The Devouring Fire by Lord Gorell is a gripping and atmospheric mystery that unfolds within the genteel yet secretive world of English country life. With elegant prose and a masterful sense of pacing, Gorell crafts a tale where refinement and menace exist side by side. Set against the backdrop of a quiet rural estate, the story begins with what appears to be an accidental fire—but as clues emerge, it becomes clear that something far more sinister is at work. Beneath the surface of polite society, long-held grudges, hidden romances, and unspoken rivalries smolder like embers ready to ignite. When a death is discovered among the ashes, suspicion spreads quickly, and the hunt for the truth begins. Gorell’s characters are finely drawn and psychologically complex. His protagonist—an astute observer of human nature—guides readers through a labyrinth of motives and secrets with quiet intensity. The countryside, rendered in vivid detail, becomes almost a character in itself, enhancing the story’s sense of isolation and slow-burning tension. This illustrated edition brings added richness to the reading experience, with artwork that evokes the mood and era of the narrative. Elegant and suspenseful, The Devouring Fire is a hidden gem of Golden Age mystery fiction. Perfect for fans of classic British crime novels, this novel exemplifies Lord Gorell’s skill at blending intellect, atmosphere, and suspense into an unforgettable reading experience.

Quoi de pire qu'une belle-mère toxique ? Le fantôme d'une belle-mère toxique. Un suspense domestique, noir et décalé, à propos d'une femme qui doit prendre des mesures drastiques pour se sauver et sauver son mari du fantôme de sa belle-mère. Abby Lamb est une femme accomplie. Elle a un mari parfait – Ralph, drôle et attentionné –, un travail satisfaisant, et un projet de bébé. Cerise sur le gâteau : l'horrible mère de Ralph, qui faisait du chantage au suicide à son fils depuis son enfance, a fini par passer à l'acte. Exit l'affreuse belle-mère, retrouvée morte au pied de l'escalier de leur cave. Mais alors qu'Abby pense que Ralph et elle sont enfin libérés de cette présence toxique, voilà que d'étranges phénomènes commencent à se produire chez eux, rideaux qui bougent seuls, couteaux qui se déplacent, chuchotements dans la cave. Et Ralph, que deuil et sentiment de culpabilité ont plongé dans une dépression sévère, finit par avouer à sa femme qu'il en est persuadé : sa mère est revenue. Abby doit alors établir un plan pour sauver Ralph de ses démons et rompre pour de bon le sort que sa belle-mère a jeté sur sa famille... Drôle, provoquant et effrayant, Elle est revenue est un suspense psychologique à ne pas mettre entre toutes les mains... " Un mélange irrésistible d'horreur domestique et d'humour noir. " The Guardian " Excentrique, effrayant et follement original. " The New York Times Traduit de l'anglais (Canada) par Michael Belano.

The intense action thriller from million copy bestseller Rob Sinclair, perfect for fans of Mark Dawson.Rule number one for an agent of the secretive JIA is to follow orders, no matter what.But James Ryker has never cared much for rules. He only wants to do what is right.Assigned to join a crew of elite security personnel in Chabon, Africa, Ryker’s mission objective is clouded by politics and obfuscation, and he knows only that to protect British interests in the region, he is to infiltrate the close protection team of the government of Chabon, a country with a dark and violent past. ​Arriving in Chabon’s crumbling capital, Kilpassa, Ryker finds a country on the brink of civil war. A growing civilian rebellion threatens peace, with claims of atrocities committed by both sides, including the frail government run by enigmatic President Benyu - a former military general who took control of the country in a violent coup. ​Drawn into Benyu’s inner circle, it soon becomes clear to Ryker that in Chabon, the lines between good and bad, and right and wrong, are nearly impossible to identify.With a crisis of epic proportions unfolding before his eyes, Ryker knows one thing for sure: with or without the backing of his superiors, he must take drastic action, and quickly, or risk putting millions of innocent lives in danger.Praise for Rob Sinclair:'A cracking thriller with a Reacheresque hero you can't help but root for!' – John Ryder'A real page-turner, impossible to put down' Publishers Weekly'A must-read for fans of Lee Child and Robert Ludlum' Chelle’s Book Reviews'An adrenaline shot right to the heart' The Best Thriller Books'Action-packed, fast-paced, thrilling with many plot twists' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'This book is a wonderful read and is one you won't want to put down' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'To say the book is action-packed is an understatement - it is full of the stuff' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'Lots of action and subterfuge and the characters play off each other' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'Action-packed and incredibly thrilling' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'A real page-turner' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
