Carver's Truth (Carver & Quint #2)
by Nick RennisonLondon, 1871. Traveler, photographer and sometime intelligencer Adam Carver is asked by a friend from the Foreign Office to find Dolly Delaney, a West End dancing girl who has been involved with a diplomat and since disappeared. What seems a straightforward case soon proves otherwise. Carver is discomfited to come across alluring daguerreotypes of Dolly and he seeks answers from one of her fellow dancers, the feisty Hetty Gallant. Soon, Carver and his stoical manservant Quint are drawn north to York, where they are implicated in a shocking death. The pair flee across the Channel, but soon encounter new treacheries in Berlin, the imposing and dangerous capital of the nascent Germany.
Casa casta: La novela de la diplomacia Argentina
by Jorge AsisLa novela de la diplomacia argentina. Esta sensacional novela es el resultado de una historia que maduró durante más de veinte años. Jorge Asís la comenzó a bocetar en 1992, cuando estuvo al frente de una organización internacional de características insólitas, a la que él denomina la "NADA", y la terminó de escribir justamente en París, en 2012, el lugar donde transcurren los hechos. Casa Casta es una novela sobre la voracidad de la política argentina. Una historia de enredos sobre las internas e intrigas palaciegas de la diplomacia, el mundo del lobby por conseguir un puesto en algún consulado. "¿Qué querés? ¿Una embajada? ¿Te conformás con tan poco?", le dice el embajador a un subsecretario con notorias e irremediables aspiraciones. La caricatura y la descripción brutal muestran el mundo de la diplomacia argentina en forma cruda, como nunca antes se contó, y como sólo Jorge Asís puede hacerlo.
Casablanca Story (Global African Voices)
by In Koli BofaneOne morning the beautiful Ichrak is found murdered in a street in Casablanca. All the men feared her as much as they desired her . . . . In a city buffeted by the Chergui, a violent wind emanating from the Sahara, the investigation becomes a prism through which a group portrait of a working-class district emerges.In Casablanca Story, In Koli Jean Bofane trains his razor-sharp observations of a bitter reality and his mordant humor on corruption among the powerful, shady property deals, and the vulnerable situation of migrants and male sexual desire, and he succeeds in transforming a desperate contemporary reality into engrossing and entertaining fiction.Following on from Congo Inc., In Koli Jean Bofane shifts his geographical focus to outline a vision that encompasses both north and sub-Saharan Africans: Africa is moving forward and is the equal of the other continents or, to put it another way, Africa is no better than they are.
Casanegra: A Tennyson Hardwick Story (Tennyson Hardwick Ser.)
by Steven Barnes Tananarive Due Blair UnderwoodCasanegra follows the adventures of Tennyson Hardwick, a gorgeous, sexy actor and former gigolo, living on the fringes of the good life in Hollywood. This story, which chronicles the redemption of a prodigal son, combines the glamour of Hollywood with the seedy hopelessness of the inner city. In this hot and steamy mystery, Tennyson struggles to hang on to his acting career and redeem his sex-for-pay history, which estranged him from his family -- especially his father, a decorated LAPD captain who raised Tennyson to call him "sir." Now, in the wake of his father's sudden stroke, Tennyson has to save himself from taking the fall for the first murder of a female rapper. In the process he discovers his hidden talents -- the hard way.

But nothing is ever that simple for Elena Jarvis: someone is after her too?
Casanova in Bolzano
by Sándor MáraiAnother rediscovered masterpiece from the Hungarian novelist whose Embers became an international bestseller—a sensuous, suspenseful, aphoristic novel about the world’s most notorious seducer and the encounter that changes him forever. In 1756 Giacomo Casanova escapes from a Venetian prison and resurfaces in the Italian village of Bolzano. Here he receives an unwelcome visitor: the aging but still fearsome Duke of Parma, who years before had defeated Casanova in a duel over a ravishing girl named Francesca and spared his life on condition that he never see her again. Now the duke has taken Francesca as his wife—and intercepted a love letter from her to his old rival. Rather than kill Casanova on the spot, he makes him a startling offer, one that is logical, perverse, and irresistible. Turning an historical episode into a dazzling fictional exploration of the clasp of desire and death, Casanova in Bolzano is further proof that Sándor Márai is one of the most distinctive voices of the twentieth century.
