Paperback. Condición: Good. When CSI investigator Claire Watson meets John Rock on holiday, the attraction is instant--but so is the feeling that they've met before. Now uneasy memories from a decade earlier are beginning to surface for Claire: memories of a body found at the bottom of a cliff in Northern Ireland, a possible suicide or, perhaps, a murder. Now, ten years later in the South of France, she has once again encountered the dead woman's husband, the man Claire and her colleagues had believed was the killer, though they could never pin the crime on him. But did John's wife really die by his hands? And if he is a cold-blooded murderer, why is Claire so violently attracted to him.…

Paperback. Condición: Fair. A powerful history of Jewish art collectors in France, and how an embrace of art and beauty was met with hatred and destruction  ?The depths of French anti-Semitism is the stunning subject that Mr. McAuley lays bare. . . . [He] tells this haunting saga in eloquent detail. As French anti-Semitism rises once again today, the effect is nothing less than chilling.??Diane Cole, Wall Street Journal  ?Elegantly written and deeply moving. . . . [A] haunting book.??David Bell, New York Review of Books   In the dramatic years between 1870 and the end of World War II, a number of prominent French Jews?pillars of an embattled community?invested their fortunes in France?s cultural artifacts, sacrificed their sons to the country?s army, and were ultimately rewarded by seeing their collections plundered and their families deported to Nazi concentration camps.   In this rich, evocative account, James McAuley explores the central role that art and material culture played in the assimilation and identity of French Jews in the fin de siècle. Weaving together narratives of various figures, some familiar from the works of Marcel Proust and the diaries of Jules and Edmond Goncourt?the Camondos, the Rothschilds, the Ephrussis, the Cahens d?Anvers?McAuley shows how Jewish art collectors contended with a powerful strain of anti-Semitism: they were often accused of ?invading? France?s cultural patrimony. The collections these families left behind?many ultimately donated to the French state?were their response, tragic attempts to celebrate a nation that later betrayed them. …

Paperback. Condición: Good. Nicholas Hyde, a volunteer charity worker in Africa, is part of a team which is ambushed by small, ape-like creatures - pale, fierce and preternaturally strong - who slaughter most of the group in a matter of minutes. 'Diable blanc' the team's government observer calls them - 'white devils' - but after the rescue he falls in with the official story and claims instead he saw only rebel troops in body paint. The cover-up seems to originate from Obligate, the company that effectively owns the Congo. Shell-shocked and angry, Nicholas refuses to cooperate. He knows what he saw, and he will tell the truth. And that's when people around him start to die. On his quest to find out the truth, NIck journeys into the heart of darkness of C21st century Africa - the Dead Zone. There, he will discover a reality almost too horrifying to contemplate.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. The first Turing gate, a mere hundred nanometers across, is forced open in 1963, at the high-energy physics laboratory in Brookhaven; three years later, the first man to travel to an alternate history takes his momentous step, and an empire is born. For fifteen years, the version of America that calls itself the Real has used its Turing gate technology to infiltrate a wide variety of alternate Americas, rebuilding those wrecked by nuclear war, fomenting revolutions and waging war to free others from communist or fascist rule, and establishing a Pan-American Alliance. Then a nation exhausted by endless strife elects Jimmy Carter on a reconstruction and reconciliation ticket, the CIA's covert operations are wound down, and the Real begins to wage peace rather than war. But some people believe that it is the Real's manifest destiny to impose its idea of truth, justice, and the American way in every known alternate history, and they're prepared to do anything to reverse Carter's peacenik doctrine. When Adam Stone, a former CIA field officer, one of the Cowboy Angels who worked covertly in other histories, volunteers for reactivation after an old friend begins a killing spree across alternate histories, his mission uncovers a startling secret about the operation of the Turing gates and leads him into the heart of an audicious conspiracy to change the history of every America in the multiverse--including our own. This book is a vivid, helter-skelter thriller in which one version of America discovers the true cost of empire building, and one man discovers that an individual really can make a difference.…
