One of only two survivors of a plane crash, Nell Slattery wakes in the hospital with no memory of the horrific experience-or who she is, or was.
Now she must piece together both body and mind, with the help of family and friends, who have their own agendas. She filters through photos, art, music, and stories, hoping something will jog her memory, and soon, in tiny bits and pieces, Nell starts remembering. . . .
It isn't long before she learns to question the stories presented by her mother, her sister and business partner, and her husband. In the end, she will discover that forgiving betrayals small and large will be the only true path to healing herself-and to finding happiness.
What happens when you think you have it all, and then suddenly it's taken away?
Willa Chandler-Golden's father changed the world with his self-help bestseller, Is It Really Your Choice? Why Your Entire Life May Be Out of Your Control. Millions of devoted fans now find solace in his notion that everything happens for a reason. Though Willa isn't entirely convinced of her father's theories, she readily admits that the universe has delivered her a solid life: a reliable husband, a fast-paced career. Sure there are hiccups - negative pregnancy tests, embattled siblings - but this is what the universe has brought, and life, if she doesn't think about it too much, is wonderful.
Then her (evidently not-so-reliable) husband proposes this: a two-month break. Two months to see if they can't live their lives without each other. And before Willa can sort out destiny and fate and what it all means, she's axed from her job, her 12 year-old nephew Nicky moves in, her ex-boyfriend finds her on Facebook, and her best friend Vanessa lands a gig writing for Dare You!, the hottest new reality TV show. And then Vanessa lures Willa into dares of her own - dares that run counter to her father's theories of fate, dares that might change everything...but only if Willa is brave enough to stop listening to the universe and instead aim for the stars.
Raised on a ranch in northern California, Jody is well-schooled in the hard work and demands of a rancher's life. He is used to the way of horses, too; but nothing has prepared him for the special connection he will forge with Gabilan, a hot-tempered pony his father gives him. With Billy Buck, the hired hand, Jody tends and trains his horse, restlessly anticipating the moment he will sit high upon Gabilan's saddle. But when Gabilan falls ill, Jody discovers there are still lessons he must learn about the ways of nature and, particularly, the ways of man.
Stephen King hailed Dan Simmons’ bestselling novel as ‘a brilliant, massive combination of history and supernatural horror’ and it’s now a chilling 10-part AMC Original TV series from Ridley Scott.
The men on board Her Britannic Majesty’s Ships Terror and Erebus had every expectation of triumph. They were part of Sir John Franklin’s 1845 expedition — as scientifically advanced an enterprise as had ever set forth — and theirs were the first steam-driven vessels to go in search of the fabled North-West Passage.
But the ships have now been trapped in the Arctic ice for nearly two years. Coal and provisions are running low. Yet the real threat isn’t the constantly shifting landscape of white or the flesh-numbing temperatures, dwindling supplies or the vessels being slowly crushed by the unyielding grip of the frozen ocean.
No, the real threat is far more terrifying. There is something out there that haunts the frigid darkness, which stalks the ships, snatching one man at a time — mutilating, devouring. A nameless thing, at once nowhere and everywhere, this terror has become the expedition’s nemesis.
When Franklin meets a terrible death, it falls to Captain Francis Crozier of HMS Terror to take command and lead the remaining crew on a last, desperate attempt to flee south across the ice. With them travels an Eskimo woman who cannot speak. She may be the key to survival — or the harbinger of their deaths. And as scurvy, starvation and madness take their toll, as the Terror on the ice become evermore bold, Crozier and his men begin to fear there is no escape…
Twenty-five years ago, in one of Rex Stout’s most famous mystery novels, Too Many Cooks, Nero Wolfe was aided in the solution of a murder by a twenty- year-old Negro.
Now, in A Right to Die, Stout’s latest full-length novel, this same Negro is a man of forty-five and a professor of anthropology. He comes to Nero and to Archie Goodwin with a pressing problem concerning his son and a young, beautiful, and wealthy white girl. Both the son and the girl are active in a civil-rights group. Their entanglements with each other and with the group lead to two murders, and Nero and Archie, in their search for the murderer, become fascinatingly involved in America’s most immediate domestic problem. They unearth a murder motive unique in mystery fiction, and encounter some of the most interesting people ever invented by the master of the modern mystery, Rex Stout.
