Paris, Frankreich. Im Jahr 2004. Ein scheinbar nichtssagender Mordbericht in der Pariser Zeitung La Vitesse-Lumière über ein noch nicht identifiziertes Mordopfer zieht de Valence in den Kreis der Verdächtigen, als man dessen Identität Tage später feststellt. Doch wie ist de Valence in diesen Mord verstrickt? Wusste er etwas über das Opfer, was bisher noch unbekannt war? De Valence schweigt sich darüber aus und lässt alle Fragen des Inspektors unbeantwortet. Am Ende weist er Dumas sogar die Tür. Noch am selben Abend muss er aber mit Entsetzen feststellen, dass er unweigerlich die Hau

One of the original 27 counties of California, Mariposa County, located on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada and containing more than 900,000 acres, once covered one-fifth of the state and was considered the Mother of California Counties. First inhabited by several Native American tribes, the land that became Mariposa County saw a flood of miners and other white settlers to the area with the discovery of gold in 1849. The county produced not only $48 million in gold, but also millions in copper, lead, zinc, and chromite, among other minerals. Now home to more than 20,000 residents, as wel

A blow-by-blow account of ecstasy and despair, this narrative exposes one man’s battle with compulsive gambling. It is the harrowing memoir of Doug Little’s two-year binge as a compulsive gambler-a fall from grace that made national headlines, destroyed his life, and brought him to the very gates of prison, insanity, and death. As a community leader, Little bet on a world-class casino as the economic salvation of his town while he himself was hopelessly addicted, gambling feverishly to win back the thousands of dollars he had "borrowed" from the eight bank accounts he controlled.

Heartbreaking, poetic, and intensely personal, Butterfly Boy is a unique coming out and coming-of-age story of a first-generation Chicano who trades one life for another, only to discover that history and memory are not exchangeable or forgettable.  Growing up among poor migrant Mexican farmworkers, Rigoberto González also faces the pressure of coming-of-age as a gay man in a culture that prizes machismo. Losing his mother when he is twelve, González must then confront his father’s abandonment and an abiding sense of cultural estrangement, both from his adopted home in the United States

In his first year of school, Francisco understands little of what his teacher says. But he is drawn to the silent, slow-moving caterpillar in the jar next to his desk. He knows caterpillars turn into butterflies, but just how do they do it? To find out, he studies the words in a butterfly book so many times that he can close his eyes and see the black letters, but he still can’t understand their meaning. Illustrated with paintings as deep and rich as the wings of a butterfly, this honest, unsentimental account of a schoolchild’s struggle to learn language reveals that our imaginati
