From the author of BETWEEN THE STOPS and TOKSVIG'S ALMANAC'Teasing out untold stories of the battlefield . . . follows the footsteps of the likes of Sarah Waters and Pat Barker' Independent London, 1897. A young girl, Valentine Grey, arrives in England. She's been brought up in the remote and sunny climes of India and finds being forced into corsets and skirts in damp and cold country insufferable. The only bright spot: her exciting cousin, Reggie. Reggie, and his lover Frank seek out the adventure the clandestine bars and streets of London offer and are happy to include Valentine in their secret, showing her theatre, gardens - even teaching her how to ride a bicycle. And then comes the Boer War and Reggie's father volunteers him; the empire must be defended. But it won't be Reggie who dons the Volunteer Regiment's garb. Valentine takes her chance, puts on her cousin's uniform, leaving Reggie behind and heads off to war. And for a long while it's glorious and liberating for both of the cousins, but war is not glorious and in Victorian London homosexuality is not liberating . . .
Verranské ostrovy 1: Dědictví iluzí
Není mazlíčkem, kterého si ochočili.
Stala se šelmou, kterou pustili mezi sebe.
Pro celý svět je Iverson pouze králův „mazlíček“ – poslušná trofej, která mlčky sedí u jeho trůnu. Krása je však její prokletí a rubínový obojek na krku neviditelným poutem, které ji pevně svírá v rukou krále Baylora.
Aby Iverson přežila, musí zabíjet. Aby zvítězila, musí lhát. Existuje pouze jedna cesta ke svobodě: legendární zbraň almanova, po které bezúspěšně pátrají celé generace. Jedině ta je schopná přemoci sílu obojku. Iversonin osud se proplete s tajemným a nebezpečným Thornem.
Musí se rozhodnout: uzavře spojenectví s nepřítelem, který o ní ví víc, než by kdokoli měl? Jeho blízkost v ní probouzí neovladatelnou touhu. Zároveň odhaluje tajemství, která ji mohou zničit.
Iverson ví, že se Thorna nesmí dotknout. Protože každý, kdo to zkusil, zemřel. Zahubí se navzájem, nebo je pohltí spalující vášeň? Svoboda je na dosah, ale její cena se platí krví a duší.
Cult Leaders
Some individuals have such a magnetic personality that they can attract a hugely devoted following, ignoring the misdeeds of their leader and even committing evil on their behalf. With religious, spiritual or philosophical beliefs to guide them, cults can lead to some of the disturbing events of the modern era. Filled with shadowy rituals and sinister hierarchies and led by masterful manipulators, they can easily become the site of unthinkable horror - and it is only after the leader is brought down that those caught deep inside truly understand what was going on.This book explores the cases of some of the most horrifying cults ever to have existed, including:• The Family, led by Charles Manson, a cult of death and destruction which terrorized Los Angeles in the 1960s.• The Branch Davidians, led by David Koresh, a doomsday cult that ended in a tragic shootout with the authorities.• The Peoples Temple, led by the Reverend Jim Jones, who orchestrated a mass murder-suicide after convincing his followers to relocate to a remote commune in the Guyana jungle.• Aum Shinrikyo, founded by Shoko Asahara, which carried out a number of terrorist attacks in Japan in the late 20th century.Fully illustrated with maps, photographs, illustrations, and information boxes with key facts on the cult leaders and their crimes, this chilling book is the essential guide to those who manipulate and murder their way to infamy.

Gray Area
Experience a sizzling, age-gap romance where passion knows no boundaries and second chances are just the beginning. Two decades designing couture for the elite, and building a billion-dollar fashion brand, should feel like success. Instead, I have an empty mansion, a fresh divorce settlement, and the sinking feeling that I traded everything meaningful for a life that looks better on social media than it does in the mirror. When my practically estranged best friend passes away, she leaves me with the one thing my ex-husband never gave me a chance to have—a baby. Well, a soon-to-be baby, currently residing in a surrogate’s belly. Surprise!Guilt-ridden, and scared to face this alone, cue my desperate funeral plus-one hire: Saylor, an escort with bedroom eyes and a smile that makes me forget I’m supposedly “past my expiration date.” He’s over a decade younger and shouldn’t give me a second glance after the check clears. Only he does. And while I’m spiraling over surprise motherhood and the thoughts of launching a new fashion empire, away from the clutches of my ex, this way-too-young-for-me man has the audacity to look at me like I’m the only woman in the world. “Too old” is what society whispers about women my age starting over. Too old for babies. Too old for new beginnings. Definitely too old for Saylor’s salacious advances that make me feel like a teenager in lust. But what if the happily ever after isn’t lost, just fashionably late? And what if the unattainable escort couldn’t care less about earning his money, because he’s making a play for my heart?

