John Milne (1) (1952–)

A small boy walks in a quiet town called Crossway. All the people who live there wear hats. The small boy brings a magic barber and everybody has their hair cut and throws away the hat. The next morning, something surprising happens and they regret they got rid of their hats. It is a short story, but made me think what a good businessman should be like.

Salahadin is an inspector in the Egyptian police. His job is to protect Egyptian antiquitions. An antiquition is something which is very old, and archeologists studies them. One day, Salahadin's friend who is an archeolohgist was going to visit him. Salahadin waited him, but he is murdered. In his room of hotel, there were some box which belonged to him. However, one of them lost. To judge from his note, he was killed because he found a valuable antiquition. Can Salahadin find a muder?
I show more think this story is good and unique. The key of this story is Egyptian antiquitions, so people, place and other thing which is in this book relate to Egyptian antiquitions.That is different from other mystery novels.I've read few books which goes to the end with them. However, this story is lack of thrilling, and Salahadin is not a good inspector, I think. He is a little careless and not similar to major detective such as Holmes. show less

I was not able to expect contents of story from title of this book.
At first,I thought it was campus life story.
But it was interesting mystery story.
This book has many color pictures, so we can read this book in a short time.
If you read this book,you will understand pleasure of this story!

This story is exciting. I think Salahdin is clever and brave. He stood up to enemies and finally he got Black Cat. But I don't know why he killed a person. I think he should not have killed him.
