Sinopse

In "The Adventures of Ars√®ne Lupin," Maurice Leblanc introduces readers to the charming and cunning gentleman thief, Ars√®ne Lupin, who deftly navigates the criminal underbelly of early 20th-century France. This collection of short stories is characterized by its witty narrative style and clever twists, weaving elements of detective fiction with a playful subversion of the genre's conventions. Leblanc's writing not only captures the elegance and decadence of the Belle √âpoque but also aspires to explore themes of social class and morality, positioning Lupin as both a whimsical anti-hero and a cunning critique of bourgeois values. Maurice Leblanc, a French novelist born in 1864, was profoundly influenced by the literary environment of his time, including the rise of the detective story pioneered by Arthur Conan Doyle. His experiences as a journalist and writer informed his ability to craft suspenseful narratives that entertain while also commenting on contemporary society. Lupin'Äôs character, inspired by a longing for adventure and a fascination with crime and authority, reflects Leblanc's own critiques of the world around him. For readers who cherish stories that blend intrigue with humor, "The Adventures of Ars√®ne Lupin" is an essential addition to their literary repertoire. With its engaging plots and a charismatic protagonist, this book invites exploration into the art of deception and the allure of crime, making it a timeless classic in the genre of crime fiction.

    Former LAPD detective Mike Travis returns in a novel of sex, drugs, rock and roll—and murder—from the award-winning author of Roadhouse Blues. 
     
     
      
    The mystery has fascinated the music industry since 1977—the year when some tapes went missing from the Stone Blossoms' final recording session for one of the most anticipated rock albums of all time. The band's charismatic leader committed suicide on the same day. 
     
     
      
    Retired cop Mike Travis learns about the puzzling history in the worst way possible. After sailing from Catalina to his family's old beach house in Kona, Hawaii, he discovers there's been a bloodbath. Five victims have been murdered, including his childhood friend's wife and a former Stone Blossoms guitarist, Danny Webb. And when his friend is suspected of going on a jealous rampage, it's up to Travis to prove his innocence. 
     
      
      
    Turns out Webb was involved in a multi-million-dollar deal—providing he could produce the lost tapes. Travis knows just how toxic greed can be, but even he's not prepared for the violence to come . . . and just how close to home it will hit.

    “Combines the soothing sleuthing of Murder, She Wrote with the humble charm of All Creatures Great and Small.” — Publishers Weekly STARRED review
    		 
    For readers of The Thursday Murder Club comes a lighthearted mystery with an incredible sense of place
    		 
    It’s springtime in rural Manitoba, and the snow has finally left the exotic animal farm when an ostrich finds and swallows a shiny object. (Because this is what ostriches do.) Cue veterinarian and amateur sleuth Dr. Peter Bannerman, who surgically removes the object, which looks like an ancient Viking artifact. Soon after, people around are horrified by a series of animal mutilations. This sets Peter, and his talented sniffer dog, Pippin, on the hunt for answers. Peter begins to suspect a link between the Viking artifact, the mutilations, and a shadowy group of white supremacists on the internet.
    		 
    Before long Peter and Pippin are in over their heads, and the only way for them to get out alive will be to unmask the mastermind before they end up among their victims.

    Across an empty laneway in Paris, through my hotel window, 
     
     
     
    He saw me first. 
     
     
     
    I stopped undressing . . . but only for a moment. The next night, he was waiting for me. He sat there in his expensive suit and watched. No participation. My only acknowledgement was the look of lust in his eyes. 
     
     
     
    It continued until the night before I left, when I found a card under my door. No words. Just a number. So, I texted him. I'd never done anything like it before. It felt so dirty and wrong, but at the same time, I felt alive. 
     
     
     
    He was much older than me, so intimidating and sexy. He made me feel things no man ever has. I was under his spell. 
     
     
     
    The last thing I expected was to ever see him again. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
