Pound Ridge began as an isolated town where shoe making, dairy farming, and basket making were the main occupations. It is blessed with being located slightly away from main highways, industrial development, and commercial sprawl, and during its first 200 years of settlement, Pound Ridge's isolation was also its greatest asset. In the late 19th century, the town had key local industries that provided employment for its residents, but by the time of the Great Depression, the town's population had dwindled to around 500 residents. During the 1960s, Ye Great Meadow on Long Ridge Road was the alternate site for the United Nations world headquarters. Pound Ridge features rarely seen archival photographs of important events and buildings, as well as maps and historical narrative that span 300 years.

Quintember: The First Volume of the Misdemeanours of Dr Felix Culpepper

IndieBooks

When there are high crimes to be covered up, mysteries to be wrapped up in enigmas, or a murderer to be liquidated, literally, there is only one man in England who can be trusted with the task: Felix Culpepper, tutor in Classics at St Wygfortis College, Cambridge, and assassin-at-large for the British Establishment. From the eerie deserts of New Mexico to the high-rolling hotels of the Adriatic, Culpepper moves with consummate ease and an unexpected penchant for guns, drugs and esoteric methods of murder; all to save himself from the drudgery of cramming Latin into the privileged yet empty skulls of the dregs of Britain's aristocracy. With an intellectual vanity that rivals Holmes, more self-esteem than Bond and a blood-steeped amorality that out-Ripleys Hannibal Lector, Culpepper is the ideal hero for our debased days. And only in his student, side-kick (and pending Nemesis) Margot ffontaines, does he meet his match. Parricide follows Quintember.

Mystery

Has Dr Felix Culpepper, freelance assassin to the British Establishment, finally met his match? Few other Cambridge Fellows have quite Felix's experience of life, or of death. Now he takes a break from his unofficial role as assassin of choice to the British Establishment to right some wrongs and eliminate some rival killers on his own account. From New York to Venice, he cheerfully takes on the international aristocracy of murder. But then, amid the fragrant mellowness of England's heartwoods, he faces a more disturbing - and violent - moral dilemma than ever before.
