The rabbi
En Anglais – Michael Kind was a rabbi, but he was also a man. A man who couldn’t help that his heart led him to Leslie, a beautiful minister’s daughter. Defying parents and teachers, they dare to love one another and build a life together, in this sweeping drama of love and identity, compassion and crueltly, and a complicated world that will not accept their decisions …. “A rewarding reading experience.” LOS ANGELES TIMES

The cereal murders
Thanks to her recent adventures in Dying for Chocolate, Goldy Bear, the premier caterer of Aspen Meadow, Colorado, is no stranger to violence — or sudden death. But when she agrees to cater the first College Advisory Dinner for Seniors and Parents at the exclusive Elk Park Preparatory School, the last thing she expects to find at the end of the evening is the battered body of the school valedictorian. Who could have killed Keith Andrews, and why? Goldy’s hungry for some answers — and not just because she found the corpse. Her young son, Arch, a student at Elk Park Prep, has become a target for some not-so-funny pranks, while her eighteen-year-old live-in helper, Julian, has become a prime suspect in the Andrews boy’s murder. As her investigation intensifies, Goldy’s anxiety level rises faster than homemade donuts. . .as she turns up evidence that suggests that Keith knew more than enough to blow the lid off some very unscholarly secrets. And then, as her search rattles one skeleton too many, Goldy learns a crucial fact: a little knowledge about a killer can be a deadly thing.

Enquête sur les ripoux de la côte
Derrière sa riante façade méditerranéenne, la paisible Provence, dont la culture, l’histoire, la population ne devraient inspirer que sympathie, dessine une sorte de triangle des Bermudes qui aspire les embrouilles dans un siphon maléfique où la corruption impose sa loi. Sommets du triangle maudit, trois pôles urbains paraissent rivaliser dans la course à l’enrichissement de multiples prévaricateurs: à l’ouest, Marseille, métropole enclavée, prisonnière de ses mythes, de sa mauvaise réputation; au sud, Toulon, avec sa ville basse dénommée le “petit Chicago”, claquemurée entre rade et collines brûlées; à l’est, Nice la belle, ses vitrines et sa gestion latine à l’ancienne, dispensatrice de menus privilèges: son ex-maire héréditaire, Jacques Médecin, arrêté dans son asile urugayen, affronte en 1994 l’humiliation d’une extradition pour détournement de fonds publics.
Jonathan Livingston Seagull, a story
En anglais – This is a story for people who follow their hearts and make their own rules…people who get special pleasure out of doing something well, even if only for themselves…people who know there’s more to this living than meets the eye: they’ll be right there with Jonathan, flying higher and faster than ever they dreamed. Jonathan Livingston Seagull is no ordinary bird. He believes it is every gull’s right to fly, to reach the ultimate freedom of challenge and discovery, finding his greatest reward in teaching younger gulls the joy of flight and the power of dreams. The special 20th anniversary release of this spiritual classic!
