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.

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.

A gripping thriller featuring Atlee Pine, FBI Special Agent, by internationally bestselling author David Baldacci.

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...

Los estudiantes Mark, Todd y Zola se inscriben en la escuela de leyes de Washington con la intención de cambiar el mundo tras obtener su título. Sin embargo, tras acumular deudas para pagar las elevadas matrículas de una mediocre escuela privada, se dan cuenta de que son víctimas de una gran estafa. Su institución, al igual que muchas otras, está controlada por un poderoso inversor neoyorquino, socio de un banco que concede préstamos a estudiantes. Después de años de sacrificios y falsas promesas de empleo seguro, comprenden que probablemente nunca pasarán el examen de abogado. Pero tal vez haya una salida: su objetivo es evadir los grandes deudas acumuladas y vengarse del agravio sufrido. Para lograrlo, deben abandonar los estudios, fingir que tienen los títulos para ejercer como abogados y convertir el Rooster Bar, su lugar de encuentro habitual, en su cuartel general. Es una idea completamente loca, ¿o no? John Grisham aborda con brillantez un tema de gran actualidad, exponiendo los intereses y beneficios del negocio de las escuelas privadas.

Bubbly, rich, delicate and delightful, the champagne of the famous House of Peine is everything that Clementine Peine is not. She lost her sparkle, along with the love of her life many years before, and now she's lost her miserable papa too. Still, at least now the precious House is hers. Or is it? First her wicked sister Mathilde returns, determined to poison the future the same way she poisoned the past. Then, out of the blue, a third sister appears - the enchanting but equally unwelcome young Sophie - claiming their surname and causing ancient family rivalries, long-ago love affairs and forgotten scandals to come bubbling to the surface. The glory days Clementine has dreamed of for so long have never seemed further away. 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.
