Guardian - A lélekőrző 2.
Miután Zhao Yunlan tudomást szerzett Shen Wei valódi személyazonosságáról, a két férfi kénytelen újraértelmezni kapcsolatát. Félszegen és bizonytalanul közelednek egymáshoz, óvatosan felmérve a köztük lévő új határokat. Eközben a Különleges Esetek Osztálya sem tétlenkedik, és a nyomozások során immár Shen Wei is kiveszi részét a munkából. Ám minél jobban elmélyednek a természetfeletti rejtélyekben, úgy derül fény újabb titkokra és ősi összefüggésekre, amelyek már nem csupán kettejük egyre mélyülő kapcsolatára vetnek baljós árnyékot, hanem az egész halandó világ jövőjét is nagyban befolyásolják.

And when she learns that Wes is heading to Italy on a trip with his fraternity brothers, Sora decides that there’s no better place to reignite a romance than the Amalfi Coast!

Downfall of a King
A riveting and deeply researched account of King Juan Carlos’s epic fall from grace. Paul Preston, the preeminent historian of modern Spain, here lays bare the complex web of financial and sexual excess that led to the hero’s vertiginous downfall. For decades, King Carlos was immensely popular in Spain and much beloved – in part because of his courageous defence of Spanish democracy after Franco’s death. However, his secrets’ gradual exposure e was detonated in April 2012 by his appearance on television cameras as he left a Madrid hospital. An astonished nation heard him make a declaration unprecedented from the lips of any Spanish Head of State, royal or republican: ‘I am very sorry. I have made a mistake and it will not happen again’. Revelations that he had been badly injured while elephant hunting in Botswana accompanied by a woman who was not his wife opened the floodgates to prurient research into his marital infidelities. From there, it was a short step to journalistic, followed by judicial, investigation into his financial misdemeanours. The consequent accumulation of hostile coverage culminated in his abdication on 2 June 2014 and, from August 2020, a gilded exile in Abu Dhabi. Paul Preston’s spectacular biography tells the story of the King’s very public implosion and identifies the seeds of self-destruction in Juan Carlos’s unhappy childhood and upbringing. In so doing, Preston also throws a penetrating light on the massive scale of corruption within the Spanish establishment and sets the King’s downfall against Spain’s own identity crisis as it continues to grapple with its fascist past.

He just has to win a trial that has no defence and recover a painting he doesn’t legally own. With a second baby on the way and pressure building from every direction, Robbie starts cutting corners, making deals, and asking fewer questions than he should. Because this time, playing it straight might not pay. And losing is no longer an option. Fixed Odds is Book 10 in the Robbie Munro Legal Thriller series. Perfect for readers who love John Grisham, Scott Turow, and Michael Connelly. ___________________________________________________________________Praise for the Best Defence Series: ?

In it, Riikka Pulkkinen weaves a complex story of power, identity, and the fragile boundary between truth and fiction.
Ghosts of the Night
No animal better symbolises the desire to get closer and the need to respect distance than the owl. These remarkable creatures are both among and apart from us: sharing the same environments but carrying a sense of mystique as they beat their wings low over the fields where they hunt, or swoop up and around to their nest, high in a tree or haystack. There is something ethereal, awe- and fear-inspiring about the appearance and movement of these birds: graceful, distinctive, almost otherworldly. It is not hard to see why observers long ago watched the owl and deemed it a visitor from another place, with either a great or terrible message to impart. Every encounter with an owl is special, somehow new, and stands alone even as it helps you to understand patterns and connections. The silent approach of a white Barn Owl angel over a paddock is one of the most alluring images in the British countryside. The t’wit and the answering t’wo of the Tawny owl is a classic of the night. Both are tiny insights into the amazing lives of the owls that are found around us. Ghosts of the Night is a wonderful insight into every element of our British Owls – Barn and Tawny and their even more enigmatic cousins the Short-eared, Long-eared and Little. How well do they hear, how silently do they fly and how do they live in the ever changing countryside. Chris Sperring is the acknowleged expert and he explains everything you have ever wanted to know about these amazing creatures.
