$6.79

Brilliantly evoking the intrigue of the Cold War and 1950s London, John Lawton's thrilling sequel to "Black Out" takes Inspector Troy deep into the rotten heart of MI6, the distant days of his childhood, and the dangerous arms of an old flame: Larissa Tosca, late of the U.S. Army, later still of the KGB. It is April 1956, and an official visit to Britain by Soviet leaders Khrushchev and Bulganin is unexpectedly interrupted when a mutilated body is found under the hull of Khrushchev's ship in Portsmouth Harbor. Is the dead man a Royal Navy diver or the corpse of Arnold Cockerell, a furniture salesman with a mysterious source of income? As the mystery deepens, the inexplicable murders continue, leading Troy to an unforgettable discovery.

Elleen Gray by Caroline Constant, ISBN 0714839051

Extremely private and unprepossessing, Irish-born designer Eileen Gray (1878-1976) has remained an elusive subject despite her lasting influence. Known primarily for her highly original furniture and interior design, Gray realized nine buildings in her lifetime and recorded more than forty-five architectural projects in her archive, although until recently several of her built projects were attributed solely to her collaborator, Romanian architect Jean Badovici.

After briefly studying art in London and Paris, Gray settled in Paris in 1907 and began designing sumptuous lacquer furniture, wool carpets, and draperies that reflected the sensual luxury of traditional French decorative arts. Beginning in the mid-1920s, and influenced by the Modern Movement, she turned to architecture. Her most renowned project, the villa E. 1027 on the coast of southern France, interprets Corbusian spatial principles and forms and has become an important example of Modernist architecture.

Where You Belong by Mary Ann McGuigan, ISBN 0689812507

Sometimes where you belong isn't where you're told to be

October 11, 1963, the Bronx, New York: Fiona, her mother, and her three siblings have just been evicted from their apartment. Their furniture is out on the street, and the only place they can go is to Aunt Maggie's crowded apartment. For thirteen-year-old Fiona, being anywhere else is better than being there. Fiona ends up running, running until she's in a nearby all-black neighborhood -- a place her Irish-American parents speak of with scorn. But this is where Yolanda Baker lives, the only person at school who ever made Fiona feel that she mattered. Can this forbidden place, with this forbidden friendship, be where Fiona really belongs? A powerful story of interracial friendship set against the turbulent backdrop of the civil rights era.
