Description

#1 New York Times bestselling thriller writer Kathy Reichs’s twenty-first novel is “her masterpiece—smart, scary, complicated, and engrossing” (Michael Connelly)—and features forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan who uncovers a series of gruesome killings eerily reenacting the most shocking of her prior cases. Winter has come to North Carolina and, with it, a drop in crime. Freed from a heavy work schedule, Tempe Brennan is content to dote on her daughter Katy, finally returned to civilian life from the army. But when mother and daughter meet at Tempe’s place one night, they find a box on the back porch. Inside: a very fresh human eyeball. GPS coordinates etched into the eyeball lead to a Benedictine monastery where an equally macabre discovery awaits. Soon after, Tempe examines a mummified corpse in a state park, and her anxiety deepens. There seems to be no pattern to the subsequent killings uncovered, except that each mimics in some way a homicide that a younger Tempe had been called in to analyze. Who or what is targeting her, and why? Could this elaborately staged scene be the prelude to a twist that is even more shocking? Tempe is at a loss to establish the motive for what is going on…and then her daughter disappears. “The crowning achievement of a master storyteller” (Nelson DeMille), Cold, Cold Bones is a novel of revenge—one in which revisiting the past may prove the only way to unravel the present.

Escrita nos anos 1920 por Ievguêni Zamiátin. Nós é a distopia original que inspirou desde grandes clássicos do gênero, como Admirável Mundo Novo, 1984, Laranja Mecânica e Fahrenheit 451, até livros mais recentes, como Divergente e Jogos Vorazes. A obra conta com texto traduzido direto do russo e duas leituras complementares. A primeira é uma resenha do livro escrita por George Orwell, autor de 1984, originalmente publicada na revista londrina Tribune em 1946. Orwell ressalta a ousadia política de Nós e indica alguns dos incontáveis aspectos em que Zamiátin inspirou Admirável Mundo Novo, de Aldous Huxley. Há também uma comovente carta enviada por Zamiátin a Stálin, pedindo para sair da União Soviética, onde todas as suas publicações estavam sofrendo perseguição política. "Se eu for verdadeiramente um criminoso que merece punição, não creio que mereça uma punição tão grave quanto a morte literária. Por isso, peço que essa sentença seja comutada pela deportação da URSS" Em suas páginas, o autor imaginou um governo totalitário chamado Estado Único que, supostamente pelo bem da sociedade, privou a população de direitos fundamentais como o livre-arbítrio, a individualidade, a imaginação, a liberdade de expressão e o direito à própria vida. Um mundo completamente mecanizado e lógico, onde as pessoas não possuem nomes, mas sim números, e o Estado dita os horários de trabalho, de lazer, de refeições e até de sexo. A trama traz a história de D-503, um engenheiro que vive pleno e feliz (exatamente como ordena o grandioso Estado Único), mas começa a duvidar das próprias convicções ao conhecer uma misteriosa mulher que comete a ousadia de bular regras, e que o contamina com a doença chamada imaginação.

The recipe for forgiveness begins with an open heart and a full belly. Sisters Rose Tillman and her sister Marvina Nash haven't spoken in decades--not since Rose sent Marvina $40 to register their business and Marvina used that money for her own personal purposes. Now retired, Rose wants to open the restaurant they'd once dreamed of. But, to her horror, Rose realizes she's forgotten their mother's secret spice mix recipe, known to only one other person in the world. With no other option, Rose embarks on a two-hour drive to Marvina's house back in Fork City, Texas. Marvina has her own version of what caused their falling out, and it's a far cry from what Rose recalls. Marvina, skeptical and still indignant, but incurably polite, figures she'll give Rose a chance to speak her piece before closing the door in her face. As the sisters fight their way to forgiveness, they unpack their complicated past, form an unexpected alliance with a young mother-to-be, and reconnect through the tantalizing aroma of chicken dinners that hold the power to heal--or divide--a community. In a tale rich with Southern charm, Rose and Marvina discover through fussing, laughter, and tears that the secret ingredient to a bright future might just be found in facing who they are today--and in forgiving the past to embrace a second chance at sisterhood. "A charming novel about sisterhood, regrets, and second chances ... an utter delight from start to finish."--Terah Shelton Harris, author of One Summer in Savannah

