(3 of 3)
The Real Silvestri, by Mario Soldati. An old friend learns shocking things about the title figure after his death, and the author skillfully rephrases an old truth-that most people know of others only what it is comfortable to know.
Skyline, by Gene Fowler. The 1920s again, with gusto.
First Family, by Christopher Davis. A skilled novelist examines a picked-over but exciting theme-what happens when Negroes move in next door.
