Absinthe : a thriller / by Eekhaut, Guido,1954-author.(CARDINAL)755899;
"Walter Eekhaut, a veteran of the Belgian police force who has a problem with authority, has been dispatched to Amsterdam to aid in investigating the activities of a well-connected Russian oligarch, with ties to Putin. Some of the Russian's business is legitimate, but some may well not be. Seconded to Chief Superintendent Alexandra Dewaal of the Dutch security service, he begins to learn about the city's shady underside. Eekhaut is at once pulled into another case, the murder of a young leftist dissident, alleged to have stolen a sensitive list from the Amsterdam offices of an ultra-right-wing political party-a list with the names of secret donors. The hunt for the killer leads to a knot of black money interests and illegal dealings that pit the Russian mob and Dutch politicians and business leaders against the police and anyone else who tries to get in their way"--Jacket flap.

Opium and absinthe: a novel / by Kang, Lydia,author.(CARDINAL)349637;
"From the bestselling author of A Beautiful Poison comes another spellbinding historical novel full of intrigue, occult mystery, and unexpected twists. New York City, 1899. Tillie Pembroke's sister lies dead, her body drained of blood and with two puncture wounds on her neck. Bram Stoker's new novel, Dracula, has just been published, and Tillie's imagination leaps to the impossible: the murderer is a vampire. But it can't be, can it? A ravenous reader and researcher, Tillie has something of an addiction to truth, and she won't rest until she unravels the mystery of her sister's death. Unfortunately, Tillie's addicted to more than just truth; to ease the pain from a recent injury, she's taking more and more laudanum, and some in her immediate circle are happy to keep her well supplied. Tillie can't bring herself to believe vampires exist. But with the hysteria surrounding her sister's death, the continued vampiric slayings, and the opium swirling through her body, it's becoming increasingly difficult for a girl who relies on facts and figures to know what's real - or whether she can trust those closest to her." --

The absinthe earl / by Fisher, Sharon Lynn,author.(CARDINAL)404877;
"Miss Ada Quicksilver, a student of London's Lovelace Academy for Promising Young Women, is spending her holiday in Ireland to pursue her anthropological study of fairies. She visits Dublin's absinthe bars to investigate a supposed association between the bittersweet spirit and fairy sightings. One night a handsome Irishman approaches her, introducing himself as Edward Donoghue. Edward takes absinthe to relieve his sleepwalking, and she is eager to hear whether he has experience with fairies. Instead, she discovers that he's the earl of Meath, and that he will soon visit a mysterious ruin at Newgrange on the orders of his cousin, the beautiful, half-mad Queen Isolde. On learning about Ada's area of study, he invites her to accompany him. Ada is torn between a sensible fear of becoming entangled with the clearly troubled gentleman and her compelling desire to ease his suffering. Finally she accepts his invitation, and they arrive in time for the winter solstice. That night, the secret of Edward's affliction is revealed: he is, in fact, a lord in two worlds and can no longer suppress his shadow self. Little does either of them realize that their blossoming friendship and slowly kindling passion will lead to discoveries that wrench open a door sealed for centuries, throwing them into a war that will change Ireland forever."--Amazon.com.

S is for Southern : a guide to the South, from Absinthe to Zydeco / by DiBenedetto, David,editor.(CARDINAL)348039;
"The American South is a diverse region with its own vocabulary, peculiarities, and complexities. Even for those born in the South, the local nuances can sometimes be confounding. Tennessee whiskey may technically be bourbon, but don't let anyone in Kentucky hear you call it that. And while boiling blue crabs may be the norm across the Lowcountry in South Carolina and Georgia, try that in front of Marylanders and they're likely to put you in the pot. Now, from the editors of Garden & Gun -- the award-winning magazine that celebrates the best of the South -- comes this encyclopedia of Southern life, culture, and history. Covering age-old traditions and current zeitgeists, S is for Southern contains nearly five hundred entries spanning every letter of the alphabet, including signature essays from notable Southern writers and personalities. Informative, sometimes irreverent, and illustrated throughout, S is for Southern is a must-read for all fans of the region and culture enthusiasts"--Inside flap of book jacket.

The raven lady / by Fisher, Sharon Lynn,author.(CARDINAL)404877;
In the aftermath of Ireland's battle with her ancient enemies, Queen Isolde orders her cousin, smuggler Duncan O'Malley, to assume the throne of fairy as King Finvara. He's a fish out of water when it comes to nurturing the alliance between Ireland's mortal and fairy peoples. And the queen wants him to wed the daughter of Ireland's enemy, the king of Icelandic shadow elves, to help keep the peace. But the Irish think of the elves as goblins, and Finvara refuses. Elven princess Koli, affronted by the king's rejection-along with his decision to bring her to court as little more than a captive-vows vengeance. Shortly after her arrival, she uncovers a plot that would bring swift satisfaction. A dark and powerful fairy lord, Far Dorocha, wants to take Finvara's crown and lead both the fairy and elven people to war against the Irish. And he wants Koli to help him. It's the perfect setup for revenge, but Koli soon discovers that Finvara's not the haughty lord she believed him to be. And as she navigates treacherous waters inside the court, she gets glimpses of the magic and passion that have been slumbering inside her. She must choose a side in the new battle for Ireland-will it be the fearsome father she has served for nearly a century, or the fairy king who has helped awaken her to herself?
