Les habitants d’un immeuble ancien d’un quartier populaire de Paris se côtoient sans pourtant bien se connaître. En apparence, ils ont peu de choses en commun. Mais, nous sommes un jour de novembre 2015, et un événement terrible au Bataclan va interrompre le cours de ces vies ordinaires et singulières. Face à la grande violence se manifeste une évidence: la solidarité à travers une chaine humaine protectrice qui révèle la foi dans la vie. Un sentiment naturel de fraternité révèle chez les riverains l’urgence de l’entraide. Il n’y aura pas de héros mais, chacun à sa manière, va se métamorphoser en brave, en lâche ou en pourvoyeur de réconfort. Née à Paris, Corinne Atlas est romancière, dramaturge, scénariste et metteuse en scène. Elle est l’auteur de scénarios de téléfilms, dont « La Famille formidable » et « Le triporteur de Belleville ». Après "Les Soeurs Ribelli" publié aux éditions Fayard en 2012, (Pocket 2013) et finaliste du Prix des Maisons de la Presse, après "Les Filles chéries" publié aux éditions du Seuil en 2015, (Pocket 2018), Les Riverains est son troisième roman.

Ettore Sottsass est mondialement connu comme designer et architecte d’avant-garde, notamment pour être à l'origine du "Mouvement Post-Moderne". Des retrospectives lui sont consacrées dans les plus grands musées internationaux. Journal de mes amours est la partie de son autobiographie monumentale dans laquelle il raconte, avec un humour teinté de tendresse comment, à l’âge de 58 ans, il tombe amoureux d’une jeune artiste catalane qui fait un stage dans son atelier à Milan. Mais chez Sottsass, le sentiment amoureux s’étend à la nature, aux choses et aux mots : le lecteur entre dans le monde de ses créations et sort transfiguré de cette lecture. « Moi j’aime les gens qui ne sont pas sûrs d’eux, les perplexes, les modestes, ceux qui essayent de comprendre. J’aime bien les gens qui ont peur. » Un des plus grands designers et architectes du XXe siècle, aventurier, utopiste, voyageur, Ettore Sottsass s’est frotté toute sa vie durant à toutes les expériences artistiques d'avant-garde: le design, l'architecture, le dessin, la sculpture, l’écologique. Esprit anticonformiste, il a révolutionné les formes par son imagination très libre. Il s’est révélé comme écrivain avec les centaines de chroniques écrites dans les revues et son autobiographie monumentale dont est tiré ce récit.

En 1857, dans une Angleterre victorienne patriarcale, William Morris, poète de 23 ans proche du mouvement préraphaélite, s’empare de la légende arthurienne qui connaît alors une popularité croissante. Mais, au lieu de célébrer les exploits des chevaliers, l’auteur décide de donner pour la première fois la parole à la reine Guenièvre. Reprenant l’un des épisodes les plus célèbres du mythe du Camelot durant lequel la souveraine est accusée d’adultère avec Lancelot, William Morris place Guenièvre au centre de son récit et lui laisse le champ libre pour qu’elle présente seule sa défense devant un parterre de juges : tous des chevaliers, tous des hommes. La reine développe alors ses arguments, défend son amour et montre qu’elle a aussi été contrainte dans une condition qu’elle n’a pas voulue. William Morris (1834-1896), poète, romancier, imprimeur, penseur libertaire, est l’auteur des Nouvelles de nulle part (nouvelle édition à paraître chez Libertalia en 2022). Il est considéré comme l’un des précurseurs de la pensée écologique radicale.

Nass hayatti signifie la moitié de ma vie en darija marocaine, une langue que j’ai entendue et côtoyée pendant quatre ans. Cette moitié de vie a été enrichie par des rencontres, parfois brèves et éphémères, comme notre court passage sur cette terre. Elles ont fait de moi ce que je suis et je veux leur rendre hommage à travers ce recueil de poésie. Chaque poème relate une expérience de vie, des moments à graver dans le marbre : des amours impossibles, des amours consommées, des amours consumées, des amours d’un soir, la perte d’un proche, l’arrivée d’un autre, tout type de rencontres, y compris avec moi-même dans des lieux qui nous révèlent. Ça donne des poèmes au style indéfini et évolutif avec pour point commun : les rimes. Ces poèmes, réceptacles de mes émotions, de mes vibrations, sont classés par ordre chronologique. À travers eux, je vous présente un récit de ma vie.

