Miracles happen, but only if you believe. Travis McKinley is an ordinary man living an ordinary life - he has a job that he despises, a marriage that has lost its passion, children from whom he feels disconnected, and, at age fifty, a sense that he has accomplished nothing of consequence with his life. But on Christmas Day, he goes out to play a round of golf, and for the first time, he finds himself in the 'zone'. He sees the putting line that has eluded him for years.

In this remarkable collection, ten premier scholars of nineteenth-century America address the epochal impact of the Civil War by examining the conflict in terms of three Americas - antebellum, wartime, and postbellum nations. Moreover, they recognize the critical role in this transformative era of three groups of Americans - white northerners, white southerners, and African Americans in the North and South.

The Wonderful World of Linus Bailey existed, until recently, entirely within Linus' head. That was okay until the morning of his tenth birthday, when it all came true. Welsh coal miners singing in the garden, a camel, a headmaster who turned evil and a school that became a castle, these all became the backdrop to the much bigger question: Would Nigel Bailey, his Yorkshire Ninja dad arrive in time for his birthday, or would Linus be trapped down a mine for ever? Immerse yourself in the mind of a ten-year-old British schoolboy as he learns to cope with a brand new world.

Som barn drømte Jodie Bentley om to ting: at blive smuk og at blive rig. Med en hjælpende hånd fra plastikkirurgien har hun opnået det første, og hun arbejder nu hårdt på det andet. Hendes filosofi er enkel: Man kan enten tjene penge eller gifte sig til dem. Det er nemt nok at blive gift - den sande udfordring er at slippe af med manden igen bagefter. Men øvelse gør mester.

Tiende bind i den populære krimiserie med Roy Grace. Om stor forelskelse og farlig besættelse. Om enhver kvindes værste mareridt. "Rødhåret alenepige på 29. Er du gnisten, der kan fyre op under mit slumrende, ulmende sexliv? Jeg er til sjov, venskab og måske - hvem ved - endnu mere?" Da Red Westwood møder den flotte og rige Bryce Laurent gennem et online-datingbureau, falder hun straks pladask for ham. Men efterhånden som forholdet udvikler sig, opdager hun, at han har en mørk side, der har været gemt under den charmerende facade.

Ottende bind i den populære krimiserie med kriminalkommissær Roy Grace, der har solgt i alt 13 millioner eksemplarer på verdensplan. Det er ikke nok for megastjernen Gaia at være verdens største popstjerne. Nu vil hun også anerkendes som skuespiller, og hun har derfor sagt ja til at medvirke i en film om den britiske konge George IV og dennes elskerinde Maria Fitzherbert. Filmoptagelserne skal finde sted i Brighton på den engelske sydkyst og on location i det usædvanlige bygningsværk Royal Pavilion.

Det er nytår, og mens resten af Brighton fester, bliver en kvinde udsat for en grov voldtægt på et værelse på byens fine hotel Metropole. En uge senere bliver en anden kvinde i byen overfaldet, og noget kunne tyde på, at der er tale om samme gerningsmand - en mand med hang til dyre damesko. Kriminalkommissær Roy Grace ser straks, at den nye sag minder om sagen om Skomanden, der i 1997 begik en række voldtægter i Brighton og omegn. Kan det virkelig være den samme gerningsmand, der efter så mange år er vendt tilbage, eller er der tale om en copycat?

Den nat, Brian Bishop myrdede sin kone, lå han og sov sødt i en seng hundrede kilometer fra gerningsstedet. Det er det paradoks, der møder kriminalkommissær Roy Grace, da han bliver sat på opklaringen af mordet på den unge smukke Katie Bishop, der findes bundet til en seng i parrets hjem kun iført en gasmaske. Hvordan fanden kan det lade sig gøre? Har nogen stjålet Bishops identitet, eller er han bare en fremragende løgner.

Krimi. Det eneste vidne til et modbydeligt mord bliver sammen med sin familie udsat for dødstrusler, og deres dødsannoncer er allerede lagt ud på internettet. Det bliver derfor en kamp mod tiden for kriminalkommisær Grace at opklare forbrydelsen.

Michael Harrison za 3 dni sie zeni, a poniewaz zawsze uchodzil za zartownisia, teraz paczka jego najblizszych przyjaciól organizuje mu wieczór kawalerski, którego nie zapomni do konca zycia. Po wesolej imprezie w knajpie zakopuja go pijanego w trumnie kilka centymetrów pod ziemia z butelka whisky, krótkofalówka, podniecajacym "swierszczykiem" oraz rurka do oddychania. Potem, kiedy – pijani i rozbawieni – wracaja autem do baru, dochodzi do wypadku, w którym wszyscy gina. Wyglada na to, ze nikt – ani piekna narzeczona, ani matka, ani bliski przyjaciel – nie maja pojecia, gdzie szukac Michaela.
