The Flaneur of Paris


This book gives us glimpses of literary Paris before and during the First World War. We have a guided tour of Auteuil, where Apollinaire spent his saddest days. We meet Monsieur Lehec the bookseller, who loved his books so much that 'he could bring himself to sell them only to the few he deemed worthy of acquiring them' and Liseux the publisher, who, when asked his political views, replied: 'I am a republican, but of the republic of letters.'The Flaneur of Paris was published in the year of Apollinaire's death. More than a century later, it makes its debut in English, elegantly translated by Alex Andriesse. From the Cafe Napo to Ernest La Jeunesse's room, from an obscure Napoleonic museum to Monsieur Vollard's cellar, The Flaneur of Paris is a fragmented song, inviting us to walk down to the Seine. Alex Andriesse is a poet and has translated, notably, Chateaubriand's Memoirs from Beyond the Grave (NYRB Classics), Cristina Campo's The Unforgivable (NYRB Classics), and Jacques Dupin's Notched (Hermits United).

In the 1870s, the fate of an immigrant desperate to escape the factories of New York City collides with the ambitions and passion of two men in an enthralling and darkly sensual novel by the author of The First Witch of Boston. New York City, 1879. Eileen Maguire is a factory lacemaker limited by her humble circumstances and dreaming of a better life. Lawrence Barnard is the sole heir of one of Manhattan’s wealthiest families, but his means keep him confined by the expectations of society. When their paths cross one fateful winter night, Eileen and Lawrence become caught under the spell of the charismatic and enterprising Stanley Jones, who extolls the boundless opportunities awaiting in the West. The millinery shop Eileen dreams of owning with her sister is possible, as is the freedom to make his own choices that Lawrence so craves. What begins as an idealistic journey westward quickly becomes something unexpected and sinister once the group lands in Leadville, Colorado, a wild silver mining boomtown high in the Rocky Mountains. A love triangle emerges, pitting promises and passion against betrayals and lies. With their starry-eyed intentions gone terribly awry and forbidden desires threatening to undo them, it will take heartbreak and a shocking secret to shake Eileen and Lawrence out of their blinded stupors and remind them that their fortunes are entirely in their own hands. Set against the backdrop of the Gilded Age, this is a dark tale of dangerous, suspenseful seduction.

The Coterel Gang's Reign of Terror


In the turbulent heart of fourteenth-century England, the line between law and lawlessness was perilously thin. This compelling narrative uncovers the true story of the Coterel family — a lesser gentry household whose name became synonymous with criminal enterprise in medieval Derbyshire. Drawing on extensive archival sources, the book traces the rise of James Coterel and his brothers, exploring how social disruption, famine, and war shaped their transformation from respected landholders to leaders of one of the era’s most notorious gangs. Through vivid accounts of extortion, armed raids, kidnapping, murder and alliances with figures from every stratum of society, The Coterel Gang’s Reign of Terror exposes the brutal realities of medieval crime and justice. Far from the romanticised legends of outlaws, the Coterel gang’s story is one of opportunism, survival, and adaptation in a world where official authority was fragile and local loyalties ran deep. Discover how the Coterels navigated shifting allegiances, manipulated legal systems, and built networks that reached from the village church to the king’s own courts. Their exploits offer a rare window into the everyday violence, corruption, and resilience of medieval England.

As their collaboration spirals from Marcy’s modest Connecticut home to Francesca’s lavish Hamptons estate, both women discover that in the cutthroat world of publishing, every story has its price. With looming deadlines, a kidnapping plot gone awry, and more than one fraud to hide, their twisted partnership careens toward a surprise ending neither could have written. In this darkly comic page-turner, critically acclaimed author Deborah Levison skewers the publishing industry with razor-sharp wit. A Novel Crime asks just how far an aspiring writer will go to see her name on a book jacket—and what happens when the stories we tell start to write themselves.