Un rayon de débord est un livre qui arpente la frontière mouvante entre l’intime et le vaste, le silence et le trop-plein. On y entend la rumeur d’une parole qui refuse de se laisser enfermer, une voix qui creuse, patiemment, la question de ce qui déborde : le mot, l’âme, l’amour, le cri, tout ce qui en nous insiste à franchir les limites. À travers des fragments, des méditations, des poèmes en prose, le recueil interroge cette tension vitale : comment consentir à ce qui excède, comment accueillir l’intranquillité sans s’y perdre, comment devenir cette vasque que Bernard de Clairvaux appelait de ses vœux, non pour se vider aussitôt, mais pour donner par surabondance. De la figure du facteur Cheval ramassant sa pierre fondatrice à l’injonction mystique de « devenir passage », ces pages dessinent une géographie intérieure où l’on apprend à tenir l’inachevé comme une promesse, à veiller sur ce qui déborde comme sur une source secrète. Un rayon de débord est une invitation à ne pas consentir trop vite à la clôture, à cultiver cette part de nous qui, par son excès même, nous relie à plus grand que nous.

L'histoire de Marie, de 8 à 21 ans, raconte la vie des gens au milieu du 16e siècle, à Chaalons, aujourd'hui Châlons en Champagne, une petite ville comme tant d’autres, mais sur la route des marchands et des rois, exposée aux conflits car proche des frontières Nord et Est du royaume. Dans une période de grande effervescence intellectuelle avec la remise en cause du modèle catholique par les Réformés, la diffusion des idées libérées du filtre religieux par les humanistes et l’imprimerie. Mais aussi une époque troublée par les luttes de pouvoir et les guerres. En 1560, la violence entre catholiques et protestants n’a pas encore explosé mais elle couve, inquiétante. Marie grandit dans un monde où son avenir se résume à prendre le voile ou se marier. Elle questionne Sœur Mathilde qui dirige la Maison des enfants perdus, son maître d’apprentissage l’étrange Sieur Michel, Gwendoline la guérisseuse, et ses amis. Eux n’ont pas ce teint foncé qui lui attire tant d'ennuis. Pourra-t-elle compter sur eux aux heures sombres ?

But when his good friend Sam Moreno disappears without a trace, the mission becomes more personal than he could have imagined.Torn between toeing the government line, and finding the answers he needs, Ryker realises there’s only one way to find those responsible and to punish them... His way.Readers can't get enough of Rob Sinclair's gripping thrillers:'A cracking thriller with a Reacheresque hero you can't help but root for!' – John Ryder‘Wow, what a book, I loved it!! Rob Sinclair has an innate ability to draw you in and take you on an amazing ride, the character of agent Carl Logan is so authentic and Sinclair portrays him particularly well. All the characters in this story are well developed, the plot is fast paced, intriguing and totally entertaining. I really can't recommend this book highly enough.‘ – Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‘OMG ,OMG, OMG I was bouncing off the walls when I realised Carl Logan is back with a new identity in a brand new series. After being gutted when the Enemy series ended. Just in case you didn't know I am a massive fan... lol. But Rob Sinclair has pulled out all the punches with this latest story, it is without a doubt his best book yet….. I freaking loved it.’ – Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‘I would think Rob Sinclair might rival some of the greats in his field. His writing is tight, current and gripping. He weaves easily between settings and great characters –there appear to be quite a few. And the pace is compelling. This all leads on to a most excellent ending.’– Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‘Crikey The Red Cobra opens with an action packed scene and it pretty well doesn’t let up for the rest of the novel. Short chapters with cliffhanger endings add a breathless pace so that The Red Cobra is a really exciting read. I genuinely found it heart-thumpingly exciting and the events even pervaded my dreams at night! There’s quite a bit of violence but Rob Sinclair also knows less is more so he is a master of suggestion as well as description making for an elevated pulse rate in his readers. The Red Cobra is exciting, well written and absorbing – definitely a ‘can’t put it down thriller’.

