A stunning, shocking, wonderfully well written debut reminiscent of James Patterson and one that will catapault Boris Starling to the front rank of thriller writers. London is in the grip of a heatwave: airless days, strange steamy nights and a killer stalking the streets. Wealthy men are being murdered to some mysterious pattern, with no clues left behind, only corpses with silver spoons in place of their tongues... Set against this merciless butcher is DCI Red Metcalfe, an investigator with a celebrated ability to get under the skin and into the minds of the deranged killers he hunts. But as the city swelters and the body count rises, Red's own tortured past begins to turn against him - and the city is safe for no one. Sometimes, it is said, it takes a killer to catch a killer... The most compelling and suspenseful British thriller to come along in years, and Boris Starling is a startling and powerful talent to watch. Messiah is guaranteed to haunt your dreams...

As the eerie prophecy of The Expected One casts a shadow over her life and work, a long-buried family secret comes to light. Ultimately she, and the reader, come face-to-face with Jesus Christ, Mary Magdalene, John the Baptist, Judas, and Salome in the pages of a deeply moving new gospel, the life of Jesus as told by Mary Magdalene.

El relato empieza cuando McCourt tiene 27 años e, instalado en Nueva York, inicia una actividad académica para la cual sus estudios universitarios no han acabado de formarle. En efecto, las realidades sociales en un entorno tan duro como el neoyorquino resultan difíciles de digerir por parte de este inmigrante irlandés. Haciendo más caso a su intuición y a lo que le dicta su conciencia que a las directrices académicas, consigue despertar el interés de sus alumnos. Para ello, decide bajarse del pedestal en el que viven instalados la mayoría de profesores y se dedica a escuchar a sus alumnos y a aprender de ellos, poniéndose a su altura para conocer sus inquietudes, sus gustos y su forma de ver el mundo.

In the year 2000, in the closest election in American history, Alice Blackwell's husband becomes president of the United States. Their time in the White House proves to be heady, tumultuous, and controversial. But it is Alice's own story - that of a kind, bookish, only child born in the 1940s Midwest who comes to inhabit a life of dizzying wealth and power - that is itself remarkable. Alice candidly describes her small-town upbringing, and the tragedy that shaped her identity; she recalls her early adulthood as a librarian, and her surprising courtship with the man who swept her off her feet; she tells of the crisis that almost ended their marriage; and she confides the privileges and difficulties of being first lady, a role that is uniquely cloistered and public, secretive and exposed. In Alice Blackwell, Curtis Sittenfeld has created her most dynamic and complex heroine yet. American Wife is not a novel about politics. It is a gorgeously written novel that weaves race, class, fate and wealth into a brilliant tapestry. It is a novel in which the unexpected becomes inevitable, and the pleasures and pain of intimacy and love are laid bare.

Remember the wonderfully romantic book of letters by Beethoven, Byron and Napoleon that featured in the Sex and the City film? That collection never actually existed, but all of the letters referenced in the film were real; so Macmillan decided to create Love Letters of Great Men...From the private papers of Mark Twain and Mozart to those of Robert Browning and Nelson, Love Letters of Great Men collects together some of the most romantic letters in history. For some of these great men, love is a 'delicious poison' (William Congreve); for others, 'a nice soft wife on a sofa with good fire, & books & music' (Charles Darwin). Love can scorch like the heat of the sun (Henry VIII), or penetrate the depths of one's heart like a cooling rain (Flaubert). Every shade of love is here, from the exquisite eloquence of Oscar Wilde and the simple devotion of Robert Browning, to the wonderfully modern misery of the Roman Pliny the Younger, losing himself in work to forget how much he misses his beloved wife, Calpurnia. Taken together, these Love Letters of Great Men show that perhaps men haven't changed so very much over the last 2,000 years; passion, jealousy, hope and longing are all represented here - as is the simple pleasure of sending a letter to, and receiving one from, the person you love most.

Twenty years after her parents are killed in a dangerous ceremony intended to release the old gods back to Earth, Truth Blackburn returns to the family estate to learn the truth and confronts the leader of her parent's revived cult.

De University of the Archangels and Saint Jo the Dine is niet zomaar een universiteit. Hier worden studenten ingewijd in eeuwenoude heksenpraktijken en magisch rituelen. Minder bekend is dat de universiteit - een geheimzinnige plek waar dag en nacht verlicht altaren bewaakt door stenen engelen de sfeer bepalen - ook de thuisplaats is van de Benandanti, een sekte die zich tot doel heeft gesteld de herrijzenis van de maan in, een uiterst duistere macht, te voorkomen. Nog minder bekend is dat de Benandanti door de eeuwen heen elke regering, elke religie en elk invloedrijk instituut middels ontoelaatbare praktijken manipuleerden. De sympathieke Katherine Sweeney Cassidy ontdekt bij toeval het bestaan van de Benandanti, die ook de universiteit besturen. Aanvankelijk besteedt ze er weinig aandacht aan. Immers, de campus is voor haar in de eerste plaats een plek om te experimenteren, om nieuwe vrienden te maken, een tijd van vrijheid en ontdekkingen. Zoals met Oliver en Angelica, wier heftig liefdesleven, bij voorkeur beleefd onder een volle maan direct aanzet is tot de wederopstanding van de Maangodin...
