When one of London's best-known literary agents is found dead in strange circumstances, having fallen headlong from his office window,…
DCI Slider is under pressure from the Borough Commander to confirm a case of accidental death. But when the evidence points to murder, Slider and his team find themselves uncovering some decidedly scandalous secrets in the suave and successful Ed Wiseman's past. An embittered ex-wife. A discarded mistress. A frustrated would-be author. A disgruntled former employee. Many had reason to hold a grudge again the late lamented literary agent. But who would feel strongly enough to kill him? Any leads in the investigation seem only to result in more questions - not least of which is the identity of the elusive Calliope Hunt. Who is she - and what is her connection to the train of events?Par James Comey. 2023
In the thrilling first crime novel from former FBI director James Comey, a murder investigation reveals deadly connections between high-ranking…
politicians and the mafia When a years-long case against a powerful mobster finally cracks and an unimpeachable witness takes the stand, federal prosecutor Nora Carleton is looking forward to putting the defendant away for good. The mobster, though, has other plans. As the witness's testimony concludes, a note is passed to the prosecution offering up information into the assassination of a disgraced former New York governor, murdered in his penthouse apartment just days before. It's enough to blow the case wide open, and to send Nora into a high-stakes investigation of conspiracy, corruption, and danger. Drawing from the author's decades in federal law enforcement, including his years in Manhattan as a mob prosecutor and later the chief federal prosecutor, Central Park West is a fast-paced legal thriller with an intriguing plot enriched by real-life details and experiences. That unique perspective gives the novel much of its allure, but it's the unforgettable characters, shocking twists, and courtroom scenes as authentic as they are dramatic that will leave listeners looking forward to more from this bold new talent in the genrePar Ann Rule. 2010

"Un soir de juillet 2008, Amy Mills, étudiante dans une ville côtière du Yorkshire, est sauvagement assassinée, le crâne fracassé…
contre un mur. Quelques mois plus tard, non loin de là, on retrouve dans un ravin le corps d'une septuagénaire, Fiona Barnes, dont la tête a été écrasée à coups de pierre. Le mode opératoire similaire laisse penser que les deux affaires sont liées. Si l'enquête piétine, des zones d'ombre dans le passé de la vieille dame ne tardent pas à apparaître. Placée dans une ferme du Yorkshire pendant les bombardements de Londres en 1940, Fiona, alors âgée de onze ans, s'était liée d'amitié avec Chad, l'un des fils de sa famille d'accueil. Par jeu, tous deux avaient pris en grippe un orphelin handicapé mental lui aussi logéà la ferme, et à le maltraiter. "Nobody", comme l'avaient surnommé cruellement à l'époque les deux enfants tortionnaires, a-t-il, des années plus tard, cherché à se venger ? Au fil d'une intrigue policière habilement conçue, Charlotte Link nous plonge au coeur des secrets et non-dits de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, et livre l'un de ses meilleurs romans à ce jour." -- 4e de couvPar Henriette Chardak. 2011

de jumelles. Personne n'a jamais expliqué l'ombre qui recouvre trois ans de sa vie, et en voici la raison : En 2009, au cours d'une vente aux enchères chez Christie 's, deux livres annotés et signés par Alcofribas Nasier (pseudonyme de Rabelais) déroutent un acheteur américain et une jeune journaliste. Tous deux décident alors de mener l'enquête et découvrent des confessions détaillées de l'auteur à sa fille Françoise. Cette simple Clarisse serait la soeur jumelle de Jeanne d'Albret, fille de Marguerite de Navarre. Une recherche approfondie des codes utilisés entre Rabelais et la soeur du roi François Ier va déclencher une bombe historique : François Rabelais serait le grand-père d'Henri IV !

Quand l'amour et la passion bouleversent ce que l'on croyait savoir des origines d'une certaine royauté..." -- 4e de couvPar Charlaine Harris. 2011

A secret chamber. A mysterious shipwreck. A murder in the desolate salt marshes. A seemingly straightforward private case turns out…
to be much more complicated-and sinister-than Special Agent A.X.L. Pendergast ever could have anticipated. Pendergast, together with his ward Constance Greene, travels to the quaint seaside village of Exmouth, Massachusetts, to investigate the theft of a priceless wine collection. But inside the wine cellar, they find something considerably more disturbing: a bricked-up niche that once held a crumbling skeleton. Pendergast and Constance soon learn that Exmouth is a town with a very dark and troubled history, and this skeleton may be only the first hint of an ancient transgression, kept secret all these years. But they will discover that the sins of the past are still very much alive. Local legend holds that during the 1692 witch trials in Salem, the real witches escaped, fleeing north to Exmouth and settling deep in the surrounding salt marshes, where they continued to practice their wicked arts. Then, a murdered corpse turns up in the marshes. The only clue is a series of mysterious carvings. Could these demonic symbols bear some relation to the ancient witches' colony, long believed to be abandoned? A terrible evil lurks beneath the surface of this sleepy seaside town-one with deep roots in Exmouth's grim history. And it may be that Constance, with her own troubled past, is the only one who truly comprehends the awful danger that she, Pendergast, and the residents of Exmouth must facePar Charlaine Harris. 2006

In Holy Chow , the next mystery from bestselling author David Rosenfelt, the beloved characters—both human and canine—of this fan favorite series are back on the case with the author's trademark wit and humor. Retired lawyer Andy Carpenter's calling has always been running the Tara Foundation. The dog rescue organization places hundreds of dogs in new homes every year. It's added up to so many dogs and new owners that Andy can't even do the math. But there's one dog—and one owner—Andy will always remember. About a year ago, Rachel Morehouse came to the foundation looking for a companion. In her sixties and recently widowed, Rachel wanted a senior dog that also needed someone. Andy took a liking to her, Rachel took a liking to Lion, an older Chow Chow, and the rest is history. That is, until Rachel calls Andy begging for a favor: If Rachel dies, will Andy take care of Lion if her stepson cannot? Andy agrees, no questions asked, and promptly forgets about it... until he receives a call from Rachel's estate to attend her will reading. Which is where he meets Rachel's stepson, Tony, who is promptly arrested for his stepmother's murder. And he wants Andy to prove his innocence. Andy has continued to learn more about the woman he so greatly admired and the businesses she ran, and holy chow, was this woman impressive. The person who killed her deserves to be held accountable, and if Tony is to be believed, they're still out there. And that possibility is too much for Andy to remain on the sidelines.
