Ironwood
Sworn to protect a scenic island meant to be far from the evils of the mainland, Detective Sergeant Stilwell can feel danger closing in.
Detective Sergeant Stilwell knows that his posting on Catalina Island is no paradise, but to most residents, it seems blissfully separated-by twenty-two miles of ocean-from the troubles of Los Angeles County. But now a threat is coming to his safe haven.
Acting on a tip from a confidential informant, Stilwell and his deputies watch a plane land in the middle of the night at the Airport in the Sky, a remote airstrip in the mountains. A duffel bag of drugs is dropped and the deputies move in, but things quickly go sideways.
While Stilwell chases the fleeing pickup man into the mountainside brush, shots are fired on the runway and the plane flies off.
An internal inquiry follows, putting Stilwell on the bench until he is cleared of responsibility for the disastrous operation. But he is determined to find out who brought deadly violence to his island, and begins his own secret investigation into the drug deal gone wrong.
While under orders to remain in the sheriff's substation, he finds in the lost and found a valuable backpack that was never claimed. He traces it to a woman who disappeared while hiking on the island four years ago.
But then why was the pack only turned in two months back? Now thoroughly intrigued, he follows the mystery all the way to the LAPD's Open-Unsolved Unit and Detective Renee Ballard.
Stilwell and Ballard work the case from both sides of the channel, and soon realize they are on the trail of a criminal who revels in taunting the authorities. Meanwhile, frustrated at being shut out of an investigation on his own island, Stilwell risks his already shaky standing in the department to pursue a case whose reach is wider than he ever imagine.
The Never List - Never List 1
'You think I chose you because I wanted to?' He shakes his head, that laugh sliding like warm whiskey over my bare skin. 'I had to choose you. I needed to choose you. There was no stopping it. And the second the words came out of my mouth, I knew I'd damned us.'
Threatened by invaders, the kingdom of Lumathyst is on the verge of chaos, and no one can stop it. Unless the four immortal god-princes find their fated mate - and safeguard the throne - Lumathyst will fall.
Five women have tried. Five have failed. And tonight in the royal city, the princes need to find their Chosen and hope she can survive the transformation that will make her immortal.
Only Rylee Gray wasn't supposed to be here. She snuck in for her own dark reasons - and now they claim they've found their perfect match. Her. Of course, they have no idea she's concealing a secret big enough to damn them all.
The four princes have no choice. They'll use every delectably wicked skill they have to make Rylee fall for all of them . . . or watch their kingdom collapse.

Második csillag jobbra
„Önt kedvelő táblácskáimat megpróbáltam visszavonni, sajnos nem jártam sikerrel, pedig egy úrinő semmilyen körülmények között nem tűnhet lelkesnek, csak és kizárólag ajakbiggyesztéssel nyugtázhatja egy úr igyekezetét, az ismerkedés elején legalábbis. Hogy ne legyenek indokolatlan elvárásai, elárulom, messze nem vagyok úrinő kategória, sőt.
Engem kedvelő táblácskáit hálásan köszönöm, nagyon jó vasárnap estét szerzett velük, kérem, vissza ne vonja őket. És mint láthatja, a reményt még nem adtam fel, itt vagyok. Egyébként az "úrinő" fogalom diagnosztikus értelemben teljesen bizonytalan kategória, én például a legutóbbi időkig azt a meghatározást vettem figyelembe, hogy úrinő nem fut, és ehhez képest "úriember nem tunkol.”
Hogyan találhatunk vissza önmagunkhoz, ha már túl régóta játsszuk a ránk osztott vagy épp magunkra kényszerített szerepeket?
Havas Juli új regényében bravúrosan szövi össze generációkon átívelő tablóvá egy online társkeresőn óvatosan ismerkedő, középkorú pár, egy drog- és alkoholproblémákkal küzdő fiatal ügyvéd és egy hivatása és anyasága között őrlődő neurobiológus történetét. Esendőségük ellenére – vagy éppen miatt – igazán szerethető figurái látszólag eltérő kihívások előtt állnak, ám a boldogulás érdekében mindegyiküknek szembe kell néznie a múltból magával hozott csomagjával.
A Második csillag jobbra őszinte, fájdalmasan ismerős, mégis reményteli történet hibázásról, függőségről, sorsmintákról és arról, hogy a gyógyulás és a megértés néha a legváratlanabb helyekről érkezik.

Basic Equality
An innovative argument that vindicates our normative commitment to basic equality, synthesising philosophy, history, and psychologyWhat makes human beings one another’s equals? That we are "basic equals" has become a bedrock assumption in Western moral and political philosophy. And yet establishing why we ought to believe this claim has proved fiendishly difficult, floundering in the face of the many inequalities that characterise the human condition. In this provocative work, Paul Sagar offers a novel approach to explaining and justifying basic equality. Rather than attempting to find an independent foundation for basic equality, he argues, we should instead come to see our commitment to this idea as the result of the practice of treating others as equals. Moreover, he continues, it is not enough to grapple with the problem through philosophy alone—by just thinking very hard, in our armchairs; we must draw insights from history and psychology as well. Sagar writes that, as things stand, there appear to be no good arguments for believing in the truth of basic equality. Indeed, for much of Western intellectual history and social practice, basic inequality has been the default position. How is it then, Sagar asks, that in Western societies, in a period of less than a century, basic equality emerged as the dominant view? Sagar approaches this not as a mere philosophical puzzle, but as a dramatic historical development. In so doing, he shows us what is at stake when human beings treat one another as equals just because they are human beings.
