The virgin and the fool
En Anglais – Ukraine! The name of the country means on the edge! Living there has always been
hard. Now it’s highly dangerous too. When ex-university lecturer Tom Fielding goes on the run with Clive Ponsonby of MI6 – the man who put him in Longfield Open Prison for eight years – he has only hours in which to save several lives. Ponsonby’s former agent, Nosarenko, is now President of the the Ukraine. He is determined to silence Tom. Why? Because he was the sole witness of a gruesome murder in the 1980s which could destroy his political career.
Clive Ponsonby wants the half-million dollars that went missing during Tom’s mission in Russia.

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.
Un antisémitisme ordinaire
Un siècle et demi après l'émancipation des Juifs par la Révolution française, le régime de Vichy promulguait une législation qui faisait d'eux des parias dans leur patrie. En présence de ce droit antisémite, il importe de savoir ce que fut l'attitude de l'administration, des juridictions et des milieux professionnels concernés. S'agissant du Barreau, ce livre, fruit de recherches dans les archives professionnelles et judiciaires, retrace comment, au-delà des réactions individuelles, l'émergence d'un antisémitisme érigé en règle ordinaire de la société française ne suscita ni refus de principe, ni rejet massif, ni protestation collective.
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.
