A Muslim mayor has just been elected in Granada. He’s a Democrat through and through. But a group of Christian extremists is ready to go to any lengths to get him to resign. And after kidnapping his daughter, they’re preparing to air the most horrific reality show in the history of television!

Somewhere on the circumpolar tri-continental expressway, the highway covering Eurasia, Africa and America, you’ll find Al Desir, the jewel of the socialist republic of Turdistan. And that’s where Gypsy’s heading. He’s got a rendezvous with his little sister, Bibi, who is there for research purposes to write a book on The White Wing (a sect that’s been forbidden since the revolution) and Sissiah the sorceress, who was recruited by the sect when she was just 10 years old because of her power to change faces…

We’ve seen Joe Telenko, we’ve seen Martha, and now we’re plunged into the day to day existence of Dillon, a Native American and father of the boy that Telenko killed in a tragic car accident. Dillon is now in a living hell. He’s lost everything. He’s miles from his homeland, pushed to the margins of an inhospitable society. And he’ll do anything to eliminate Joe Telenko, the source of all his woes.

Martha could have chosen another man. In that dump where she grew up, they were all falling at her feet. Because of her legs, actually – dancer’s legs. But she loved Joe Telenko, a guy who drank too much and drove too fast. And ever since the accident, it’s over. Just like life. These days, Martha chews over her hatred in a wheelchair. While Joe slogs around New York’s shadiest neighborhoods in his taxi, she creeps around the house, rummaging through his things and reading his journal, just to get an idea of what his life is like. Nothing particularly surprising: some girl he hooks up with when he’s got enough cash to get her drunk, visits to Arthur the medic, a tachycardia problem and a few notes like “I’m going to kill her.” That’s right. Joe wants Martha’s head on a platter, and Martha herself would like to see Joe croak. The only reason they don’t separate is because each of them hopes to one day gaze down on the corpse of the other…

Telenko, a New York taxi driver, spends his days ferrying around the dregs of society in one of the city’s roughest neighborhoods. He has an obsessive fear of dying like a guy he saw in a film, who’d hear his heart stop every 15 beats.
Because Telenko himself has a tired heart. He has a minor case of tachycardia and the odd extra systole, not helped by his stressful job and the constant abuse from his wheelchair-bound wife, Martha: “You don’t divorce a wife in a wheelchair, Telenko!”
She’ll get what’s coming to her, no doubt. Just like that slut who just got in his taxi who’s fooling around with some other guy right under her decrepit old husband’s nose.
So he decides to kill Martha.
But you gotta have some guts to kill your wife in cold blood. Especially when she’s got a nasty surprise in store…

A monstrous sea serpent is terrorizing the Fjördland, destroying one fishing boat after another, eating all on board, and keeping the Vikings from going on their pillaging expeditions. All hope seems lost until a stranger with a dark past and a score to settle with the gods shows up and offers to hunt down and slay the Krökken for a thousand silver talents. Soon a ragtag group of would-be monster hunters boards a drak and, against a divine, ominous Nordic background of lakes and mist and mountains, sets sail on a perilous mission not all will survive.

Lord Nelson, Lady Nelson and Jade continue to enjoy their ménage à trois as they travel to Africa. Their boat is savagely attacked by the natives as they go up river, deeper into the heart of this vibrant but mysterious continent. But is this just an act of pure brutality? Or is there another reason, perhaps one connected to that black pearl that Jade wears in her ear, a pearl that exactly matches that of their goddess? This is the beginning of a second cycle of the grippingly exotic adventures of Jade, the mistress of the eminent Lord and Lady Nelson.

Paris, 1843. The incredible case brought by Count Skarbek against the rich art dealer Northbrook continues, with new revelations surging forth by the day. The judge seems to have decided in favor of Skarbek—alias Louis Paulus, the famous painter who disappeared more than a decade before—when yet another shockwave is sent through the courtroom, in the form of composer Frederic Chopin, who has his own take on this tale of murder and double-crossing.

Our story starts in Washington, 1870. Matthew Montgomery has an important post at the Ministry of Defense. He’s rather an inflexible man who always respects the rules, which is why he warned his daughter, Helen, not to leave with that idiot, Glover. Of course, she did it anyway, and now she wants to come back and expects to be pardoned. But when Matthew arrives home the night of his Helen’s return, he opens the door to find his wife and daughter slaughtered in the hallway, and a strange star engraved on his daughter’s breast. His whole life is turned upside down. Traumatized, he starts out on the trail of the killers, with just one clue to help him on his way: a name – Jason Cauldry, from Topeka. Matthew wants to know why some stranger came such a long way just to etch that damn star onto his daughter’s body, so he sets off on a long journey, crossing the Appalachian mountains and the Mid-West, all the way to Topeka. But what will he find there?

Hot on the heels of the assassination of the Mayor of Barcelona, incidentally right after he’d handed over incriminating evidence of all the town’s bigwigs to the journalist Lucia Lopena, Cébes steps up to the mark. And he’s as corrupt as corrupt can be. Within a few days, Lucia is kidnapped. And I think we all know why. At the heart of all this upheaval, remains the “Double Eagle,” the coin that Jazz was blackmailed into obtaining in the previous chapter. He’s beginning to realize the implications of the recent events in his life, and so he goes out looking for one thing, and one thing only… not power, not money… revenge.
