Burning Man
En Anglais – Peter Hale is a young attorney with a lot to prove. Crossing his father, one of Portland’s most powerful lawyers, was a costly mistake. Now, cut loose from his job and from his inheritance, Peter’s landed in the public defender’s office of a small Oregon town — and in the middle of a high-profile case that could make or break his career. His mentally retarded client, accused of the savage murder of a college coed, faces the death penalty. And Peter faces a choice — between the pursuit of headlines and the pursuit of truth, between the compulsion to save himself and the courage to save his client — in a devastating trial by fire.

The messengers
Nick Bunick was confronted by angels. It will change your life forever… Prominent and successful Portland, Oregon, businessman Nick Bunick never considered himself a particularly religious person. But he knew in his heart that he had experienced something extraordinary in a past life. Anxious to share it, but convinced that his story would seem unbelievable to most people, he kept it to himself. Then, two years ago, angels intervened. Nick came to understand that angels were prevailing upon him to tell his story — a story that began 2,000 years ago when he lived as Paul the Apostle, and walked alongside Jesus. An inspiring chronicle of the angelic visitations that led Nick to finally share his memories, The Messengers also illuminates the events of his life as Paul. Rich with the wisdom and awe borne of Nick’s incredible encounter with Jesus, this magnificent book truly signals a return to the Age of Miracles.
Deux femmes
Une jeune femme est retrouvée assassinée dans une chambre d’hôtel de Nice, sans papiers, sans passé, sans rien… Une autre femme, l’épouse d’un procureur adjoint de la République, s’amuse à mener l’enquête. Ne lui faut-il pas tromper son ennui, sinon tromper son mari ? Entre l’insolente jeunesse d’Olga et la distinction vernissée de Blandine, il y a Jean-Louis, scénariste, romancier, célibataire par indolence plus que par conviction, qui se laisse trop facilement séduire par l’une puis par l’autre. Les femmes ne mènent-elles pas toujours le bal, ou l’aventure ? Après Charles et Camille et La Comédie de Terracina. Frédéric Vitoux nous offre un roman policier sur fond de mafia russe et de faux tableaux, une comédie sentimentale où un homme peut en cacher un autre, une chronique de l’été 95 dans sa torpeur estivale. La Provence, l’île Saint-Louis, l’Italie sont autant de décors chers à l’auteur, qui invitent à un vrai suspense et à cette légère ébriété romanesque sans laquelle il n’est pas de bonheur littéraire.