A Torquay-ben felnőtt Agatha Christie-t ezernyi szál fűzte a vidéki Angliához - de míg a kis Agathát a vásárok, regatták és teadélutánok foglalkoztatták, e történetek szereplőit leginkább a bosszú, a pénz és a hatalom.

Gyilkos indulat
A nyár őrült erővel tombol Painters Millben. A meleg elől a cserjésbe menekülő amish gyerekek borzalmas felfedezést tesznek, ami egy csapásra véget vet a kisváros nyugalmának. Kate Burkholder rendőrfőnök a helyszínre érve a huszonegy éves Samuel Yutzy feldarabolt holttestére bukkan. A tapasztalt rendőrfőnököt is elborzasztják a látottak, vajon milyen eltorzult elme választott ilyen szadista módszert a gyilkossághoz? A nyomozás alig kezdődik el, amikor néhány kilométerre az első helyszíntől egy szakadékból egy hordóba gyömöszölt második holttest is előkerül. Az elhunyt Samuel Yutzy legjobb barátja. Kezdettől fogva világosnak tűnik, hogy a két haláleset között kapcsolat áll fenn, Kate mégsem tud rájönni a megoldásra, az amish közösség néma marad. Egy titokzatos nő felbukkanása ad új lendületet a nyomozásnak: szerinte a két amish fiatal olyan személyekkel került kapcsolatba, akik sötét dolgokkal üzletelnek. Az ügy megoldásához Kate-nek le kell merülnie a közösség legmocskosabb bugyraiba. Amikor pedig túl közel kerül az igazsághoz, a gyilkosok magát Kate-et veszik célba. Ohióban halálbüntetés jár a rendőrgyilkosságért - de visszatartaná ez bármelyik bűnözőt?
Holtak vallatója
Dr. Richard Shepherd, a nagyszerű igazságügyi patológus több mint 23000 boncolást végzett. A maga módján detektív, furcsa, gyakran megmagyarázhatatlannak látszó halálesetek rejtélyeit kell megoldania…
Az igazságot kutatva sorozatgyilkosokat buktatott le, természeti katasztrófák következményeit vizsgálta, „tökéletes gyilkosságokról” rántotta le a leplet, szokatlan vagy valószínűtlen balesetek körülményeit derítette fel. Az általa szolgáltatott bizonyítékok gyilkosokat juttattak rács mögé, ártatlanok szabadságát adták vissza, kézenfekvőnek tűnő megoldási kísérleteket döntöttek romba. Tette mindezt nem kis személyes áldozatok árán.
A Holtak vallatója nem pusztán a számára legtöbb vívódást okozó holttestekről és esetekről szóló beszámolók gyűjteménye; azt is bemutatja, milyen egy élet, amelynek minden pillanatában jelen van a halál.
The Museum of Second Chances
From bestselling author Jo Leevers comes a heartfelt story of lost things and second chances. Every morning, Evelyn Silver walks the shoreline before the rest of Portheast wakes, gathering what the tide leaves behind. Broken cups. Lost trinkets. Objects others have discarded. In her small Museum of Maritime Curiosities, each one earns its place—because to Evelyn, every forgotten thing deserves to have its story told. At the heart of the museum lies her most precious possession: a fragment of Cornish lace, found pinned to her blanket when she was abandoned as a newborn. For over sixty years, she has kept it close, hoping someone might one day recognise it and tell her who she really is. So when the local council threatens to close the museum, Evelyn stands to lose far more than her livelihood. Forced out of her solitude, she rallies the community around the museum's curious collection—and as the objects begin to give up their secrets, lives start to intertwine in ways nobody expected. Because sometimes, the most precious things aren't lost at all. They're simply waiting to be claimed. >© 2026 Jo Leevers, all rights reserved.
