Finalement!
        

Encore un mois d’hiver au Québec


Selon le météorologue de renommée mondiale, Bernard S. Turgeon, un vortex polaire causera la prolongation de l’hiver québécois pendant encore un mois soit jusqu’aux premiers jours de mai.
Se produisant habituellement dans la haute et moyenne troposphère et dans la stratosphère, le vortex polaire, aussi appelé tourbillon, est causé par la rencontre de deux fronts de pression différente soit une zone de haute pression et un front froid de basse pression. Celui qui nous frappera arrivera en provenance de l’antarctique et persistera pendant au moins quatre semaines sur toutes les régions du Québec. Il entrainera des chutes de neige allant de 10 à 25 cm par jour ainsi que des températures radicalement sous les normales de saison, on parle même de -20 C pour plusieurs des journées à venir. Les bottes et manteaux d’hiver sont donc toujours de mise.
Les spécialistes médicaux consultés prédisent une hausse de prescription d’antidépresseurs dans la province occasionnée par la baisse de moral marqué chez la majorité des gens habitant le Québec, les compagnies de voyage s’attendent à une forte augmentation de la demande pour les vols à destination des pays du Sud et, de leur côté, les départements de natalité des hôpitaux prévoient un baby boom dans les dix prochains mois puisque les couples devront demeurer à l’intérieur pour les prochaines semaines.  
Cette augmentation de naissance aura d’autres conséquences fâcheuses puisqu’une pénurie de logement est à prévoir dans les villes de Montréal et les environs, Québec, Sherbrooke, Trois-Rivières et Saguenay.
Gardons le moral…

In a decrepit, long-empty New York building, Lieutenant Eve Dallas’s husband begins the demolition process by swinging a sledgehammer into a wall. When the dust clears, there are two skeletons wrapped in plastic behind it. He summons his wife immediately—and by the time she’s done with the crime scene, there are twelve murders to be solved.
The place once housed a makeshift shelter for troubled teenagers, back in the mid-2040s, and Eve tracks down the people who ran it. Between their recollections and the work of the force’s new forensic anthropologist, Eve begins to put names and faces to the remains. They are all young girls. A tattooed tough girl who dealt in illegal drugs. The runaway daughter of a pair of well-to-do doctors. They all had their stories. And they all lost their chance for a better life.
Then Eve discovers a connection between the victims and someone she knows. And she grows even more determined to reveal the secrets of the place that was called The Sanctuary—and the evil concealed in one human heart. (700 pages)

Kill Alex Cross was "Patterson at the top of his game" (Washington Post). Alex Cross, Run is even better. DON'T LOOK, ALEX CROSS Top plastic surgeon Elijah Creem is renowned for his skills in the operating room, and for his wild, no-expense-spared "industry parties," bringing in underage exotic dancers and models for nights of drugs, champagne, and uninhibited sex. That is, until Detective Alex Cross busts one of Creem's lavish soirees and ruins his fun. Now Creem is willing to do anything to avoid going to jail. DON'T THINK, ALEX CROSS But Alex doesn't have time to dwell on that case. A beautiful woman has been found murdered in her car, a lock of her hair viciously ripped off. Then a second woman is found hanging from a sixth-floor window with a brutal scar slashed across her stomach. When a third mutilated body is discovered, rumors of three serial killers on the loose send Washington D.C. into an all-out frenzy. JUST RUN Alex is under so much pressure to solve these three grim cases that he hasn't noticed that someone else investigating him-someone so obsessed and so twisted that they'll do anything-ANYTHING- to get the vengeance they require. Alex Cross, Run is James Patterson's most unrelenting story yet-a white-hot, sensational thrill ride with the most extreme and gripping characters Patterson has ever brought to life.
Bon anniversaire Héléne. xxx
