"Connaître mieux Hugo. Ou plutôt le connaître. Tel fut le propos de ma vie entière. Aller plus loin que le "témoin", voire à son encontre, plus loin que la légende du poète de la République, de la barbe blanche et de l'art d'être grand-père. Répudier Epinal. Retrouver le quotidien au-delà du génie. Admettre la sincérité du révolutionnaire et le comprendre bourgeois. Croire à sa générosité totale et constater son amour de l'argent. Le voir vivre en leur absolu ses passions amoureuses et asservir la meilleure des amantes.

Flowers is only in his late 30's, but he's been around the block a few times, and he doesn't think much can surprise him anymore. He's wrong. It's a hot, humid summer night in Minnesota, and Flowers is in bed with one of his ex-wives (the second one , if you're keeping count ) when the phone rings. It's Lucas Davenport. There's a body in Stillwater, two shots to the head, found near a veterans' memorial. And the victim has a lemon in his mouth.

Notes from the author: The following is a short story I wrote in the Elantris world back in January of 2006. There were always a few holes in Elantris where I decided not to include viewpoints or sections of explanation in the name of streamlining, particularly at the end. In the back of my mind, I knew what happened. This story talks about one of those holes; it is meant to be heard after you’ve finished the novel and takes place during the events of the climax.

The thrilling new novel in the number one New York Times best-selling series. In Southeast Minnesota, down on the Mississippi, a school board meeting is coming to an end. The board chairman announces that the rest of the meeting will be closed, due to personnel issues. “Issues” is correct. The proposal up for a vote before them is whether to authorize the killing of a local reporter. The vote is four to one in favor. Meanwhile, not far away, Virgil Flowers is helping out a friend by looking into a dognapping, which seems to be turning into something much bigger and uglier.

L'ouverture des archives russes, il y a dix ans, permet de porter un regard neuf sur les grands personnages de l'histoire soviétique, à commencer bien sûr par Staline, l'une des figures les plus énigmatiques de l'histoire du XXe siècle.

While nothing beats om-nom-nomming cookies, solving mysteries with friends comes pretty close.

At the local state university, two feuding departments have faced off on the battleground of science and medicine. Each carries their views to extremes that may seem absurd, but highly educated people of sound mind and good intentions can reasonably disagree, right? Then a renowned and confrontational scholar winds up dead, and Virgil Flowers is brought in to investigate...and as he probes the recent ideological unrest, he soon comes to realize he's dealing with people who, on this one particular issue, are functionally crazy.
