  In the first movement of Giants' Bread, Agatha Christie's haunting novel of romance, suspense, and artistic destiny opens far from the triumph of the opera house. Book I: Abbots Puissants returns to the childhood of Vernon Deyre, heir to an old English house, a sensitive boy surrounded by grand rooms, family pride, servants, silences, and the strange private kingdom of his own imagination. 
  Vernon's world is ruled by Nurse, shaped by his beautiful and possessive mother, shadowed by his restless father, and filled with secret companions only he can see. The estate of Abbots Puissants, with its abbey ruins, clipped gardens, forest paths, and hidden tensions, becomes the first landscape of his genius. A grand piano terrifies him like a living beast, yet the terror is bound to something deeper: a violent response to sound, beauty, and emotional truth. 
  As Vernon grows, the adults around him reveal a world of desire, jealousy, class, disappointment, and betrayal. A broken leg brings him under the care of Nurse Frances, one of the first people to understand his inner life without mockery. A school friendship with Sebastian Levinne opens another door, one that leads toward art, rebellion, and the complicated loyalties of youth. 
  This volume is intimate, psychologically rich, and quietly suspenseful. It does not rush toward crime or sensation. Instead, it reveals the foundations of a life that will one day produce a work of genius. For listeners who love literary suspense, character-driven drama, and the secret history behind a public triumph, Abbots Puissants is the essential beginning of Giants' Bread.

  1901: Back from their honeymoon in Italy, Emma and Derrick are adapting to married life as they return to their duties at their jointly owned newspaper, the Newport Messenger. The Elms, coal baron Edward Berwind's newly completed Bellevue Avenue estate, is newsworthy for two reasons: A modern mansion for the new century, it is one of the first homes in America to be wired for electricity with no backup power system, generated by coal from Berwind's own mines. And their servants—with a single exception—have all gone on strike to protest their working conditions. Summarily dismissing and replacing his staff with cool and callous efficiency, Berwind throws a grand party to showcase the marvels of his new "cottage." 
   
   
    
  Emma and Derrick are invited to the fete, which culminates not only in a fabulous musicale but an unforeseen tragedy—a chambermaid is found dead in the coal tunnel. In short order, it is also discovered that a guest's diamond necklace is missing and a laborer has disappeared. 
   
   
    
  Detective Jessie Whyte entreats Emma and Derrick to help with the investigation and determine if the murdered maid and stolen necklace are connected. As the dark deeds cast a shadow over the blazing mansion, it's up to Emma to shine a light on the culprit . . .

  When Bergen PI Varg Veum becomes involved in the disappearance of a young activist, he comes up against one village's particular brand of justice … The international bestselling, critically acclaimed Varg Veum series returns…
  `As searing and gripping as they come´ New York Times
  `One of my very favourite Scandinavian authors´ Ian Rankin
  `The Norwegian Chandler´ Jo Nesbø
  When Varg Veum reads the newspaper headline 'YOUNG MAN MISSING', he realises he's seen the youth just a few days earlier – at a crossroads in the countryside, with his two friends. It turns out that the three were on their way to a demonstration against a commercial fish-farming facility in the tiny village of Solvik, north of Bergen.
  Varg heads to Solvik, initially out of curiosity, but when he chances upon a dead body in the sea, he's pulled into a dark and complex web of secrets, feuds and jealousies.
  Is the body he's found connected to the death of a journalist who was digging into the fish farm's operations two years earlier? And does either incident have something to do with the competition between the two powerful families that dominate Solvik's salmon-farming industry?
  Or are the deaths the actions of the 'Village Beast' – the brutal small-town justice meted out by rural communities in this part of the world.
  Shocking, timely and full of breathtaking twists and turns, Pursued by Death reaffirms Gunnar Staalesen as one of the world's greatest crime writers.
