A big novel about a small town... When Barry Fairbrother dies in his early forties, the town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils...Pagford is not what it first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the parish council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity, and unexpected revelations? A big novel about a small town, The Casual Vacancy is J.K. Rowling's first novel for adults. It is the work of a storyteller like no other.

Saturnalia is the eighteenth book in Lindsey Davis' bestselling Falco series. It is the Roman holiday of Saturnalia. The days are short, the nights are for wild parties. A general has captured a famous enemy of Rome, and brings her home to adorn his Triumph as a ritual sacrifice. The logistics go wrong; she acquires a mystery illness -- then a young man is horrendously murdered and she escapes from house arrest. Marcus Didius Falco is pitted against his old rival, the Chief Spy Anacrites, in a race to find the fugitive before her presence angers the public and makes the government look stupid. Falco has other priorities, for Helena's brother Justinus has also vanished, perhaps fatefully involved once more with the great lost love of his youth. Against the riotous backdrop of the season of misrule, the search seems impossible and only Falco seems to notice that some dark agency is bringing death to the city streets.

When Falco and Helena hear that a young girl and a newly married woman have been murdered at Olympia, they step in to investigate.

Carnival in Venice, gondolas on the Grand Canal, colorful masks, jugglers, and musicians. Despite the cheerful scene, an ominous presence emanates from the old master oil painting that hangs in Professor Parmitter's office in Cambridge by the fireplace. On a bitterly cold January evening, the passionate art collector tells his former student Oliver about the dark power of the mysterious Venetian painting: it is said to have swallowed people, made the dead visible. A countess from Yorkshire wanted to buy the painting from the professor at any cost, convinced that her husband, who disappeared on their honeymoon, was trapped within it. Parmitter resisted, but soon regretted it. And Oliver is unaware that the story continues and the curse of the painting will pass to its next owner.

In the wealthy town of Ostia, Marus Didius Flaco appears to tbe enjoying a relaxing holiday. But when his girlfriend Helena arrives carrying a batch of old copies of the Daily Gazette, Falco is forced to admit to Petronius his real reasons for being there. (Back cover)
