A dashing private detective enters the glamorous and grimy world of the Cannes Film Festival to find a missing starlet in this “fast and clever” mystery (Library Journal). Enigmatic Englishman Patrick de Courvoisier has left his troubled past behind for a life of leisure on a houseboat in the Old Port of Cannes. But for a man known as Le Limier, or The Fixer, leisure is only amusing for so long. Luckily, trouble has a way of finding him—even in the South of France. As the Cannes Film Festival gets into full swing, the resort town is overrun with Hollywood types and everyone is abuzz about actress Angele Valette’s new movie The Black Pearl—funded by Russian oligarch Vasily Chapayev, owner of the famous pearl for which it’s named. But when Angele disappears, having last been seen at the film’s launch party on Vasily’s yacht, Le Limier is called upon to find her. As Patrick questions all those involved with the movie, he discovers the dirty truth behind the silver screen. And when he finds a dead body on his boat, Patrick must solve the case—and clear his name—before he’s given a lifetime of leisure behind bars. “Courvoisier is a dashing, sophisticated hero, and with an action-packed plot, filled with violence and shocking twists, this page-turner will more than satisfy fans of jet-setting suspense.” —Booklist

AN INDIE NEXT PICK!Jennifer E. Smith meets The Fangirl's Guide to the Galaxy in Lily Anderson's Not Now, Not Ever, a deliciously nerdy companion to The Only Thing Worse than Me Is You ONE OF Paste's BEST YOUNG ADULT BOOKS IN NOVEMEBER 2017"A wonderful book." ―School Library JournalElliot Gabaroche is very clear on what she isn't going to do this summer. 1. She isn't going to stay home in Sacramento, where she'd have to sit through her stepmother's sixth community theater production of The Importance of Being Earnest.2. She isn't going to mock trial camp at UCLA.3. And she certainly isn't going to the Air Force summer program on her mom's base in Colorado Springs. As cool as it would be to live-action-role-play Ender's Game, Ellie's seen three generations of her family go through USAF boot camp up close, and she knows that it's much less Luke/Yoda/"feel the force," and much more one hundred push-ups on three days of no sleep. And that just isn't appealing, no matter how many Xenomorphs from Alien she'd be able to defeat afterwards.What she is going to do is pack up her determination, her favorite Octavia Butler novels, and her Jordans, and run away to summer camp. Specifically, a cutthroat academic-decathlon-like competition for a full scholarship to Rayevich College―the only college with a Science Fiction Literature program, and her dream school. She’s also going to start over as Ever Lawrence: a new name for her new beginning. She’s even excited spend her summer with the other nerds and weirdos in the completion, like her socially-awkward roommate with neon-yellow hair, and a boy who seriously writes on a typewriter and is way cuter than is comfortable or acceptable.The only problem with her excellent plan to secretly win the scholarship and a ticket to her future: her golden-child, super-genius cousin Isaiah has had the same idea, and has shown up at Rayevich smugly ready to steal her dreams and expose her fraud in the process.This summer’s going to be great.

Take a moon’s passing to get yeer nose clear. Dumb things, eat bongly moss. Makes their dung stink so high the clouds cry. Protects ‘em though. Nothin’ goes near.”Zac saw several more piles as they walked. “So not something to spread on your morning toast.” Everyone chuckled, especially Garlock. Then, he was suddenly silenced.Without warning a giant brown lizard flashed from the left and plunged its mouth over Garlock’s head. It jerked him off the road and into the forest. It had come on its hind legs, but now ran on all fours. Garlock, with head and shoulders smothered inside the beast’s huge mouth, flailed about furiously. His arms and legs stuck out like a bug being eaten by a lizard. As quick as it had come it vanished into the forest of green.Nusa sprang. As the lizard scurried over the moss, she leapt high, claws extended. With a chilling growl she landed on the slimy beast. It could not run under her weight and thrashed about, jerking Garlock side-to-side. At first, no one moved. Then Eryn dashed off into the spongy moss. Like a football player running through tires, she lifted her legs high, fighting to run. The teens stood frozen, peering through the trees, watching the battle. The giant salamander, its skin brown and smooth, covered in a film of slime to which moss and twigs stuck, lashed about as Nusa, riding its back, kept trying to bite into the neck but would shake her jowls and snarl. She kept the beast from running, but not from smothering Garlock, his head still inside the monster’s mouth. He kept reaching for his knife but the creature’s writhing tossed him like a dog with a rag doll. Eryn ran with sword drawn. Nusa finally sunk fangs deep into the neck. The slimy beast opened its mouth and shrieked a piercing scream. With a cough, it spit Garlock out onto the moss. He jumped to his feet gasping for air. He shook his head. Foamy slime flung out in all directions. Eryn finally arrived but did not know where to strike. Nusa held her bite. Garlock drew his sword from over his shoulder. Holding it high with point down, he thrust it into the monster’s head. The point sunk, going through into the spongy ground. The beast shrieked and squealed like a tortured pig. It jerked about with Nusa riding rodeo, claws and jaw set deep. Garlock put one knee over its mouth and gave his sword a violent twist. The tail thrashed about then twitched and quivered to a stop. Eryn stood, still holding her sword high, eyes wide.
