In the spring, as staff prepare the abbey ruins for summer visitors, they discover the unidentifiable remains of the body of a girl, her skull violently crushed. Twenty years later, present day. Retired detective Alan Narey is still haunted by the unsolved crime. Desperate to relieve her father's conscience DS Rachel Narey returns to the Lake of Menteith and unofficially reopens the cold case. With the help of police photographer Tony Winter, Rachel discovers that the one man her father had always suspected was the killer has recently died.

Fifth Business

Penguin Canada, 2005. Paperback. Pp: 257. Ramsay is a man twice born, a man who has returned from the hell of the battle-grave at Passchendaele in World War I decorated with the Victoria Cross and destined to be caught in a no man's land where memory, history, and myth collide. As Ramsay tells his story, it begins to seem that from boyhood, he has exerted a perhaps mystical, perhaps pernicious, influence on those around him. His apparently innocent involvement in such innocuous events as the throwing of a snowball or the teaching of card tricks to a small boy in the end prove neither innocent nor innocuous. Fifth Business stands alone as a remarkable story told by a rational man who discovers that the marvelous is only another aspect of the real. ISBN: 9780143051381. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Happy Alchemy

Viking, 1998. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 384. The "stunning verbal energy and intelligence" (The New York Times Book Review) of a beloved literary icon shine on in a new collection"Long may he continue to divert us", said The New York Times Book Review on its front page of Robertson Davies's national bestseller The Cunning Man. And even Davies's mourned death soon afterward, could not thwart that wish. For here, on the heels of his acclaimed posthumous work, The Merry Heart come another thirty-three pieces - most of them previously unpublished - that resonate with his vast erudition, warm wisdom, and rascally wit.In prose that evokes his own prescription for poetry - "every speech.as fully flavored as a nut or an apple" -he roves from Greek drama and eighteenth-century farce to contemporary set design, from the trouble with Hamlet as opera to the sheer delight of Lewis Carroll and "Dickens and Music". Davies disciples, theater buffs, and music lovers alike will find, in Happy Alchemy, a rare treat. ISBN: 9780670880195. Cond./Kwaliteit: Redelijk.

Hier maak ik mijn stad

Querido. Paperback. Pp: 240. De getraumatiseerde D-day-veteraan Walker kan niet terug naar zijn verloofde in Nova Scotia en zoekt zijn heil in de grote stad.

Terwijl Walker zijn leven weer op de rails probeert te krijgen, raakt Amerika steeds verdeelder. Tegen wil en dank is Walker er getuige van hoe de Amerikaanse droom in een nachtmerrie verandert: racisme viert hoogtij, vermeende communisten worden opgejaagd, de maffia maakt de dienst uit en de verstedelijking neemt dramatische vormen aan.Hier maak ik mijn stad is het verhaal van een goede man, door oorlogsgeweld gebroken, die alles op alles zet om het waarachtige terug te vinden, in de wereld en in zichzelf.
