Speurder-kaptein Alek Strauss van die FSO word saam met sy span uitgeroep na ’n raaiselagtige moordtoneel. Die liggaam van ’n vrou is in ’n afgeleë bouval in Pretoria-Oos gevind. Advokaat Lynn Rawlins is skynbaar verwurg. Teen die muur staan in bloed geskrywe: Sprich nichts Böses.

Doktor Nadiya Patel, forensiese sielkundige, is vas oortuig die moordenaar se modus operandi is ’n waarskuwing dat nog lewens in gevaar is.

’n Meesleurende spanningsroman deur Marie Lotz, die skrywer van Roofdier.

Jou diepste vrees is sy grootste begeerte...

Geen lang naels nie. Geen skoenveters nie. Dit is maar enkele van die reëls in die Molenberg-Psigiatriese hospitaal. Selfmoord is ʼn inwoner hier, en die pasiënte word as psigopate bestempel.

Dominique du Randt word in Molenberg opgeneem ná haar ma se wrede moord. Niemand glo dat sy nie verantwoordelik is vir haar ma se dood nie. Niemand glo dat sy deur ʼn man agtervolg is wat homself die Bewonderaar noem nie. Haar sielkundige, Martin, het wel sy bedenkinge. Daarom dat hy sy eie speurwerk doen.

Wat Martin ontdek, is die Ophelia-klub. ’n Plek van grusame geheime, fantasieë en donker vergrype. Wanneer een van die vroulike pasiënte in Molenberg-Psigiatriese hospitaal verdwyn, is Dominique oortuig die Bewonderaar weet presies waar sy is. Hy is, soos voorheen, weer in beheer van dié skrikwekkende spel.

Maar hoe beskerm jy jouself in ’n plek soos Molenberg? Hier waar niemand jou glo en jy geen vryheid of beheer het nie?

From internationally bestselling author Mary E. Pearson, The Courting of Bristol Keats is the first book in her debut adult fantasy series, filled with forbidden romance, deadly faerie curses and pulse-pounding action.

After losing both their parents, Bristol Keats and her sisters struggle to stay afloat in their small, quiet town of Bowskeep. When Bristol begins to receive letters from an 'aunt' she has never heard of, who promises to help, Bristol reluctantly agrees to meet her – and discovers that everything she thought she knew about her family is a lie. Her father might even still be alive. Not killed but kidnapped by terrifying creatures and taken to another realm – the one he is from.

Desperate to save her father and find the truth, Bristol journeys to a land of gods, fae and monsters. Pulled into a dangerous world of magic and intrigue, she makes a deadly bargain with the fae king, Tyghan. But what she does not know is that he is the one who drove her parents to live a life on the run. And he is just as determined as she is to find her father – dead or alive . . .

A heart-wrenching love story that spans worlds and decades, The Courting of Bristol Keats by Mary E. Pearson explores second chances – the ones we are denied and the ones we refuse to give – and the lines we cross that may never be forgiven.

Born to an American myth and raised in the wilds of Graceland, Lisa Marie Presley tells her whole story for the first time in this raw, riveting, one-of-a-kind memoir faithfully completed by her daughter, Riley Keough.

In 2022, Lisa Marie Presley asked her daughter to help finally finish her long-conceived memoir.

A month later, Lisa Marie was dead, and the world would never know her story in her own words; never know the passionate, joyful, caring, and complicated woman that Riley loved and grieved.

Riley got the tapes that her mother had recorded for the book, lay in her bed, and listened as Lisa Marie told story after story: about smashing golf carts together in the yards of Graceland; about the unconditional love she felt from her father; about being upstairs, just the two of them. About getting dragged screaming out of the bathroom as she ran towards his body on the floor. About living in Los Angeles with her mother, getting sent to school after school, always kicked out, always in trouble. About her singular, lifelong relationship with Danny Keough, and about being married to Michael Jackson, and what they had in common. About motherhood. About deep addiction. About ever-present grief. Riley knew she had to fulfill her mother’s wish to reveal these memories, incandescent and painful, to the world.

