This vintage collection from the Nelson Doubleday Best-in-Books series brings together three captivating works of historical fiction. Thomas B. Costain’s “The Silver Chalice” is a gripping tale set in the early days of Christianity, exploring the creation of a sacred chalice and the lives of those caught up in the tumultuous birth of a new religion. Simultaneously, “The Desperate Hours” by Joseph Hayes transports readers to the suburbs of 1950s America, where a family is taken hostage in a tense thriller that became a classic film noir. Finally, Charles M. Schulz’s inclusion in this volume is a delightful surprise, offering a glimpse into the literary talents of the beloved “Peanuts” creator. Together, these novels provide a rich tapestry of storytelling, spanning genres and eras, and offering a captivating window into the diverse literary landscape of the mid-20th century.
