After a significant loss, Edith Lane feels her life needs a change. Seeing a job ad, she applies for the position, which takes her from Ireland to Paris, where the charming bakery she was hired for is located. However, when it comes to Edie, the recipe for disaster doesn't need many ingredients: an unhealthy amount of wishful thinking and a dash of desperation are enough to create chaos. This is what happens when she realizes she won't be working in the city of her dreams, and that the bakery is an hour's train ride from the capital. Once there, there are many days when you think you've made the wrong choice, unaware of the mysteries of that strange place and the charm it holds for all who taste its delicacies. However, time and a secret hidden beneath the floorboards reveal not only an ancient story worth following, but also the path to finding the place where you truly belong

Morte na Cornualha

Morte na Cornualha

Translated title: Gabriel Allon #24 - A Death in Cornwall

Series: Book 24

Author: Silva, Daniel

Genre: Thriller / Crime

Year: 2025 | Pages: 400 | Origin: POR | BA Seq Num: 89515

Translated
Art restorer and spy Gabriel Allon arrives in London for a reception celebrating the return of a stolen Van Gogh, but is quickly drawn into a baffling murder investigation. The victim, Oxford professor Charlotte Blake, was found dead in a Cornish seaside village, and her murder seems linked to a serial killer. But a missing phone and a cryptic three-letter code lead Gabriel to uncover a deeper mystery.

Blake was searching for a looted Picasso worth over $100 million, and Gabriel's pursuit of the painting takes him from Cornwall to Corsica, with a team that includes a violinist, a master thief, and a former hitman. The chase culminates in a thrilling showdown at 10 Downing Street
As Margens da Guerra

As Margens da Guerra

Translated title: The Margins of War

Author: Montenegro, Aires

Genre: Short Stories

Year: 2025 | Pages: 126 | Origin: POR | BA Seq Num: 90004

The revisitation to which Aires Montenegro invites us, undertaken in the full maturity of emotion, has no parallel in contemporary Portuguese novels. If we exclude the mastery we owe to João de Melo in his novels about the colonial disaster, the historical period to which this testimony relates remains unaddressed, or is reduced to sparse haze of memory, with which we have avoided discomfort. The Margins of War is therefore, more than a mere exercise in self-revelation, the greatness to which fiction best ascends, and which ultimately reveals to us both the face of an author and those who follow in his footsteps
Misery

Misery

Author: King, Stephen

Genre: Horror

Year: 2025 | Pages: 352 | Origin: POR | BA Seq Num: 89998

Translated
Paul Sheldon is a famous romance novelist, made famous by the main character of his books, Misery Chastain. She made him a rich man - literally - but Sheldon realized it was time to turn the page and decided to 'kill' Misery. He did so with relief and even joy. Paul wants to write again, yes, but something different, something more authentic. At least for himself.

It was then that he suffered a terrible car accident and was rescued by Annie Wilkes, a former nurse who took him to her remote home with the intention of treating him. What Paul doesn't know is that Annie, his savior, is also his number one fan, the most fanatical and obsessed of all - and she is furious with what he did to Misery.

Wounded and unable to walk, completely at Annie's mercy, Paul is forced to write a new book to 'resurrect' the character, like a modern-day Scheherazade in the hands of a crazed psychopath who has long since ceased to distinguish reality from fiction.

Filled with complex psychological games between hostage and captor, Misery is a work of suspense and horror at its purest
Anjos e Demonios

Salem's Lot

Salem's Lot

Translated title: A Hora do Vampiro

Author: King, Stephen

Genre: Horror

Year: 2025 | Pages: 528 | Origin: POR | BA Seq Num: 89986

According to ancient literature, a vampire can't simply enter someone's home and suck their blood.

Fifty years after the first edition, this remains the story of Ben Mears and Mr. Barlow, and also the story of a quiet town where nothing ever happens... Or perhaps not quite, for Ben has returned to Jerusalem's Lot hoping that entering the Marsten House, an old mansion long the subject of dark rumors, will help him exorcise his own demons and provide inspiration for his next novel. 'Salem's Lot' and its whitewashed clapboard houses, the tree-lined streets, the bells atop the church... However, when two boys venture into the nearby woods and only one emerges, Ben suspects the town may be shrouded in something more sinister. In truth, his town is under siege by dark forces, and only he and a small retinue of allies can stand against the Evil growing there
