Paperback. Condition: Good. A twisting new thriller from the author of The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair In the summer of 1994, the quiet seaside town of Orphea reels from the discovery of four murders. Two young police officers, Jesse Rosenberg and Derek Scott crack the case and identify the killer. Then, twenty years later and just as he is on the point of taking early retirement, Rosenberg is approached by Stephanie Mailer, a journalist who believes he made a mistake back in 1994 and that the real murderer is still out there, perhaps ready to strike again. But before she can give any more details, Stephanie Mailer mysteriously disappears, and Rosenberg and Scott are forced to confront the possibility that her suspicions might have been proved true. What happened to Stephanie Mailer? What did she know? And what really happened in Orphea all those years ago? Translated from the French by Howard Curtis.

It is the end of August and the long summer holidays are drawing to a close. Seventeen-year-old Leonard is on a camping holiday with his family in the South of France. Awkward and ill at ease, he is an outsider who creeps away from parties unnoticed after a couple of drinks. On the final Friday of the trip, unable to sleep, Leonard goes for a walk and sees one of the boys from the campsite, Oscar, hanging from the rope of a playground swing. Leonard watches as the rope slowly strangles Oscar. Then, unable to think straight, he buries the body in the sand, and returns to his tent. The next day is the hottest in seventeen years. Disoriented by the oppressive heat, and distracted by his desire for a girl named Luce, Leonard spends the ensuing hours trying not to unravel. A literary sensation in France, Heatwave is an unsettling and evocative novel that examines our darkest impulses.Translated by Sam Taylor, translator of Lullaby by Leila Slimani, The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair by Joel Dicker and HHhH by Laurent BinetPRAISE FOR HEATWAVE: "This is a searingly vivid novel that depicts the torments of adolescence in a sensual, carnal way. But it is also a profound meditation on the mystery of evil, our deadly urges, and the savagery that lies deep within each of us. I loved the writing, which is spare but highly evocative, and I admired the way that the author used the enclosed world of the campsite to fuel the claustrophobic tension that mounts throughout."

MAS DE 9.000.000 DE LECTORES SON #AdictosaDicker Ganador del Premio Goncourt des Lyceens, del Gran Premio de Novela de la Academia Francesa, del Premio Lire, del Premio Que Leer y del Premio San Clemente A los diecinueve anos Joel Dicker se presento a un concurso literario juvenil con su relato largo El tigre. Mas tarde, la presidenta del jurado le confesaria que lo habian desestimado porque no parecia creible que una persona tan joven lo hubiera escrito. Ocho anos despues, Dicker obtuvo el Gran Premio de la Academia Francesa y el Premio Goncourt des Lyceens con La verdad sobre el caso Harry Quebert, que se convirtio en un fenomeno literario. En este primer gran relato, deudor de sus admirados clasicos rusos y anglosajones, Dicker se enfrenta ya a sus temas preferidos (dilemas existenciales, las grandes preguntas, la violencia y la posibilidad de redencion) y demuestra su extraordinaria capacidad de atraparnos con una historia poderosa y unos personajes que se graban a fuego.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe first thriller by the world bestselling author of The Enigma of Room 622 and The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair. MORE THAN 9,000,000 READERS ARE #AddictedToDicker Winner of the Prix Goncourt des Lyceens, Grand Prix du Roman de l'Academie Francaise, Prix Lire, Premio Que Leer and Premio San Clemente At the age of nineteen, Joel Dicker entered a young authors contest with his novella The Tiger. Later, the head of the judging panel admitted that the members did not consider it because they couldnt believe it had been written by someone so young. Eight years later, Dicker won the Grand Prix du Roman de l'Academie Francaise and the Prix Goncourt des Lyceens for The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair. In this tale, inspired by the British and Russian classics, Dicker is already developing the themes he addresses in his later literature (existential dilemmas, lifes big questions, violence and the possibility of redemption) and demonstrates his extraordinary capacity for drawing in readers with engrossing plots and unforgettable characters.

