Mary Roberts Rinehart -- novelist, playwright, mother of the man whose name still graces a powerful publishing company -- was also a war correspondent during World War I. This volume, "Kings, Queens and Pawns," first published in 1915, collects many of her reports. Delightful and disturbing reading, the book at first glance reads more like a novel than a collection of war reports. If you have an interest in Rinehart or the first world war, you won't want to miss this one.

Autorenporträt
Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876 - 1958) was an American writer, often called the American Agatha Christie, although her first mystery novel was published 14 years before Christie's first novel in 1920. Rinehart is considered the source of the phrase "The butler did it" from her novel The Door (1930), although the novel does not use the exact phrase. Rinehart is also considered to have invented the "Had-I-But-Known" school of mystery writing, with the publication of The Circular Staircase (1908).
