Par Chrystine Brouillet. 2022
Dès le début du confinement, Maud Graham affirme qu'il y aura recrudescence de féminicides, les victimes étant enfermées avec leurs…
bourreaux. Malheureusement, sa prédiction s'avère exacte. En constatant la vague grandissante de ces meurtres dans la province, elle se sent impuissante, pensant à ces femmes qu'on n'arrive pas à protéger. Lorsqu'un nouveau drame survient à Québec, Graham constate que ce féminicide dissimule une autre réalité, tout aussi violente et inquiétante. Car ce n'est pas seulement l'agressivité de certains conjoints qui culmine : la haine d'autres hommes, tapis derrière leurs écrans d'ordinateur, ne cesse de croître
Les Romaines
Par François Guilbault. 2022
"Une archiviste, Amandine de Pontrieux, découvre le manuscrit des Mémoires d'Agrippine la Jeune dans les archives secrètes du Vatican. C'est…
un document dont la valeur est inestimable, car il permet de connaître les arcanes du pouvoir du point de vue de la femme la plus puissante qui ait jamais existé dans l'Empire romain. Agrippine fut l'arrière-petite-fille d'Auguste, la petite-fille de Tibère, la nièce et l'épouse de Claude, la soeur de Caligula et la mère de Néron, tous empereurs romains. Comment détourner la haine de Tibère, celui qui fit assassiner son père? Que faire pour ne pas susciter la colère ou les avances de son frère débile, Caligula? Coucher avec lui? Le faire assassiner? Comment remercier son oncle Claude de l'avoir rappelée d'exil? En le mariant? Pourquoi pas, une fois la lascive Messaline éliminée... Être la femme la plus en vue de la Rome impériale comporte de nombreux dangers. Cependant, nul ne la fera déroger de son ambition première : asseoir son fils unique, Néron, sur le trône impérial. Un meurtre, celui de l'empereur Claude, rendra ce rêve possible."

À soixante-deux ans, Yvan reçoit un diagnostic sans appel. Alcoolique, en colocation avec une femme qu’il dédaigne et coupé de…
sa fille depuis près de vingt ans, il a raté sa vie. Ne lui reste que ce chat sans nom qu’il a recueilli et dont il redoute le sort après sa mort. Et s’il changeait ? Suffirait-il d’une décision pour remettre son existence sur les rails, ne serait-ce que pour les derniers milles ? À partir des choix d’Yvan se déploieront deux destins parallèles, le plaçant devant les conséquences de ses actes. Uchronie romanesque, récit d’une relation père-fille tumultueuse, J’étais un héros dresse en alternance deux portraits du même homme, prisonnier des rôles qu’il s’est imposés. Cette fable d’émancipation teintée d’espoir ose demander : « Peut-on tout pardonner ? »
Meurtres avec vue (GF #93e)(Une enquête de DreadfulWater)
Par Thomas King. 2021
À la suite d'une enquête non résolue qui a culminé avec la mort de certains de ses proches, Thumps DreadfulWater…
a quitté la police et la frénésie californienne. Décidé à gagner - tant bien que mal - sa vie comme photographe, il a opté pour la tranquillité des montagnes du Montana. Or, tout n'est pas si calme dans la ville de Chinook et la réserve voisine. De fait, à quelques jours de l'inauguration d'un casino et d'un complexe d'habitation dont les profits assureront un revenu substantiel à la communauté amérindienne, un corps est découvert dans une des luxueuses unités. Dès l'identification du cadavre - un employé de la compagnie responsable de l'installation du système de gestion informatique du casino -, l'intérêt des policiers locaux se porte sur Stanley Merchant. À leurs yeux, son rôle au sein des Aigles rouges, un groupe férocement opposé au projet, le désigne comme le suspect numéro un. DreadfulWater, qui ne croit pas un seul instant à la culpabilité du fils de la cheffe de bande, se sent dès lors obligé de s'impliquer. Il mènera donc discrètement sa propre enquête en suivant plutôt la piste informatique... bien que ce domaine de connaissances soit aux antipodes de ses champs de compétence !

But with her mom hard at work in a run-down sweatshop and three younger siblings to feed, Nura must spend her days earning money by mica mining. But it’s not just the extra rupees in her pocket Nura is after. Local rumor says there’s buried treasure in the mine, and Nura knows that finding it could change the course of her family’s life forever.Her plan backfires when the mines collapse and four kids, including her best friend, Faisal, are claimed dead. Nura refuses to believe it and shovels her way through the dirt hoping to find him. Instead, she finds herself at the entrance to a strange world of purple skies and pink seas—a portal to the opulent realm of jinn, inhabited by the trickster creatures from her mother’s cautionary tales. Yet they aren’t nearly as treacherous as her mother made them out to be, because Nura is invited to a luxury jinn hotel, where she’s given everything she could ever imagine and more. But there’s a dark truth lurking beneath all that glitter and gold, and when Nura crosses the owner’s son and is banished to the working quarters, she realizes she isn’t the only human who’s ended up in the hotel’s clutches. Faisal and the other missing children are there, too, and if Nura can’t find a way to help them all escape, they’ll be bound to work for the hotel forever. Set in a rural industrial town in Pakistan and full of hope, heart, and humor, Nura and the Immortal Palace is inspired by M.T. Khan’s own Pakistani Muslim heritage.

Aelis might be the only person standing between one of the greatest evils ever known and the rest of the world.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

She’s barely put the island and all those rumors about missing women behind her. And isn’t it odd that she remembers nothing at all about the night she left? And why is she suddenly filled with fear about the quarry pond behind the house?
