A Murder & Magic Novel

Indiana Jones meets Hidden Figures in this brand-new stand-alone historical fantasy set in the world of The Conductors, in which the space race of the mid-20th century will be determined by magic...if not murder.In the 1960s, the world was caught up in reaching beyond our planet and into the cosmos. It felt impossible—but there was nothing science, math…and magic couldn’t make possible. The race to space was on, and the Moon was what everyone had their eyes on.Including Cynthia Rhodes, a brilliant arcane engineer at NASA’s Ainsworth Research Labs. Talented in math and magic, she hosts a magical educational show... a job she took mostly for a chance to regularly see the dashing Theodore Danner, a professor of arcane archeology.She is also an amateur sleuth—something that has run in her family for generations. When a cursed museum curator nearly interrupts a broadcast of their show, Cynthia finds an eager sleuthing partner in Theo. Pairing up, they begin investigating the strange behavior of the curator and a mysterious theft at the arcane history museum—until one of Cynthia’s own coworkers perishes right in front of her in a major lab accident that endangers Ainsworth’s role in the space race. Certain it was murder instead of an accident, Cynthia sees this as a separate case at first. However the more she and Theo investigate, Cynthia uncovers a surprising link between the two incidents. The museum theft and murder are part of a larger equation—one that includes deadly enchantments, rumored pirate treasure, a peculiar plant, and a dire threat to the space program as well as everything she holds dear.The Starseekers is another rip-roaring adventure for the Rhodes family, who have been using magic to aid their community and solve mysteries since before the Civil War. The times may have changed, but a Rhodes once again finds themselves thrust into a world of murders, theft, sabotage, and curses, and this time the stakes extend to the stars themselves.&nbsp;

A Murder and Magic Novel

The Starseekers

The latest novel from the winner of the 2021 European Union Prize for Literature.

Teddý lives with her parents on a farm in the Icelandic wilderness. It's 1962, and the world is changing, although you wouldn't know it from the stark quiet of the lava fields and mountains that mark the boundaries of the young woman's existence. But after two chance encounters, Teddý's dreams of a world beyond begin to crystallise, albeit in strange and unexpected ways, as we follow one woman's life over five decades, from farm to city to the skies. Taking us from the grandeur of rural Iceland to the glossy, sticky world of 1970s air travel, via check fraud, thwarted ambition and lost astronauts, Boudoir is a novel about reinvention, dislocation, and the forceful gravity of the lives and selves we think we've left behind.

Interventions: Rethinking the Nineteenth Century

Speculative endeavors describes the connections between speculation and minoritarian subjects and practices during the rise of capitalism in the US. Drawing on diverse historical perspectives, the volume challenges conventional historiographic narratives by spotlighting historic agents traditionally excluded from discussions of knowledge and capitalism. Through a series of meticulously researched essays on pedagogical practices, domestic manners, public court cases, and behind-the-scenes publishing habits, the book delves into the quotidian forms of knowledge on the fringes of nineteenth-century society. Each original contribution sheds light on how seemingly inconsequential narratives are part of the fabric of the period's burgeoning market economy and financial capitalism. Speculative endeavors is a call to reconceptualize our understanding of the past. Through its rigorous analyses of epistemic and economic practices and compelling narratives of marginalized agents, this groundbreaking collection invites readers to reconsider the intersections of power, privilege, and precarity in the turbulent times between the early republic and the Gilded Age.

The Will to Adorn

NATIONAL BESTSELLER From the bestselling and “soul-stirring” (Oprah Daily) author of Room, a sweeping historical “nail-biter” (People) of a novel about the infamous 1895 disaster at the Paris Montparnasse train station. Based on an 1895 disaster that went down in history when it was captured in a series of surreal, extraordinary photographs, The Paris Express is a propulsive novel set on a train packed with a fascinating cast of characters who hail from as close as Brittany and as far as Russia, Ireland, Algeria, Pennsylvania, and Cambodia. Members of parliament hurry back to Paris to vote; a medical student suspects a girl may be dying; a secretary tries to convince her boss of the potential of moving pictures; two of the train’s crew build a life away from their wives; a young anarchist makes a terrifying plan, and much more. From an author whose “writing is superb alchemy” (Audrey Niffenegger, New York Times bestselling author), The Paris Express is an evocative masterpiece that effortlessly captures the politics, glamour, chaos, and speed that marked the end of the 19th century.

