  Yesterday at the Hotel Clarendon

  Nominated for a Governor General's Award for Translation
     
  Yesterday, on my way back from the museum: my head is full of images of storms. A boundless sea of paintings and photographs. Other storms I build like a backdrop, with sombre and anonymous characters, impossible to identify. I remain thus all evening, pressed up against the existence of a storm without feeling threatened. Waiting. After a few moments I become, I am, the storm, the disruption, the precipitation, the agitation that puts reality in peril.
     
  Carla Carlson is at the Hotel Clarendon in Quebec City trying to finish a novel. Nearby, a woman, preoccupied with sadness and infatuated with her boss, catalogues antiquities at the Museum of Civilization. Every night, the two women meet at the hotel bar and talk – about childhood and parents and landscapes, about time and art, about Descartes and Francis Bacon and writing.
     
  When Yesterday, at the Hotel Clarendon appeared in French (as Hier), the media called it the pinnacle of Brossard’s remarkable forty-year literary career. From its intersection of four women emerges a kind of art installation, a lively read in which life and death and the vertigo of ruins tangle themselves together to say something about history and desire and art.
     
  ‘Hier is a book in which the love of language, authorial anxiety and the generosity of a writer who has dedicated herself to the craft of writing are truly revealed.’
     
  – Le Devoir
     
  ‘An explorer of language, Brossard has, for many years, pursued a demanding and unarguably original oeuvre. Hier, her latest book, is a kind of sum or synthesis of her research and her meditations.’
     
  – Lettres Québécoises

  Amateur dramatics was never meant to be so deadly! 
   
   
   
  The man was not meant to die; the daggers were only theatrical props, plastic and harmless. A summer's night, a production of Julius Caesar among the ruins of an Anglo-Saxon fort. Detective Inspector Tremayne is there with his sergeant, Clare Yarwood. The assassination scene, the man collapses to the ground, Brutus defending his actions, Mark Antony's rebuke. 
   
   
   
  They're a disparate group, the amateur actors. One's an estate agent, another, an accountant. And then there is the teenage man, the gay, the funeral director, the commodities trader. And what about the women? They could be involved. 
   
   
   
  They've all got a secret, but which of those on the stage wanted Gordon Mason, the actor who had portrayed Caesar, dead?

  Hard-boiled 1920s private detective Buck Baxter is used to solving crimes of passion, but when his latest client turns out to be his own boyfriend, Harry Hart, Buck discovers that nothing is what it seems when it comes to the mysteries of love. 
  All of Wilde City is abuzz with the unveiling of transport tycoon Howard Hart’s latest innovation, a rocket-train that promises to change the future of not only Wilde City, but the entire world. But not everyone has their mind on Hart Industries, including Harry—Howard’s son and heir to the Hart empire—who is so suspicious of his mother’s abnormal behavior that he hires his boyfriend, Buck, to investigate. 
  On the surface, the case looks like another secret love affair. But when Buck finds danger at every turn, he realizes this investigation is much deeper—and the stakes much higher—than he ever suspected. 
  From the smoke-veiled opium barge known as The Peking Empress to the opulence of the Hart family mansion—from Luigi’s garlicky gangster-run Linguine Kitchen to the secret-filled carriages of The Millennium Express—Buck’s latest case is about to teach him that love comes in many forms, all of which are wrapped in secrets, danger and a whole lot of mystery. 
  Buck Baxter and the Mysteries of Love is the third adventure in The Buck Baxter Detective Agency series. It is a campy, noir, 35k-word detective story featuring a tough and troubled leading man, a heartthrob love interest with secrets of his own and a hilarious cast of supporting characters. Enter a world of prohibition, gangsters, speakeasies, jazz clubs, star-crossed romance, brooding heroes and a mystery with a twist.
