The No.1 bestseller in France, NIGHT is the thrilling new novel from award-winner Bernard Minier. The Commandant Servaz series The Frozen Dead is available now on Netflix. A woman murdered in a church in Norway. A collection of photographs on an oil rig in the North Sea. A young boy in a picturesque Austrian village. The three clues that suggest a serial killer has returned . . . Detective Kirsten Nigaard believes the signs point to none other than Julian Hirtmann, a serial murderer on the run. She turns to Toulouse cop Martin Servaz, who has a painful personal history with Hirtmann. Servaz hunted the elusive killer for many years until the trail went cold. Now they have a chance to bring him to justice at last. But soon the pair find themselves in a terrifying cat-and-mouse chase, not knowing who is chasing whom, and which of them might pay the ultimate price. Praise for Bernard Minier 'Over the past few years, France has produced some of Europe's most striking and original crime novelists. Bernard Minier is up there with the best' - The Sunday Times 'A super-accelerated version of a Hitchcock thriller, with thrills and shocks on nearly every page . . . Minier reels out lurid, quick and dirty prose, dirty enough to blacken the fingers as we read' - Spectator

Don't Turn Out the Lights

A Novel

By: Bernard Minier

You did nothing." Christine Steinmeyer thought the anonymous suicide note she found in her mailbox on Christmas Eve wasn't meant for her. But the man calling in to her radio show seems convinced otherwise. Bit by bit, strange things keep happening ... it's as if someone has taken control of her life. Everything holding Christine's life together crumbles until all that is left is an unimaginable nightmare. Martin Servaz is on leave in a clinic for depressed cops, haunted by his childhood sweetheart Marianne's kidnapping by his nemesis, the psychopath Julian Hirtmann. One day, he receives a key card to a hotel room in the mail--the room where an artist committed suicide a year earlier. Someone wants him to get back to work, which he's more than ready to do, despite his mandatory sick leave ... What if the people closest to us are not what they seem? What happens when someone takes control of your life and your relationships? And what is hiding in the darkness? Don't turn out the lights. If you do, prepare for the worst"--

The Frozen Dead

A Novel

By: Bernard Minier

A French cop and a young psychiatrist must untangle a perplexing murder in this “tense and disturbing” mystery debut—now a series on Netflix (Booklist, starred review). Saint-Martin-de-Comminges is a remote village nestled in the French Pyrenees, where winters are harsh and nothing ever happens. Until one morning when a group of workers discover the headless, flayed body of a horse, hanging suspended from the edge of a frozen cliff. That same day, just a few miles away, psychiatrist Diane Berg starts her first job at an asylum for the criminally insane. She is baffled by the director’s unorthodox methods, and alarmed to discover that drugs are disappearing from within its fortified walls. Commandant Martin Servaz, a charismatic city cop from nearby Toulouse, can’t believe he’s been called to such a backwater town over the death of an animal. But then DNA from one of the asylum’s most notorious inmates is found on the horse carcass . . . and a few days later the first human victim is found.

Don't Turn Out the Lights

A Novel

By: Bernard Minier

What if the people closest to us are not what they seem? What happens when someone takes control of your life and your relationships? And what is hiding in the darkness? In Bernard Minier's Don't Turn Out the Lights, you won’t see who’s coming after you. “You did nothing.” Christine Steinmeyer thought the anonymous suicide note she found in her mailbox on Christmas Eve wasn’t meant for her. But the man calling in to her radio show seems convinced otherwise. “You let her die. . . .” That’s only the beginning. Bit by bit, her life is turned upside down. But who among her friends and family hates her enough to want to destroy her? And why? It’s as if someone has taken over her life, and everything holding it together starts to crumble. Soon all that is left is an unimaginable nightmare. Martin Servaz is on leave in a clinic for depressed cops, haunted by his childhood sweetheart Marianne’s kidnapping by his nemesis, the psychopath Julian Hirtmann. One day, he receives a key card to a hotel room in the mail—the room where an artist committed suicide a year earlier. Someone wants him to get back to work, which he’s more than ready to do, despite his mandatory sick leave. Servaz soon uncovers evidence of a truly terrifying crime. Could someone really be cruelly, consciously hounding women to death?

