Secrets and Love in French. A set of 3 books. The Girl and the Night + The Secret Life of Writers + Central Park

The Girl and the Night
December 1992.
Under mysterious circumstances, a student named Winka Rockwell disappears from the campus of a prestigious high school. They say she ran away with Alexis Clément, a teacher she was supposedly in love with. Only a... few people know the terrible secret: Winka couldn't have run away with Clément because he was murdered that same night.
May 2017.
The high school is celebrating its anniversary. Writer Thomas Degale returns to his hometown for a reunion. For 25 years he has been haunted by the mystery of Winka’s disappearance, of whom he was in love. And he is also haunted by his guilty conscience—he knows better than anyone under what circumstances Clément was killed. And he does not want these circumstances to come to light.
On the night of May 13 to 14, Thomas will unravel the mystery that has tormented him for a quarter of a century, albeit at a very dear price.
The Secret Life of Writers
Rafael Bataille is an aspiring writer who just can't seem to catch a break. His manuscript of the novel "Shy Peaks" does not attract publishers, and he receives rejection after rejection. In search of inspiration, he travels to Beaumont Island to find his idol—Nathan Fowles, the author of three incredible novels. The snag is that Fowles left the writing profession many years ago without explanation and has become a virtual hermit—he lives alone, does not give interviews, and refuses to communicate with anyone. However, Rafael is determined to uncover his secret. A Swiss journalist, Mathilde Monnet, is also interested in the writer, as she has come across strange photographs directly related to Fowles. While the two, each in their own way, try to get closer to the author's secrets, the peaceful island is shaken by a horrific murder—a woman's body is found crucified on an ancient eucalyptus tree in Beaumont, which the locals have nicknamed The Immortal. It was the old photos of the murdered Apolline Chapuy that Mathilde wanted to show to Fowles. So what is the hermit, who gave up writing, hiding?
Central Park
New York, Central Park. Alice wakes up on a bench and finds herself handcuffed to a stranger. It turns out the stranger is a jazz musician.
Neither he nor she understands how they ended up in such an extravagant situation.
Perhaps it is related to Alice's profession—she is a police officer and a couple of years ago investigated the case of the serial killer Eric Von.
Could it be that Von is alive and seeking revenge in this way?
There are more questions than answers. But Alice is confident that she can untangle this knot.
And by the way, it would be good to know who her new acquaintance is—something tells Alice that he is a dark horse.