Die Hexe vom Distelschloss

In Edinburgh, wo das Leben der Menschen dank den Wundern moderner Technologie floriert, ist Magie längst überflüssig geworden. Hexen, die sich dennoch auf Pakte mit schelmischen Naturgeistern einlassen, werden argwöhnisch beäugt. Eine dieser Hexen ist Marie Blackwood, Besitzerin eines kleinen Ladens für Magie, in dem die Zeit stillzustehen scheint. Doch als eines Tages Vertreter der Kirche den jungen Theo Edison in ihre Obhut geben, gewinnt sie nicht nur unvermittelt einen Mitbewohner und Lehrling dazu, sondern muss auch dafür sorgen, dass ebendieser mit seinen außergewöhnlichen Kräften nicht versehentlich das Ende der Welt herbeizaubert ...

The Paris Bookshop Mysteries

A delightful French cozy mystery set in the dazzling word of 19th-century Paris: an endearingly quirky young bookseller / part-time crime solver investigates a sinister death at the city's greatest landmark. The first in the bestselling Paris Bookshop Mysteries, perfect for fans of Boris Akunin and S.G. Maclean! It's a sunny weekend in Paris like no other. All those with money to spare are rushing to climb the brand-new Eiffel Tower: the glory of the 1889 Universal Exposition. Among them is Victor Legris: bookseller, amateur photographer, and owner of Paris's beloved Elzevir Bookshop. When he and the rest of the crowd witness a woman suddenly collapse and die on the Tower's second floor, Legris is certain her death was caused by something more ominous than a bee sting like the authorities claim. Determined to figure out what really happened, he sets out on an investigation that takes him all across Paris, from the city's art dealers and literary salons, to its newspaper offices, to the slums on the banks of the Seine. But when the deaths begin to multiply--all victims who were on the second floor that day--Legris finds himself in a race against time to catch the killer before it is too late. Murder on the Eiffel Tower is the exciting first installment in a series of warm and cozy mysteries set in Belle Epoque Paris, starring a bookshop manager, Victor Legris, and his team of bookselling associates. Penned by sisters Liliane and Laurence Korb, who were booksellers on the banks of the Seine for many years, the Paris Bookshop Mysteries series has sold more than 800,000 copies in France and been translated into 8 languages.

Murder on the Eiffel Tower

Mit Carl Zuckmayers Wechsel vom Ullstein Verlag zum S. Fischer Verlag nahm 1935 eine enge Freundschaft mit Peter Suhrkamp ihren Anfang, die dieser Briefwechsel dokumentiert.

Nach der 'Arisierung' des Ullstein Verlags 1934 fand Carl Zuckmayer, einer der erfolgreichsten Dramatiker der Weimarer Republik, im S. Fischer Verlag eine neue verlegerische Heimat. Dort war Peter Suhrkamp sein wichtigster Ansprechpartner bei der Vorbereitung der schließlich von den NS-Behörden verbotenen Veröffentlichung des Romans 'Salwàre oder die Magdalena von Bozen'. Damit nahm eine enge Freundschaft ihren Anfang. Sie war nicht zuletzt die Basis dafür, dass Zuckmayer nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg ebenso wie Bertolt Brecht die Verhandlungen mit deutschen Theatern über die Vergabe von Aufführungsrechten seiner Stücke ohne jedes Zögern Peter Suhrkamp anvertraute. Umgekehrt suchte Suhrkamp Zuckmayers Rat, als sich nach der Währungsreform abzeichnete, dass eine ursprünglich beabsichtigte Zusammenführung des von 1936 an von Suhrkamp geleiteten S. Fischer Verlags in Deutschland mit dem von Gottfried Bermann Fischer geleiteten Verlagsteil, der ins Exil gezwungen worden war, wegen wachsender Differenzen scheitern wird.

Crisis Management in Tourism

This landmark collection provides new insights, concepts and techniques to understand and respond to tort claims based on illegal conduct. It is the first comparative study of this difficult field, which has remained contested despite numerous decisions of the highest courts in the common law world. The collection draws on scholars from common law and civilian jurisdictions spanning Argentina, Australia, Brazil, England and Wales, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Scotland, Singapore, Spain, South Africa and Sweden. Together they set out fact patterns, and justifications for tort liability to illustrate the coherence and unity that exists when courts address such claims. While common law legal systems have developed a specific defence of illegality for some of those fact patterns, civilian jurisdictions tend to see illegality operating, if at all, through the existing components of tort liability. The book explains how these different approaches have been reached, how they work, and what they reveal about reasoning in tort.
