|  | Maigret & the Toy Village by Andrew Sachs, Eileen Ellenbogen, Georges Simenon
`Peg Leg` Lapie, a crusty old sailor, is found mysteriously murdered in a most incongruous setting - a picturesque cottage a few miles outside Paris, where he lived attended by his young housekeeper, Felicie. Of all Maigret`s many battles against hardened criminals & recalcitrant witnesses, his encounters with Felicie are among the most challenging - the sight of her red hat trimmed with an iridescent feather is enough to give Maigret nervous shivers. For to her, lying is second, perhaps even first, nature AUTHOR: Andrew Sachs, Eileen Ellenbogen, Georges Simenon

 | Naked Empire by Terry Goodkind
The latest Sword of Truth novel from the multiple New York Times bestselling author a new, sprawling epic adventure focusing on the central figures of Richard and Kahlan.
You knew they were there, didn't you? Kahlan asked in a hushed tone as she leaned closer. Against the darkening sky, she could just make out the shapes of three black-tipped races taking to wing, beginning their nightly hunt. That was why he'd stopped. That was what he'd been watching as the rest of them waited in uneasy silence. Yes, Richard said. He gestured over his shoulder without turning to look. There are two more, back there. Kahlan briefly scanned the dark jumble of rock, but she didn't see any others. Lightly grasping the silver pommel with two fingers, Richard lifted his sword a few inches, checking that it was clear in its scabbard. A last, fleeting glimmer of amber light played across his golden cape as he let the sword drop back in place. In the gathering gloom of dusk, his familiar, tall, powerful contour seemed as if it were no more than an apparition made of shadows. Just then, two more of the huge birds shot by right overhead. One, wings stretched wide, let out a piercing scream as it banked into a tight gliding turn, circling once more in assessment of the five people below before stroking its powerful wings to catch its departing comrades in their swift journey west. This night they would find ample food.
