But despite the slim chance of success, he is intrigued and takes it on; adding to the long list of cases that he and his partner in the agency, Robin Ellacott, are currently working on. And Robin herself is also juggling a messy divorce and unwanted male attention, as well as battling her own feelings about Strike.

    • In a future so real and near it might be now, something happens when women go to sleep; they become shrouded in a cocoon-like gauze. If they are awakened, if the gauze wrapping their bodies is disturbed or violated, the women become feral and spectacularly violent; and while they sleep they go to another place... The men of our world are abandoned, left to their increasingly primal devices. One woman, however, the mysterious Evie, is immune to the blessing or curse of the sleeping disease. Is Evie a medical anomaly to be studied? Or is she a demon who must be slain? Set in a small Appalachian town whose primary employer is a women's prison, SLEEPING BEAUTIES is a wildly provocative, gloriously absorbing father/son collaboration between Stephen King and Owen King.

Yasmin arrives in Alaska to be told her husband, Matt, is dead, the victim of a catastrophic accident. Yasmin, unable to accept this as truth, sets out into the frozen winter landscape, taking Ruby with her in search of answers. But as a storm closes in, Yasmin realises that a very human danger may be keeping pace with them. And with no one else on the road to help, they must keep moving, alone and terrified, through an endless Alaskan night. In a story that explores the very limits of human resilience, The Quality of Silence is as much about a mother learning to hear her deaf daughter as it is about their journey across the vastness of Alaska, and proves, once again, that Rosamund Lupton is a storyteller of class and elegance.

      From the author of the internationally bestselling The Blood of Flowers comes a compelling tale of power, loyalty, intrigue, and love set in the royal court of sixteenth-century Iran. While legendary women like Anne Boleyn and Queen Elizabeth I are well-known for their influence in England, the powerful women of the Muslim world often remain overlooked. In this richly crafted narrative, Anita Amirrezvani brings to life Princess Pari Khan Khanoom Safavi, a key figure in the tumultuous court of Iran in 1576. Following the Shah's death without an heir, the court descends into chaos. As the Shah’s daughter and protégé, Princess Pari possesses deep knowledge of state affairs, yet her attempts to restore order spark resentment among the nobility. Alongside her closest adviser, Javaher, a eunuch adept at navigating both the harem and the broader political landscape, she holds a tapestry of secrets that unveils a monumental power struggle. Loosely based on the life of Princess Pari Khan Khanoom, this riveting story explores political intrigue and the unique bond between a princess and a eunuch. Amirrezvani's masterful storytelling immerses readers in a vivid world filled with passionate characters who navigate a Machiavellian game of power, revealing the lengths to which individuals will go to seize their destiny.

Era una afirmacion optimista, ajena, por cierto, a la cadena de acontecimientos que habrian de ocurrir. Mujer bonita y ambiciosa, Leslie descubrira muy pronto que, para ciertos hombres, el poder es el mayor afrodisiaco. Por su parte Oliver, apuesto gobernador de un Estado del sur norteamericano, sentira en carne propia la furia de una mujer enganada. Con los vaivenes inesperados que traza su pluma inimitable, Sidney Sheldon teje la historia del choque inexorable entre dos personas igualmente decididas. Los mejores planes nos introduce en dos mundos de poder e influencia paralelos y equivalentes: la politica, con sus escandalos, encubrimientos y corruptelas; y la prensa, capaz de destruir vidas y reputaciones, cuando no de derribar gobiernos. Pero los mejores planes no siempre se cumplen...
