El libro rojo —escrito y publicado por Manuel Payno y Vicente Riva Palacio en 1870— comienza con una recreación de los sucesos que rodearon a la caída del Imperio Azteca en tiempos de Moctezuma II: el cometa que se divisó en 1514 en el Valle de Anáhuac y por el que fueron ejecutados varios sacerdotes al negarse a revelar su catastrófico significado, la llegada de Cortés a Tenochtitlan, la forma en que Moctezuma es tomado prisionero, la matanza que cometen los soldados de Pedro de Alvarado en el atrio del Templo Mayor, la ejecución del emperador mexica y los momentos previos a la llamada «Noche Triste». Luego se cuenta el enfrentamiento fallido de Xicoténcatl contra los soldados de Cortés, y cómo el guerrero tlaxcalteca muere ahorcado por su propio ejército. Los pasajes relacionados con la Conquista finalizan con las secuelas que dejó la epidemia de viruela y la suerte que corrieron los últimos tres reyes de la otrora «región más transparente del aire». El resto del libro habla sobre las víctimas de las guerras de Independencia y de Reforma, a las que se añaden las semblanzas dedicadas a Leandro Valle, Santos Degollado y Nicolás Romero, escritas por Juan A. Mateos, con quien Riva Palacio escribió varias obras dramáticas. Hay que destacar que los autores, en su afán de ser incluyentes, dejaron que el último capítulo —dedicado al fusilamiento de Maximiliano de Habsburgo—, fuera escrito por Rafael Martínez de la Torre, uno de sus abogados defensores.
Cousin Bette (1846) is considered to be Balzac's last great novel, and a key work in his Human Comedy. Set in the Paris of the 1830s and 1840s, it is a complex tale of the devastating effect of violent jealousy and sexual passion. “Bette is a wronged soul; and when her passion does break, it is, as Balzac says, sublime and terrifying,” wrote V. S. Pritchett. A late masterpiece in Balzac’s La Comédie Humaine, Cousin Bette is the story of a Vosges peasant who rebels against her scornful upper-class relatives, skillfully turning their selfish obsessions against them. The novel exemplifies what Henry James described as Balzac’s “huge, all-compassing, all-desiring, all-devouring love of reality.” Against a meticulously detailed backdrop of a post-Napoleonic France struggling with massive industrial and economic change, Balzac's characters span many classes of society, from impoverished workers and wealthy courtesans to successful businessmen and official dignitaries. The tragic outcome of the novel is relieved by occasional flashes of ironic comedy and the emergence of a younger generation which has come to terms with the new political and econimic climate.

The third novel in the Charlie Chan series.set almost exclusively in California (as opposed to Chan's native Hawaii), and tells the story of the former head of Scotland Yard, a detective who is pursuing the long-cold trail of a murderer. Fifteen years ago, a London solicitor was killed in circumstances in which the only clue was a pair of Chinese slippers, which he apparently donned just before his death. Sir Frederic Bruce has been following the trail of the killer ever since. He has also been interested in what appears to be a series of disappearing women around the world, which has some connection to the disappearance of a woman named Eve Durand in rural India also fifteen years ago. Just when it seems he might finally solve the murder case, at a dinner party to which a number of important and mysterious guests have been invited, Inspector Bruce is killed -- and was last seen wearing a pair of Chinese slippers, which have vanished. It is left to Chan to solve the case.
Diamonds Are Forever is the fourth novel by the English author Ian Fleming to feature his fictional British Secret Service agent James Bond. Fleming wrote the story at his Goldeneye estate in Jamaica, inspired by a Sunday Times article on diamond smuggling. The story centres on Bond's investigation of a diamond-smuggling ring originating in the mines of Sierra Leone and ends in Las Vegas. Along the way Bond meets and falls in love with one of the members of the smuggling gang, Tiffany Case. Much of Fleming's background research formed the basis for his non-fiction 1957 book The Diamond Smugglers. Diamonds Are Forever deals with international travel, marriage and the transitory nature of life