Twelve-year-old Zak, who has an inoperable brain tumour, is with his sister and parents when their private plane is disastrously diverted. Wrecked on a remote research outpost in the Antarctic, they find themselves in an abandoned base. Then Zak’s parents disappear, and the base’s equipment starts 3D-printing nightmarish spiderlike creatures. Zak’s bizarre visions appear to suggest a link to something else–beneath the ice–which only he can understand…
Двама мъже, които се мразят.
Една невъзможна мисия.
Зараждаща се легенда.
Ейдриън Блекуотър е воин, който няма за какво да се сражава. Ройс Мелбърн е крадец и убиец, който няма какво да губи.
Общото между тях е познанството с екстравагантен магьосник, който от своя страна е открил, че сливането на противоположните им умения би могло да превърне двамата в почти непобедим екип. Тази му наблюдателност не е безкористна, разбира се: точно такова партньорство е в състояние да му донесе желаното съкровище от върха на Короносната кула — остатък от най-непристъпната крепост, издигана някога от човешка ръка.
Подобна задача изглежда напълно постижима за хора като Ейдриън и Ройс. Стига двамата да успеят да сдържат взаимната си ненавист и да не се убият един друг поне до края на мисията…

Студът. Гората. Вълците. Жегата. Докосването. Целувките. Тайните. Тръпката.
Нейният вълк. Неговото лятно момиче.
Белезите от миналото, крехкото настояще, невъзможното бъдеще...
Грейс
Задържах погледа си върху очите на вълка толкова дълго, колкото можах. Бяха ярки, искрящожълти. От толкова близо виждах, че са изпъстрени с всеки нюанс на златистото и светлокафявото. Не исках да отмества очите си от мен. И той не го стори. Исках да се пресегна, да сграбча козината му, да го придърпам към мен, но дланите ми лежаха безпомощни, ръцете ми бяха замръзнали край тялото.
Вече не можех да си спомня какво представляваше топлината.
Едно мигване по-късно и жълтоокия вълк вече го нямаше. Другите от глутницата се скупчваха над мен, задушаваха ме. Нямаше слънце, нямаше светлина. Умирах. Не можех да си спомня как изглеждаше небето.
Сам
Тогава видях очите й. Будни. Живи. Момичето гледаше право в мен, задържайки погледа ми, излъчвайки някаква ужасяваща откровеност.
Отстъпих назад, присвих се, започнах да треперя отново. Но този път това не бе резултат от гнева. Очите й, загледани в моите очи. Кръвта й, стичаща се по лицето ми. Раздирах се отвътре и отвън. Нейният живот. Моят живот.
Глутницата предпазливо се отдалечи от мен. В гърлата им се надигна ръмжене, защото в този миг вече не бях един от тях, а те бяха готови да защитят плячката си. Помислих си, че това е най-красивото момиче, което бях виждал - мъничък, лежащ в снега окървавен ангел, който те се канеха да разкъсат.
Видях я. Видях я по начин, по който никога не бях виждал никого и нищо преди това. И ги спрях.
Маги Стийвотър завършва история в Мери Вашингтон Колидж, но се посвещава на литературата. Постига феноменален успех с трилогията си „Тръпка”, „Копнеж”, „Завинаги”, по която продуцентите на „Властелинът на пръстените” вече правят мащабна филмова продукция. Живее във Вирджиния заедно с очарователно праволинейния си съпруг, двете им малки деца, две невротични кучета и една криминално проявена котка.
In both And Be a Villain and The Second Confession, Nero Wolfe had sharp but long-distance encounters with a certain powerful mystery man of crime named Zeck. That Zeck was a blackmailer was obvious. That he was perhaps the most potent and utterly ruthless of all underworld characters seemed more than possible. These episodes hinted that in some future book Zeck would play a leading role — and now he does, in this new full-length novel.
