Bonjour à tous !

Working out of her button shop in a Chicago brownstone, Josie Giancola has quietly become one of the country’s leading experts on buttons—antique buttons, jeweled buttons, artistic buttons.

But after the Button Box is ransacked and the actress is murdered, Josie’s cozy world is thrown into chaos. Homicide detective Nevin Riley is looking to her for clues, starting with the murder weapon—an antique button hook. But a killer has other ideas, like keeping Josie’s lips buttoned up...permanently.

... et un seul livre en français (mais quel livre : un roman devenu culte de la littérature fantastique/SF doublé d'un beau pavé !) également commandé sur internet :
✦ Les Tommyknockers, de Stephen King
Tard, la nuit dernière et celle d'avant
Toc! Toc! à la porte - les Tommyknockers
Les Tommyknockers, les esprits frappeurs...
Je voudrais sortir, mais je n'ose pas
Parce que j'ai trop peu
du Tommyknocker
Tout commence par les rythmes apaisants d'une berceuse ; et pourtant, sous la plume de Stephen King, les vers anodins se muent en une inoubliable parabole de l'épouvante, qui entraîne les habitants pourtant bien sages et terre à terre d'un paisible village dans un enfer plus horrible que leurs plus abominables cauchemars... ou que les vôtres. Une histoire fascinante et démoniaque que seul Stephen King pouvait écrire. Et lorsqu'on frappera à votre porte, par prudence, mettez la chaîne, si tant est qu'une chaîne suffise..
