    Charles Paris is, as ever, waiting for a phone call from his agent, and is driven to painting and decorating to make ends meet. A rare evening out at a high-profile restaurant among stars of stage and screen promises a break in the depressing routine. But when the restaurant’s handsome, temperamental chef is brutally murdered, Charles finds himself drawn into the ensuing investigation. At first it seems an open and shut case: the chef’s partner is in France within hours of having a spectacular quarrel with him over a pretty youth.

Follow him into a world where dark parts of a city can have tunnels instead of streets and clusters of dragon-scaled towers are the abode of seers living in the greatest city of all. A fog of fear rises when the immortals who lived in secret among humans, stir, and sorcerers vie for a deadly but powerful staff in a circle of combat in a bid for domination.

    Let us hesitate no longer to announce that the sensual passions and mysteries are equally sacred with the spiritual mysteries and passions, wrote D. H. Lawrence in Women in Love, his masterpiece heralding the erotic consciousness of the 20th century. Lawrence explores love, sex, passion, and marriage through the eyes of two sisters, Gudrun and Ursula Brangwen. Intelligent, incisive, and observant, the two very different sisters pursue thrilling, torrid affairs with their lovers, Rupert and Gerald, while searching for more mature emotional relationships. Against a haunting World War I backdrop of coal mines, factories, and a beleaguered working class, Gudrun and Ursula's temperamental differences spark an ongoing debate regarding their society, their inner lives, and the mysteries between men and women. Lawrence considered this to be his best novel. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Maureen O’Brien. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/blak/010156/bk_blak_010156_sample.mp3.
