> A perfect pair of crimes... >When Louis Stevenson is found guilty of murder, he leaves the dock loudly proclaiming his innocence. And he delivers, too, a chilling invitation to the four men responsible for his conviction: 'You four, I summon to meet me at the time appointed, at the Assize of the Dying.' >The meaning of the sinister words becomes clear almost immediately with two unexpected deaths. And a young couple, convinced that an innocent man has been wrongly condemned, determine to unmask the real murderer - before he strikes again... >Murder is committed, too, in 'Aunt Helen', a story of blind obsession and psychological suspense that starts with what looks suspiciously like the perfect crime...

"A boy dreaming of Huckleberry Finn, a pastor, a seaman, a disillusioned Communist, a young Jewish girl running for her life - these five meet in a Baltic fishing village and are drawn into a daring plan of escape from Nazi Germany. Unusual in both its form and content, this novel is a masterpiece of condensed dramatic writing. Alfred Andersch investigates the many needs for flight and the strange loyalties which sometimes make escape impossible."--BOOK JACKET.

They Call Me Carpenter (A Tale of the Second Coming)

A novel that exposed the new and upcoming culture of 1920's Southern California, namely Hollywood. Sinclair does this by using Jesus, or Carpenter as Sinclair calls him, as a literary figure. The story takes place in the fictional locale Western City. It begins with a man named Billy who is attacked by a mob outside a theater after watching a German film. Billy then stumbles into a church and is visited by Carpenter, that is Jesus, who walks out of a stained glass window. Carpenter is shocked and appalled by upper-class culture. The story then roughly follows the biblical account of the Ministry of Jesus.
