Juli 1772: Friedrich der Große gibt ein Geburtstagsfest für seine Schwester Ulrike. Eingeladen sind auch Couturiers aus Paris und London, die ihre Entwürfe erstmals an lebenden Modellen zu zeigen beabsichtigen. Mehrere Hofdamen der Königin probieren die Roben, doch eine nach der anderen erstickt - aufgrund zu enger Korsagen, wie es scheint.

Honoré Langustier, inzwischen 76, genießt in einer Villa am Heiligen See seinen Ruhestand eher schlecht als recht. Nichts als Langeweile - selbst in seiner Freimaurerloge. Doch da erschüttern plötzlich seltsame Todesfälle den Orden. Prinz Heinrich, ebenfalls Freimaurer, bittet Langustier um Hilfe. Und schon bald stoßen der ehemalige Leibkoch, seine zauberhafte Urenkelin Gerardine, der Reisebegleiter des gerade in Berlin eingetroffenen Weimarer Großherzogs, der Legationsrat Goethe, auf die Spur eines Serienmörders...

Mai 1786: Emile Joyard, der Erste Hofküchenmeister Friedrichs des Großen, wird tot in einer Bachschlucht nahe Buckow gefunden. Der König hatte den Koch schon lange im Verdacht, ihn vergiften zu wollen. Nun wird Honoré Langustier, längst im verdienten Ruhestand, wieder in Dienst gestellt und muss nicht nur den sterbenskranken König bekochen, sondern auch den mysteriösen Tod seines Kollegen auf klären. Dabei steht ihm der Graf von Mirabeau zur Seite, der eigentlich in ganz anderer, geheimer Mission tätig ist ...

Ein Preußenkönig hat es auch nicht leicht: Zur Einweihung des Springbrunnens im Park von Sans Souci erscheint als ungeladener Gast die Leiche eines Baumeisters, deren Verpackung keinen Zweifel daran lässt, dass hier ein Mord geschah. Als sei ein Toter nicht genug, wird noch am selben Tag aus Berlin die Auffindung eines toten Steuerbeamten gemeldet, den man dekorativ ans Zentralgebäude der neueingerichteten Steuerbehörde gehängt hat. Eine Reaktion auf die rigide Steuerpolitik des Staates? Der König, dem die Luxussteuer der Lebensnerv seines Schlossbaues ist, will vor allem den Berliner Mord rasch aufgeklärt sehen. Doch der um Hilfe gebetene Honoré Langustier befasst sich gleich mit beiden Fällen. Die Nachforschungen deuten bald darauf hin, dass es Querverbindungen zwischen den Verbrechen gibt.

The spirited Oakland neighborhood of Rockridge has been spotlighted in the national media twice in recent years. Hard-hit by a disastrous fire and named a top livable neighborhood by a national magazine, the north Oakland neighborhood has had a diverse and eventful history. Early booms in commerce and population pushed Oakland city boundaries east and north through farmland, toward the university town of Berkeley, and the neighborhood of Rockridge was formed. Shaped by its farms, homes, streetcars, interurban trains, shops, markets, movie houses, a quarry, and Oaklands first reservoir, Rockridges story is one of hard labor in the quarry and the practice of the fine arts, of ethnic markets and the short-lived grand estates of mining tycoons, of the taming of wild creeks and the subdivision of open spaces. The town witnessed experiments in planned development, the effect of freeways and rapid transit, changes brought by the Depression and World War II, the transformation of College Avenue, and trends in home building that today allow the landscape to reveal Rockridges history.

The Shores of a Dream: Yasuo Kuniyoshi''s Early Works in America considers the paintings and drawings that Kuniyoshi produced before his first trip to Europe in 1925. As he began to develop his painting style, the young artist also executed a series of pen-and-ink drawings that were finished works of art in themselves. Kuniyoshi''s sensuous still lifes and fanciful landscapes fused the principles of American modernism with artistic elements from folk art and from his Japanese heritage. His works are by turns humorous, fantastic, and serenely elegant, and always worthy of close examination. The Shores of a Dream reveals the range of Kuniyoshi''s early work, from broadly painted canvases that echo American folk painting to pen-and-ink works reminiscent of Japanese sumi ink drawing or touched with delicate washes of color. Comparative examples from traditional Japanese art and Kuniyoshi''s contemporaries, including Charles Demuth, Georgia O''Keefe, and Marsden Hartley, suggest how he fused both traditional and modernist artistic principles into a style uniquely his own.
