|  | The Cannibal by A. Guerard, John Hawkes
A surrealistic novel of Germany after the Second World War. In the bombed-out ruins of the little village of Spitzen-on-the-Dein, a faded nightclub singer plots with a ruined politician to murder the single American G.I. who rules over the region from his motorcycle. There are flashbacks to 1914, and many of the characters appear in both periods. In the end, Germany is reunited and victorious. AUTHOR: A. Guerard, John Hawkes

 | Who Killed Roger Ackroyd? by Carol Cosman, Pierre Bayard
French psychoanalyst Pierre Bayard argues that the crime in Agatha Christie's 1926 classic, THE MURDER OF ROGER ACKROYD, was never actually solved by her intrepid sleuth, Hercule Poirot. The supposed killer never confesses to the crime; the complexity of Christie's writing renders the mystery unsolvable; and, according to Bayard, Poirot is delusional throughout the novel. Thus Bayard conducts his own investigation, bringing about an alternate solution to Christie's enigmatic whodunit. AUTHOR: Carol Cosman, Pierre Bayard