FINNIt all starts with an innocuous curiosity: at the Hotel de Verbier, a luxury hotel in the Swiss Alps, there is no Room 622.This anomaly piques the interest of Joel Dicker, Switzerland's most famous literary star, who flees to the Verbier to recover from a bad breakup, mourn the death of his publisher, and begin his next novel. Before he knows it, he's coaxed out of his slump by a fellow guest, who quickly uncovers the reason behind Room 622's erasure: an unsolved murder. The attendant circumstances: a love triangle and a power struggle at the heart of Switzerland's largest private bank, a mysterious counter-intelligence unit known only as P-30, and a shadowy emigre with more money than God. A Russian doll of a mystery crafted with the precision of a Swiss watch, The Enigma of Room 622 is Joel Dicker's most diabolically addictive thriller yet.Praise for Joel Dicker "It's that most engaging of treats, a big, fat, intelligent thriller" SIMON MAYO"Dicker has the first-rate crime novelist's ability to lead his readers up the garden path" Sunday ExpressTranslated from the French by Robert Bononno A Russian doll of a mystery crafted with the precision of a Swiss watch by the bestselling author of The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. 1st American Edition ===================== Synopsis: 2018 NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD BOOK OF THE YEAR In this dual autobiography, the Klarsfelds tell the dramatic story of fifty years devoted to bringing Nazis to justice For more than a century, Beate and Serge Klarsfeld have hunted, confronted, and exposed Nazi war criminals, tracking them down in places as far-flung as South America and the Middle East. It is they who uncovered the notorious torturer Klaus Barbie, known as "the Butcher of Lyon," in Bolivia. It is they who outed Kurt Lischka as chief of the Gestapo in Paris, the man responsible for the largest deportation of French Jews. And it is they who, with the help of their son, Arno, brought the Vichy police chief Maurice Papon to justice. They were born on opposite sides of the Second World War. Beates father was in the Wehrmacht, while Serges father was deported to Auschwitz because he was a Jew. But when Serge and Beate met on the Paris metro, they instantly fell in love. They soon married and have since dedicated their lives to "hunting the truth"?both as world-famous Nazi hunters and as meticulous documenters of the fate of the innocent French Jewish children who were killed in the death camps. They have been jailed and targeted by letter bombs, and their car was even blown up. Yet nothing has daunted the Klarsfelds in their pursuit of justice. Beate made worldwide headlines at age twenty-nine by slapping the high-profile exNazi propagandist Chancellor Kurt Georg Kiesinger and shouting "Nazi!" Serge intentionally provoked a neo-Nazi in a German beer hall by wearing an armband with a yellow star on it, so that the press would report on the assault. When Pope John Paul II met with Austrias then-president, Kurt Waldheim, a former Wehrmacht officer in the Balkans suspected of war crimes, the Klarsfelds son, dressed as a Nazi officer, stood outside the Vatican. The Klarsfelds also dedicated themselves to defeating Jean-Marie Le Pens National Front and his daughter Marine Le Pens 2017 campaign for president in France. Brave, urgent, and buoyed by a remarkable love story, Hunting the Truth is not only the dramatic memoir of bringing Nazis to justice, it is also the inspiring story of an unrelenting battle against prejudice and hate. About the Author: Beate and Serge Klarsfeld are renowned French activists whose work apprehending Nazi war criminals, seeking justice for victims and survivors of war crimes, and establishing the historical record of the Holocaust has brought them international recognition. Recipients of Frances Legion of Honor and Germanys Federal Order of Merit, they were named UNESCO Ambassadors of Genocide Prevention by the United Nations in 2015 and were granted honorary Israeli citizenship by the Israeli government in recognition of their support of the Jewish cause. Beate is the recipient of the Jabotinski Prize, and both Beate and Serge have received the HIAS Liberty Award and the Raoul Wallenberg Prize.
