De verslavende Amerikaanse nummer 1 bestseller waar iedereen over praat, eerder vertaald als Donker hart Wie ben je? Wat hebben we elkaar aangedaan? Dat zijn de dingen die Nick Dunne zich afvraagt op zijn vijfde trouwdag, als zijn vrouw Amy plotseling verdwenen is. De politie verdenkt Nick. Amy’s vrienden onthullen dat ze bang voor hem was en dingen voor hem verzweeg. Hij zweert dat het niet waar is. Forensisch onderzoek van zijn computer onthult aparte googleresultaten. Hij zegt dat ze niet van hem zijn. En dan zijn er de verdachte oproepen op zijn mobiele telefoon. Wat is er gebeurd met Nicks mooie, intelligente vrouw?

There are two sides to every story... On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne’s fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick’s clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn’t doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife’s head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media—as well as Amy’s fiercely doting parents—the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he’s definitely bitter—but is he really a killer? As the cops close in, every couple in town is soon wondering how well they know the one that they love. With his twin sister, Margo, at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didn’t do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet?

È una fredda e nebbiosa giornata di novembre negli anni Trenta a Londra, e Miss Pettigrew, con un cappotto di un orrendo marrone e un'espressione timida, si trova davanti a un appartamento al 5 di Onslow Mansions. Questa mattina, dopo essersi presentata al collocamento, ha ricevuto l'indirizzo di Miss LaFosse. L'edificio, elegante e ricercato, la mette a disagio. Con i suoi abiti logori e un coraggio ormai perso, suona il campanello ripetutamente fino a quando non le apre una giovane donna, incantevole come una star del cinema. Miss Pettigrew, appassionata del mondo delle dive, sa che in quel regno fantastico non ci sono genitori autoritari né bambini insopportabili. Miss LaFosse la fa entrare e poi scompare in camera da letto, per riemergere poco dopo con un uomo in vestaglia di seta dai colori abbaglianti, costringendo Miss Pettigrew a socchiudere gli occhi. In preda all'ansia, mentre stringe la borsetta con mani tremanti, si sente già sconfitta e abbandonata prima di iniziare la battaglia per l'assunzione, ma al contempo è elettrizzata dalla situazione.

The brilliant new Rebus novel from 'Britain's No. 1 crime writer' [Daily Mirror].

With the possible exception of the crucifixion of Christ no moment of history is more universally familiar and more often depicted than the assassination of Julius Caesar. Caesar is in the prime of his life and the height of his powers as the novel opens. A man of contradictions, Caesar is happily married yet at the same time the lover of the enigmatic and subtle Egyptian ruler, Cleopatra. He is at once a great general who commands the instinctive loyalty of Rome's legions, and a man who wishes to bring to an end Rome's endless civil and external wars, a man not only conscious of his own power, and contemptuous of lesser men, but respectful of the republic, and determined not to be worshipped as a living god or crowned as an emperor, a man whose very greatness attracts envy and jealousy to a dangerous degree. With her extraordinary knowledge of Roman history, Colleen McCullough brings Caesar to life as nobody has ever done before, and surrounds him with an enormous and vivid cast of historical characters, portrayed here not as literary figures, but as real, living people, trying to control and master enormous political events and survive.
