On the 7th of February 1829 the notorious Irish mass murderer & 'resurrectionist' William Hare (of Burke & Hare infamy) was freed from a Scottish gaol, put on a coach to Carlisle, left on the roadside there & subsequently disappeared from human view as if he had never existed. His fellow conspirator & provider of fresh 'meat' for the Edinburgh surgeons' operating tables had earlier been hanged, but fearing the mob's vengeance, the authorities had freed Hare hoping he would vanish for ever, little knowing that his name along with the nature of his terrible crimes would reverberate & live on even if his subsequent history did not. Seeking Mr Hare takes up the story where our pariah flees his past through the Northern English countryside & finally across to Irel&. Joining forces with Hannah, a young mute farm-girl, on the way, the pair travel from one adventure in survival to the next, all the while pursued by Percy Speed, a retired London enquiry agent hired by his noble employer to track down a life-mask of Hare for his private cabinet of curiosities. However when Lord Beckford loses interest in the quest, Speed doggedly carries on, determined to come face to face with his cunning & elusive quarry, no matter what the quest costs & where it leads him. ...

For almost four desperate years, from 1939 to mid-1943, the British & American navies fought a savage, losing battle against German submarine wolfpacks. The Allies might never have turned the tide without an intelligence coup. The race to break the German U-boat codes is one of the greatest untold stories of World War II. Kahn expertly brings this tale to life in this newly-updated edition of his classic book. Soon after war broke out, Hitler s U-boats began to sever Allied lifelines. In the gray wasteland of the North Atlantic, submarines prowled; at night, the sky lit up with the flames of exploding tankers. To meet the growing crisis, ingenious amateurs joined the nucleus of dedicated professionals at Bletchley Park. As the Battle of the Atlantic raged, they raced to unlock the continually changing German naval codes. Their mission: to read the U-boat messages of Hitler s cipher device, the Enigma. Critical to their success was a series of raids at sea. U-110, captured intact in the mid-Atlantic, yielded the Enigma machine itself & also a trove of secret documents. The weather ship Lauenburg seized near the Arctic ice pack provided codesettings for an entire month. In the Mediterranean, two sailors rescued a German weather cipher than enabled the team at Bletchley to solve the Enigma after a year-long blackout. 23.4 x 16.2 x 3.8 cm, pages 387 ...
