The world-famous sleuth rushes home to congratulate the happy couple and enjoy the unique experience of giving his father away to the bride. The honeymoon over, Richard and his new wife return home to find an envelope containing a $100 bill and half of a $1,000 bill—a down payment for one of the most puzzling cases the Queen men will ever encounter. Accompanying the money is a letter summoning Inspector Queen and his spouse to a peculiar vacation in the wilds of New York.

In the first major book devoted to the trumpet in more than two decades, John Wallace and Alexander McGrattan trace the surprising evolution and colorful performance history of one of the world's oldest instruments. They chart the introduction of the trumpet and its family into art music, and its rise to prominence as a solo instrument, from the Baroque "golden age," through the advent of valved brass instruments in the nineteenth century, and the trumpet's renaissance in the jazz age. The authors offer abundant insights into the trumpet's repertoire, with detailed analyses of works by Haydn, Handel, and Bach, and fresh material on the importance of jazz and influential jazz trumpeters for the reemergence of the trumpet as a solo instrument in classical music today. Wallace and McGrattan draw on deep research, lifetimes of experience in performing and teaching the trumpet in its various forms, and numerous interviews to illuminate the trumpet's history, music, and players. Copiously illustrated with photographs, facsimiles, and music examples throughout, The Trumpet will enlighten and fascinate all performers and enthusiasts [Publisher description].

"Economy Hall: The Hidden History of a Free Black Brotherhood tells the story of the Sociâetâe d'Economie et d'Assistance Mutuelle, a New Orleans mutual aid society founded by free men of color in 1836. The group was one of the most important multiethnic, intellectual communities in the US South: educators, world-traveling merchants, soldiers, tradesmen, and poets who rejected racism and colorism to fight for suffrage and education rights for all. The author drew on the meeting minutes of the Sociâetâe d'Economie as well as census and civil records, newspapers, and numerous archival sources to write a narrative stretching from the Haitian Revolution through the early jazz age"--

WHAT IF THE GODS WERE REAL? That’s the question Dr. Dan Kotler—Archaeologist and FBI Consultant—finds himself struggling to answer after a Druidic tomb is unearthed in the mountains of Egypt. Why did the Druids build a site in Egypt, thousands of years ago? And what implications does this site have for human history? Kotler’s not the only one looking for answers. The Alihat Iadida—the New Gods—is a powerful cult that wants control of the site, and of the bronze sword that Kotler himself helped to discover, twenty years earlier. That sword could be the key to unlocking the Otherworld—the realm of the gods, and a source of world-dominating power. Dr. Kotler and Agent Roland Denzel once again find themselves facing threats and dangers, fighting for their lives in the mountains of Egypt. And this time, they may face the gods themselves. Picking up where his novella, “The Brass Hall,” left off, Kevin Tumlinson takes readers on another thrilling ride through misplaced history, with stakes that could change the world. THE GOD EXTINCTION IS THE SEVENTH NOVEL IN KEVIN TUMLINSON’S DAN KOTLER ARCHAEOLOGICAL THRILLERS.
