B>Roy Grace, creation of the award-winning author Peter James, unearths a powerful criminal network in Find Them Dead./b>A Brighton gangster is on trial for conspiracy to murder, following the death of a rival crime family boss. As the jury file into Lewes Crown Court, twelve anonymous people selected randomly from fifty, there is one person sitting in the public gallery observing them with keen interest, and secretly filming them. Later, a group of the accused's henchmen sit around a table with the full personal details of each of the twelve jurors in front of them. They need to influence two of them - a jury can convict if directed on a 10-2 majority verdict but no less. But which two? When Roy Grace is called in to investigate a murder that has links to the accused and the trial, and the suspicion that an attempt has been made to intimidate jurors, he finds the reach and power of the accused's tentacles go higher than he had ever imagined.

So when her elderly friend Josephine persuades Pepper to accompany her on a trip to Europe, she jumps at the chance to change her routine. And when Pepper bumps (literally) into the handsome Finn in Lisbon, it seems as though she might have finally found what she's been looking for. But Pepper know all too well things are rarely as they seem. Her own quiet life hides a dark secret from the past.

Un Français, chauffeur de taxi à New-York.Après avoir réalisé des films et des séries pendant 20 ans, Benoit Cohen sent qu'il a besoin de prendre un nouveau départ. En 2014, il déménage pour New-York et décide de devenir chauffeur de taxi pour les besoins de l'écriture d'un scénario. En plongeant au cœur de la ville, en se nourrissant de la richesse de la métropole, il espère retrouver l'inspiration. Dans une école du Queens, il apprend les ficelles du métier, fait la rencontre de ses futurs collègues, migrants de tous pays à la recherche du « rêve américain », et affronte le labyrinthe administratif qui mène à la licence de taxi driver. Au volant de l'emblématique yellow cab, il arpente les rues de Big Apple, observe les visages de milliers de passagers et emmagasine les histoires. Benoit Cohen pensait tirer un film de cette aventure mais le projet se transforme finalement en un récit publié chez Flammarion. Cet ouvrage traversé de souvenirs personnels, de références cinématographiques et de réflexions sur le processus créatif, prend dorénavant la forme d'une bande dessinée grâce au talent de Chabouté. Une aventure sensible, profondément humaine, devenue un album au graphisme époustouflant qui rend un vibrant hommage à la plus célèbre des cités américaines.
