And then, when she returns home, she uncovers a hidden letter, and begins to remember the lover she was willing to risk everything for.Ellie and Jennifer's stories of passion, adultery and loss are wound together in this richly emotive novel - interspersed with real 'last letters'.

Una ragazza, nuda, in una grotta che affaccia su una spiaggia appartata della città, l'hanno uccisa con una coltellata al cuore. Un abito da sposa che galleggia sull'acqua. In un febbraio gelido che sembra ricacciare indietro nell'anima i sentimenti, impedendogli di uscire alla luce del sole, Lojacono e i Bastardi si trovano a indagare su un omicidio che non ha alcuna spiegazione evidente. O forse ne ha troppe. Ognuno con il proprio segreto, ognuno con il proprio sogno ben nascosto, i poliziotti di Pizzofalcone ce la metteranno tutta per risolvere il mistero: la ragazza della grotta lo esige. Perché non solo qualcuno le ha tolto il futuro, ma lo ha fatto un attimo prima di un giorno speciale. Quello che doveva essere il più bello della sua vita.

Negli anni Cinquanta il lavoro cinematografico porta Goliarda Sapienza a Positano, rivelandole un angolo di mondo quasi intatto, popolato da un'umanità con una dolcezza sconosciuta. È la scoperta di una felicità senza aggettivi. La conca protetta dalle montagne e dai silenzi del mare diventa il suo rifugio e risveglia le emozioni del corpo, a lungo inaridite dagli orrori della guerra e dalla frenesia della città. E li, tra l'oro e l'azzurro del mare, in un'atmosfera fuori dal tempo, una figura di donna si muove a passo di danza sulle scalinate del paese. La gente del posto la chiama principessa, ha una bellezza antica, gli occhi che cambiano colore. Quello tra Erica e Goliarda è un incontro felice, immerso in una pace che si avvicina all'ebbrezza: l'inizio di un rapporto che nel corso degli anni si fa sempre più intenso, tra i fantasmi del passato e le ombre imminenti. Conoscersi, svelarsi, cambiare, sono i pilastri di quella vicinanza. Una storia che la memoria non riesce a scolorire e anzi trasforma in romanzo: la rievocazione di un'amicizia perduta e l'affresco di un luogo che non esiste più, ma che rivive grazie a una scrittura sensoriale, vibrante di suggestioni.

Some cases never leave you. For John Rebus, forty years may have passed, but the death of beautiful, promiscuous Maria Turquand still preys on his mind. Murdered in her hotel room on the night a famous rock star and his entourage were staying there, Maria's killer has never been found. Meanwhile, the dark heart of Edinburgh remains up for grabs.

In a tale of twisted power, deep-rooted corruption and bitter rivalries, Rather Be the Devil showcases Rankin and Rebus at their unstoppable best.

Beowulf is the greatest surviving work of literature in Old English, unparalleled in its epic grandeur and scope. It tells the story of the heroic Beowulf and of his battles, first with the monster Grendel, who has laid waste to the great hall of the Danish king Hrothgar, then with Grendel's avenging mother, and finally with a dragon that threatens to devastate his homeland. Through its blend of myth and history, Beowulf vividly evokes a twilight world in which men and supernatural forces live side by side. And it celebrates the endurance of the human spirit in a transient world.
