Title: Desolation Island - Patrick O'Brian - book Summary : The Leopard's voyage is halted in the Sargasso Sea. The trade winds have died down. A calm sea immobilizes Captain Jack Aubrey's ship, while on board an unknown infection decimates the crew. Of the 343 sailors on board, only 200 are able-bodied. The ship's doctor, Stephen Maturin, fears the worst. They must dock urgently. So, when the flag of the Waakzaamheid, a Dutch ship with no fewer than 74 cannons, appears on the port side, Jack Aubrey understands that the situation is serious. His ship, a fourth-rate vessel, has only 50 artillery pieces and will not be able to repel a boarding. Would flight be the best course of action? But without a strong northeast wind, how can they escape the impending danger? The "Leopard" may well never reach Botany Bay and thus fail in the mission entrusted to it by the Admiralty: to deliver a cargo as precious as it is dangerous.

Title : The Man with the Blue Circles - Fred Vargas - Book Summary : Victor, bad luck, what are you doing outside?" For four months, this phrase has accompanied blue circles drawn in chalk, during the night, on the sidewalks of Paris. At the center of these circles, like prisoners, are lost objects: paperclip, candle, pigeon's foot... The phenomenon delights journalists and a few psychiatrists who theorize: a maniac? A gambler? Commissioner Adamsberg, however, is not laughing. These circles and their heterogeneous contents ooze cruelty. He knows it, he feels it: soon, the absurdly innocuous will become tragedy.

Title: The Apparition - Didier Van Cauwelaert - book Summary : On December 12, 1531, the image of the Virgin Mary appeared before witnesses on the tunic of Juan Diego, an Aztec Indian. Four centuries later, scientists discovered, in the eyes of this Virgin, the reflection of the witnesses of the apparition. Embarrassed by the disputes over interests that arose around the canonization of Juan Diego, the Vatican tasked Nathalie Krentz, an ophthalmologist who believed in nothing, with disproving the miracle.
