The Art of Murder in Brussels
Nicolas De Wever, a renowned antiques dealer in Brussels, is thrust into a deadly mystery when he discovers a hidden masterpiece. The find quickly turns perilous when an art historian examining the piece is murdered in Nicolas's locked shop, and the painting disappears. Teaming up with Inspector Léonie Martens, Nicolas delves into a labyrinth of clues that link the painting secrets from the Belgian revolution era. As they uncover the mysteries that weave through the fabric of Belgian history, their investigation becomes a dangerous race against time to catch a murderer who will stop at nothing to keep the past buried. "The Art of Murder in Brussels" blends art, history, and suspense in a gripping narrative that explores the transformative power of discovery and the shadows cast by forgotten secrets.
Histories of Women's Work in Global Sport
Sport has never been a man’s world. As this volume shows, women have served key roles not only as athletes and spectators, but as administrators, workers, decision-makers, and leaders in sporting organizations around the world. Contributors excavate scarce archival material to uncover histories of women’s work in sport, from swimming teachers in nineteenth-century England to national sports administrators in twentieth-century Côte d’Ivoire, and many places in between. Their work has been varied, holding roles as teachers, wives, and secretaries in sporting contexts around the world, often with diplomatic functions—including at the 1968 and 1992 Olympic Games. Finally, this collection shows how gender initiatives have developed in sporting institutions in Europe and international sport federations today. With a foreword by Grégory Quin and afterword by Anaïs Bohuon, this is a pioneering study into gender and women’s work in global sport.
