Sinopsis

A British judge and a naked corpse put French inspector Henri Castang on delicate, dangerous ground in this mystery from the Edgar Award–winning author. 
 
When a local businessman’s car is stolen, he’s more concerned about what’s inside—the body of his just-deceased grandmother. Then Parisian police Insp. Henri Castang is called to investigate the mysterious appearance of a woman’s body found in a car. But just when it seems like his latest case is about to solve itself, Henri discovers a baffling murder wrapped up in a simmering crisis of international relations.  
 
On holiday with his family in France, a British high court judge found a naked corpse in the boot of his Rolls Royce. Having made the discovery upon arriving for dinner at a three-star Michelin restaurant, more than a few reputations are on the line. Now Castang must unravel a web of grim coincidences, lies, and political intrigue before another victim gets the boot. 
 
This mystery from the author of the popular Inspector Van Der Valk novels combines “solid police work” with “the ever-surprising Freeling prose” for a cunning tale of crime detection set in the City of Light (Kirkus Reviews). 
 
“Freeling writes like no one else.” —Los Angeles Times

The intervention of a quadriplegic saved Nguyen Huu Minh from a mugging on the streets of Baltimore while attending Johns Hopkins University. That man’s faith 
changed Minh’s life. 
Minh’s new faith brings him into conflict with his father’s business interests in Vietnam and the mysterious powers supporting his father. Estranged from his father 
and shunned by his family, Minh learns to support himself by working as a translator for Americans coming to Vietnam during the waning years of the war. 
Finally, with the fall of Vietnam, another man’s intervention provides Minh with what he needs to flee the doomed country. With a boat, a crew, and a group of passengers, including a young French nun, Sister Carlene, and the thirty-five orphans she has charge of, Minh starts his escape to Thailand. 
But Minh learns that there are some enemies that cannot be fled from; instead, these adversaries must be faced and resisted. He discovers that he is in the middle of a war, not with flesh and blood, but with spiritual powers bent on destroying him and all those seeking escape. 
Minh discovers what intervention is when he must risk everything to save those he loves. In the process, he experiences the reality of the spiritual war that rages unseen by most. 
Charles de Andrade’s books draw on places he has lived, people he’s met, friends he’s made, and stories he’s been told.

Dean's got a bit of a problem. 
Just three days into his stint minding the family shop and already there's a jagged hole in the wall where the new smart-drugs vending machine used to be, courtesy of the local psychopathic heavy. But as the clock ticks down on his father's return, hope appears in the guise of an enigmatic beauty, a girl stepped straight out of Dean's dreams, proposing a wild and improbable plan that could just change all their lives – maybe even for the better. 
Pale Kings is a sharp-witted and comical journey into the crazy world of contemporary fine art, the illicit potential of virtual reality gaming, and the neurotic susceptibilities of robotic guard dogs. 
This novella is a prequel to MUNKi, the first of the Merrywhile books. Set in the near-future, this is an ongoing series of sci-fi stories – novellas, short stories and full length novels – with a loose chronology, but which can be read in any order. They involve various characters and their dealings with Merrywhile Industries, a giant tech company with ambitions to take humanity to the next level – whether it wants to go there or not.
