An Eve Dallas investigation. New York in the year 2058 is very different from the New York of today. Guns have been outlawed but lasers can kill, and the police still have a hefty job to do. Two men are discovered murdered. They have links – both with each other, and with Eve's new husband, Rourke.
When a celebrity is killed right before her eyes, New York detective Eve Dallas takes a new place in crime-as both officer and witness to murder…
Opening night at New York 's New Globe Theater turns from stage scene to crime scene when the leading man is stabbed to death center stage. Now Eve Dallas has a high-profile, celebrity homicide on her hands. Not only is she lead detective, she's also a witness-and when the press discovers that her husband owns the theater, there's more media spotlight than either can handle. The only way out is to move fast. Question everyone and everything… and in the meantime, try to tell the difference between the truth-and really good acting…
From Publishers Weekly
It is 2059, and New York City homicide lieutenant Eve Dallas's husband, Roarke, is producing a revival of Agatha Christie's thriller Witness for the Prosecution. On opening night, when the villainous character Leonard Vole gets his just deserts, someone substitutes a kitchen knife for the prop knife, and the actor, Richard Draco, is stabbed through the heart. Trouble is, in time-tested British mystery fashion, everyone in the cast had good reason to despise Richard, a misogynist who seduced and discarded beautiful young women, including one whom he knew to be his daughter. It's up to Eve to solve the case, an emotionally difficult task as she is no stranger to incest herself: she was beaten and raped by her father before she managed to escape him. As Eve fights to keep her head above water, she tries to bond at a deeper level with Roarke, so that her future will heal the pain of her past. Robb (aka Nora Roberts) serves up a welcome mix of edgy, sexy lovers,newfangled gadgets, classic whodunit and noir.
È un momento cruciale nella vita di Harry: ormai è un mago adolescente, vuole andarsene dalla casa degli odiosi Dursley, vuole sognare la Cercatrice del Corvonero per cui ha una cotta tremenda... Intanto, grandiosi avvenimenti si stanno preparando alla scuola di Hogwarts, dove si svolgerà un torneo tra tutte le più importanti scuole di magia. E nonostante non abbia ancora 16 anni, età per iscriversi alla competizione, Harry viene scelto dal Calice di Fuoco per superare prove terrificanti: si troverà faccia a faccia con la morte, come sempre per colpa del perfido Voldemort; e con l’amore.
Vincitore del premio Hugo per il miglior romanzo in 2001.
In questa nuova, attesissima avventura il piccolo grande apprendista mago Harry Potter deve vedersela con l’assassino pluriomicida Sirius Black, evaso dalla fortezza di Azkaban proprio per ucciderlo e con i Dissennatori, guardie carcerarie che neutralizzano le persone risucchiandone i pensieri positivi e impadronendosi dell’anima… Ma Harry Potter non soccombe alla paura, perché questa è la morale vincente che trasmette ai lettori. Tra mappe segrete, zie volanti e libri che mordono, farà trionfare il Bene. Che soddisfazione!
Harry Potter a nyári szünetet szokás szerint az utálatos Dursley családdal tölti, ám a folytatás közel sem a megszokott. A főhős összeütközésbe kerül két dementorral, akiket azért küldtek a muglik világába, hogy megtámadják az ifjút, akinek varázslatai és trükkjei sértik a varázslók világának szigorú szabályait. Harryt a Roxfortból való száműzetés, sőt varázspálcájának eltörésének a réme fenyegeti. A fiút a Főnix rendje gondjaira bízzák. Ezt a szervezetet sietősen hozzák létre jóindulatú varázslókból és boszorkányokból. A rend megfogadja, hogy legyőzi Voldemortot, de ettől függetlenül Harrynek ismét ki kell állnia személyes próbáját is, anélkül, hogy pontos információi lennének, mi is az igazi szerepe a történetben.
When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early forties, the little town of Pagford is left in shock.
Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty facade is a town at war.
Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils… Pagford is not what it first seems.
And the empty seat left by Barry on the parish council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations?
Blackly comic, thought-provoking and constantly surprising, is J.K. Rowling’s first novel for adults.
'The summer had been long hot and bloody. Fall, with its cooler temperatures was coming. Maybe people wouldn't be as inclined to kill each other. But she doubted it.' Eve Dallas' latest homicide case is a particularly vicious case. A young mother, Elisa Maplewood, is found raped and strangled in the park, her body naked but for what appears to be a red ribbon tied around her neck. As Eve starts investigating Elisa's friends and relations, an offer of help comes from an unlikely source. The only reason Eve agrees to meet with psychic Celina Sanchez is that she is a friend of a friend. But Celina claims to have experienced visions of the killer and can recite precise details of the case – details that the police have kept to themselves. She is also no glory-hunter – she doesn't want her name released to the media. Haunted by the visions of death that she sees, all she wants to do is help Eve catch the criminal so that she is left in peace. Though Eve remains sceptical of Celina's abilities, she serves the greater good, and she will use all the resources she can to track down the killer before he strikes again…
Il quarto volume delle avventure di Harry Potter ci ha lasciato con il fiato sospeso: Lord Voldemort è tornato. Che cosa succederà ora che l’Oscuro Signore è di nuovo in pieno possesso dei suoi terrificanti poteri? Quanta morte e distruzione seminerà nel tentativo di riprendere il dominio dei mondo? Sono le stesse domande che si pone Harry Potter, disperatamente segregato — come tutte le estati — nella casa dei suoi zii Babbani, lontano dal mondo magico che gli appartiene. Ma qualcosa è cambiato anche in lui. Ormai quindicenne, lo ritroviamo divorato dalla frustrazione, dalla rabbia e dall’ansia di ribellione tipiche della sua età. In uno dei libri più attesi nella storia della letteratura, J.K. Bowling non cessa di stupirci. Tessendo un’altra stupefacente trama, riesce questa volta a dar voce alle inquietudini dell’adolescenza, ad arricchire il suo già mirabolante universo di nuove creature e nuovi indimenticabili personaggi, e anche a metterci in guardia contro la stupidità del potere e di chi lo usa per combattere il talento, il coraggio, la fantasia e la diversità.