But when his good friend Sam Moreno disappears without a trace, the mission becomes more personal than he could have imagined.Torn between toeing the government line, and finding the answers he needs, Ryker realises there’s only one way to find those responsible and to punish them... His way.Readers can't get enough of Rob Sinclair's gripping thrillers:'A cracking thriller with a Reacheresque hero you can't help but root for!' – John Ryder‘Wow, what a book, I loved it!! Rob Sinclair has an innate ability to draw you in and take you on an amazing ride, the character of agent Carl Logan is so authentic and Sinclair portrays him particularly well. All the characters in this story are well developed, the plot is fast paced, intriguing and totally entertaining. I really can't recommend this book highly enough.‘ – Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‘OMG ,OMG, OMG I was bouncing off the walls when I realised Carl Logan is back with a new identity in a brand new series. After being gutted when the Enemy series ended. Just in case you didn't know I am a massive fan... lol. But Rob Sinclair has pulled out all the punches with this latest story, it is without a doubt his best book yet….. I freaking loved it.’ – Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‘I would think Rob Sinclair might rival some of the greats in his field. His writing is tight, current and gripping. He weaves easily between settings and great characters –there appear to be quite a few. And the pace is compelling. This all leads on to a most excellent ending.’– Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‘Crikey The Red Cobra opens with an action packed scene and it pretty well doesn’t let up for the rest of the novel. Short chapters with cliffhanger endings add a breathless pace so that The Red Cobra is a really exciting read. I genuinely found it heart-thumpingly exciting and the events even pervaded my dreams at night! There’s quite a bit of violence but Rob Sinclair also knows less is more so he is a master of suggestion as well as description making for an elevated pulse rate in his readers. The Red Cobra is exciting, well written and absorbing – definitely a ‘can’t put it down thriller’. I loved it.’– Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‘The Red Cobra is one fast paced, action packed, thrill of a read. It is actually screaming out to be put on the big screen.

The intense action thriller from million copy bestseller Rob Sinclair, perfect for fans of Mark Dawson.Rule number one for an agent of the secretive JIA is to follow orders, no matter what.But James Ryker has never cared much for rules. He only wants to do what is right.Assigned to join a crew of elite security personnel in Chabon, Africa, Ryker’s mission objective is clouded by politics and obfuscation, and he knows only that to protect British interests in the region, he is to infiltrate the close protection team of the government of Chabon, a country with a dark and violent past. Arriving in Chabon’s crumbling capital, Kilpassa, Ryker finds a country on the brink of civil war. A growing civilian rebellion threatens peace, with claims of atrocities committed by both sides, including the frail government run by enigmatic President Benyu - a former military general who took control of the country in a violent coup. Drawn into Benyu’s inner circle, it soon becomes clear to Ryker that in Chabon, the lines between good and bad, and right and wrong, are nearly impossible to identify.With a crisis of epic proportions unfolding before his eyes, Ryker knows one thing for sure: with or without the backing of his superiors, he must take drastic action, and quickly, or risk putting millions of innocent lives in danger.Praise for Rob Sinclair:'A cracking thriller with a Reacheresque hero you can't help but root for!' – John Ryder'A real page-turner, impossible to put down' Publishers Weekly'A must-read for fans of Lee Child and Robert Ludlum' Chelle’s Book Reviews'An adrenaline shot right to the heart' The Best Thriller Books'Action-packed, fast-paced, thrilling with many plot twists' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'This book is a wonderful read and is one you won't want to put down' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'To say the book is action-packed is an understatement - it is full of the stuff' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'Lots of action and subterfuge and the characters play off each other' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'Action-packed and incredibly thrilling' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'A real page-turner' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

