The God-Seeker (1949) by Lewis, Sinclair

Project: Faded Page | 2025-04-14 | Formats: MOBI, PDF, TEXT, HTML, EPUB

America’s great storyteller has now written a compelling, affirmative novel of the coming to maturity in frontier Minnesota of a young missionary out of New England. Fired by the promptings of his conscience, torn by the insistent demands of the flesh, stimulated by the emotional and intellectual urge of religious fervor, he plays a heroic part in the rugged drama of pioneer life. With complete accuracy Mr. Lewis might have sub-titled his story “The Education of Aaron Gadd.” Moving among a host of memorable characters meticulously drawn, Aaron experiences moments of exaltation and despair, of physical violence and spiritual calm, of romantic love and passionate desire. Of the women whose lives touch his, two enchant and trouble him most: Selene, daughter of an Indian woman and a Scotch fur trader, and Huldah, ardent young missionary. The earthy conflict precipitated by these two adds a colorful thread to the pattern of Aaron’s youthful progress.—from the jacket

The Secret of High Eldersham (Desmond Merrion #1) (1930) by Street, Cecil John Charles

Project: Faded Page | 2018-04 (update) | Formats: MOBI, PDF, TEXT, HTML, EPUB

In this, his latest “shocker”, Miles Burton makes skilful use of queer superstitions and mysterious rites that still prevail in certain parts of Britain. A paper recently read before the British Association gave some account of survivals of the “black art” in rural Wales. Mr. Burton’s rousing tale tells of sinister doings in East Anglia, where murder and mystery attach to the ceremonies of a ruthless sect which puts into force certain theories of the ancient witch-cult. There is dirty work in a village public house, a curious taciturnity amongst local notabilities who are heavily involved and weird ritual when the moon is full round a woodland altar. The tale is neatly contrived and well written.--Sydney Morning Herald (20th February 1931).

The Man in the Queue (Inspector Alan Grant #1) (1929) by Mackintosh, Elizabeth

Project: Faded Page | 2017-06 (update) | Formats: TEXT, HTML, EPUB, MOBI, PDF

Inspector Alan Grant searches for the identity of a man killed in the line at a theater and for the identity of the killer—whom no one saw. A long line had formed for the standing-room-only section of the Woffington Theatre. London’s favorite musical comedy of the past two years was finishing its run at the end of the week. Suddenly, the line began to move, forming a wedge before the open doors as hopeful theatergoers nudged their way forward. But one man, his head sunk down upon his chest, slowly sank to his knees and then, still more slowly, keeled over on his face. Thinking he had fainted, a spectator moved to help, but recoiled in horror from what lay before him: the man in the queue had a small silver dagger neatly plunged into his back. With the wit and guile that have made Inspector Grant a favorite of mystery fans, the inspector sets about discovering just how a murder occurred among so many witnesses, none of whom saw a thing.
