Edie Investigates (Google eBook)

By Nick Harkaway
$1.99
Model: FQ09YBG9fSgC
Published: Knopf, 2/2012
From the author of The Gone-Away World and the forthcoming Angelmaker—an exhilarating espionage murder-mystery E-short.

There has been a strange death in the quiet village of Shrewton: old Donny Caspian has lost his head. In the Copper Kettle tea rooms, Tom Rice, a junior nobody from the Treasury, puzzles over the details of the case. He has been sent by his superiors to oversee the investigation, but is he supposed to help or hinder? At the next table, octogenarian superspy Edie Banister nibbles a slice of cake and struggles not to become Miss Marple. But what is the connection between the two? Who killed Donny Caspian, and why?

Taking in Rice's present and Edie's daring past, from duels on shipboard to death in back alleys, EDIE INVESTIGATES is a superb short story from the incomparable Nick Harkaway.

Fifteen Poems (Google eBook)

By Leonard Cohen

Published: Everyman's Library, 2/2012
Published to coincide with his new album, OLD IDEAS, just on sale 1/31, this new book contains poems drawn from across his career and is accompanied by several never-before-published drawings. Leonard Cohen first made his name as a poet more than half a century ago and since then his prolific output of both poetry and music has made him an internationally revered figure. These fifteen poems drawn from across his career are accompanied here for the first time by his own illustrations. With its lyrical intensity and sensual immediacy, Fifteen Poems offers a potent distillation of the genre-crossing genius of one of the most admired artists of our time.
