“A twisty, jet-fueled thriller… Don’t miss it!” – Lisa GardnerPacked with the electrifying pacing and pulse-pounding suspense of Harlan Coben and Lisa Gardner, a thrilling debut about a mother desperate to find the connections between her missing husband and a deadly stalker who knows too much about her own dark family history.Driving home one rainy night, Cassie Larkin sees a man and woman fighting on the side of the road. After calling 911, she makes a split-second decision that will throw her suburban life into chaos. Against the dispatcher’s advice, she gets out of her minivan and confronts the attacker. That’s when he turns on her and spits out a chilling ultima­tum: “Let her die, and I’ll let you live.” A veterinarian trained to heal, Cassie can’t let the woman die. But while she’s examining the unconscious victim, the attacker steals her car. Now he has her name. Her address. And he knows about her children. Though they warn her to be careful, the police assure her that the perpetrator won’t get near her. Cassie isn’t so sure. The next day—Halloween—her husband disappears while trick-or-treating with their six-year-old daughter. Are these disturbing events a coincidence or the beginning of a horrifying nightmare? Her husband has been growing distant—is it possible he’s become involved with another woman? Is Cassie’s confrontation with the road-side attacker connected to her husband’s disappearance? With these questions swirling in her mind Cassie can trust no one, maybe not even herself. The only thing she knows for sure is that she can’t sit back while the people she loves are in danger. As she desperately searches for answers, Cassie discovers that nothing is as random as it seems, and that she is more than willing to fight—to go to the most terrifying extremes—to save her family.

Michael Hofmann is renowned as one of our most brilliant critics and translators; that he is also regarded as among our most respected poets â “ â ˜one of the definitive bodies of work of the last half-centuryâ ™, TLS â “ is all the more impressive for his relatively concentrated output. One Lark, One Horse will be his fifth collection of poems since his debut in 1983, and his first since Approximately Nowhere in 1999. But it is also one of the most anticipated gatherings of new work in years. In style, it is as unmistakable as ever: sometimes funny, sometimes caustic; world-facing and yet intimate; and shows a bright mind burning fiercely over the European imagination. Approaching his sixtieth birthday, the poet explores where he finds himself, geographically and in life, treating with wit and compassion such universal themes as ageing and memory, place, and the difficulty for the individual to exist at all in an ever bigger and more bestial world. One Lark, One Horse is a remarkable assembly of work that will delight loyal readers and enchant new ones with its approachable, companionable voice.

The autobiography of West Indies fast-bowling legend turned Sky pundit, Michael Holding, author of the award-winning Why We Kneel, How We RiseAs one of the fastest bowlers the world has seen, Michael Holding went by the haunting nickname Whispering Death , claiming 249 Test wickets. Despite having not laced his bowling boots since 1989, it remains a fitting sobriquet. As a commentator and administrator, Holding has delivered his views on cricket in the same manner that he played the game: he speaks softly with a rich Jamaican rhythm and is calculated in either criticism or compliment. NO HOLDING BACK charts his effortless transition from one of the great players to one of the great pundits. Holding graphically describes his days as a player, looking back at how he tried to deliberately hurt batsmen on the wastelands of Kingston, and his first match for Jamaica when he almost collapsed from exhaustion - after only four overs! There is time, too, to divulge what it was like to tour with the West Indies, and unmissable insights about sharing a dressing room with other legends of the game like Clive Lloyd, Sir Viv Richards and Malcolm Marshall. Holding does not shirk the big issues, as he discusses how the West Indies have slipped following their halcyon days, openly assesses Brian Lara and laments the hypocrisy over the state of the game in the region. The controversy surrounding the Allen Stanford $20m spectacle, the ICC s handling of the abandoned England v Pakistan match, player power, illegal bowling actions and the threat of Twenty20 to the Test game are all subjects which Holding tackles with characteristic knowledge and class.

Nejezte maso. Jezděte vlakem. Méně se sprchujte. A hlavně nechtějte nic po korporacích. Z klimatické změny se v současnosti stal obecně přijímaný fakt. Její existenci, projevy a hrozby už téměř nikdo nezpochybňuje. Bylo by však předčasné jásat nad vítězstvím vědeckého poznání a zdravého rozumu: to jen popírači, pochybovači a dezinformátoři změnili strategii. Proto dnes sice nikdo klimatickou krizi nepopírá, o to více rozporů však panuje v otázkách, co s ní dělat - a jestli vůbec něco. Do veřejného a mediálního prostoru tak o environmentálních tématech kromě vědců a politiků promlouvají také korporátní PR oddělení, lobbistické skupiny nebo záhadné think-tanky. Jejich cíl je jednoznačný: navenek projevovat starost o planetu, ve skutečnosti však hájit status quo. Nová klimatická válka se tudíž nevede ani tak na vědeckém poli, jako spíše na tom mediálním. Klimatolog Michael E. Mann se této války ve jménu vědy účastní již léta a ve své poslední knize ukazuje, co všechno je v ohrožení.

