"If you wake up in the night and hear a tap running somewhere in the house, what to you do? You get up, of course, and go and turn the tap off. A little later you hear the tap running again. You are alone in the house, and you know you turned the tap off. What do you think? The ghosts in these stories all have unfinished business with the living world. They come back from the grave to continue their work, to keep a promise, to look for something they have lost. Sometimes they want to help people, sometimes they want to punish them - or kill them."--Back cover

A Florence, la veille de Noël, Langley Smythe, un diplomate retraité d'origine anglaise, est découvert mort dans son appartement. Au terme de son enquête, l'adjudant Guarnaccia, malgré une grippe envahissante et un stagiaire encombrant, va mettre au jour une sombre affaire de trafic d'objets d'art. Ce Maigret florentin (il officie au palais Pitti où il commande les carabiniers) est d'origine sicilienne. Gastronome notoire, doté d'un tempérament réservé, il compense son flegme inattendu par une opiniâtreté tenace. En mettant en scène dans le cadre enchanteur de Florence - ses ruelles encombrées, ses petits commerçants de quartier - ce personnage, héros depuis 1981 d'une douzaine d'enquêtes, sa mère spirituelle s'est attiré les louanges, d'autant plus flatteuses que rares, de Georges Simenon soi-même !

When the children dug a hole in the gravel-pit, they were very surprised at what they found. 'It' was a Psammead, a sand-fairy, thousands of years old. It was a strange little thing - fat and furry, and with eyes on long stalks. It was often very cross and unfriendly, but it could give wishes - one wish a day. 'How wonderful!' the children said. But wishes are difficult things. They can get you into trouble . . .

The island of Corfu is one of the most beautiful Greek islands. It is a place of sunshine, poetry, mystery. It is possibly the magic island that William Shakespeare was thinking of - the island where Prospero practices his 'rough magic', in the famous play The Tempest. What better place for an out-of-work actress to relax for a few weeks? But the island is full of danger and mysteries, and Lucy Waring's holiday is far from peaceful.