To make her mother known.

This extraordinary book is composed of both Lisa Marie’s and Riley’s voices, a mother and daughter communicating across the chasm of life and death as they try to heal each other. Profoundly moving and deeply revealing, From Here to the Great Unknown is a book like no other – the last words of the only child of a true legend.

A sweeping account of the social and political world of the Roman emperors by 'the world's most famous classicist' (Guardian).

Cruel control freaks, diligent workaholics or extravagant teenagers? What were the emperors of Rome really like?

In her international best-seller SPQR, Mary Beard told the thousand-year story of ancient Rome. Now, she shines her spotlight on the emperors who ruled the Roman empire, from Julius Caesar (assassinated 44 BCE) to Alexander Severus (assassinated 235 CE).

Emperor of Rome is not your usual chronological account of Roman rulers, one after another: the mad Caligula, the monster Nero, the philosopher Marcus Aurelius. Beard asks bigger questions: What power did emperors actually have? Was the Roman palace really so bloodstained?

Emperor of Rome goes directly to the heart of Roman (and our own) fantasies about what it was to be Roman, offering an account of Roman history as it has never been presented before.

I am tired of being used, hurt, and cast aside. Adelina Amouteru is a survivor of the blood fever. A decade ago, the deadly illness swept through her nation. Most of the infected perished, while many of the children who survived were left with strange markings. Adelina's black hair turned silver, her lashes went pale, and now she has only a jagged scar where her left eye once was. Her cruel father believes she is a malfetto, an abomination, ruining their family's good name and standing in the way of their fortune. But some of the fever's survivors are rumored to possess more than just scars-they are believed to have mysterious and powerful gifts, and though their identities remain secret, they have come to be called the Young Elites. Teren Santoro works for the king. As Leader of the Inquisition Axis, it is his job to seek out the Young Elites, to destroy them before they destroy the nation. He believes the Young Elites to be dangerous and vengeful, but it's Teren who may possess the darkest secret of all. Enzo Valenciano is a member of the Dagger Society. This secret sect of Young Elites seeks out others like them before the Inquisition Axis can. But when the Daggers find Adelina, they discover someone with powers like they've never seen. Adelina wants to believe Enzo is on her side, and that Teren is the true enemy. But the lives of these three will collide in unexpected ways, as each fights a very different and personal battle. But of one thing they are all certain: Adelina has abilities that shouldn't belong in this world. A vengeful blackness in her heart. And a desire to destroy all who dare to cross her. It is my turn to use. My turn to hurt.

Adelina Amouteru's heart is set on revenge. Now known and feared as the White Wolf, she and her sister flee Kenettra to find other Young Elites in the hopes of building her own army. Her goal: to strike down the Inquisition Axis, the white-cloaked soldiers who nearly killed her. But Adelina is no heroine. Teren Santoro, leader of the Inquisition, wants her dead. And her former friends at the Dagger Society want to stop her thirst for vengeance. Adelina struggles to cling to the good within her. But how can someone be good, when her very existence depends on darkness?

Hy sug. “Weet jy wat dink ek? Ek dink jy moenie so hard dink en worrie oor wat Christa sê nie, en ek dink nie jy moet verliefraak van jou lysie afhaal nie.”

Sy wikkel haar net daar uit sy omhelsing los. “Wie sê dis op my lysie!”

“O, ek wéét dis op jou lysie.” Hy glimlag en dan trek hy haar weer terug in sy arms, sy arm om haar middellyf; sy bene onmiddellik weer die ene seekat oor hare. “Toe, hou nou op worrie oor nonsens. Slaap. Jy gaan jou energie moreoggend nodig kry as jy wakkerword.” Met dié druk hy sy lyf teenaan hare. Gits. Sekere dele van sy lyf is nie heeltemal so aan die slaap as wat hy dalk dink nie.

“Hmmm” grom hy in haar nek as hy ook sy lyf se reaksie voel. “Jy gaan dalk jou energie in die middel van die nag al benodig as ek sake so uitkyk!”

