When a second body is found, Foster knows the killer is sending a message the clues to which are hidden in the tangled bloodlines that lie between 1879 and
now. But time is fast running out. Because if Barnes is right about his blood-history, the killing spree has only just begun . . .

The End of the Day
The second novel from Booker-longlisted Bill Clegg
Following his acclaimed New York Times bestseller, Did You Ever Have a Family, Bill Clegg returns with a profoundly moving, emotionally resonant second novel about the complicated bonds and breaking points of family and friendship. The End of the Day is an exploration of class and power, the corrosive force of secrets, the heartbeat of longing, and the redemption found in forgiveness.
A retired widow in rural Connecticut wakes to an unexpected visit from her childhood best friend whom she hasn't seen in forty-nine years.
A man arrives at a Bethlehem, Pennsylvania hotel to introduce his estranged father to his newborn daughter and finds him collapsed on the floor of the lobby.
A sixty-seven-year-old taxi driver in Kauai receives a phone call from the mainland that jars her back to a traumatic past.
These seemingly disconnected lives come together as half-century-old secrets begin to surface.
Deeply observed and beautifully written in Bill Clegg's signature 'eloquent, elegant voice' (Entertainment Weekly), the novel is a feat of storytelling, capturing sixty years within the framework of one fateful day.

Rizsporos hétköznapok - Női divat- és hálószobatitkok a 18-19. századból
Gondolta volna, hogy a 18. században a hölgyek legyezőjükkel küldtek titkos üzenetet hódolóiknak? Vagy hogy az első melltartók az 1800-as évek elején végső soron a francia forradalomnak köszönhetően jelentek meg? Hogy kétszáz évvel ezelőtt a fogkefék vaddisznósörtéből készültek, és hogy a bugyi mint ruhadarab majd ezer évig nem is létezett? A Rizsporos hétköznapok gyönyörű képekkel illusztrált lapjain ilyen és ehhez hasonló érdekességekkel találkozhat az olvasó, hisz ez a könyv - vagy inkább album - a divat- és testkultúra történeti gyűjteménye. De annál mégiscsak több: egy könyv, amely egyszerre szórakoztat és hozza közelebb, teszi átélhetőbbé az olvasó számára a történelmet. Azt a történelmet, amely kimaradt a tankönyvekből, a mindennapok történelmét. Koncentrálva ebben a kötetben elsősorban a 18-19. századi hölgyek budoár- és divattitkaira, hétköznapjaira, azokat a divat és a művészet szépségén, illetve a régi szokások báján keresztül bemutatva... És persze egy kis rizsporral meghintve.
Budai Lotti öt éve elindított Rizsporos hétköznapok című blogját tízezrek olvassák, és a blog Facebook-oldalát több mint 12 000-en követik nap mint nap. Az ott megjelenő tartalmak kiegészítése és újragondolása ez a gazdagon illusztrált, szemet gyönyörködtető kiadvány. A szerző korábban megjelent romantikus történelmi kalandregényei a garancia, hogy ezt a témát is szórakoztató formában tárja az olvasók elé.

A Romanovok utolsó napjai - A jekatyerinburgi tragédia
1918. július 4-én új parancsnokot neveztek ki a szigorúan őrzött, jekatyerinburgi Ipatyjev-ház élére. Jakov Jurovszkijnak hívták, s az ő feladata volt, hogy végleg megoldja a cári család kérdését, amely egyre több gondot okozott a bolsevik vezetésnek. Tizenhárom nappal később Jurovszkij parancsára, de minden bizonnyal Moszkvából - Lenintől és Szverdlovtól - érkező utasításra egy alagsori szobában kivégezték II. Miklós volt cárt, a feleségét, Alekszandra Fjodorovnát, négy lányukat, a trónörökös Alekszejt és a még velük lévő szolgáikat.
A történetet már sokan megírták, Rappaport könyve mégis különleges. Soha senki nem tárta fel még ilyen meggyőzően az uráli bolsevikok és a moszkvai vezetés kapcsolatát - miután a hivatalos orosz történetírás ma is azt tartja, hogy a gyilkosságra sem Lenin, sem bárki az új szovjet-kommunista kormány vezetői közül nem adott utasítást, és főleg nem a cárné, a lányok, a kiskorú Alekszej és a szolgák megölésére. Soha senki nem írta meg ilyen percnyi pontossággal a kivégzés minden hátborzongató részletét - felkutatva minden létező beszámolót az utolsó órákról. És soha senki nem ábrázolta még ennyire árnyaltan az utolsó orosz cárnak, feleségének, lányainak és beteg fiának személyiségét - minden hibájukkal, de ugyanakkor azzal a méltósággal együtt, ahogy sorsukat viselték.
Rappaport könyve a precíz, de egyben érzelmekkel telített történetírás remekműve.

