M. M. Kaye

Original 1955 title: Death Walked in Berlin (from inside flap of St. Marin dj) Young Miranda Brand is visiting Germany for what is supposed to be a month's holiday. But from the moment that Brigadier Brindley relates the story about a fortune in lost diamonds -- a story in which Miranda herself figures in a most remarkable way -- the holiday atmosphere becomes subtly transformed into something more sinister. And when murder strikes on the night train to Berlin, Miranda finds herself unwillingly involved in a complex chain of events that will soon throw her own life into deadly peril.
Set against a background of war-scarred Berlin in the early 1950s, Death in Berlin is another consummate mystery from one of the finest storytellers of our time.

Original title: Later Than You Think: A Tale of 1958

(from inside flap of St. Martin's dj) When her aunt, Lady Emily DeBrett, offers her a position at "Flamingo,", the family estate in Kenya's Rift Valley, Victoria Caryll accepts -- realizing that acceptance means having once again to see Eden DeBrett, the man she was formerly engaged to. What Victoria does not realize is that she will arrive in a remote and dangerous region still uneasily recovering from the bloody Mau Mau revolt, and into a household already thrown into grief and confusion by one murder -- and by the ominous threats of more to come.

"Death in Kenya" is the second in a series of mysteries by M. M. Kaye that are already making publishing history. Mignon Eberhart called the premiere mystery, "Death in Zanzibar", "...a thoroughly engrossing novel. It has the rich and dramatic story of romance and conflict which we have come to expect of M. M. Kaye, plus a diverting mystery which has a logical but very surprising climax...My congratulations to the publisher, the author and to her millions of devoted fans." Death in Kenya is just as graceful, just as chilling, just as enthralling; it is a consummate mystery, written by one of the finest storytellers of our time.
