PARIS SOUS LA COUPE DE MAÎTRES CHANTEURSPendant vingt-cinq ans, trois bourgeois sans scrupules - un médecin, un avocat et le directeur d'une agence de domestiques - ont patiemment recueilli des informations compromettantes sur la bonne société parisienne. Ils peuvent enfin mettre leur plan à exécution.Quelles meilleures professions que les leurs pour connaître les secrets et les turpitudes de la population ? Les gens sont indiscrets, médisants ; ils apportent d'eux-mêmes les brins de la corde qui les enchaîne peu à peu, tels des esclaves, à leurs maîtres chanteurs.Le chantage échafaudé par le trio infernal, d'une audace et d'une envergure inouïes, secoue tout Paris.Qui, sinon Monsieur Lecoq, sera capable de déjouer les rouages de cette formidable machination ?"J'adore Gaboriau. C'est un bonhomme immense. Le père, le précurseur du roman policier […] Tout Gaboriau est merveilleusement fait". Joseph Kessel, 1947.

UN SCÉNARIO À MULTIPLES REBONDISSEMENTS, QUI S'APPARENTE À CELUI D'UN EXCELLENT THRILLER.Invraisemblable ! 350 000 francs, une véritable fortune, ont été volés sans effraction dans le coffre de la banque Fauvel. Seuls le banquier et le caissier principal, Prosper Bertomy, jeune homme ami de la famille, en possédaient la clef.Ce dernier a beau clamer son innocence, il est rapidement accusé du vol, d'autant que l'on découvre qu'il mène grand train et entretient une maîtresse dispendieuse.Mais Monsieur Lecoq, le désormais célèbre enquêteur de la sûreté, est convaincu que les choses ne sont pas passées ainsi.Déguisements, filatures, noms d'emprunt : Monsieur Lecoq devra déployer des trésors d'ingéniosité et de sagacité pour résoudre cette incroyable énigme. Car c'est bien loin, dans des drames familiaux qui semblaient pourtant révolus, qu'il faut aller chercher l'explication de ce forfait, qui n'est pas qu'un simple vol.« Gaboriau est le père de toute la littérature détective actuelle » André Gide

I hear screams in my head. I see blood on my hands. When I look in the mirror I see a stranger. How is it that I can remember bits and pieces of my life, but nothing of any importance and nothing that makes any sense? Everything is twisted and nothing is right. I’m choking with every breath I take, suffocating on the unknown. Two days ago, everything changed. Two days ago, the people I should trust the most became strangers in my convoluted head. The dreams I have can’t be real. The fleeting memories that whisper through my mind are scary and wrong…they have to be. If they aren’t, I have something much worse to fear than my fractured mind. I need to find out the truth, even if it destroys me. I've been told my name is Ravenna Duskin. I’m eighteen years old and I live in a prison.

Allen Drury has penetrated the world’s stormiest political battleground—the smoke-filled committee rooms of the United States Senate—to reveal the bitter conflicts set in motion when the President calls upon the Senate to confirm his controversial choice for Secretary of State. This novel is a true epic showing in fascinating detail the minds and motives of the statesmen, the opportunists, the idealists. From a Senate old-timer’s wily maneuvers, a vicious demagogue’s blistering smear campaign, the ugly personal jealousies that turn a highly qualified candidate into a public spectacle, to the tragic martyrdom of a presidential aspirant who refuses to sacrifice his principles for his career—never has there been a more revealing picture of Washington’s intricate political, diplomatic, and social worlds. Advise and Consent is a timeless story with clear echoes of today’s headlines.