It all begins when a woman whose homeliness is exceeded only by her wealth brings to Nero the problem of discovering where her handsome husband has been getting the money she refused him. Next, Nero answers his phone and Zeck, on the other end, says, “Lay off this case.” Nero once told Archie that it he ever had to come to grips with Zeck, he would disappear first so as not to endanger Archie, his orchid plants, or his house in lower Manhattan, and Nero is a man of his word.
Where Nero went, what happened in his absence, how he came back, and the manner of his coming are as fine a combination of outright drama and downright hilarity as was ever put together in a novel of crime.
One of the corollary mysteries of this book is: how the devil is even Rex Stout ever going to top it?
Отлично запознат с тънкостите на международните финанси и със задкулисните игри в света на финансовите акули, Пол Лу Сюлицер е и писател със световна известност, чиито романи съперничат по тиражи с тези на Артър Хейли и Робърт Лъдлъм. Трилогията „Money“, „Cash!“ и „Fortune“ проследява пътя на неукротимия Франц Цимбали с всичките му възходи и падения, рискове и невероятни приключения. Хрумванията на този „Танцьор“ (както сам се нарича) на сцената на финансовите спекулации често изглеждат налудничави, но са винаги оригинални и (почти) винаги доходоносни.
Във „Fortune“ фантазията на автора напълно се развихря. Този път Цимбали купува казино и се устремява към Голямото Богатство. Пътьом обаче става жертва на Голяма Измама и му се налага да вложи цялото си въображение и дързост, за да осъществи скромната си мечта за малко над един милиард долара годишно. Съпътстват го верните му приятели и съратници Ли и Лиу, Хасан Фезали, Марк Лаватер и, разбира се, любимата му Сара и синът му Марк-Андреа. Дали ще успее да постигне целта си и най-после да намери покой? Събитията се развиват главоломно, контраатаката на Танцьора е по-динамична и изобретателна всякога.
There has been no new full-length Nero Wolfe mystery novel in six years, a wartime shortage which we are delighted to remedy. The brilliant deductive methods of the fabulous fat man, beloved by so many thousands of readers, are put to another stiff test. It is a pleasure to report that Archie is back from the wars as Wolfe’s leg man (Nero himself has been a consultant for the War Department).
A murder has been committed, so daring and with such vital national implications that the whole country is shaken. The newspapers are having a field day; the corridors in Washington are buzzing with gossip. The murder took place at the Waldorf, just before the annual dinner of the National Industrial Association, as the guests sipped cocktails in the adjoining room. The murdered man was none other than Cheney Boone, the Director of the Bureau of Price Regulation, who was scheduled to be the principal speaker before this group of the country’s leading business men. industrialists, and manufacturers. Why has he been silenced — and by whom?
Again Rex Stout proves that he is still the old maestro in the field of the murder story lightened with wit and written with intelligence and skill. The Viking Press, which has not published a mystery for years, is proud to re-enter the field with this odds-on favorite.
This is, in the considered opinion of his publishers, the finest detective story ever written by Rex Stout and therefore one of the very best ever written by anyone. As a new peak for the old master, it provides an occasion to celebrate an outstanding career, as well as a new challenge to the wits of his fans.
A very rich woman comes to Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin, claiming that she is being harassed by the FBI. She reports that agents are following her and members of her family, her wires are being tapped, and her privacy is being otherwise invaded. She demands that Wolfe help her to find relief and offers him the largest retainer he has ever seen.
Wolfe, with some hesitation, takes the case and quickly encounters a murder about which members of the FBI may know more than is apparent. He also soon finds himself in a direct encounter with FBI agents under highly questionable circumstances.
Never before has Rex Stout written a book more perfectly plotted or one with a denouement so skillfully arrived at.

Клейтън, прословут с любовните си похождения, заминава за мъгливия остров Уайт, за да плени скритата млада красавица Миракъл Кавендиш и да я предаде в обятията на Трей, без горкото момиче нищо да заподозре. Но Клейтън, който толкова добре умее да кара дамите да въздишат по него с пронизващите си тъмни очи, открива, че този път самият той е станал жертва на неустоима страст. А Миракъл, изправена пред шокиращата истина в Лондон, открива, че независимо от приликата помежду им, в един от братята има нещо, което несъмнено е уникално — разлика, която единствено би могла да се почувства от една влюбена жена…
