AN OFFICER AND A SPY
HARRIS, ROBERT
Paris. 1895. On a freezing January morning, the Jewish army officer, Alfred Dreyfus, is stripped of his
rank in front of a baying crowd of 20,000, and deported for life to Devil’s Island. Among those watching his
humiliation is a high-flying intelligence officer, the clever and resourceful Georges Picquart, whose
dangerous love affairs leave him wide open to blackmail. A few months later, Picquart discovers the
Germans still have a spy operating in France. He mounts a sophisticated surveillance operation to trap
the traitor. But the results are far more alarming than he ever expected, opening up a trail of corruption
and deceit that leads him all the way to the highest ranks of the French army and government. Now, in a
vividly-written secret memoir kept under lock and key for more than 100 years, Picquart brings to life the
Paris of the 1890s and tells the true story of a scandal that mesmerised the world.

OLD BETRAYAL: A CHARLES LENOX MYSTERY
FINCH, CHARLES
On a spring morning in London, 1875, Charles Lenox agrees to take time away from his busy schedule as
a Member of Parliament to meet an old protégé’s client at Charing Cross. But when their cryptic
encounter seems to lead, days later, to the murder of an innocuous country squire, this fast favor draws
Lenox inexorably back into his old profession. Soon he realizes that, far from concluding the murderer’s
business, this body is only the first step in a cruel plan, many years in the plotting. Where will he strike
next? The answer, Lenox learns with slowly dawning horror, may be at the very heart of England’s
monarchy. Ranging from the slums of London to the city’s corridors of power, the newest Charles Lenox
novel bears all of this series’ customary wit, charm, and trickery—a compulsive escape to a different time.
