Miss in Paris
An invitation for a wonderful walk in Paris, as seen through the eyes of an artist deeply in love with the city. It is a set of stolen moments featuring radiant, elegant women in the city that was created for them, and the first book of a passionate aesthete, an artist whose linework and colors can hypnotize. The book is in two parts: First, on heavy stock paper, there are full-color spreads. Second, these are mixed with illustrations showing the artist's technique, with text (French and English) explaining technical details and his sources of inspirations.

Inspired by the novels of Jane Austen, this new mystery series set in 19th-century London introduces the charming and resourceful Rosalind Thorne, a woman privy to the secrets of high society—including who among the ton is capable of murder... The daughter of a baronet and minor heiress, Rosalind Thorne was nearly ruined after her father abandoned the family. To survive in the only world she knew, she began to manage the affairs of some of London society’s most influential women, who have come to rely on her wit and discretion. So, when artistocratic wastrel Jasper Aimesworth is found dead in London’s most exclusive ballroom, Almack’s, Rosalind must use her skills and connections to uncover the killer from a list of suspects that includes Almack’s powerful patronesses and her former suitor Devon Winterbourne, now Lord Casselmaine.

A Purely Private Matter
The Rosalind Thorne Mysteries—inspired by the novels of Jane Austen—continue as the audacious Rosalind strives to aid those in need while navigating the halls of high society… Rosalind Thorne has slowly but assuredly gained a reputation as “a useful woman”—by helping respectable women out of some less-than-respectable predicaments. Her latest endeavor is a tragedy waiting to happen. Desperate Margaretta Seymore is with child—and her husband is receiving poisoned pen letters that imply that her condition is the result of an affair with the notorious actor Fletcher Cavendish. Margaretta asks Rosalind to find out who is behind the scurrilous letters. But before she can make any progress, Cavendish is found dead, stabbed through the heart. Suddenly, Rosalind is plunged into the middle of one of the most sensational murder trials London has ever seen, and her client’s husband is the prime suspect. With the help of the charming Bow Street runner Adam Harkness, she must drop the curtain on this fatal drama before any more lives are ruined.

A vida é um romance
"Há seis meses [...], minha filha de três anos, Carrie Conway, foi sequestrada enquanto brincávamos de esconde-esconde em meu apartamento de Williamsburg." -- Assim começa o relato de Flora Conway, renomada romancista galesa radicada no Brooklyn. Toda a polícia de Nova York é acionada, mas o desaparecimento da menina não parece ter qualquer explicação. Do outro lado do Atlântico, na França, um escritor amargurado e recluso é o único a conhecer a solução para o mistério. E Flora vai atrás dele. Neste romance único, Guillaume Musso nos mergulha em um enredo perturbador, que tira sua força do poder dos livros e da energia vital dos personagens literários. Manejando nossa percepção como numa sala de espelhos, borrando os limites do real e do irreal, o autor deixa seus leitores sem fôlego e mantém o suspense até o fim.
