Crime. Club
Thriller Has
Laughs Also

Georgette Heyer, whose latest
offering is entitled They Found
Him Dead" is one Of the most
popular of the Crime Club au-
thors. She has gained her read
ers by keeping her thrillers on
an even keel with a balance Of
effervescence and hilarity.
Into this volume then she
thrusts Silas Kane, head Of q
manufacturing firm celebrating
his sixtieth birthday. 1t is one
of those family get-together par
ties which has been stretched to
include the family of his bust
ness partner as well. It turns
out to be Mr.. Kane's last party
because he is discovered at the
bottom of q cliff near his home
the next morning, as the title
suggests, quite dead.
ALL UNDER SUSPICION .
The little by-plays that oc-
CURED the night before at the
party give the reader ample rea-
son for SuSpecting everyone.
For instance, there is Clement
Kane, nephew and junior part
ner in his uncle's firm, who
comes into the family fortune
and hasn't very much to recon-
mend him as a useful citizen.
He might have remained a good
suspect all the way through the
book except that he gets shot
just at the beginning of the in
veStigation Of his uncle's death.
TO AN OLD FRIEND
Miss Heyer makes one conces-
sion in this story to an old
friend. She decides to do right
by her old character and the
story includes:
Dear old Superin tendent
Hannasyde, himself. And I think
he might be allowed to solve the
mystery, just for a great treat.
He never has solved one yet, and
I'm afraid they'll leave him out
of the C. I. D. if I don't let him
do. some good once in his life.
He is assisted by the faithful
Sergeant Hemingway"

An Amazing
River Story

In a letter. tucked between the
book jacket and the novel itself,
Neil M. Gum explains that his
story, Highland River" is mo
individual biography"
Every incident" he says,
may have had its double" He
goes on to admit that some
Of the characters seem to have
strayed in from Morning Tide
ian earlier book under different
names; confesses that he can
not explain his odd behavior:
hopes that his friend will see the
adventure as a poaching expedi-
ton and feels that he will not
be altogether disappo inted
should he come in with an empty
bag"
AMAZING BOOK
Well, empty bag or not, Mr..
Gum has turned out an amaz-
ing book in his story Of a river
and the growth of a man. There
is no prelude to the excitement.
It starts at once on the second
page when young Kenn begins
his adventure battling with a 30
pound salmon by his own Well
Pool.
He had no weapons of attack
other than his fists and what
they could grab from the river
bottom. But in the end, torn and
bloody and dripping, he drags
the fish on dry land and tri-
umphs. Thus begins the saga of
the Scottish lad, whose intrepid
spirit and hunting instinct lead
to an exploration of the river,
starting at the river mouth and
continuing to the source itself.
STIMULATING
Fishermen will perhaps delude
themselves into believing that
the book was written exclusively
for their particular benefit, but
few people with zest for ad-
venture of any sort will be will
ing to put it down unfinished.
Meet young Kenn at the edge
of the Well Pool and you will
bear with him to the end. His
is a stimulating journey.

Real Carriers

One of the strangest postal
services of today is that between
Ailsa Craig Lighthouse and the
Ayrshire mainland, England. It
is carried out by a flock of
pigeons, whose homing instinct
becomes of inestimable benefit
to lone watchers out at sea.
There are also two families Of
people who make curling stones
in the quarries on the island.
These, too, are linked up post
ally by means of this strange
mail.
This mail service has, like
other mail services, occasional
mishaps. Sometimes hawks nest
ing on Ailsa Craig pounce on
the letter-carrying pigeon, re-
Sulting in the mailman" and

Phineas Finn

share Of readable literature
available at a modest cost. but
the volumes are compact enough

the prolific Anthony Trollope,
which was first published in
1869. the oxford Press has seen

TWO NEW VOLUMES
The Finn books have been
coming in since July. The latest
additions appear this week. For
example, No. AT and 44s offer
the semi-political tales of Phineas
Finn in two volumes. No. 447
outlines the background Of
Phineas and follows his progress
from barrister onward to a seat
in Parliament. At first, Mr.. Finn
fares better socially than politi-
cally, what with the Queens
new government being formed
about a fortnight after taking
his seat. Modesty, however, and
self-reliance eventually strike an
even balance and Finn finds his

FeiHOen' NOUeI

Ruth Felner's third novel,
Sunset At Noon," is essentially
a woman'S book.
It concerns Constantine Flem-
ming and her rise to success.
It also raises a question of mon
umental significance in a world
Of career women. It probes into
the inquiry as to whether indie
pendence, loyalty, logic a n d
straight orWardneSs are assets
in a woman's character.
Constantine begins her story
in postwar Vienna when her
father commits suicide. She
goes to live with a wealthy un.
Gle, who decides to marry, and
so Constantine decides to go to
work. 49,.
First she begins on a job in
her uncle's factory. From there
she enters the realm of jour.
naliSm and then to the films.
In her contact with man she
discovers that they all take ad-
vantage of her sense of fair play
and loyalty. That is, all but
one, and he falls in love with
her, only to be torn between
his passion for her and his scorn
Of independent" women.
1t is a strong book. Full Of
dramatic events and peopled
with sharply-drawn characters
and a wealth of lively detail.

now offers The Seventeen Mil
lion"
In this small volume he takes
up the fight for the 100000
voters who voted against New
Deal policies in the last cleo
ton and propounds their theories
and their philosophy.
He says the American people
want the six following things:
l. Peace. 2. Opportunity to
progress according to their in
clinations and abilities. 3. A
rising standard of living, with
more time for leisure, recrea-
ton and spiritual development.
4. Increased security and pro-
lection. 5. Adequate care for
those unable to provide for
themselves. 6. A more stable ex-
istence, free alike from the peaks
of illusory prosperity and the
very real valleys Of temporary
depression.
Mr.. Mills volume Is directed
against what he terms the
collectivism Of the present Ad-
ministration and he undertakes
to show how anyone Of the
100000 and for that matter
any of the other voters can
gain the ends he mentioned If
they follow his party.
