‘Inside the Lines’ (1915) is a gripping novel by American writers Earl Derr Biggers and Robert Wells Ritchie. On the eve of the First World War as preparations for the conflict are in full swing, American businesswoman, Jane Gerson, is stranded on the tiny island of Gibraltar, unable to get back home. With rumours of a German plot and spies around every corner, Jane’s path home is fraught with suspicion and danger. This page-turning adventure thriller is perfect for fans of espionage films and fiction. Earl Derr Biggers (1884-1933) was an American writer of novels and plays. He predominantly wrote detective mysteries and famously created the Chinese-American detective, Charlie Chan, which has been adapted for film and TV on numerous occasions. His most popular works include 'The House Without a Key', 'Seven Keys to Baldplate', and 'The Black Camel'. Robert Welles Ritchie (1879-1942) was an American writer and journalist. He wrote novels and short stories and is mostly remembered today for 'Inside the Lines', 'Trails to Two Moons', and 'Dust of the Desert'. Many of his works were also adapted for film.

The Divine Miss Marble

A Life of Tennis, Fame, and Mystery

By: Robert Weintraub

“In Robert Weintraub’s exhaustive biography, The Divine Miss Marble, he transports the reader into Marble’s vibrant world. It’s a dreamy, indomitable life worth reading about as today’s tennis tries to return to form.”—The Washington Post “An intriguing book about a fascinating woman . . . Highly recommended.”—Library Journal (starred review) “Delightful and engrossing, this is a must for tennis fans.”—Publishers Weekly The story of 1930s tennis icon Alice Marble, and her life of sports, celebrity, and incredible mystery Who was Alice Marble? In her public life, she was the biggest tennis star of the pre-war era, a household name like Joe DiMaggio and Joe Louis. She was famous for overcoming serious illness to win the biggest tournaments, including Wimbledon. She was also a fashion designer and trendsetter, a contributor to a pioneering new comic called Wonder Woman—and friend to the biggest names in Hollywood and society, like Carole Lombard and Clark Gable, William Randolph Hearst and Marion Davies, and members of families named Bloomingdale, Loew, and du Pont. She helped integrate tennis with her support of Althea Gibson, and even coached two young women who became stars in their own right: Billie Jean King and Sally Ride. Yet her private life provoked constant speculation while she was alive, and her own memoirs added layers of legend upon stories. According to Alice, she married a man who was killed in the skies over Europe during World War II. But who was the man she loved, and had he even existed? She was widely known for her patriotism during World War II. Had she really nearly given her life for her country as a spy, shot during a wild car chase fleeing foreign espionage agents? In The Divine Miss Marble, bestselling author Robert Weintraub traveled the country to uncover her fascinating story. And the more he learned about her, the more her mysteries and contradictions deepened. Alice was a powerful woman who knew her worth, demanding equal pay to men decades earlier than other female athletes; yet she was held in sway by a domineering, highly successful coach with whom she had a volatile relationship. She was renowned for her California style, and had a brilliant mind and the guts to overcome a lifetime of physical trauma. For the first time here, we come closer than ever before to the truths of this unforgettable life, and somehow it’s a story even more extraordinary than everything we already know about the divine Alice Marble.
