A rare masterpiece by Picasso is about to go to auction, and the whole
world is watching.
But bright art student Halston Graham sees an opportunity. One that
could secure millions for her future – and freedom for her wrongly
imprisoned father…
To pull off the crime of the century, she must assemble an unlikely
crack team: an expert in forgery, a ruthless mob boss, and an eccentric
fashion designer.
In a game where trust is a luxury and failure is not an option, will
Halston’s brilliance be enough to outsmart her enemies?
The Nazis may have lost the battle. But the war is just beginning...
Summer, 2025. A US senator is burned to death in his Washington
townhouse. Masked gunmen massacre supporters during a football match in
Berlin. And an old man is murdered while he sleeps in the dementia ward
of a German hospital. Three apparently unconnected events, three steps
on the countdown to apocalypse.
When journalist and podcaster Georg Miller starts joining the dots
between them, he finds himself the target of professional killers. His
investigation soon reveals that his would-be assassins are from an
organisation known as the Odessa, a menacing and powerful Nazi group
intent on regaining power.
The Odessa has spread its poison from a covert compound in the Bavarian
countryside all the way to the halls of the American Capitol. And now,
as their campaign to destabilise the Western political system
accelerates, Georg must stop the next attack, before it changes the
course of history…

When Murphy Meyer arrives at Eden State Hospital on the first of
January 2001, driven to solve a small, personal mystery, the young
doctor has no idea she’s deposited herself into something larger and
darker than she could ever have imagined; something that has a life of
its own.
Few at Eden State Hospital can claim to be single minded where
duplicity is standard operating procedure.
When bookish Winifred flees to a sleepy village to escape her past, she
reluctantly partners with larger-than-life Sylvie to open a charming
bookshop-café. After the slight inconvenience of a dead customer
threatens their new venture, the unlikely duo discover they have a
talent for creative problem-solving - and disposal. Dark, witty and
deliciously macabre, this tale of murder, friendship and small-town
secrets will leave you hungry for more.

Winston Smith rewrites history. It’s his job. Hidden away in the Record Department of the sprawling Ministry of Truth, he helps the Party, and the omnipresent Big Brother, control the people of Oceania.
Winston knows what a good citizen of Oceania must do: show his devotion for Big Brother and the Party; abstain from all vices; and, most importantly, possess no critical thoughts of their own. The new notebook he’s begun to write in is definitely against the rules – in fact, the Thought Police could arrest him simply for having it. Yet, as Winston begins to write his own history, a seed of rebellion begins to grow in his heart – one that could have devastating consequences.
In George Orwell’s final and most well-known novel, he explores a dystopian future in which a totalitarian government controls the actions, thoughts and even emotions of its citizens, exercising power through control of language and history. Its lasting popularity is testament to Orwell’s powerful prose, and is a passionate political warning for today.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Last Flight comes
a twisted con-woman thriller about two women out for revenge-or is
it justice? Two women. Many aliases. Meg Williams. Maggie
Littleton. Melody Wilde. Different names for the same person,
depending on the town, depending on the job. She's a con artist who
erases herself to become whoever you need her to be-a college
student. A life coach. A real estate agent. Nothing about her is
real. She slides alongside you and tells you exactly what you need
to hear, and by the time she's done, you've likely lost everything.
Kat Roberts has been waiting ten years for the woman who upended
her life to return. And now that she has, Kat is determined to be
the one to expose her. But as the two women grow closer, Kat's
long-held assumptions begin to crumble, leaving Kat to wonder who
Meg's true target is. The Lies I Tell is a twisted domestic
thriller that dives deep into the psyches and motivations of two
women and their unwavering quest to seek justice for the past and
rewrite the future. Praise for The Last Flight by Julie Clark:
"Thoroughly absorbing...the characters get under your skin." -The
New York Times "Highly thrilling." -Entertainment Weekly "You won't
be able to put it down." -People.com
'n Paar jaar gelede het 'n sending van die beroemde Willem skeefgeloop

die oulike swartenwit spanjoelhondjie raakgeloop het. En nou is Adriaan
en Willem onafskeidbaar. Hierdie tweede omnibus bevat nog drie

Set in Boston at the end of the First World War, bestselling
author Dennis Lehane's extraordinary eighth novel unflinchingly
captures the political and social unrest of a nation caught at the
crossroads where past meets future. Filled with a cast of richly
drawn, unforgettable characters, The Given Day tells the story of
two families--one black, one white--swept up in a maelstrom of
revolutionaries and anarchists, immigrants and ward bosses,
Brahmins and ordinary citizens, all engaged in a battle for
survival and power. Coursing through the pivotal events of a
turbulent epoch, it explores the crippling violence and
irrepressible exuberance of a country at war with, and in the
thrall of, itself.
The New York Times bestselling author returns with a novel of
suspense narrated by a teenage girl who falls into a life of drugs
and crime, and must escape before it's too late.
Neglected by her parents, nineteen-year-old Maya Vidal grew up
in a rambling old house in Berkeley with her grandparents. Her
grandmother, Nidia, affectionately known as Nini, is a force of
nature--a woman whose formidable strength helped her build a new
life after she emigrated from Chile in 1973. Popo, Maya's
grandfather, is an African American astronomer and professor--a
gentle man whose solid, comforting presence helps calm the
turbulence of Maya's adolescence. When Popo dies of cancer, Maya
goes completely off the rails. She turns to drugs, alcohol, and
petty crime, eventually bottoming out in Las Vegas. Lost in a
dangerous underworld, she is caught in the crosshairs of warring
forces--a gang of assassins, the police, the FBI, and Interpol. Her
one chance for survival is Nini, who helps her escape to a remote
island off the coast of Chile. Here, Maya tries to make sense of
the past, unravels mysterious truths about life and her family, and
embarks on her greatest adventure: the journey into her own
soul.

My patient is stalking me… and he’s a psychopath.
I’ve dedicated my life to understanding the darkest corners of the
human psyche, but nothing prepares me for him. Ghost. The man is a
brilliant, ruthless serial killer who thrives on chaos. Just like his
cult following enrapt by his brutality and beauty, he’s completely
unhinged. And he’s obsessed with me.
So when Ghost turns himself in and demands to speak to me, I’m forced
to confront the beautiful monster sitting across the glass. And the one
inside—the one lurking in my own fractured soul. Ghost's rapt attention
brings goosebumps to my skin and sends chills down my spine. I choose
to believe my reaction is based in fear. When I'm alone in bed, it's
harder to convince myself.
As boundaries fade and the line between doctor and patient blurs, Ghost
proves to know more about me than possible. Soon, I’m faced with a
question: What am I willing to pay to unveil the truth about my haunted
past? Because to Ghost, the price is me. All of me.
