About the books The Mayfair Mafia: The Lives and Crimes of the Messina Brothers by Dick Kirby One immigrant Italian family ran London’s thriving vice trade from the mid-1930s for some twenty years. The Messina brothers imported prostitutes on an industrial scale. Demanding 80% of earnings, the family became wealthy, purchasing expensive properties, cars and influence. The brothers ruled with a ruthless combination of charm, blackmail and threats of disfigurement or death. The author is a former Metropolitan police officer. Puzzled to Death (Puzzle Lady Mysteries) by Parnell Hall The Puzzle Lady, likes nothing better than to solve a good mystery. This time she’s got a killer on her hands. Bakerhaven, Connecticut, seems like the ideal place to host a charity crossword tournament, after all, the town is home to Cora Felton, the columnist known as the Puzzle Lady. But soon the town’s attention is fixated on something far more than crosswords, when the body of the town tart is discovered lying dead on her kitchen floor. Before anyone can stop her, Cora is hot on the trail of the truth.
