      Un llibre per fer venir ganes de llegir a lectors de 7 a 120 anys«És un llibre per a adults però també per a nens i avis. De fet, és un llibre per a tothom!»Joël DickerFalten pocs dies per a Nadal i la visita al zoo de la classe de la Joséphine ha estat una catàstrofe. Ningú no sap què ha passat exactament, però els pares de la nena estan decidits a descobrir-ho. Mentre la investigació avança, a poc a poc comprenem que una catàstrofe mai no arriba sola, que res no és el que sembla i que els esdeveniments poden fer un gir que ningú no s'esperava.La catastròfica visita al zoo ens manté en suspens fins al final. És una novel·la divertida i emocionant, plena de picades d'ullet a la nostra societat, la democràcia, l'educació inclusiva, i el paper que hi juguen els pares i els mestres.«El que més m'emociona, quan parlo amb els meus lectors, són les lectures col·lectives i compartides en família, entre amics, als clubs de lectura. Aquest és el meu intent d'escriure un llibre que pugui ser compartit per tots els lectors, tant és qui siguin i on siguin, mentre tinguin entre set i cent vint anys. Que pugueu llegir amb els fills, la parella, els pares, els veïns, els companys. Un llibre que us faci venir ganes de llegir i de fer llegir».JOËL DICKER

    • "Spectacular . . . drops the reader through one trapdoor into another" A.J. FINN It all starts with an innocuous curiosity: at the Hotel de Verbier, a luxury hotel in the Swiss Alps, there is no Room 622. This anomaly piques the interest of Joël Dicker, Switzerland's most famous literary star, who flees to the Verbier to recover from a bad breakup, mourn the death of his publisher, and begin his next novel. Before he knows it, he's coaxed out of his slump by a fellow guest, who quickly uncovers the reason behind Room 622's erasure: an unsolved murder. The attendant circumstances: a love triangle and a power struggle at the heart of Switzerland's largest private bank, a mysterious counter-intelligence unit known only as P-30, and a shadowy émigré with more money than God. A Russian doll of a mystery crafted with the precision of a Swiss watch, The Enigma of Room 622 is Joël Dicker's most diabolically addictive thriller yet. Praise for Joël Dicker "It's that most engaging of treats, a big, fat, intelligent thriller" SIMON MAYO "Dicker has the first-rate crime novelist's ability to lead his readers up the garden path" Sunday Express Translated from the French by Robert Bononno

      The delightful first title in a new collaboration with Channel 4's Walter Presents: a fast-paced comic mystery enriched by a deep love of books In the small town of Crozon in Brittany, a library houses manuscripts that were rejected for publication: the faded dreams of aspiring writers. Visiting while on holiday, young editor Delphine Despero is thrilled to discover a novel so powerful that she feels compelled to bring it back to Paris to publish it. The book is a sensation, prompting fevered interest in the identity of its author - apparently one Henri Pick, a now-deceased pizza chef from Crozon. Sceptics cry that the whole thing is a hoax: how could this man have written such a masterpiece? An obstinate journalist, Jean-Michel Rouche, heads to Brittany to investigate. By turns farcical and moving, The Mystery of Henri Pick is a fast-paced comic mystery enriched by a deep love of books - and of the authors who write them. Curley #108