All moggy moxie, Pedersen croons to the beauty and devastation of love, loss, friendship, cats and careless joy. Equal parts tender and trenchant, raw and ribald, plangent and smutty, these poems exhibit an emotionally charged, fantastical playground of language and lore. From the brutalising death of a cherished friend comes a gut-wrenching grief. And so begins a tenacious quest for light, lustre and survival as Pedersen pays tender tribute to a gorgeous, life-altering friendship. In doing so, he harks back to the hilarity of being young, reckless and petrified: memories of boys showboating in a fishing tackle shop, games of feline metamorphosis, laments for demolished buildings and a case of constipation of the most pernicious stock.As frisky as it is fierce, The Cat Prince pounces around the poet s emotional and physical landscapes, past and present, unfankling a Scotland full of gothic splendour and nature s majesty.These poems reveal a poet at his bravest and most vulnerable. The Cat Prince Other Poems purrs with affection, flashes its teeth, then digs in the claws.

Four strangers are caught in journeys they never intended to take.Jo-Jo is swept from the futility of his everlasting life into a ⠘slice-of-unused-history,⠙ the very one that Alice has made her catastrophic escape into. Punch, a hardened renegade, is blown backwards through a hedge into a magical wood. Finally, scooping them all into the 21st century, comes Evie, an androgynous and perplexed refugee from her own existence.Four now become eight and eight find new meaning on the derelict site of No-Name Roundabout. As they resurrect a collapsing transport café, they take a brief break on a parallel planet, chaperoned by a luminous, self-important rabbit. The travelling showman⠙s van takes its perplexed dinner guests on an uncanny trip through time. There⠙s also the question of the burned man under the hill to be resolved and how does the siege of Ryazan, in the 13th century, fit into the picture?All the while, our players are haunted by one baleful, inhuman presence. Until it is excised, an ugly knot will remain tangled in the weave of the planet⠙s cloth. Within a comedy of errors, tempered by mutual love and affection, can metaphysics and morality finally be resolved?

#39;If deaths are not investigated, then the authorities cannot be held to account and democracy is threatened. And if deaths are not investigated, we are not a society that values human life. #39; Inspired from a young age to help the marginalised and voiceless, Leslie Thomas KC has dedicated his career to fighting for the underdog and holding the State to account. This intimate and personal record of some of the most significant, controversial and disturbing legal cases of the last fifty years lays bare the very heart of the law enforcement and judicial process. It #39;s an unforgettable account of an idealistic and outspoken lawyer #39;s coming of age as a Black man in London, and a powerful portrait of the lives of those he has fought for. From the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, to the deaths of Christi and Bobby Shepherd by carbon monoxide poisoning, the Birmingham Pub Bombings and the police shooting of Mark Duggan, Do Right and Fear No One present a blistering argument for a level playing field in the pursuit of justice.

From the #1 bestselling author of The Big Short and Flash Boys, the high-octane story of the enigmatic figure at the heart of one of the 21st century s most spectacular financial collapses I asked him how much it would take for him to sell FTX and go do something other than make money. He thought the question over. One hundred and fifty billion dollars, he finally said-though he added that he had use for infinity dollars ... Sam Bankman-Fried wasn t just rich. Before he turned thirty he d become the world s youngest billionaire, making a record fortune in the crypto frenzy. CEOs, celebrities and world leaders vied for his time. At one point he considered paying off the entire national debt of the Bahamas so he could take his business there.Then it all fell apart.Who was this Gatsby of the crypto world, a rumpled guy in cargo shorts, whose eyes twitched across TV interviews as he played video games on the side, who even his million-dollar investors still found a mystery? What gave him such an extraordinary ability to make money - and how did his empire collapse so spectacularly?Michael Lewis was there when it happened, having got to know Bankman-Fried during his epic rise. In Going Infinite he tells us a story like no other, taking us through the mind-bending trajectory of a character who never liked the rules and was allowed to live by his own. Both psychological portrait of a preternaturally gifted thinking machine , and wild financial roller-coaster ride, this is a twenty-first-century epic of high-frequency trading and even higher stakes, of crypto mania and insane amounts of money, of hubris and downfall. No one could tell it better.
