Book Description
A gritty, atmospheric glimpse into Los Angeles’s noir underworld. Ash Levine, the top detective in the LAPD's elite Felony Special Squad, is called out to solve the murder of two young black men found shot to death in a Venice alley. The case is a high priority because one of the victims is the son of City Councilman Isaac Pinkney, a frequent critic of the LAPD. Searching for the killer throws Levine into the world of Los Angeles's Russian Mafia, Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans, and Middle Eastern archaeologists. Ash's history as a child of a Holocaust survivor gives him a unique perspective on murder, redemption, and justice. His background as a paratrooper in the Israel Defense Forces, and his relentless, single-minded focus on his investigations make him a thoroughly absorbing character. As Ash closes in on the killer, the investigation becomes increasingly complex—and personal. Ash soon discovers that he is not just an investigator, but a target.

Book Description
« Recommandez ce superbe roman aux fans du policier de procédure. Cela peut se lire comme une reprise obsédante du Faucon maltais...» Booklist Ancien des forces israéliennes et fils d’un rescapé de la Shoah, Ash Levine, l’inspecteur d’élite de la Felony Special du LAPD, est appelé à résoudre le meurtre de deux jeunes Noirs retrouvés tués par balle dans une ruelle de Venice. L’affaire est d’importance, l’une des victimes, Raymond Pinkney, étant le fils d’un conseiller municipal. Mais Levine comprend très vite que Raymond se trouvait simplement au mauvais endroit au mauvais moment. C’est l’autre victime, son ami d’enfance Teshay Winfield, qui était visé. Il était en possession d’un masque inestimable volé lors du pillage des musées de Bagdad pendant la guerre d’Irak. Connaissant sa valeur, Teshay l’a fait passer aux États-Unis dans l’espoir de le vendre. Quand Levine découvre que les victimes n’ont pas été tuées là où on les a retrouvées, il ne se doute pas qu’il est en danger: il est en effet sur le point de trouver la solution et nombreux sont les individus qui n’ont aucune envie de le voir réussir...

Book Description
Morganville is such a nice place to live . . . And die. If you don't mind that sort of thing. When Claire Danvers learnt that her college town was run by vampires, she did what any intelligent, self-preserving student would do: she applied for a transfer and stocked up on garlic. The transfer is no longer an option, but that garlic may come in handy. Now Claire has pledged herself to Amelie, the most powerful vampire in town. The protection her contract secures does little to reassure her friends. All of a sudden, people are turning up dead, a stalker resurfaces from Claire's past, and an ancient bloodsucker extends a chilling invitation for private lessons in his secluded home. 'Thrilling, sexy, and funny! These books are addictive. One of my very favorite vampire series.' Richelle Mead, author of the international bestselling Vampire Academy series.

Book Description
Forgotten today, established Black communities once existed in the alleyways of Washington, D.C., even in neighborhoods as familiar as Capitol Hill and Foggy Bottom. James Borchert's study delves into the lives and folkways of the largely alley dwellers and how their communities changed from before the Civil War, to the late 1890s era when almost 20,000 people lived in alley houses, to the effects of reform and gentrification in the mid-twentieth century.
