|title=The Mountain Story
|rating=4
|genre=Thrillers
|summary= Wolf’s mother is dead. His father is inept at best, a dead beat at worst. Wolf’s one joy in life is his best friend, Byrd. The two frequently escape their homes and hike up a nearby mountain, revelling in the freedom and closeness to nature. But Byrd dies, and a year later, on the date of his 18th birthday, Wolf decides to kill himself – heading up to the same mountain where he spent so much time happy. However, Wolf soon meets three women – Bridget, Nola and Vonn. Lost on the mountain, they will spend days fighting to survive and to escape the wilderness. One will not make it down alive.

|title=Loser's Corner
|rating=4
|genre=Thrillers
|summary=Meet Georges Crozat. He's a policeman in Paris, who boxes on the side. After a bout that leads to an almost embarrassing victory, he is made two offers – one from a clearly corrupt man behind the scenes in the sport, who seems to offer a few thrown fights for Georges, then some kind of status as assistant – training, guiding, profiteering; the other comes from a man known always as ''the Pakistani'' (or an unkind abbreviation of that), who has a friend of a friend who wants someone to do an enemy a mischief with their fists. Georges doesn't take too long to choose the latter. In alternating chapters, however, we're in the 1950s, and a rookie to the forces, Pascal Verini, is being shipped out to Algeria to work on the civil war causing the republic to break away and become independent from France. Like Georges, he finds his situation one which also causes what may be misguided violence, even if he has a very different attitude to it.
