Má ovšem tajný poměr, který jednoho odpoledne v nedalekém motelu poměrně dramaticky skončí. Zničený a naštvaný se vrací domů, kde nečekaně narazí na svou poněkud problematickou devítiletou dceru Avery – a William ztratí nervy. O pár hodin později nahlásí rodina Woolerových, že se Avery pohřešuje. Najednou už se v tomhle klidném městečku necítí bezpečně nikdo. A William není zdaleka jediný, kdo tady skrývá nějaké tajemství. S každou další svědeckou výpovědí začínají být všichni místní obyvatelé stále zděšenější. Opravdu se všichni tak dobře znají? Dá se tu vůbec někomu věřit? A především: KDO UNESL AVERY WOOLEROVOU? Citace / výkřiky z knižní obálky „Život mezi sousedy, kde se cítíte v bezpečí… A pak pohřešované dítě, celá řada rodičů, kteří za každou cenu chrání své potomky, manželek, jež brání své muže, a podlých a pochybných osob, co se skrývají všem na očích. Miluju to!“ - CRIMEREADS „Shari Lapena se rychle stává mezinárodním fenoménem… Všude samí lháři jsou nejlepší z jejích sedmi thrillerů. Začínají třeskutě a končí zvratem, který nikdo neuhodne.

Poté co dorazí, udeří sněhová bouře, která odstřihne hotel od elektřiny i veškerého kontaktu s vnějším světem. A hned první noc dojde k tragické nehodě: jeden z návštěvníků spadne ze schodů a zabije se. Byl to ale nezaviněný pád? Atmosféra houstne, baterie mobilů se vybíjejí a nedůvěra mezi hosty přechází v paranoiu – další smrt na sebe totiž nenechá dlouho čekat, a tentokrát už je to nepochybně vražda... Inspirace klasickými detektivkami, plíživé sílící napětí a hororové vyústění – Shari Lapena ani tentokrát neušetří čtenáře šokujícího odhalení, stejně nečekaného, jaký přinesly závěrečné zvraty v jejích předchozích psychothrillerech Manželé odvedle a Někdo cizí v domě.

This is a hands-on guide to learning to draw in perspective. It is partly about learning to draw a set of straight lines that meet at a point. And it’s partly about learning to look at what is around you, and spot where those invisible straight lines might be located. It’s a book for anyone who wants to draw or paint—in any genre and in any medium. And it’s not weighed down with theory – although everything you will need to know is explained. Most of all, it gives you exercises to play with. You can put your observational skills to the test with the “image quiz” features—where you take a pen and draw in all the vanishing points onto the book itself. Or use the special “perspective chambers” to draw objects onto an existing scene, keeping it all in the right perspective: think of it as a kind of 3D doodling. By the time you get to the end of the book, you will understand how perspective works and be able to apply it intuitively without a ruler or drafting table. The whole concept will feel like a sixth sense. And you can get on with being creative. There is also a 30-page workbook to put your skills to the test!

In 2016, Mariam Khan read that David Cameron had linked the radicalization of Muslim men to the "traditional submissiveness" of Muslim women. Mariam felt pretty sure she didn''t know a single Muslim woman who would describe herself that way. Why was she hearing about Muslim women from people who were neither Muslim, nor female? Years later the state of the discourse has deteriorated even further, and Muslim women''s voices are still pushed to the fringes—the figures leading the discussion are white and male. Taking one of the most politicized and misused words associated with Muslim women and Islamophobia, It''s Not About the Burqa is poised to change all that. Here are voices you won''t see represented in the news headlines: 17 Muslim women speaking frankly about the hijab and wavering faith, about love and divorce, about feminism, queer identity, sex, and the twin threats of a disapproving community and a racist country. With a mix of British and international women writers, from activist Mona Eltahawy''s definition of a revolution to journalist and broadcaster Saima Mir telling the story of her experience of arranged marriage, from author Sufiya Ahmed on her Islamic feminist icon to playwright Afshan D''souza-Lodhi''s moving piece about her relationship with her hijab, these essays are funny, warm, sometimes sad, and often angry, and each of them is a passionate declaration calling time on the oppression, the lazy stereotyping, the misogyny and the Islamophobia. What does it mean, exactly, to be a Muslim woman in the West today? According to the media, it''s all about the burqa. Here''s what it''s really about.