En passant chez Nelson nous projette à travers deux siècles d’histoire de la Sierra Leone, symbolisés par les trajectoires d’hommes et de femmes dont les vies se sont nouées autour de la péninsule de Freetown, et sur la plage de Lumley. Le Nelson’s bar en devient un jour la figure centrale, présence et repère moral, aussi une mémoire. À travers le personnage de Nelson résonnent un puissant éclairage géopolitique : comment les sociétés s’abîment, comment elles oublient leur promesse initiale. L’Histoire n’y est jamais décorative, plutôt celle qui demeure dans les corps et les consciences. En passant chez Nelson révèle une œuvre humaniste, sans manichéisme, qui interroge la part d’éthique que nous sommes prêts à défendre quand tout vacille. Seul roman français à évoquer cette partie d’Afrique pour y déceler son message universel, cette œuvre nous marque par la prégnance des personnages qui, eux-mêmes, deviennent une mémoire.France Inter : Cela vaut toutes les leçons de géopolitique, c'est humain, c'est vraiment à lire. Site auteur : www.laurentbonnet.eu Laurent LD Bonnet est navigateur-voyageur, romancier et nouvelliste. Il publie dès 1998 des nouvelles, puis un premier roman remarqué, en 2012, Salone (Prix Senghor). Il poursuit avec Dix secondes (2015) et le dernier Ulysse (2021), formant ainsi les trois premières oeuvres d'une Tétralogie de la quête. La revue Daïmon consacre son numéro 6 (Aux évadés, 2021), à ses textes et nouvelles. L’engagé, un dialogue avec Jack London, paraît en 2022. En passant chez Nelson est le nouveau titre du roman Salone, qui reparaît en 2025 dans une version révisée pour livrer pleinement la portée universelle du propos.

Quoique né à Nice, Pierre Champollion est un véritable enfant de la montagne. Il a parcouru à ski ou à pied une grande part des Alpes françaises, suisses, autrichiennes, allemandes et italiennes, sans compter des montagnes plus lointaines, Rocheuses, Arctique canadien, Ararat. Notre auteur a amené nombre de ses proches à les admirer, à les aimer. Plus, il a mis les montagnes au cœur de sa vie professionnelle, puis scientifique : dans le monde éducatif, il n’a cessé d’œuvrer en faveur de la formation des jeunes montagnard(e)s ; en tant que chercheur, il s’est intéressé aux liens tissés entre l’éducation et la montagne. Ce faisant, il s’est profondément acculturé à la territorialité montagnarde qui est devenue sa territorialité d’élection. Dans cet ouvrage passionnant, il met en évidence, à partir de son itinéraire personnel, les différents chemins qui nous mènent aux montagnes, à toutes les montagnes. Il nous en livre, non sans humour, les accès et les contours, les valeurs et les secrets, dans une analyse subjective qu’il a voulue sans fard.

Un groupe d’étudiants d’une prestigieuse école d’ingénieurs en séminaire d’intégration décide de se lancer dans l’ascension du volcan de la Soufrière en pleine nuit. Un défi semble-t-il habituel au cours de ces voyages au cours desquels ces jeunes gens brillants se forgent une identité commune. Pourtant, au petit matin, un des étudiants est retrouvé mort en contrebas de la trace du Pas-du-Roy. Tout semble indiquer un accident. Il revient au capitaine de gendarmerie Vincent Lemerrer, fraîchement nommé en Guadeloupe, d’enquêter sur cet événement tragique, avec l’aide de la brigadière-cheffe Emmanuelle Lutin. Bien entendu les choses se révèleront plus complexes que prévu, sur cette terre déjà marquée par l’histoire, à quelques kilomètres de l’endroit où Louis Delgrès et ses compagnons d’armes se firent sauter pour échapper aux troupes du sinistre Richepance, chargé par Napoléon de rétablir l’esclavage dont l’abolition avait été déclarée quelques années plus tôt par la Révolution française.

De sales gosses pas censés atteindre l’âge adulte, sauf que moi je n’avais aucun tatouage ni piercing, rien d’indélébile ; quand je rentrais chez mes parents, de temps en temps j’enfilais ma redingote et j’allais à l’opéra avec ma mère. Ma famille c’était pas du Zola, je n’avais rien à fuir, je n’étais pas mal aimée. Mes parents ne buvaient pas, ne voulaient pas m’interner. Je me suis raccrochée aux branches à temps pour arracher un bac malgré tout, sûrement pour ne pas les décevoir. Les Bérus ont vieilli, se sont mis à chanter Mineurs en danger plutôt que Vive le feu, comme NTM a fini sur Pose ton gun après Qu’est-ce qu’on attend pour ne plus suivre les règles du jeu ? Toute fièvre se négocie finalement. » Cara Zina vit aujourd'hui à Nancy où elle est institutrice. Elle a déjà publié "Handi Gang" chez Libertalia (collection poche).

