of New Zealand Crimewriting Queen, Ngaio Marsh who, like Dorothy Sayers and Agatha Christie, wrote detective fiction during mystery's goldn age. Ngaio Marsh wrote more than thirty polished English detective novels between 1934 and her death in 1982. How did she do it? To say would give away the story of her life, but those who have already met her elegant sleuth Roderick Alleyn know he, too, kept his footing in diverse plots, managing the local idiom whether crime cracking in Britain, on the continent, or in New Zealand. Marsh's talent was as varied as her heritage. A gifted artist, a spirited dramatist, actress, and producer, her crime fiction embraces her triple interests. Many are set in the worlds of art and theater.Dr. Lewis was born in Northern Ireland but grew up in Canada and now lives near Hadrian's Wall in northern England. A member of the Crime Writers' Association, Margaret Lewis has published short stores in various anthologies of crime fiction and several of these have been broadcast on radio.

Author, Margaret Lewis (Herring), brings us, "Out of The Will," an entertaining look at true-life experiences growing up in the city of Detroit. Full of memorable people, tragedy and triumph through the eye of the author, "Out of The Will," sheds light on the need for spirituality in everyday life.  Starting back when her grandparents Sol and Annie Mae Lewis first migrated to Detroit, Michigan, Lewis returns us to a time when people depended on streetcars (mass-transit) to get around. Later, as Detroit became the "Motor City," all its residents needed, and had their own cars, including Sol and Annie Mae.  Herring exposes us to her experiences with some of Detroit's famous and infamous personalities. She tells us that she used to live around the corner from Motown musical sensation, Stevie Wonder (at that time known as Stevland Morris). She also grew up with, and still attends church with, the world-famous, Detroit-based, Winans family.   Lewis also tells of an infamous local skating rink known as the Cage where young women engaged in street fighting, young men in mayhem and murder -who all, by their actions, were not living according to the Bible.

This perceptive survey of the two faces of prolific and award-winning author Edith Pargeter explores both her life and her work. Pargeter is best known as Ellis Peters, the author of the Chronicles of Brother Cadfael. These 20 novels have been televised and adapted for radio and have played a major role in turning crime writing into a literary genre and making historical detectives popular. Also discussed are Pargeter's series of 14 Inspector Felse novels, written under her real name, and her further novels, including two outstanding historical sequences. The Brothers of Gwynedd quartet and The Heaven Tree trilogy. The Eighth Champion of Christendom, a trilogy of novels about the Second World War, is also illuminated.

Ngaio Marsh, a died-in-the-wool New Zealander, wrote more than thirty polished, quintessentially English detective novels between 1934 and 1982, the year of her death. How did she, in some senses an outsider, do it? To say would give away the story of her life, better read in these pages than told. But those who have already met her elegant sleuth Roderick Alleyn know he, too, kept his footing in diverse plots, managing the local idiom whether crime cracking in Britain, on the continent, or in New Zealand. Marsh's talent was as varied as her heritage. A gifted artist, a spirited dramatist, actress, and producer, her crime fiction embraces her triple interests. Scotland Yard's Alleyn is named for famous Elizabethan actor Edward Alleyn.His wife, Agatha Troy, is a talented artist. Nearly all Marsh's novels reference one of Shakespeare's plays. Many are set in the worlds of art and theater. Most are conceived with the dramatist's eye, a keen one, as her high honors for mystery and her work in the theater attest.Biographer Margaret Lewis explores these diverse worlds and the rich harvest of Marsh's long life. Lively, acute, sympathetic, she paints a well balanced portrait of a woman leading a single life who was never alone nor lonely, an Edwardian who followed her muses in a thoroughly modern manner, and a writer who, while invincibly Colonial, celebrated England's Golden Age of mystery as royally as its other Queens of Crime.Our publication is timely given St. Martin's Press' commitment to republish all of the Ngaio Marsh mystery books in Dead Letter paperbacks.

These include two outstanding historical sequences, The Brothers of Gwynedd quartet and The Heaven Tree trilogy, and The Eighth Champion of Christendom, a trilogy of novels about the Second World War written during and just after that conflict.