I was there. I saw what you did. Blaise I wasn't supposed to be there that night, but my friend Sienna talked me into going to the party in Land's End so she could spy on her boyfriend. While hiding out in the woods, we witnessed an unspeakable crime. And we did everything wrong afterward. Connections run deep in our small town. I was pressured into keeping my mouth shut, even though every part of me objected. I assumed I'd always do the right thing in any situation. I was wrong about that and a lot of other things. I was wrecked by what I saw and how the victim was treated by kids I'd known all my life. I've been sick over it ever since, even as I moved on, far away from the town where I was raised. Fourteen years later, I learn that the guy who committed that unspeakable crime is running for Congress, and something in me snaps. I can't bear the weight of that knowledge for another second. Finally, I report what I saw, and all hell breaks loose for me and others who were at that long-ago party. Some of them will do whatever it takes to keep the truth from coming to light... even if they have to kill me. In the midst of an epic battle, a new love gives me the strength to stay strong, to fight for my life and to right a terrible wrong. Content Warning: a sexual assault storyline may be upsetting to some readers.

Germany, 1946: Emmy Clarke is a librarian not a soldier. But that doesn't stop the Library of Congress from sending her overseas to Germany to help the Monuments Men retrieve and catalog precious literature that was plundered by the Nazis. The Offenbach Archival Depot and its work may get less attention than returning art to its rightful owners, but for Emmy, who sees the personalized messages on the inside of the books and the notes in margins of pages, it feels just as important. On Emmy's first day at work, she finds a poetry collection by Rainer Maria Rilke, and on the title page is a handwritten dedication: "To Annelise, my brave Edelweiss Pirate." Emmy is instantly intrigued by the story behind the dedication and becomes determined to figure out what happened. The hunt for the rightful owner of the book leads Emmy to two sisters, a horrific betrayal, and an extraordinary protest against the Nazis that was held in Berlin at the height of the war. Nearly a decade earlier, hundreds of brave women gathered in the streets after their Jewish husbands were detained by the Gestapo. Through freezing rain and RAF bombings, the women faced down certain death and did what so few others dared to do under the Third Reich. They said no. Emmy grapples with her own ghosts as she begins to wonder if she's just chasing two more. What she finds instead is a powerful story of love, forgiveness, and courage that brings light to even the darkest of postwar days.

That was an easy rule to follow...until Axel. Axel is an expert distributor, someone who knows how to get our product past the ruthless regulations mandated by the government. My father has never had a partner, but he makes an exception for Axel because he's good at what he does. But the second our eyes meet...there's fire. He's by far the most handsome man I've ever seen, and his I-couldn't-care-less attitude makes me weak. But I put up boundaries and reject his advances. But this man doesn't stop until he gets what he wants. One night together becomes the precursor to the most passionate affair of my life. If my father discovers our secret, it'll cost me my career...and it'll cost Axel his life. To make matters worse, I'm falling for this man...and I think he's falling for me too.

Description

Llega Reina, la esperada segunda entrega de la «Trilogía Mount», con más de 200.000 ejemplares vendidos en Estados Unidos. «Soy su entretenimiento, su juguete, el pago de la deuda. Me digo que le odio, pero cada vez que entra en mi habitación, mi cuerpo me traiciona. ¿Cómo puedo desearle y temerle al mismo tiempo? No me di cuenta de que esto sería una completa anarquía. Debería haberlo sabido. Cuando interviene Mount, no hay reglas. No me rendiré. No mostraré debilidad. Me mantendré firme y saldré de esta empresa con mi corazón y mi alma intactos. Pero él tiene otros planes...»