Avec la publication de L’Apostat [The Apostate, 1906], Libertalia poursuit son travail de retraduction de l’œuvre de Jack London. Dans cette nouvelle initialement publiée sous le titre Le Renégat, London dénonce le travail des enfants. Il y conte l’histoire de Johnny, 12 ans, qui s’échine à l’usine depuis son plus jeune âge pour faire vivre sa famille. Mais un matin, son corps ne répond plus. Si jeune et déjà prématurément usé, il décide de déserter l’armée du travail et de partir à la découverte du monde. Une révolte rimbaldienne teintée de naturalisme ; une nouvelle saisissante et insuffisamment connue. Jack London (1876-1916), écrivain américain, chantre des grands espaces et de la révolte.

Habituée des lieux, l’une est vieille, il serait temps de songer à mourir ; parachutée dans cette alcôve hospitalière, l’autre est jeune, il serait temps de se remettre à vivre. Dieu aurait-il son mot à dire ? La conversation s’engage dans cet huis clos, de méfiance en confidences, chacune avance à son rythme vers son issue, mais qui soutient qui ? Deux comas, deux destins distincts… Pas si sûr. Le dialogue, dont, par définition, aucun tiers n’a conscience, apporte son lot de questionnements, de taquineries, de fâcheries, de souvenirs, jusqu’à réunir ces deux femmes qui semblaient n’avoir rien en commun. Hormis l’océan, l’amour de leur vie, et… une plume.

The Complete Collection of Olaf Stapledon brings together the most visionary and philosophically ambitious works of one of the most original minds in 20th-century science fiction. This illustrated edition includes foundational classics such as Last and First Men, Star Maker, Sirius, Last Men in London, and Waking World, offering readers an unparalleled journey through time, space, and consciousness. Stapledon’s fiction is not only imaginative—it is deeply reflective, exploring themes of evolution, morality, identity, and the destiny of humanity on a cosmic scale. In Last and First Men, he envisions two billion years of human history, tracing the rise and fall of countless civilizations. Star Maker expands even further, exploring the entire arc of the universe from a metaphysical perspective. Sirius, more intimate in tone, follows a super-intelligent dog grappling with love, alienation, and the boundaries of selfhood. What makes Stapledon’s writing uniquely powerful is its blend of speculative grandeur and philosophical depth. His works influenced generations of science fiction writers, including Arthur C. Clarke, Stanisław Lem, and Isaac Asimov, and continue to challenge readers to think beyond the present moment and current form of humanity. This collection is a definitive treasury for lovers of speculative literature, ideal for those who seek not just storytelling, but a confrontation with the ultimate questions of existence. Enriched with illustrations that capture the scale and wonder of Stapledon’s vision, this edition honors a writer who redefined the boundaries of science fiction and philosophical inquiry. Contents: The Novels • Last and First Men • Last Men in London • Star Maker • Darkness and the Light • Sirius • Death into Life • The Flames • A Man Divided The Poetry • Latter-Day Psalms The Non-Fiction • A Modern Theory of Ethics • Waking World • Youth and Tomorrow • Interplanetary Man?

Death into Life by Olaf Stapledon is a profound and deeply imaginative exploration of existence beyond death, blending speculative fiction with spiritual and philosophical inquiry. First published in 1946, this short novel stands apart in Stapledon’s body of work for its intimate and metaphysical treatment of the afterlife. The story follows the soul of a British airman who is killed during World War II. Instead of ceasing to exist, his consciousness survives and gradually merges with other souls, first those of his bomber crew, and then with broader layers of collective spirit—national, human, planetary, and eventually cosmic. As the airman journeys through successive stages of being, he experiences a sweeping expansion of awareness, perception, and moral insight. Unlike many traditional portrayals of the afterlife, Death into Life rejects simplistic religious dogma. Instead, it offers a visionary narrative rooted in the evolution of consciousness and the interconnectedness of all life. Stapledon uses this speculative framework to meditate on war, love, sacrifice, unity, and the soul’s longing for ultimate meaning. A contemplative and moving work, Death into Life is both philosophical allegory and a unique piece of spiritual science fiction. It showcases Stapledon’s remarkable ability to weave cosmic vision with personal introspection, inviting readers to consider the nature of life, death, and what might lie beyond. It is a lesser-known but deeply rewarding book in Stapledon’s remarkable canon.

