  After the discovery of a second victim in Port Hope who closely resembles his childhood friend, Jerry and Gunter find themselves traveling to Niagara Falls, NY. Jerry feels certain he is dealing with more than a random coincidence. A feeling that is soon backed up by a visit from the spirit of another of the man’s victims. 
  Jerry will need to use all his paranormal resources if he and his ghostly K-9 partner Gunter are going to convince authorities they have a serial killer on their hands. 
  Things get even more complicated when the police want to know how Jerry just happens to know where all the bodies are buried, further threatening to destroy his former boss Seltzer’s career if Jerry doesn’t come clean about how he is able to solve another unsolvable case. 
  Having no other choice, Jerry must tell them of his communication with the spirits of the deceased. Will the detectives believe him, or will Gunter soon be forced to visit Jerry in a ten-by-ten cell?

  AimEe Leduc is all dressed up in her new Chinese silk jacket, supposedly an “exclusive,” for dinner with a difficult client at an elegant restaurant in the Bastille district. She is chagrined to see that the woman seated at the very next table is wearing an identical jacket. When the woman leaves her cell phone on the table, AimEe follows her to return it and is attacked in the shadowy Passage Boule Blanche. When she regains consciousness, AimEe finds that she is blind. Nevertheless, she is told she is lucky; the woman she was following was  found in the next passage, murdered.  AimEe is determined to identify her attacker. Was he actually a serial killer targeting showy blondes as the police insist? Was he really after the other woman? Or was AimEe his intended victim?  “Black’s fourth is her best yet, with complex, appealing characters, a crisp, well-paced mystery, and a setting like no other.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review, “Cara Black books are good companions, and Murder in the Bastille especially so. Fine  characters, good suspense, but, best of all, they are transcendentally, seductively, irresistibly French. If you can’t go, these will do fine. Or, better, go and bring them with you.”—Alan Furst,  “Charming … AimEe is one of those blithe spirits who can walk you through the city’s historical streets and byways with their eyes closed.”—New York Times Book Review

  “A stunning and intelligent debut novel; powerful, intense and raw . . . an insightful psychological portrait of a man on the edge.” —NB Magazine 
   
  December 1959: A furious anticolonial war rages in Algeria. Captain Jacques le Garrec, a former detective and French Resistance hero, returns to France in disgrace. Traumatized after two years of working in the army intelligence services, he’s now accused of a brutal crime. 
   
  As le Garrec awaits trial in the tiny Breton town where he grew up, he is asked to look into a disturbing and unsolved murder committed the previous winter. A local teenage girl was killed and her bizarrely mutilated body was left displayed on the heathland in a way that no one could understand. 
   
  Le Garrec’s investigations draw him into the dark past of the town, still haunted by memories of the German occupation. As he tries to reconstruct the events of the murder, the violence of this crime and his recollections of Algeria intertwine, threatening to submerge him. 
   
  “[A] provocative and unsettling first novel . . . a remarkably assured debut by a gifted new writer.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) 
   
  “Take a bit of Albert Camus, mix in some Nobel Prize-winning Patrick Modiano, add a dollop of French noir, and voilà, you have James Brydon’s The Moment Before Drowning.” —Denise Hamilton, bestselling author of Damage Control 
   
  “An exploration of political oppression wrapped in a carefully constructed mystery. In Brydon’s auspicious debut . . . the characters are alive and the mystery is mostly satisfying. An erudite and entertaining addition to the shelf.” —Kirkus Reviews
