Book cover for The Lonely Hearts Hotel
The pawn dealer was always impressed by Pierrot’s perspicuity when it came to selecting the paintings. He always plucked incredible works of art, the most valuable pieces in the collection.

Agatha Christie
“what I’m pointing out to you, M. Poirot, is that you can’t just dismiss the criminal with a doctrine of original sin, or wilful disregard of the laws of the land. You’ve got to have an understanding of the root of the trouble if you’re ever to effect a cure of the young delinquent.”
Agatha Christie, Hickory Dickory Dock

Robert  Hutton
“Roger’s view is that the country is full of evilly-intentioned persons, but that there is no necessity to drag them out of their holes. They had much better be left to rot in obscurity, and will be swamped by the common sense of the community as a whole.’ As the operation continued, so did the debate within MI5 about its future.”
Robert Hutton, Agent Jack: The True Story of MI5's Secret Nazi Hunter

Robert  Hutton
“Worse, it had revealed something about Britain that few wanted to acknowledge. The country told itself that, while other nations might be willing to goose-step or bend to the will of a dictator, such things were not in the British nature. But Roberts had found ordinary British men and women who didn’t just privately wish Hitler well, but were prepared to risk their lives to help him. Behind them were surely many more who would cheerfully have gone along with fascism if it had seemed the safest course.”
Robert Hutton, Agent Jack: The True Story of MI5's Secret Nazi Hunter

Mario  Giordano
“It’s simply that Uncle knows one has to make regular sacrifices to the gods of happiness by wasting time”
Mario Giordano, Auntie Poldi and the Vineyards of Etna

“Now everybodys heard of Bletchley Park and the work they did breaking secret codes”
Peter Hore, Bletchley Park's Secret Source: Churchill's Wrens and the Y Service in World War II
