Major, L.N. Voyer, Surintendant De La Police Provinciale: Biographie

From one of Scandinavia's finest and best-loved novelists comes a startlingly intimate and powerful portrait about the fragile, yet irrevocable bond between a young girl and her dying mother

They

If Guy Ritchie directed a James Bond caper starring a queer 007, it might look something like this hilarious and action-packed spy thriller by Paul Rudnick, acclaimed screenwriter and author of Farrell Covington and the Limits of Style, that blends espionage and social commentary with an elite society of gay secret agents. They are fierce patriots. They are licensed to kill. And they are really, really gay. Welcome to democracy’s secret weapon, the Tuxedo Society. When Andrew Birnbaum, a struggling actor making ends meet by working in a candle shop, gets invited to have dinner with the exclusive Tuxedo Society by his best friend, Brock, his life takes an unexpected turn. What seems like a group of wealthy socialites gathering for gossip and cocktails quickly spirals into a world of espionage, danger, and hilarity. Andrew soon meets Reggie O’Malley, a Navy SEAL with a penchant for black tie, who recruits Andrew to join the society’s covert mission to protect national security. Armed with gadgets like an inflatable life raft backpack, a yoga mat that doubles as an assault rifle, and, of course, an AMEX Black Card, Andrew quickly finds himself tackling spies, thwarting assassinations, and facing a host of unexpected threats in settings from the White House to the Vatican to the Summer Olympic Games. The stakes escalate when Andrew and his comrades are sent on a jet-setting mission to uncover the truth about an ancient artifact. Along the way, they clash with oligarchs, crooked senators, and a smarmy televangelist with sinister plans for world domination. Packed with Paul Rudnick’s signature wit, The Tuxedo Society is a wild ride through decadence, danger, and unexpected heroism, as Andrew discovers that saving the world might just be the role he’s been waiting for.

The Tuxedo Society

Salto

Im Jahr 1648 durchfuhr ein einfacher Kosak die Meerenge zwischen Russland und Amerika in einem selbstgezimmerten Boot. Sein Bericht über diese Reise verstaubte in einem Archiv. So kam es, dass nicht Semjon Deschnew in die Geschichtsbücher einging, sondern Vitus Bering: Der dänische Kapitän reiste 80 Jahre später im Auftrag Zar Peters des Großen, mit prall gefüllter Kasse. Obwohl Bering auf halber Strecke umkehrte, heimste er den Ruhm ein – bis heute ist die Durchfahrt nach ihm benannt.
Deschnews Schicksal ist eines von zwölf, die in diesem Buch versammelt sind. Es sind Geschichten von Revolutionärinnen, die grandios scheiterten, von Schiffbrüchigen, die Schriftstellern zu Weltruhm verhalfen, sowie von mutigen Widerstandskämpferinnen. Kaum bekannt ist auch der Fußballspieler und Trainer, der ein hartnäckiges antisemitisches Vorurteil widerlegte und dessen Prophezeiung seinen Ex-Verein bis heute verfolgt.
Ralf Höller erzählt Geschichte von unten, entdeckt kaum bekannte Fakten und oft übersehene Details und kommt in der Rückschau zu überraschenden Schlüssen.

Hier findet sie Zuflucht im Haus des Domvikars. Mithilfe ihres fundierten Wissens im Bereich der Klostermedizin gründet sie eine deutsche Marke, die dank ihres unermüdlichen Einsatzes einen globalen Siegeszug antreten wird."Klosterfrau" schlägt ein bislang wenig beachtetes Kapitel der Kölner Geschichte und Medizingeschichte auf und erzählt von einer beeindruckenden Persönlichkeit, die ihrer Zeit weit voraus war.

