      Van populair weblog naar New York Times-bestseller is dit hét boek voor zelfhulphaters! Stop met altijd maar positief zijn, en leer in plaats daarvan om te gaan met je tekortkomingen en de tegenslagen in het leven. Zodra je niet meer wegrent voor je angsten, fouten en onzekerheden maar de pijnlijke waarheid onder ogen durft te zien, vind je de moed en het zelfvertrouwen waar je in deze tijd zo’n behoefte aan hebt. Mark Manson geeft je de tools om te kiezen waar jij om geeft, en dus ook waar je niet om geeft. Dat idee omarmen werkt bevrijdend. Humoristisch en vol goede grappen, maar bovenal ondersteund door wetenschappelijk onderzoek.

      When your son can't look you in the eye...does that mean he's guilty? Jacob Hunt is a teen with Asperger's syndrome. He's hopeless at reading social cues or expressing himself well to others, though he is brilliant in many ways. But he has a special focus on one subject - forensic analysis. A police scanner in his room clues him in to crime scenes, and he's always showing up and telling the cops what to do. And he's usually right.But when Jacob's small hometown is rocked by a terrible murder, law enforcement comes to him. Jacob's behaviors are hallmark Asperger's, but they look a lot like guilt to the local police. Suddenly the Hunt family, who only want to fit in, are directly in the spotlight. For Jacob's mother, Emma, it's a brutal reminder of the intolerance and misunderstanding that always threaten her family. For his brother, Theo, it's another indication why nothing is normal because of Jacob.And over this small family, the soul-searing question looms: Did Jacob commit murder?

      Wilton Cooper is at a drive-in movie when he notices the ugly white boy walk into the projection booth. Seconds later a gun goes off, perfectly timed to coincide with the movie?s noisy climax. When the boy struts coolly out, blood sprayed on the front of his cheap print shirt, Cooper knows he?s found his partner. King Suckerman weaves the blaxploitation films, the drug deals, the soul music and the racial tensions that defined the ?70?s into a story of natural-born killers and two men who risk everything to bring them down. This is the second novel in the DC Quartet, the most explosive contribution to crime fiction since Ellroy?s LA Quartet.
