Mentor
« Un thriller dans la veine de American Psycho. »Kirkus Reviews« Hitchcock lui-même n'aurait pu inventer une histoire aussi insidieuse. »Vincent Zandri, New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Tout semble sourire à Kyle Broder, jeune éditeur dans une grande maison d'édition new-yorkaise. Lorsque Kyle est contacté par William Lansing, son professeur à l'université, il est ravi et décide de présenter son mentor à sa petite amie, Jamie. À cette occasion, William propose à Kyle le manuscrit d'un texte sur lequel il travaille depuis de nombreuses années.
D'abord enchanté à l'idée de le publier, Kyle est rapidement choqué par la perversité du récit, qu'il abandonne après en avoir lu quelques pages. Mais lorsqu'il en refuse la publication, William entreprend de ruiner la vie de son éditeur, s'en prenant successivement à son chat, sa copine et son auteur vedette.
Kyle est alors obligé de se replonger dans le roman de William, Devil's Hopyard, et découvre que le livre fait sinistrement écho à l'histoire de la disparition non élucidée de sa petite amie à l'université. Et qu'il ressemble cruellement à la confession d'un criminel.
Un thriller redoutablement efficace, un terrifiant jeu de piste littéraire entre American Psycho et Le Silence des Agneaux

Mémoires secrets d’un valet de coeur
Product Description
Crimes, Belle Époque, médailles miraculeuses et travestis : une équation gagnante. Paris, 1910. La ravissante Dédée, née André vingt ans plus tôt, officie dans le très huppé et fort discret hôtel Sélignac, claque pour messieurs qui apprécient les travestis. Tout roule pour ces « dames », à l'abri des violences du monde extérieur grâce à des protections en haut lieu, jusqu'au jour où l'on découvre l'une d'elles la gorge tranchée, émasculée. Seul indice : une médaille miraculeuse plantée dans son corps. Incarnation froufroutante de la Parisienne, Dédée, qui se morfond dans son écrin de velours rouge, saute sur l'occasion. Grâce au manuel du professeur Lacassagne et à la lecture assidue de revues spécialisées, elle a quelques notions de police scientifique, assez pour se lancer dans l'investigation ! Mais la tâche se complique quand d'autres meurtres sont commis en divers lieux de la ville, selon le même mode opératoire sanglant et fétichiste. Que ferait-elle sans le soutien du docteur Féclas, un remarquable médecin légiste, magicien à ses heures perdues, amant de Nijinski et ami de Marcel Proust ?Six décennies plus tard, Dédée a quatre-vingt-deux ans, elle écoute Sardou et se souvient de sa belle époque. Dans ces mémoires, le récit de ses exploits d'enquêteur se double de l'évocation savoureuse d'un monde révolu : une touche de Grand-Guignol, beaucoup de gouaille et un brin de nostalgie.

The Piano Teacher
Erika Kohut teaches piano at the Vienna Conservatory by day. By night she trawls the city's porn shows while her mother, whom she loves and hates in equal measure, waits up for her. Into this emotional pressure-cooker bounds music student and ladies' man Walter Klemmer.
With Walter as her student, Erika spirals out of control, consumed by the ecstasy of self-destruction. A haunting tale of morbid voyeurism and masochism, The Piano Teacher, first published in 1983, is Elfreide Jelinek's Masterpiece.
Jelinek was awarded the Nobel Prize For Literature in 2004 for her 'musical flow of voices and counter-voices in novels and plays that, with extraordinary linguistic zeal, reveal the absurdity of society's clichés and their subjugating power.
The Piano Teacher was adapted into an internationally successful film by Michael Haneke, which won three major prizes at Cannes, including the Grand Prize and Best Actress for Isabelle Huppert.

David Copperfield
'Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show' Dickens's epic, exuberant novel is one of the greatest coming-of-age stories in literature. It chronicles David Copperfield's extraordinary journey through life, as he encounters villains, saviours, eccentrics and grotesques, including the wicked Mr Murdstone, stout-hearted Peggotty, formidable Betsey Trotwood, impecunious Micawber and odious Uriah Heep. Dickens's great Bildungsroman (based, in part, on his own boyhood, and which he described as a 'favourite child') is a work filled with life, both comic and tragic. The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

Atalanta
The heroic story of the only female Argonaut
From the beloved, bestselling author of Elektra and Ariadne, a reimagining of the myth of Atalanta, a fierce huntress raised by bears and the only woman in the world’s most famous band of heroes, the Argonauts
Princess, Warrior, Lover, Hero
When Princess Atalanta is born, a daughter rather than the son her parents hoped for, she is left on a mountainside to die. But even then, she is a survivor. Raised by a mother bear under the protective eye of the goddess Artemis, Atalanta grows up wild and free, with just one condition: if she marries, Artemis warns, it will be her undoing.
Although she loves her beautiful forest home, Atalanta yearns for adventure. When Artemis offers her the chance to fight in her name alongside the Argonauts, the fiercest band of warriors the world has ever seen, Atalanta seizes it. The Argonauts' quest for the Golden Fleece is filled with impossible challenges, but Atalanta proves herself equal to the men she fights alongside. As she is swept into a passionate affair, in defiance of Artemis's warning, she begins to question the goddess's true intentions. Can Atalanta carve out her own legendary place in a world of men, while staying true to her heart?
Full of joy, passion, and adventure, Atalanta is the story of a woman who refuses to be contained. Jennifer Saint places Atalanta in the pantheon of the greatest heroes in Greek mythology, where she belongs.
