Marcel Proust

Ian Patterson

Since the original, prewar translation there has been no completely new rendering of the French original into English. This translation brings to the fore a more sharply engaged, comic and lucid Proust. IN SEARCH OF LOST TIME is one of the greatest, most entertaining reading experiences in any language. As the great story unfolds from its magical opening scenes to its devastating end, it is the Penguin Proust that makes Proust accessible to a new generation. Each book is translated by a different, superb translator working under the general editorship of Professor Christopher Prendergast, University of Cambridge.

Finding Time Again

In Search of Lost Time

A REASONABLE SUSPECT

The Mays 16

A KILLER WHO MUST KILL. A COP WHO WILL NOT JUDGE. NOTHING IS WHAT YOU THINK! Dexter Fortune and Gabriella Fernandez are back together and back to work, assigned to investigate the death of a wealthy businessman found naked in a luxury Manhattan hotel room. Even the Medical Examiner agrees the death could be considered "natural" except for one thing: A Signature. A Signature left at the crime scene to tell Fortune and Fernandez there's nothing "natural" about it. Even before Fortune and Fernandez can return to Midtown North Precinct to open a case file, a second wealthy businessman is discovered naked in a luxury hotel kitty-corner to where the first victim was found. Same MO. Same Signature. Same killer? As the body count rises and with the killer leaving no evidence, Fortune and Fernandez hit a dead end. Until the chance discovery of a horrific crime scene almost three decades old. Can this gruesome finding deliver answers the Detectives need to end the killer's vengeful spree? With New York City celebrating the Twelve Days of Christmas and the political pressure mounting, the clues lead Fortune and Fernandez to a killer neither Detective could imagine. A killer even Detective Dexter Fortune finds hard to blame. And for a cop, to forgive a killer, can be deadly. If you love Connelly, Kellerman, Baldacci, and J.D. Robb, you'll love Ian Patterson.
