Výživa není v žádném životním období tak důležitá, jako v době těhotenství. Vše, co si tehdy dopřejeme či nedopřejeme, se odrazí na zdraví našeho očekávaného dítěte a stane se základem jeho úspěšného duševního i fyzického vývoje.

She's accused of four murders. She's only guilty of three... When Ruby was a child growing up in Miami, she saw a boy from her school struggling against the ocean waves while his parents were preoccupied. Instead of helping him, Ruby dove under the water and held his ankle down until he drowned. She waited to feel guilty for it, but she never did. And, as Ruby will argue in her senior thesis while studying psychology at Yale, guilt is sort of like eating ice cream while on a diet - if you're already feeling bad, why not eat the whole carton? And so, the bodies start to stack up. Twenty-five years later, Ruby's in an interrogation room under suspicion of murder, being shown four photographs. Each is a person she once knew, now deceased. The line-up includes her husband Jason. She is responsible for three of the four deaths... but it might be the crime that she didn't commit that will finally ensnare her. From the Emmy Award-winning Executive Producer of The Bold Type, this darkly funny and compulsively page-turning novel is perfect for fans of Caroline Kepnes' You and Oyinkan Braithwaite's My Sister the Serial Killer.

The master of the medical thriller returns with his latest heart-pounding drama Twenty-eight-year-old Sean McGillin seems the picture of youthful good health, until he fractures a leg while skating in New York City's Central Park. Nothing life-threatening, yet within twenty-four hours of his surgical treatment he is dead. Next, a thirty-six-year-old mother, Darlene Morgan receives minor knee surgery to repair a torn ligament - and within twenty-four hours she too has died. New York City medical examiners Dr. Laurie Montgomery and Dr. Jack Stapleton appear again in Robin Cook's electrifying twenty-fifth novel, as they confront a series of puzzling hospital deaths of young and healthy patients after undergoing successful treatment. Despite resistance from her superiors, Laurie doggedly pursues the investigation. Though it seems impossible to determine why and how these patients are dying, she comes to realise that not only are the fatalities somehow related - they're cold-bloodedly intentional. Can it be that Laurie has stumbled upon the trail of a remarkably clever serial killer - one with a very unusual motive and with disturbing ties to both medical research and the cut and thrust of modern health care? As Laurie's personal life continues to unravel disastrously, the need for answers becomes ever more urgent.
