A thrilling and long-awaited new novel from globally bestselling author
Dan Brown
Accompanying celebrated academic, Katherine Solomon, to a lecture she’s
been invited to give in Prague, Robert Langdon’s world spirals out of
control when she disappears without trace from their hotel room. Far
from home and well out of his comfort zone, Langdon must pit his wits
against forces unknown to recover the woman he loves.
But Prague is an old and dangerous city, steeped in folklore and
mystery. For over two thousand years, the tides of history have washed
back and forth over it, leaving behind echoes of everything that has
gone before. Little can Langdon know that he is being stalked by a
spectre from that dark past. He must use all of his arcane knowledge to
decipher the world around him before he too is consumed by the rings of
treachery and deception that have swallowed Katherine.
Against a backdrop of vast castles, towering churches, graveyards
buried twelve deep and labyrinthine underground passages, Langdon must
navigate a shadow city hiding in plain sight, a city which has
successfully kept its secrets for centuries and will not readily
deliver them. This is a battlefield unlike any he has previously
experienced, one on which he must fight not for his only life, but for
the future of humanity itself.
The Secret Of Secrets is Dan Brown’s first novel for over eight years
and sees the stunning return of Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon,
this time pitting his wits against a conspiracy which will test even
his considerable brainpower and take him to the edge of losing all that
he holds dear…

confessions from even the toughest criminals. With a 99% success rate,
his cases, from catching serial killer Jimmy Maketta to investigating

profilers. In this memoir, Michael Behr explores Morris’s high-profile
investigations and personal struggles, revealing the man behind the
badge in a gripping blend of true crime and personal story.
When Covid-19 pulled the rug out from under Marita van der Vyver and
her Frenchman's feet and they were forced to sell their old, large
house in the French countryside, they decided to get rid of most of
their earthly possessions and travel far across the world. In this
journey, which spans three continents, a lifetime of memories from one
of Afrikaans’s greatest writers is explored. Sometimes you have to lose
a lot, and also be willing to lose yourself, before you can truly gain
freedom.
Toe Covid-19 die mat onder Marita van der Vyver en haar Fransman se
voete uitruk en hulle noodgedwonge hul ou groot huis op die Franse
platteland moes verkoop, besluit hulle om die meeste van hulle aardse
besittings ontslae te raak en ver in die wêreld te gaan reis. In
hierdie reis, wat oor drie vastelande strek, word ’n hele leeftyd se
herinneringe ontgin. Want soms moet mens baie verloor, en ook bereid
wees om self verlore te raak, voor mens regtig vryheid kan wen.
Eben Etzebeth is tans die speler wat al die meeste toetswedstryde in
die Suid-Afrikaanse rugbygeskiedenis gespeel het. Op die veld word
hierdie ellelange slot se intelligensie, energie en aggressie gevrees,
gerespekteer en dikwels nageboots – maar hy bly ongeëwenaard.
Hy is lid van die Springbokke se senior leierskapsgroep, en speel ’n
deurslaggewende rol in ’n ongelooflik suksesverhaal wat twee
agtereenvolgende Wêreldbekers insluit, asook die span se posisie boaan
die wêreldranglys die afgelope twee jaar.
In hierdie eerlike en onderhoudende vertelling beskryf Eben van die
vernaamste faktore vir sy buitengewone sukses, en hoe hy gefokus bly –
op en van die veld af. Van sy beskeie kinderjare in Goodwood – ’n
voorstad van Kaapstad waar niks maklik kom nie – regdeur sy vroeë
klubloopbaan, tot by sy swaar verdiende plek in die Suid-Afrikaanse
nasionale span, vertel Ten slotte die verhaal van ’n merkwaardige
sportloopbaan.
Maggie McCabe is teetering on the brink. A highly skilled and renowned
Army combat surgeon, she has always lived life at the edge, where she
could make the most impact. And it was all going to plan…until it
wasn’t.
Upside down after a devastating series of tragedies leads to her
medical license being revoked, Maggie has lost her purpose, but not her
nerve or her passion. At her lowest point, she is thrown a lifeline by
a former colleague, an elite plastic surgeon whose anonymous clientele
demand the best care money can buy, as well as absolute discretion.
Halfway across the globe, sequestered in the lap of luxury and
cutting-edge technology, one of the world’s most mysterious men
requires unconventional medical assistance. Desperate, and one of the
few surgeons in the world skilled enough to take this job, Maggie
enters his realm of unspeakable opulence and fulfills her end of the
agreement. But when the patient suddenly disappears while still under
her care, Maggie must become a fugitive herself – or she will be the
next one who is…
Eben Etzebeth is the most-capped player in South African rugby history.
A towering lock, his intelligence, energy and aggression on the pitch

He is the heart and soul of a historically successful Springbok team
and a key part of their astonishingly successful run that encompasses
two consecutive World Cups and a current two-year-stint at the top of
the world rankings. In this frank and disarming account, Eben uncovers
the key factors in his extraordinary success, and how he keeps
focussed, both on and off the pitch. From his humble beginnings in
Goodwood, a Cape Town suburb where nothing came easy, through his early
club career and on to his hard-won place within the South African
squad, UNLOCKED reveals the personal side of an astonishing
professional career.
This is an inspiring story of a man who has led from the front, and
played against the best in the world.

Waters and Ian McEwan's Atonement.
It is fifteen years after the Second World War, and Isabel has built
herself a solitary life of discipline and strict routine in her late
mother's country home, with not a fork or a word out of place. But all
is upended when her brother Louis delivers his graceless new
girlfriend, Eva, at Isabel's doorstep - as a guest, there to stay for
the season…

revelation which threatens to unravel all she has ever known.
Separated by darkness, bound by love.
For Brielle, survival isn’t just a fight—it’s a promise she’s made to
herself, to find her way back to Lincoln. Taken by the prince of
darkness, Brielle faces an existence in the depths of his dominion that
is meant to crush all hope. But hope is the one thing she refuses to
lose. With every grueling day, she discovers new strength and finds an
unlikely ally who reminds her that surrender isn’t an option.
Meanwhile, Lincoln fights his own battle, haunted by the loss of
Brielle and the possibility that she may never return. Yet, in the face
of despair, he clings to the hope of a reunion, knowing that their love
is the only light in the darkness closing in on them both.
Will they find a way to reunite against impossible odds, or has the
darkness claimed them forever?
Unlock a new dimension in leadership by asking better questions.
Answers are overrated. In an unpredictable world, asking the right
questions is significantly more powerful than clinging to stale, dated
answers. What you knew yesterday won’t always take you where you need
to go. Great leaders stand apart because they know how to ask
themselves and their teams questions that spark insight, challenge
assumptions, and drive action.
52 Big Questions for Business Leaders isn’t just a collection of
prompts and provocations – it’s a guide to sharper, more intentional
thinking. Whether you’re leading a start-up or a global enterprise, the
questions in these pages will help you pause, reflect, and lead with
clarity.
Drawing on decades of leadership experience, Mike Stopforth infuses
wisdom, wit, and practical insight into the art of inquiry – because
crafting big, beautiful questions is a skill worth mastering.
This isn’t a book to read once and shelve; it’s a tool to return to
whenever you need fresh perspective, focus, or inspiration.
In the end, great leaders aren’t defined by the answers they give – but
by the questions they dare to ask.
