Van de #1 New York Times-bestsellerauteur komt een meeslepende psychologische thriller waarin twee vrouwen—een voormalige detective en een gevaarlijke oplichter—het tegen elkaar opnemen in een electriserend kat-en-muis spel. Mickey Gibson, alleenstaande moeder en voormalige detective, leidt een hectisch leven waarin ze de eisen van haar twee kleine kinderen combineert met haar werk voor ProEye, een wereldwijd onderzoeksbedrijf dat rijke belasting- en kredietfraudeurs opspoort. Wanneer Mickey een telefoontje krijgt van een collega met een ongebruikelijk verzoek om de leegstaande woning van een wapenhandelaar te inventariseren, denkt ze er niet veel van. Tot ze bij het landhuis aankomt en een lijk in een geheime kamer ontdekt—en dat niets is zoals het lijkt. De wapenhandelaar blijkt niet te bestaan en het slachtoffer is Harry Lancaster, een man met banden met de maffia die ooit in het getuigenbeschermingsprogramma zat. Bovendien werkt er niemand met de naam Arlene Robinson bij ProEye. In een oogwenk is Gibson de belangrijkste verdachte in een moordonderzoek—en nu staat ook haar baan op het spel totdat ze bewijst dat ze in de val is gelokt. Al snel is Gibson verwikkeld in een strijd van verstand met een briljante vrouw zonder naam, een verborgen verleden en onbekende motieven—wiens einddoel net zo mysterieus als dodelijk is.

When a convicted killer is saved by another man's confession, Amos Decker, now an FBI special task force detective, must find the truth in this "utterly absorbing" #1 New York Times bestseller (Associated Press). Convicted murderer Melvin Mars is counting down the last hours before his execution--for the violent killing of his parents twenty years earlier--when he's granted an unexpected reprieve. Another man has confessed to the crime. Amos Decker, newly hired on an FBI special task force, takes an interest in Mars's case after discovering the striking similarities to his own life: Both men were talented football players with promising careers cut short by tragedy. Both men's families were brutally murdered. And in both cases, another suspect came forward, years after the killing, to confess to the crime. A suspect who may or may not have been telling the truth. The confession has the potential to make Melvin Mars--guilty or not--a free man. Who wants Mars out of prison? And why now? But when a member of Decker's team disappears, it becomes clear that something much larger--and more sinister--than just one convicted criminal's life hangs in the balance. Decker will need all of his extraordinary brainpower to stop an innocent man from being executed.

When two plainclothes policemen arrested champion cyclist David Millar in a restaurant near Biarritz in 2004 for doping, it marked the beginning of a two-year exile from cycling and the end of everything else: his multimillion dollar contract with one of the biggest teams in the sport, his opulent lifestyle, the support of his teammates and closest friends, and the gold medal he’d won months before at the world championships. This candid memoir follows a young and idealistic cyclist from the early-morning streets of Hong Kong to the highest echelons of the sport in France where, overcome by peer pressure and the stress of remaining at the top, he started using the red blood cell–boosting substance EPO. Millar, reinstated to the sport and now an ardent critic of doping, paints an intriguing and frenetic portrait of professional cycling and of the pressures and seediness lurking beneath the surface. As pulse-pounding and suspenseful as a thriller, this piercing, moving memoir shines a light into the dark corners of cycling and, by extension, all of world-class sport.

Een verdwenen wetenschapper, mysterieuze objecten van steen, een teken aan de hemel - geologe Ella Jordan staat voor een raadsel. Maar als ze afdaalt naar het diepste punt van de aarde, ontdekt ze de verschrikkelijke betekenis van deze schijnbaar onsamenhangende fenomenen... Uit de Marianentrog komen signalen aan de oppervlakte die veel te regelmatig zijn om een natuurlijke oorsprong te kunnen hebben. In een onderzeeboot duiken Ella en de wetenschapper Konrad Martin naar het diepste punt van de trog, waar zich de bron van de verschijnselen lijkt te bevinden. Daar ontdekken ze een reusachtige stenen kogel, harder dan diamant en niet te meten. Plotseling worden nieuwe signalen opgevangen: eerst vanaf de Noordkaap, dan uit Australië en Antarctica. Ella en Konrad reizen over de hele wereld en stuiten overal op dezelfde raadselachtige stenen objecten, die ineens, allemaal tegelijk, signalen gaan uitstralen die over de hele wereld aardbevingen en vulkaanuitbarstingen veroorzaken...

Pero ahora que están en el tercer año, se dan cuenta de que han sido víctimas de un fraude: pidieron un cuantioso préstamo para estudiar en lo que ha terminado siendo una escuela de segunda categoría, centrada en ganar dinero, y tan mediocre que los alumnos rara vez aprueban el examen final. Investigando, descubren que la escuela es parte de una cadena operada por un fondo de dudosa reputación que, además, también dirige un banco especializado en préstamos estudiantiles. Sin embargo, no todo está perdido. Puede que haya una forma de librarse de la deuda, desenmascarar al banco, destapar el fraude y sacar provecho al mismo tiempo. Pero para que su plan tenga éxito, tendrán que abandonar la escuela sin graduarse, lo que sería una locura… O quizá no.

But as her cherished grapes must blossom and blend to reinvent themselves and become something truly magnificent - so must she. Only then can the House of Peine become a House of Joy.
