In a remote house in the middle of Dartmoor, six shadowy figures huddle around a table for a seance. Tension rises as the spirits spell out a chilling message: “Captain Trevelyan . . . dead . . . murder.”

Is this black magic or simply a macabre joke? The only way to be certain is to locate Captain Trevelyan. Unfortunately, his home is six miles away and, with snowdrifts blocking the roads, someone will have to make the journey on foot…

Was it a misstep that sent a handsome stranger plummeting to his death from a cliff? Or something more sinister? Fun-loving adventurers Bobby Jones and Frances Derwent’s suspicions are certainly roused–espeically since the man’s dying words were so peculiar: Why didn’t they ask Evans? Bobby and Frances would love to know. Unfortunately, asking the wrong people has sent the amateur sleuths running for their lives–on a wild and deadly pursuit to discover who Evans is, what it was he wasn’t asked, and why the mysterious inquiry has put their own lives in mortal danger…

A priest’s death leads to sinister goings-on in an old country pub…

To understand the strange goings on at The Pale Horse Inn, Mark Easterbrook knew he had to begin at the beginning. But where exactly was the beginning?

Was it the savage blow to the back of Father Gorman’s head? Or was it when the priest’s assailant searched him so roughly he tore the clergyman’s cassock? Or could it have been the priest’s visit, just minutes before, to a woman on her death bed?

Or was there a deeper significance to the violent squabble which Mark Easterbrook had himself witnessed earlier?

Wherever the beginning lies, Mark and his sidekick, Ginger Corrigan, may soon have cause to wish they’d never found it…

4.50 from Paddington

Mrs McGillicuddy catches the 4.50 from Paddington station. At a certain point in her journey, Mrs McGillicuddy’s train begins to travel parallel to another train heading in the same direction. As she observes the passengers in the adjacent wagons, she sees a woman being brutally strangled. The look of terror on the woman’s face is etched into Mrs McGillicuddy’s mind’s eye as the trains break apart and head off in different directions. She must do something to help the poor woman – but what exactly can she do?

She reports the crime to the conductor and also to the guard at the next station. They are both quite skeptical, however they follow up on her report with all possible trains. To Mrs McGillicuddy’s chagrin, the woman is not found aboard any of them – dead or alive.

Enter Miss Marple. It just so happens, that Mrs McGillicuddy is on her way to see her old friend, Miss Jane Marple. She recounts what happened and Miss Marple sets to work. She retraces the steps of her friend the following day – catching the same train – she studies railway topography maps and comes to the conclusion, that the strangled woman must’ve been thrown from the train at a particular bend, whose embankment enters the property of an eccentric family – the Crackenthorpes.

Being old and frail, she cannot search for the body herself and so she enlists the help of one Lucy Eyelesbarrow – a young, intelligent and successful entrepreneur who she has encountered in the past. Together they begin to unravel the mysteries surrounding the

اصدر الكاتب والاعلامي مبارك الشعلان كتاباً بعنوان «مطبلون بلا حدود» ويصنف الاصدار انه من الادب الساخر وقد اهدى الكاتب هذا الاصدار الى قدامى المحاربين حسب وصفه وهم كل من الكاتب محمد مساعد الصالح وفؤاد الهاشم وغازي القصيبي وخالد القشطيني ومحمود السعدني وجهاد الخازن وهم الذين وصفهم في اهدائه بـ «رفاق رحلة الكتابة الساخرة الذين غيروا المعادلة في الزمن الجميل فأصبحت الناس تقرأ الجريدة من الصفحة الاخيرة».
وقد طالب الشعلان في كتابه بان تكون هناك منظمة حسب تعليقه الساخر تسمى «مطبلون بلا حدود» اسوة بالمنظمات الاخرى والذي سيعزز طلبهم مستقبلا بتوسيع دائرة نشاطهم عربيا وعالميا خاصة في زمن العولمة اسوة ببقية المنطمات النبيلة بعد ان الغيت كل الحدود بين ابناء المهنة الواحدة.
كما شارك الكاتب القدير صلاح الساير في كتابة المقدمة حيث وصف الشعلان بانه كاتب يختار مفرداته بدقة ويسطرها برشاقة لافتة كما تهفهف عباراته الرقيقة كالفراشة في بساتين الورد غير ان المعاني التي تنطوي عليها تلك العبارات قوية
