The Company
'[A] stunning Gothic chiller' Irish Times 'Diabolically good . . . J.M. Varese's gothic tale is sinuously elegant and claustrophobic as deadly Victorian wallpaper' Kate Griffin, author of Fyneshade London, 1870. Lucy Braithwhite lives a privileged existence as heir to the fortune of Braithwhite & Company - the most successful purveyor of English luxury wallpapers the world over. The company's formulas have been respected for nearly a century, but have always remained cloaked in mystery. No one has been able to explain the originality of design, or the brilliance of their colours, leaving many to wonder if the mysterious spell-like effect of their wallpapers is due simply to artistry, or something more sinister. When Mr Luckhurst, the company's manager, and the man who has acted as surrogate father to Lucy and her invalid brother John since they were children, suddenly dies, Lucy is shocked to discover that there is no succession plan in place. Who will ensure that the company and her

Company turnérade som förband åt hästbandet hemma i USA, och här är då debutmini'n. En av årets vassaste nykomlingar inom den s.k. skäggrocken... eller hur?
The White Company
“The White Companyis a lively romance, and very good reading for boys and friends of old times and tall knights.” -Andrew Lang “Start a story by Conan Doyle and you cannot stop reading, whether you are ten or sixty.”-Michael Dirda “The immense talent, passion and literary brilliance that Conan Doyle brought to his work gives him a unique place in English letters.”-Stephen Fry Arthur Conan Doyle’s The White Company (1891) is a vivid and action-packed historical adventure novel set against the backdrop of the Hundred Years’ War in 14th century Western Europe.

As Alleyne travels through England he meets two men in search of