Die Nonne und das Unternehmen

Maria Clementine Martin, Klosterfrau

After years spent outrunning her past, Cecília reexamines the case of a close family friend killed by a colleague and rival: her father. In 1988, shortly after Brazil reestablishes democratic rule, a state congressman is shot and killed in Porto Alegre. The main suspect: a close friend and colleague in congress, Representative Raul Matzenbacher. Many years later, Cecília Matzenbacher, his daughter, migrates from Southern Brazil to California, where she finds work as a taxidermist. Her temperament is ideally suited to this type of restoration and the careful reconstruction of a world frozen in time. But as Cecília confronts her own history and the memories of the investigation surrounding her father, her knack for composition frays. When news arrives that Raul has suffered a stroke and Cecília's chances to see him again may be limited, her past can no longer stay put, posed like a specimen behind glass. Her story emerges, the past stalking her present, threatening to derail the life she's made for herself in the United States. In sleek, arresting prose imbued with the suspense-filled edge of a true-crime thriller, Diorama cements Carol Bensimon's status as one of the most dynamic voices in contemporary Brazilian literature and demonstrates her narrative gifts at their apex. Fusing police procedural, coming-of-age story, and family drama, Diorama is a moving mystery about what and how we remember, a novel that endangers our notions of what is or isn't still alive inside all of us.

Diorama

Emily Austin, the bestselling “queen of darkly quirky, endearingly flawed heroines” (Sarah Haywood, author of The Cactus), returns with a luminous new novel following a librarian who comes back to work after a mental breakdown only to confront book-banning crusaders in an empowering story of grief, love, and the power of libraries. Darcy’s life turned out better than she could have ever imagined. She is a librarian at the local branch, while her wife Joy runs a book binding service. Between the two of them, there is no more room on their shelves with their ample book collections, various knickknacks and bobbles, and dried bouquets. Rounding out their ideal life is two cats and a sun-soaked house by the lake. But when Darcy receives the news that her ex-boyfriend, Ben, has passed away, she spirals into a pit of guilt and regret, resulting in a mental breakdown and medical leave from the library. When she returns to work, she is met by unrest in her community and protests surrounding intellectual freedom, resulting in a call for book bans and a second look at the branch’s upcoming DEI programs. Through the support of her community, colleagues, and the personal growth that results from examining her previous relationships, Darcy comes into her own agency and the truest version of herself. Is This a Cry for Help? not only offers a moving portrait of queer life after coming of age but also powerfully explores questions about sexuality, community, and the importance of libraries.

Is This a Cry for Help?

"A magnificent debut" (Laila Lalami) that explores loneliness and community, religion and repression, and the pleasure and pain of womanhood. Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2026 by Debutiful, Lit Hub, Chicago Review of Books, and Autostraddle By turns tender and irreverent, the 11 genre-bending stories in Please Don't Touch the Body are thrillingly concerned with the devastation-and power-of being alive today. In the collection's first story, a Japanese woman finds healing in a secret life as a sex advice columnist after being fetishized by her white husband for decades. In the fourth story, Ronald Reagan is reincarnated as a puppy and must cope with being squeezed, dropped, and controlled by his young, queer owner. And in "Thank You No Thank You," a young woman grapples with the rules she learned in her religious childhood, the freedoms of her new and more liberal life, and her actual desires as she vacations with her long-term boyfriend. Together these inventive, emotionally rich stories reveal an incredible new vision and "a writer to watch" (Rita Chang-Eppig).

The Payback

A quiet village. A shared garden. A threat that arrives politely and grows impossible to ignore.When new neighbours move into the building next door, life in Marrowick begins to change in ways that are easy to dismiss and difficult to escape. Arguments bleed through walls. Police visits become routine. Fear settles slowly into a home already shaped by care, disability, and responsibility.As the situation escalates, a man who has always believed in calm, honesty, and proportion finds himself living on constant alert. Not violent, but vigilant. Not reckless, but permanently on guard. When a line is finally crossed, restraint itself becomes a risk.Next Door is a restrained, first-person account of prolonged neighbour conflict and the quiet erosion of safety. It explores how ordinary people are changed by sustained threat, how systems fail slowly, and what it costs to protect a family when walking away is not an option.Based on a true story. Readers interested in Adam's other work can explore his adult nonfiction and children's titles through his Author Page.
