Lord Peter Flint se jako vyzvědač potýkal už s celou řadou úkolů, jenže nikdy nedostal na starost dopravit vězně obviněného z velezrady z Francie do Londýna – natož aby tím vězněm byla šlechtična. Důkazy proti krásné a horkokrevné lady Jessamine mluví jasně, a přestože ona svou vinu opakovaně popírá, Flint jí odmítá uvěřit. Když zjistí, že Jess nosí v hlavě informace, díky nimž by bylo možné zničit celou zločineckou organizaci jednou provždy, stává se její bezpečí jeho prvořadým úkolem. Jenže vůdce pašeráků ví, že Jess je v rukou Angličanů nebezpečná zbraň, a je rozhodnutý ji získat zpět dřív, než někomu prozradí, co ví…

From the author of the highly acclaimed The Keeper of Secrets, New York Times bestselling author Julie Thomas When Dr Kobi Voight is given a set of old letters by his mother, he has no inkling that they will lead him around the world and deep into his family's tragic past. Within the letters - written in Hebrew and filled with delicate illustrations - lie the reflections of a young Jewish woman, forced to give up her baby daughter while fighting with the Resistance in Berlin. Who is the author, known only as 'Ruby', and what became of her child? And how does a priceless work of art, stolen by the Nazis, form part of the unfolding mystery? From the Holocaust to the present day, across continents and oceans, Kobi's journey will ultimately lead him to the truth about his family - and his own identity. Julie Thomas returns with the much anticipated sequel to The Keeper of Secrets and the next episode in the dramatic fortunes of the Horowitz family, set in Australia, Europe and America, from World War II to the present.

Kromě toho, že Violet na odchodu trvala, jenom těžko se dokázal vyrovnat s tím, kolik toho před ním celé ty roky tajila. Ale pak se setkali znovu… a bylo to velké. A když se setkali potřetí… bylo to navždy!

First ever publication of J.R.R. Tolkien's final writings on Middle-earth, covering a wide range of subjects and perfect for those who have read and enjoyed The Silmarillion, The Lord of the Rings, Unfinished Tales, and The History of Middle-earth, and want to learn more about Tolkien's magnificent world. It is well known that J.R.R. Tolkien published The Hobbit in 1937 and The Lord of the Rings in 1954-5. What may be less known is that he continued to write about Middle-earth in the decades that followed, right up until the years before his death in 1973. For him, Middle-earth was part of an entire world to be explored, and the writings in The Nature of Middle-earth reveal the journeys that he took as he sought to better understand his unique creation. From sweeping themes as complex and profound as the metaphysics of Elvish immortality and reincarnation, and the Powers of the Valar, to the more earth-bound subjects of the lands and beasts of Numenor, the geography of the Rivers and Beacon-hills of Gondor, and even who had beards! This new collection, which has been edited by Carl F Hostetter, one of the world's leading Tolkien experts, is a veritable treasure-trove offering readers a chance to peer over Professor Tolkien's shoulder at the very moment of discovery: and on every page, Middle-earth is once again brought to extraordinary life.

Nejenom, že Rosalii, jak se ona neznámá Američanka jmenovala, nikdy neviděl. Tři roky se nedotkl ženy! Ale bylo to tak! A nejenom, že z něho měl být otec. Rozhodl se, že se stane i manželem.
