‎DEATH FROM THE WOODS AWARD WINNER‎

‎New York NY U.S.A.: Welcome Rain Publishers 2000. First edition so stated April 2000 with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket not price clipped in protective mylar cover. Aubert is a major French writer of thrillers. This is her first book to be translated into English. WINNER OF THE GRAND PRIX DE LITERATURE POLICIERE. Very small print run of the first English language edition. "In centering her thriller around a main character who is not only a quadriplegic but blind and mute as well French author Aubert sets herself a difficult task but she acquits herself brilliantly. While on vacation in Ireland 36-year-old Elise Andrioli is horribly injured in Belfast by a car bomb that kills her boyfriend and five others. Back at home in the suburbs of Paris the French cinema owner is confined to a wheelchair but she can still hear and think. Elise's astute thoughts together with the crisp dialogue of the people she encounters and her keen and often humorous commentary on their one-sided conversations with her fuel this dazzling whodunit. Befriended by Virginie an odd little girl who whispers terrifying observations about someone she's dubbed "Death from the Woods" Elise learns the grisly details of a series of child murders including that of Virginie's older half-brother Renaud. When the precocious child admits that she knows who the culprit is Elise is plunged into a dizzying universe. Virginie her parents and the investigator in pursuit of the killer all confide in her. As Elise makes physical progress from her single method of communicating-lifting an index finder to signal "yes"-to regaining some dexterity in her left hand and arm the plot becomes increasingly complicated. Elise suspects first one and then another of the adults in Virginie's world of committing the heinous crimes and finally she becomes a target herself. Throughout the intensely suspenseful story chock-full of unexpected twists and turns Aubert expertly captures the myriad frustrations of someone confined by severe physical limitations. Never stooping to melodrama or pity she uses Elise's marvelous sense of humor and intellect to create an unforgettable character.". First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Book.

‎THE MUSIC LESSON‎

‎New York New York U.S.A.: Crown Publishing Group 1999. Third printing with complete number line beginning with 3. Fine in fine dust jacket not price clipped in protective mylar cover. ""She's beautiful" writes Irish-American art historian Patricia Dolan in the first of the journal entries that form The Music Lesson. "I look at my face in the mirror and it seems far away less real than hers." The woman she describes is the subject of the stolen Vermeer of the novel's title. Patricia is alone with this exquisite painting in a remote Irish cottage by the sea. How she arrived in such an unlikely circumstance is one part of the story Patricia tells us: about her father a policeman who raised her to believe deeply in the cause of a united Ireland; the art history career that has sustained her since the numbing loss of her daughter; and the arrival of Mickey O'Driscoll her dangerously charming young Irish cousin which has led to her involvement in this high-stakes crime. How her sublime vigil becomes a tale of loss regret and transformation is the rest of her story. The silent woman in the priceless painting becomes for Patricia a tabula rasa a presence that at different moments seems to judge to approve or to offer wisdom. As Patricia immerses herself in the turbulent passions of her Irish heritage and ponders her aesthetic fidelity to the serene and understated pleasures of Dutch art she discovers in her silent communion a growing awareness of all that has been hidden beneath the surface of her own life. And she discovers that she possesses the knowledge of what she must do to preserve the things she values most." -- jacket . Later Edition. Hard Cover. As New/As New. Book.