Clock Mirage: Our Myth of Measured Time
A tour of clocks throughout the centuries-from the sandglass to the telomere-to reveal the physical, biological, and social nature of time
What is time? This question has fascinated philosophers, mathematicians, and scientists for thousands of years. Why does time seem to speed up with age? What is its connection with memory, anticipation, and sleep cycles?
Award-winning author and mathematician Joseph Mazur provides an engaging exploration of how the understanding of time has evolved throughout human history and offers a compelling new vision, submitting that time lives within us. Our cells, he notes, have a temporal awareness, guided by environmental cues in sync with patterns of social interaction. Readers learn that, as a consequence of time's personal nature, a forty-eight-hour journey on the space shuttle can feel shorter than a six-hour trip on the Soyuz capsule, that the Amondawa of the Amazon do not have ages, and that time speeds up with fever and slows down when we feel in danger.
With a narrative punctuated by personal stories of time's effects on truck drivers, Olympic racers, prisoners, and clockmakers, Mazur's journey is filled with fascinating insights into how our technologies, our bodies, and our attitudes can change our perceptions. Ultimately, time reveals itself as something that rides on the rhythms of our minds. The Clock Mirage presents an innovative perspective that will force us to rethink our relationship with time, and how best to use it.

Trans-Europe Express
Over the past twenty years European cities have become the envy of the world: a Kraftwerk Utopia of historic centres, supermodernist concert halls, imaginative public spaces and futuristic egalitarian housing estates which, interconnected by high-speed trains traversing open borders, have a combination of order and pleasure which is exceptionally unusual elsewhere.
In Trans-Europe Express, Owen Hatherley sets out to explore the European city across the entire continent, to see what exactly makes it so different to the Anglo-Saxon norm - the unplanned, car-centred, developer-oriented spaces common to the US, Ireland, UK and Australia. Attempting to define the European city, Hatherley finds a continent divided both within the EU and outside it.

Magic
From the hexing of presidents to a renewed interest in herbalism and atavistic forms of self-care, magic has furnished the contemporary imagination with mysterious and complex bodies of arcane thought and practice. This volume brings together writings by artists, magicians, historians, and theorists that illuminate the vibrant correspondences animating contemporary art's varied encounters with magical culture, inspiring a reconsideration of the relationship between the symbolic and the pragmatic.
Dispensing with simple narratives of re-enchantment, Magic illustrates the intricate ways in which we have to some extent always been captivated by the allure of the numinous. It demonstrates how magical culture's tendencies toward secrecy, occlusion, and encryption might provide contemporary artists with strategies of remedial communality, a renewed faith in the invocational power of personal testimony, and a poetics of practice that could boldly question our political circumstances, from the crisis of climate collapse to the strictures of socially sanctioned techniques of medical and psychiatric care.
Tracing its various emergences through the shadows of modernity, the circuitries of ritual media, and declarations of psychic self-defence, Magic deciphers the evolution of a 'magical-critical' thinking that productively complicates, contradicts and expands the boundaries of our increasingly weird present.

God is Dead
The remarkable untold story of the mercurial cycling prodigy Frank Vandenbroucke, written by William Hill award-winning author Andy McGrath.
They called him God. For his grace on a bicycle, for his divine talent, for his heavenly looks. Frank Vandenbroucke had it all, and in the late Nineties he raced with dazzling speed and lived even faster.
The Belgian won several of cycling's most illustrious races, including Liege-Bastogne-Liege, Paris-Nice and Ghent-Wevelgem. He was a mix of poise and panache who enthralled a generation of cycling fans. Off the bike, he only had one enemy - himself. Vandenbroucke dabbled in nocturnal party sessions mixing sleeping pills and alcohol and regularly fell out with team managers. By 1999 his team had suspended him and this proved to be the start of a long, eventful fall from grace. Depression, a drug ban, addiction, car crashes, divorce and countless court appearances subsumed his life. He threatened his wife with a gun. He tried to commit suicide twice. And when police found performance-enhancing drugs at his house, Vandenbroucke said they were for his dog.
It seemed he had finally learned from his mistakes. Then, on 12 October 2009, aged just 34, Vandenbroucke was found dead in a hotel room in Senegal.
Guided by exclusive contributions from his family, friends and team-mates, William Hill award-winning author Andy McGrath lays bare Vandenbroucke's chaotic, complicated life and times. God is Dead is the remarkable biography of this mercurial cycling prodigy.
