Foreign Rights Guide August 2012 – January 2013 Simon X. Rost: THE MEAN WHO NEVER SLEPT Historical/Crime Novel 464 pages 978-3-7857-6079-6 Hardcover November 2012 "Some day it may seem worth while to take up the story of the younger ones and see what kind of men and women they turned out to be." Mark Twain, in his epilogue to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer A great reunion with Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, and lovely Becky Thatcher! THE MAN WHO NEVER SLEPT is an unusual novel with wonderful protagonists. Much like Mark Twain's original, it is evocative, as suspenseful as a mystery, and at the same time nimble and humorous. July 1865. It has been years since Tom and his friend Huck rode down the river and tramped through the forests of St. Petersburg – years since he left town and made a name for himself as a detective at the famous Pinkerton Agency, even if he couldn't prevent President Lincoln’s assassination. Although Toms was not responsible for Lincoln’s death, he nevertheless feels guilty and hasn’t been able to sleep since. He is returning to his hometown to find peace and attend the wedding of his half brother, Sid and his childhood sweetheart Becky. Yet when he arrives, what awaits him is not a wedding celebration but Aunt Polly’s funeral. She was treacherously murdered. Actually, Tom has sworn off detective work forever, but that changes when he hears who is suspected of the crime: his best friend, Huckleberry Finn. "Exciting storylines, interesting and colorful characters, a portion of irreverence toward the authorities, and a pinch of pleasant humor make this debut novel a success."

Foreign Rights Guide August 2012 – January 2013 My name is Brown. Cat Brown Ralph Sander: CAT BROWN AND THE MONASTERY MURDERS Crime Novel 320 pages 978-3-404-16745-6 Paperback October 2012 Readers of Rita Mae Brown and Lilian Jackson Braun’s cat mysteries will appreciate CAT BROWN AND THE MONASTERY MURDERS. All hell has broken out in the “Inner Contemplation," an idyllic monastery hotel. On one of its nightly prowls, the monastery cat, Cat Brown by name, discovers a frightfully mutilated body. It is Michael Wilden, a hotel guest who had been creating a commotion, mostly with his choleric behavior. It is only on the following day that Cat Brown is able to steer Alexandra, a young travel journalist, to the scene of the murder. Together, they set out in search of clues – and soon find themselves in the killer’s cross-hairs. Ralph Sander has been a translator and author for many years. Although the author created a series of velvet-pawed heroes for his crime novels, Cat Brown is his first protagonist to be modeled after a real feline, Paulchen Panther, the Sander family cat.