An Introduction to Radio Astronomy

By: Bernard F. Burke,Francis Graham-Smith,Peter N. Wilkinson

Radio astronomy is an active and rapidly expanding field due to advances in computing techniques, with several important new instruments on the horizon. This text provides a thorough introduction to radio astronomy and its contribution to our understanding of the universe, bridging the gap between basic introductions and research-level treatments. It begins by covering the fundamentals physics of radio techniques, before moving on to single-dish telescopes and aperture synthesis arrays. Fully updated and extensively rewritten, the fourth edition places greater emphasis on techniques, with detailed discussion of interferometry in particular, and comprehensive coverage of digital techniques in the appendices. The science sections are fully revised, with new author Peter N. Wilkinson bringing added expertise to the sections on pulsars, quasars and active galaxies. Spanning the entirety of radio astronomy, this is an engaging introduction for students and researchers approaching radio astronomy for the first time.

The domestic market for small-scale chainsaw milling in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Present situation, opportunities and challenges

By: Guillaume Lescuyer,Paolo Omar Cerutti,Pitchou Tshimpanga,François Biloko,Bernard Adebu-Abdala,Raphaël Tsanga,Régis Ismael Yembe-Yembe,Edouard Essiane-Mendoula

Besides the business enterprises in Bandundu province that use small-scale logging permits (PCAs) illegally, there is a national artisanal sector composed of individual chainsaw millers who supply the domestic market and certain neighbouring countries. This sector is still essentially informal. Our year-long monitoring of markets and transiting points for chainsaw timber brought out the substantial development of this activity over the last 15 years. At present more than a million cubic meters of chainsaw timber are produced in DRC every year, of which 85% is to meet the national demand. The production in Roundwood Equivalents of chainsaw timber – estimated at 3.4 million cubic metres per annum – is 13 times higher than the total formal production of wood products in DRC. The domestic markets of Kinshasa and eastern DRC generate sales of over 100 millions US dollars per year and yield profits estimated at 25 million dollars. The local populations benefit most from chainsaw milling and receive close to 50 million US dollars per year. As for job creation, the rural and urban artisanal timber production sectors combined offered at least 25 000 direct jobs in the country.

Lucia

By: Bernard Minier

Un thriller nemaivăzut de la Millenium încoace." – L'Obs La Universitatea din Salamanca, un grup de studenți la Criminologie descoperă existența unui ucigaș care era sub radar de câteva decenii și care își pune în scenă victimele inspirându-se din picturile renascentiste. La Madrid, anchetatoarea Lucia Guerrero își găsește partenerul răstignit pe un Calvar și pornește pe urmele bărbatului supranumit „ucigașul cu lipici". Toți se vor confrunta cu propriul trecut, cu cele mai profunde frici și cu un adevăr mai abominabil decât toate legendele și miturile. Un festin literar pe care-l veți savura pe nerăsuflate și care are teama, misterul, teroarea și angoasa ca feluri principale. Pictura barocă este aperitivul incitant, iar mitologia — desertul opulent. "Lucia Guerrero are aceeași hotărâre de războinică obstinată ca și Lisbeth Salander a lui Stieg Larsson." – L'Obs "Legende tulburătoare, picture baroce, Metamorfozele lui Ovidiu, spirite tulburate: toate se aliniază într-o poveste complexă... și absolut terifiantă." – Le Journal de Quebec "Cititorii se vor bucura de noua călătorie oferită de acest maestru al thrillerului și cu siguranță se vor atașa de Lucia, puțina lumina dintr-o lume tenebroasă." – Le Figaro "Cred că, odată ce cititorii o vor cunoaște, o vor iubi pe Lucia la fel cum îl iubesc pe Martin Servaz. Nu se preface nici în acțiuni, nici cu emoțiile ei. Le trăiește pur și simplu, este autentică." – Bernard Minier
