Despite his noble family, a life of idle indulgence has never suited Gil Charleton. Fortunately, working as the Earl of Crawford’s estate manager requires the same caution, care, and charm he already uses to hide his true desires. On a discreet visit to a pub catering to men like himself, he’s dismayed to see the earl’s imprudent valet. At least the reckless, flirtatious Jarrett doesn’t see him in return. Jarrett Welch takes any chance to have a little fun—or a lot of fun. But when a man he flirted with winds up dead, he can’t give his alibi. After all, that kind of fun between men carries the same sentence as murder. Gil knows Jarrett is innocent, but it’s his own life on the line if he comes forward. The only other way to save him is to find the real killer before their shared secret can be revealed. Working together to clear Jarrett’s name, the attraction between them becomes impossible to fight. But the more the mystery unravels, the more it becomes clear that one of them will have to choose which is more important: his love… or his life.
"It is possible to argue about taste--but not about true style. A gentleman can be recognised immediately from his confident appearance, his charm, and his carefully chosen clothes. Gentleman is the tried-and-tested guide on matters of style and quality. This new, revised edition is distinguished by its even more elegant layout and many current made-to-measure additions, especially concerning the influence of Italian wear. From choosing a good tailor to proper shoe care, this book is an indispensible companion for indisputable good taste." 700 colour illustrations
A glamorous and sumptuous celebration of Black male artists, actors, entertainers and writers of the 20th century. Author Nichelle Gainer has drawn on personal family memories and largely undiscovered library archives to create a glorious collection of images and biographies that explore the lives and indomitable spirit of wonderful men who wowed audiences on screen, sports field, stage and the page, but who went largely ignored by mainstream media.
Featuring a half-Chinese detective protagonist, A GENTLEMAN'S MURDER is a must for those who love mysteries and reads like a Christie-esque whodunit with a modern eye toward the historical treatment of Chinese veterans and post-war racism.