Vir ‘n ruk lank lê hulle so – rustig en salig – totdat Meiring die stilte onderbreek. “Mag ek vra waar jy aan jou inspirasie gekom het?”

“Met die ys en als?” vra sy.

“Ja … veral met die als.”

“O, ek het dit op YouTube gesien.”

Daar is ’n oomblik se stilte. “Jy is nie ernstig nie.”

Moet sy hom vertel van die seksghoeroe wat sy ontdek het wat videolesse aanbied oor hoe om ’n man te verlei? Nee, wat.

“Ek grap net. Jou ysidee het my geïnspireer,” sê sy.

Hy soen haar in die nek. “Dan sal ek met meer idees vorendag moet kom.”

Toe Karen se man haar vir ’n jonger weergawe los, besluit sy: Dis tyd om te waag.

’n Vriendin vertel haar van die eienaar van ’n toermaatskappy wat glo ’n bobaasverleier en uitstekende minnaar is …

Hy stem in om Karen uit haar penarie te red en gou beleef sy avonture waarvan sy voorheen net kon droom. Avonture het egter ’n manier om jou onverhoeds te betrap en jou op afdraaipaaie te neem wat jy nooit sien kom het nie.

’n Onskuldige man word in sy motorhuis met ’n jaggeweer doodgeskiet. ’n Jong vrou se lyk hang aan ’n boomtak diep in die Magaliesberg.

Speurder-kaptein Alek Strauss en sy span by die Fiskale Spesiale Ondersoekeenheid is verbysterd. Iewers is ’n moordenaar wat slu speletjies speel.

Why is the scale moving in the wrong direction even though I haven’t changed my diet or exercise habits? Time and again, this is the question Dr. Mary Claire Haver’s patients asked. At first, a practicing OB/GYN, she’d dutifully advise what she’d been taught in medical school: eat less and work out more. But that standard advice didn’t solve the problems caused by perimenopause and menopause because back then she—and so many other doctors—hadn’t taken into account the physiological factors affecting women. They tend to store fat, they can have a hard time accessing that stored fat as active fuel, and their hormonal fluctuations in midlife exacerbate the situation.

Then, Dr. Haver found herself in this exact predicament with the added issues of low energy, hot flashes, and brain fog. So she set out to develop a nutrition program that would meet her own and her patients’ needs once and for all. Now, more than 100,000 women have found success in Dr. Haver’s unique plan for losing dangerous belly fat and reducing menopausal symptoms by following her three interconnected strategies:

• Fuel Refocus: Starting in their thirties, women need a specific ratio of healthy fats, lean protein, and quality carbohydrates to optimize their overall health and efficiently burn fat as fuel.
• Intermittent Fasting: 16 hours of fasting with a flexible 8-hour eating window coaxes the body to draw energy from stored fat and decreases inflammation.
• Anti-inflammatory Nutrition: Limit added sugars, processed carbs, chemical additives and preservatives and layer in anti-inflammatory foods like leafy greens, olive oil, berries, nuts, and tomatoes.

With these three principles working together, women can lose the weight they tend to gain in middle age as well as enjoy newfound energy, better sleep, less brain fog, and fewer hot flashes. Featuring forty delicious recipes, six weeks of easy-to-follow meal plans, shopping lists, and success stories of women who have changed their lives on this lifestyle plan, The Galveston Diet—named for Dr. Haver’s hometown—will revolutionize the conversation around health and empowerment during menopause and perimenopause, with health benefits that last a lifetime.

Bekende sakeman Peet Hoffman word laatnag in sy studeerkamer doodgeskiet.

Die vroulike slagoffer is op ’n veel gruweliker wyse om die lewe gebring, maar die modus operandi van al drie moorde toon duidelike ooreenkomste.

Waarom het Terese Ebersohn se moordenaar haar met soveel passie gehaat? En hoe hou die drie moorde verband met die ontvoering van ’n bejaarde man kort daarna?

Voor hy hom kom kry, bevind majoor Alek Strauss hom in die middel van ’n klein oorlog waarin die raaisels van die hede slegs deur die verlede opgelos kan word.
