'A perfect Christmas crime story.' Elly Griffiths A Christmas murder mystery featuring the real-life couple who invented Cluedo 'An ingenious plot' 'A great read for Christmas . . . nostalgic and thoroughly entertaining.' 'Unexpectedly emotive, engaging and sweet.' Christmas Eve, 1943. Anthony and Elva Pratt arrive in a snowy English village to run a murder mystery game - and instead discover a real murder. The Pratts had planned for festive cheer, despite the wartime shortages: with Elva's map of the hotel and Anthony's prop weapons to use as clues, the guests in their parlour game would move through the rooms to figure out whodunnit. But when Anthony discovers the cook's sister Miss Silver beaten to death, they instead find themselves investigating a shockingly real crime. The hotel manager Mr Browning is trying to keep the peace but the guests are agitated, Colonel Colman is about to take over the hotel for the war effort - and the mysterious Mrs Threadgold hasn't been seen at all. In games, there's only one victim - but this is real life. Can the Pratts puzzle out this Christmas mystery before it's too late? 'A true Christmas cracker!' Andrew Taylor 'What fun!' Lynne Truss Praise for Nicola Upson: 'Always a delight.' Sunday Times 'Upson [. . .] gives new life to a classic murder setting.' Spectator 'Wonderful writing.' Ian Moore 'A talented author of historical crime.' Scotsman

London, 1880s. Mr. Edward Langley has a wife in Kensington, a steady position in the City, and a gold wedding band he never removes. He also has an ache he refuses to name. Every week he lowers himself onto the marble bench in the steam room, towel knotted at his waist, and tells himself it's for his chest and his nerves. He tells himself he isn't watching the other men. He tells himself his cock isn't hard. Hassan, the dark-eyed, heavy-armed dock worker who attends the baths, has seen through every one of those lies. He has watched Edward for three visits. He knows exactly what a man like him needs, and he knows how to give it without leaving a single mark. Behind the bolted door of a private room, Hassan strips him, washes him, and teaches him to kneel. He rims him open on the warm marble, takes his virginity slowly and thoroughly, and edges him until he's sobbing. Then he scrubs him pink and spotless again, buttons him back into his good wool, and lets him walk out into the London evening with his collar white, his ring gleaming, and a stranger's load still warm inside him. Clean on the Outside is a short, scorching tale of a respectable husband's first time with a man. It is slow-burn, explicit, and unashamedly filthy, with a bathhouse-attendant kink for corrupting proper gentlemen and sending them home polished. Contains explicit male/male sex, first-time anal, rimming, oral, edging, orgasm control, cum play, a married protagonist, and a very dirty secret. For adult readers only.

A celebration of Yiquan for enthusiasts seeking a deeper and richer appreciation of the magnificence of the Internal Arts A departure from the standard "how-to" manual, Yiquan 360 provides the often missing theory and associated practice that will allow students of the Internal Arts to unlock their full potential as practitioners. It will demystify and fill knowledge gaps that exist outside of what is commonly taught and available in Internal Arts literature. Yiquan 360 was written to fulfill a promise made by Ling Seto to the late Francis H.T. Chan, a school mate and sparring partner of Bruce Lee, who served as a combat instructor to British troops stationed in Hong Kong. This book contains insights and teachings from almost fifteen years of training, observation and direction under Mr. Chan that are supported by Ling Seto's own experience and discoveries from five decades of martial arts study. As one of the rare texts to comprehensively describe and clarify the theory and practice behind the types of Internal Power and the techniques used by Yiquan to produce them, this book also reveals the founder's ultimate aim for Yiquan, and provides insight into other martial arts that utilise Internal Power, answering questions including the following: The rationale behind the slow pace of Taiji Yiquan's equivalent to Bagua's circle walking The role of Xingyi in influencing Yiquan The relation of the Internal Arts to Shaolin Qigong For current practitioners, this book is an invaluable resource that provides a bird's eye view of Yiquan, explaining all aspects of the art and the proper training progressions required to advance. For other internal arts students, this volume provides key insights into the methodology to produce Internal Power in their own practice. Through the understanding of Yiquan training procedures and their purpose, students can rediscover methods in their respective arts that will enhance their training and skills.
