Book Description
Chief Superintendent Philippe Maigret – the most decorated police officer in Paris - has been given an undercover assignment by his friend, Christophe Saint-Valéry, the Minister of Police. He is to find an ancient grimoire – an 18th Century book about witchcraft – stolen from the Aix-en-Provence reference library some months ago. What a waste of the man’s talent and courage, we might think. But that would be wrong! Someone is using the grimoire for a specific purpose, and animals are being killed in weird ways. How long before the perpetrator takes an even bigger step? Maigret and his English wife Meg have barely left Paris when they make a gruesome discovery, or rather their cat does, which changes everything: he must cooperate with the Gendarmerie: they are in their territory now. And that seriously upsets his professional balance. Is a month in a lovely cottage in Provence during springtime – all expenses paid - really worth this amount of drama? However, more is to come. Shortly after they settle themselves in Merion, a quaint little village, Meg makes a further discovery during Philippe’s absence. And that really sets the cat amongst the pigeons!

Book Description
Upton Sinclair meets Joseph Heller, the funniest book since A Confederacy of Dunces. Austin's novel is an unlikely mixture of expose, social satire and high comedy that somehow, brilliantly, succeeds. It will make you laugh, cry, and want to punch out your boss. Don't read this book at work, but by all means read it. Charles Dodt, Author, The Night Boy *** Do you remember the best time of your life? For Chuck Farlowe, his time came and went, one April day back in 1973. His "A" game, unfortunately, was left in the dugout that day. Cut to 1998. His son, Danny, is at the crossroads of his life. A young man in need of answers, he finds them in the form of a long-buried manuscript written by his father back in 1973. Suddenly he finds himself at a strange place and time the Hotchkis Department Store in downtown Oakland, circa 1970. Danny is introduced to both the store manager, Matt Farber, and the store owner, Isaac Benjamin Stern. Soon a union election begins to loom ominously. Chuck manages to find a kindred spirit in Lee Kroeber, and eventually, after a struggle, with Cooper Smith, whose own bitterness and alienation over store racism threatens to change the entire store dynamic. When Wayne Justice joins the Hotchkis fold in 1971, soon the era of poker and male bonding begin. Rediscovering Mrs. Murphy is all about fighting through the pain of the past and rediscovering what really matters.

Book Description
This is an eclectic and thought-provoking book, best defined as a modern day fairy tale in which the dreams and lives of four people are inexorably linked together across time, bound by love, friendship, heartache and fateDuring the London Blitz a young woman, Iris, has a vision while reading Tarot cards of two lovers in great peril and knows it will be her destiny to help them. Meanwhile Robert, a wounded and repressed Battle of Britain pilot, dreams of happiness and of a love he believes he can never have.In another time, Charlie, a troubled little boy with amazing blue-green eyes growing up in the repressed suburbs of 1950s South London, dreams of the number ‘80’ and knows only that it means something terrible and evil. Elsewhere, a dark, disturbed man dreams repeatedly of Charlie and knows it is his destiny to kill him.This time-travelling tale moves between present day Dulwich, World War Two London, the gay bars of the 1970s, Eva Peron’s Buenos Aires and Glastonbury Tor in 1989. It is a tale of great love and loss, destiny, tragedy, spiritual transformation and self-acceptance. It asks questions about how much of our lives are destined and how much can be altered and about what the effects of unintentional time travel would be on very ordinary people. This book can be interpreted on many different levels. On one it is a murder-mystery, on another an allegorical tale of spiritual transformation, on a third, a complex tale of two gay men’s individual journeys into adulthood and on a fourth, a simple and beautiful love story.

This book had to be written to finish Charlie and Tadpoles lives as they lived them. This book tells it to the end and I m sorry to see them go, we had a lot of fun together. I fall in love with each and every one of my characters and these in this book were no exception. I even loved the old master even if he was ruthless; he played a good role in my mind.