Star Maker by Olaf Stapledon is a visionary work of speculative fiction that transcends traditional science fiction to become a profound philosophical and cosmic exploration of existence. First published in 1937, this groundbreaking novel follows an unnamed narrator who embarks on a journey of the mind through space, time, and consciousness in search of the ultimate creator—the mysterious “Star Maker.” Beginning with the narrator’s departure from Earth, the story quickly expands into a vast survey of countless civilizations, alien worlds, and cosmic epochs. Stapledon introduces readers to entire galactic cultures, collective intelligences, and evolving species that rise, flourish, and fall across billions of years. Each encounter reveals new forms of life, ethics, and spirituality, challenging human-centered views of intelligence and progress. At the heart of the novel lies the search for meaning in an indifferent universe. The narrator eventually confronts the Star Maker—a godlike force that creates and destroys universes in an eternal cycle of experimentation and detachment. The encounter raises profound questions about creativity, suffering, and the nature of divine intention. With its immense scope, bold imagination, and philosophical ambition, Star Maker is considered one of the most influential works in science fiction literature. It inspired writers such as Arthur C. Clarke and C.S. Lewis and remains a touchstone for readers interested in cosmic perspectives and metaphysical inquiry. A breathtaking blend of fiction and philosophical speculation, Star Maker invites us to contemplate our place in the infinite.

The Complete Collection of Doctor Syn gathers all seven thrilling novels in the legendary swashbuckling saga by Russell Thorndike, now presented in a beautifully illustrated edition. This classic series follows the mysterious and daring exploits of Doctor Christopher Syn, a quiet country parson with a dangerous secret: he once ruled the seas as the infamous pirate Captain Clegg. From the windswept coasts of Kent to the treacherous high seas, Doctor Syn’s adventures span danger, disguise, and double lives. In Doctor Syn on the High Seas, we witness his transformation from scholar to pirate; in Doctor Syn Returns, he resumes his life in Dymchurch under the cover of respectability, leading a covert smuggling ring. Each novel builds on his legend, blending action, wit, and Gothic intrigue. In The Further Adventures of Doctor Syn and The Shadow of Doctor Syn, the tension between Syn’s heroic and outlaw personas deepens, as enemies close in and his moral compass is tested. The other novels in the collection explore themes of loyalty, justice, and personal redemption through vivid storytelling and high drama. Thorndike’s gripping prose and atmospheric settings evoke the 18th-century world with cinematic flair. His iconic character—part Robin Hood, part vigilante—has captivated readers for over a century and inspired stage and screen adaptations. This complete edition is an essential treasure for fans of historical adventure, pirate lore, and complex heroes. Whether rediscovering the series or encountering it for the first time, readers will be swept into the unforgettable world of Doctor Syn.

The Devouring Fire by Lord Gorell is a gripping and atmospheric mystery that unfolds within the genteel yet secretive world of English country life. With elegant prose and a masterful sense of pacing, Gorell crafts a tale where refinement and menace exist side by side. Set against the backdrop of a quiet rural estate, the story begins with what appears to be an accidental fire—but as clues emerge, it becomes clear that something far more sinister is at work. Beneath the surface of polite society, long-held grudges, hidden romances, and unspoken rivalries smolder like embers ready to ignite. When a death is discovered among the ashes, suspicion spreads quickly, and the hunt for the truth begins. Gorell’s characters are finely drawn and psychologically complex. His protagonist—an astute observer of human nature—guides readers through a labyrinth of motives and secrets with quiet intensity. The countryside, rendered in vivid detail, becomes almost a character in itself, enhancing the story’s sense of isolation and slow-burning tension. This illustrated edition brings added richness to the reading experience, with artwork that evokes the mood and era of the narrative. Elegant and suspenseful, The Devouring Fire is a hidden gem of Golden Age mystery fiction. Perfect for fans of classic British crime novels, this novel exemplifies Lord Gorell’s skill at blending intellect, atmosphere, and suspense into an unforgettable reading experience.
