      'This novel is a real, out-of-the-blue original. I've never read anything like it' New York Times Book Review THE MILLION-SELLING JAPANESE CRIME PHENOMENON, NOW A UK BESTSELLER. SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2016 CWA INTERNATIONAL DAGGER. NAMED IN NEW YORK TIMES 100 NOTABLE BOOKS OF 2017. SIX FOUR. THE NIGHTMARE NO PARENT COULD ENDURE. THE CASE NO DETECTIVE COULD SOLVE. THE TWIST NO READER COULD PREDICT. For five days in January 1989, the parents of a seven-year-old Tokyo schoolgirl sat and listened to the demands of their daughter's kidnapper. They would never learn his identity. They would never see their daughter again. For the fourteen years that followed, the Japanese public listened to the police's apologies. They would never forget the botched investigation that became known as 'Six Four'. They would never forgive the authorities their failure. For one week in late 2002, the press officer attached to the police department in question confronted an anomaly in the case. He could never imagine what he would uncover. He would never have looked if he'd known what he would find. Loved Six Four and want more Yokoyama? Then why not try Seventeen or Prefecture D . . .

      More than one million hardcovers sold Now available for the first time in paperback! The Classic Text Annotated to Update Graham's Timeless Wisdom for Today's Market Conditions The greatest investment advisor of the twentieth century, Benjamin Graham taught and inspired people worldwide. Graham's philosophy of "value investing" -- which shields investors from substantial error and teaches them to develop long-term strategies -- has made The Intelligent Investor the stock market bible ever since its original publication in 1949. Over the years, market developments have proven the wisdom of Graham's strategies. While preserving the integrity of Graham's original text, this revised edition includes updated commentary by noted financial journalist Jason Zweig, whose perspective incorporates the realities of today's market, draws parallels between Graham's examples and today's financial headlines, and gives readers a more thorough understanding of how to apply Graham's principles. Vital and indispensable, this HarperBusiness Essentials edition of The Intelligent Investor is the most important book you will ever read on how to reach your financial goals.

      De legende begint... Patroclus is een jonge prins, verbannen naar het koninkrijk van Phthia om daar op te groeien met godenzoon Achilles. Achilles is sterk, mooi, een gouden kind: alles wat Patroclus niet is. Maar ondanks hun verschillen raken de jongens bevriend, en hun band wordt sterker naarmate ze ouder worden. Dit tot verdriet en woede van Achilles' moeder Thetis, een wrede zeegodin die een hekel heeft aan stervelingen. Als duidelijk wordt dat Helena van Sparta ontvoerd is en alle Griekse mannen verplicht zijn om haar eer te wreken en Troje te belegeren, sluit Achilles zich aan bij het leger, verblind door de belofte van roem. Patroclus, verscheurd door liefde voor en angst om zijn vriend, gaat met hem mee. Zij weten niet dat het lot hen tot het uiterste zal testen en hun zal vragen om een verschrikkelijk offer.
