La suite de L'invité surprise du G7 Comment ne pas être effrayé par une voix qui vous menace chez vous ? Par un être surnaturel capable de projeter des objets et de vous frapper sans être vu... Quelquefois, il fallait tuer. Maquiller une mort en suicide ou en accident. Georges Delson le faisait pour la cause de ceux qui le couvraient d'or !

(Suite et fin de L'invité surprise du G7 et Le maître des circonstances) « La voix artificielle lança un nouvel appel de dissuasion à l'intention du terroriste qui venait d'apparaître complètement nu: « Libérez votre otage ou vous serez abattu dans soixante secondes. » La foule rassemblée à l'aéroport Washington-Dulles avait déjà été sommée de s'allonger ventre à terre et mains sur la nuque. Il ne faut jamais contrarier un robot tueur autonome... tout le monde sait ça ! » 2036.

« Quand je l'ai vu entrer dans la classe, plus jeune que mon père, plus beau que mon plus charmant cousin germain, j'ai compris tout de suite que j'avais un cœur qui pouvait battre à cent milles à l'heure. Je me suis aperçue, ce jour-là, que les hommes n'étaient pas toujours des oncles, des docteurs, des travailleurs, des messieurs ou de vieux curés dominants ! Romain, tu venais de t'approprier mon petit cœur d'écolière de première année.

What do a corpse, a painter, two smugglers, a clever ghost, a green parrot, a fashion show and a bank robbery have in common? Set in present-day Central America, a talkative parrot witnesses a crime; friendly spirits chaperone, shape, and direct their fellow characters in criminal pursuits, in romantic liaisons and in business endeavours, allowing them to make amends, and to right some of the wrongs of history through actions reminiscent of legendary Robin Hood. Simon Patrick, an artist, re-locates in Costa Rica.

Cheap Thrills takes place over the course of a single weekend, beginning with the incessantly stoned Ethan and his roommate Phil discovering the body of their weed dealer in a Vancouver alley alongside a box of porno magazines and crime noir paperbacks. Tasked by his eccentric boss with locating the money the dealer had been carrying, gang member Wynne Duncan is led to the two roommates. But things don't add up-for anybody. Cheap Thrills is about Vancouver, weed, lust, crime stories, a missing bag of money, an American conspiracy to invade Canada, and the death of a drug smuggler.

Diane is forty-eight years old and-according to her husband-boring...which is apparently the reason that he had an affair and left her. After taking the charge to heart, Diane decides to undertake a ribald and highly entertaining journey that will help her restore trust in herself and others. An astute commentary on women and girls, gender differences, and the curious institution of marriage in the twenty-first century, Autopsy of a Boring Wife is a wonderfully fresh and engaging novel of the pitfalls and missteps of an apparently "boring" life that could be any of ours.

God is a comatose, two-mile-long tourist attraction at a Florida theme park-until a conniving judge decides to put Him on trial in The Hague for crimes against humanity.

It’s the end of summer 2003. George W. Bush has recently declared the mission in Iraq accomplished, the unemployment rate is at its highest in years, and Martha Stewart has just been indicted for insider trading. Meanwhile, somewhere in the Midwest, Troy Augustus Loudermilk (fair-haired, statuesque, charismatic) and his companion Harry Rego (definitely none of those things) step out of a silver Land Cruiser and onto the campus of The Seminars, America’s most prestigious creative writing program, to which Loudermilk has recently been accepted for his excellence in poetry.

Rejoice! A new messiah has come, and her name is Julie. Born to Murray Katz, the solitary (and celibate) keeper of an abandoned lighthouse on the Jersey shore, our protagonist arrives on Earth boasting supernatural abilities evocative of her divine half-brother, Jesus. As a child, she revels in her talent for walking on water, resurrecting dead crabs, and treating fireflies as luminous alphabet blocks. But after she reaches adolescence, her life becomes as challenging and ambiguous as any mortal's.
