The Rembrandt Affair (Gabriel Allon)
Two families, one terrible secret, and a painting to die for ... Determined to sever his ties with the Office, Gabriel Allon has retreated to the windswept cliffs of Cornwall with his beautiful Venetian-born wife Chiara. But once again his seclusion is interrupted by a visitor from his tangled past: the endearingly eccentric London art dealer, Julian Isherwood. As usual, Isherwood has a problem. And it is one only Gabriel can solve.
Switched at birth by a female slave who fears for her infant son's life, a light-skinned child changes places with the master's white son. From this simple premise, Mark Twain fashioned one of his most entertaining, funny, yet biting novels, an engrossing tale of reversed identities, an eccentric detective, a horrible crime, and a tense courtroom scene.

Dear Me [Audiobook]
Sir Peter Ustinov's beautifully crafted autobiography is told with exquisite wit and insight. From his birth in April 1921, it spans his extraordinary career as actor, playwright, film star and director, confirming his early belief that he is 'irrevocably betrothed to laughter'. Ustinov's renowned gift for mimicry is exploited to the full in "Dear Me". Eccentric relatives, school masters, sergeant majors and manic Hollywood moguls are all brought unforgettably to life.
