The Left-Handed Marriage
by A. O’Connor
Genre: Historical Fiction | History
FREE for a limited time
Irish beauty Diana Cantwell meets charming Max Von Hoffsten, eldest son and heir to a German count, and their romance blossoms in the carefree days before the First World War. But when they become engaged, Max’s father insists on a ‘left-handed marriage’, a custom among the German aristocracy in cases where the bride does not have the required pedigree. This means that, although Diana will be Max’s lawful wife, neither she nor their children will have any claim to Max’s eventual title or wealth.
Deeply in love, Max and Diana agree to these terms and the newlyweds dazzle from Ascot to the Riviera and host lavish skiing parties at their estate in the Alps. However, as the dark clouds of war gather across Europe, Diana becomes concerned by her loving husband’s unpredictability and what she suspects are sinister secrets beneath his family’s glamorous lifestyle.
When war is declared Diana finds herself caught between two sides, as her own Anglo-Irish family are fighting for the British and Max is an officer in the German army. Diana, refusing to leave her beloved husband, becomes a figure of mistrust in Germany and is portrayed as a treasonous woman in the British press.
When Max is reported missing presumed dead, Diana is rejected by his family. Widowed, penniless, her reputation in tatters and her own family in Ireland destroyed by the war, Diana sets out to rebuild her life.
A. O’Connor once more draws us irresistibly into the past and spins an extraordinary tale that holds us spellbound. Here again is that mixture of impeccable research and powerful storytelling that made The House and The Secrets of Armstrong House bestsellers

San Francisco, 1947. The War is over. Sgt. Alexander Blade, former kiddie heartthrob of the silent screen, returns to San Francisco to start life anew as a private investigator.
He rents an office near Chinatown and tries to make sense of crazy, post-war San Francisco. He’s got a new client, a real oddball with a husband who’s gone missing. But when Blade’s former Hollywood cameraman turns up in his office as dead as fried oysters (with cash retainer in hand), Blade is drawn into a series of bizarre deaths of former silent film child actors. The cops call it accidental death, but Blade suspects murder. To find the serial killer, Blade must revisit a time when Hollywood knew him as Buster Blade, Wonder Boy of the Westerns.
While tracking down his client’s missing husband, Blade finds himself in the ruins of an abandoned movie studio, where he discovers, too late, that he’s been cast in one final scene that ends in murder.
Cold War, Hot Lead is the first Mace Palmer novel featuring Alexander “Buster” Blade, Frisco Detective. He is part of the pulp magazine, noir era of the 1940s, where modern sensibilities barely exist.
