Paul Auster Dans un monde qui se lit à travers le prisme des correspondances et des signes secrets, il n'est point de hasards ni de coïncidences. Pour qui sait les interpréter, ces messages qui s'imposent d'eux-mêmes sont la marque du destin. Ainsi, lorsque l'on se nomme Marco Stanley Fogg, trois fois marqué par la notion de voyage, comment résister à l'appel de l'inconnu ? Toujours en partance, toujours en devenir, la vie de M.S. Fogg n'a plus de commune mesure avec le voyage, elle ressemble à un chemin de croix. De New York l'inhospitalière aux plaines de l'Ouest mythique, il entreprend une étrange exploration qui le mène sur la voie d'une quête intérieure, puis sur les traces d'un passé qu'il croyait définitivement enterré. Jamais bien loin de la démence, des hommes qui se perdent eux-mêmes, plongés dans une insondable solitude, tels sont les héros de Paul Auster, ils hantent toute son oeuvre. Moon Palace se situe pourtant à part, car en filigrane il perce dans ce roman comme un souffle de vie, comme une secrète urgence, qui sait... peut-être un espoir. —Lenaïc Gravis et Jocelyn Blériot

Dan Brown

Dan Brown With The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown masterfully concocts an intelligent and lucid thriller that marries the gusto of an international murder mystery with a collection of fascinating esoterica culled from 2,000 years of Western history. A murder in the silent after-hours halls of the Louvre museum reveals a sinister plot to uncover a secret that has been protected by a clandestine society since the days of Christ. The victim is a high-ranking agent of this ancient society who, in the moments before his death, manages to leave gruesome clues at the scene that only his granddaughter, noted cryptographer Sophie Neveu, and Robert Langdon, a famed symbologist, can untangle.

The duo become both suspects and detectives searching not only for Neveu's grandfather's murderer, but also the stunning secret of the ages he was charged to protect. Mere steps ahead of the authorities and the deadly competition, the mystery leads Neveu and Langdon on a breathless flight through France, England and history itself. Brown has created a page-turning thriller that also provides an amazing interpretation of Western history. Brown's hero and heroine embark on a lofty and intriguing exploration of some of Western culture's greatest mysteries—from the nature of the Mona Lisa's smile to the secret of the Holy Grail. Though some will quibble with the veracity of Brown's conjectures, therein lies the fun. The Da Vinci Code is an enthralling read that provides rich food for thought. —Jeremy Pugh, Amazon.com

Harlan Coben For Dr. David Beck, the loss was shattering. And every day for the past eight years, he has relived the horror of what happened. The gleaming lake. The pale moonlight. The piercing screams. The night his wife was taken. The last night he saw her alive.

Everyone tells him it’s time to move on, to forget the past once and for all. But for David Beck, there can be no closure. A message has appeared on his computer, a phrase only he and his dead wife know. Suddenly Beck is taunted with the impossible–that somewhere, somehow, Elizabeth is alive.

Beck has been warned to tell no one. And he doesn’t. Instead, he runs from the people he trusts the most, plunging headlong into a search for the shadowy figure whose messages hold out a desperate hope.

But already Beck is being hunted down. He’s headed straight into the heart of a dark and deadly secret–and someone intends to stop him before he gets there.
