Imogen Waterstone hosszú évek óta bosszút forral barátnője gyilkosa ellen. Nagybátyja halálával váratlan lehetőséghez jut: csapdát állíthat ellenfelének. Elhireszteli, hogy az örökség részeként a tulajdonába került egy térkép is, amely felbecsülhetetlen értékű ókori kincs nyomára vezet. Arra számít, hogy a gyilkos expedíciót szervez a színarany pecsétnyomó felkutatására. Imogen reményei szerint arra majd csak az út végén - amikorra ellenfelének minden pénze elúszott - derül fény, hogy a kincs sohasem létezett. A terv végrehajtásához azonban segítségre van szüksége. Segítőtársul a híres felfedezőt, Colchester earljét szemeli ki. Ám a férfi, akinek múltja botrányoktól sem mentes, visszautasítja a lány kérését. Épp ő adja a nevét ehhez az őrültséghez? Ő, aki hitelt érdemlően bizonyítani tudja, hogy a kincs nem létezik! Nem létezik?

On a July afternoon, a young woman's body is dredged from Sweden's beautiful Lake Vattern. With no clues Beck begins an investigation not only to uncover a murderer but also to discover who the victim was. Three months later, all Beck knows is that her name was Roseanna and that she could have been strangled by any one of eighty-five people on a cruise. As the melancholic Beck narrows the list of suspects, he is drawn increasingly to the enigma of the victim, a free-spirited traveler with a penchant for casual sex, and to the psychopathology of a murderer with a distinctive--indeed, terrifying--sense of propriety.

Tryant, blackmailer, racketeer, murder, his influence reaches every level of American society. Meet Don Corleone, a friendly man, a just man, a reasonable man. The deadliest lord of the Cosa Nostra. The Godfather. A modern masterpiece, The Godfather is the epic story of organised crime in the 1940s. It is also the intimate story of the Corleone family, at once drawn together and ripped apart by its unique position at the core of the American Mafia. Still shocking more than a quarter-century after it was first published, this compelling tale of blackmail, murder and family values is a true classic.

Parkinson's Law states that 'work expands to fill the time available'. While strenuously denied by management consultants, bureaucrats and efficiency experts, the law is borne out by disinterested observation of any organization. The book goes far beyond its famous theorem, though. The author goes on to explain how to meet the most important people at a social gathering and why, as a matter of mathematical certainty, the time spent debating an issue is inversely proportional to its objective importance. Justly famous for more than forty years, Parkinson's Law is at once a bracingly cynical primer on the reality of human organization, and an innoculation against the wilful optimism to which we as a species are prone.

'She combined literary prose with powerful suspense, and it takes a rare talent to achieve that. A truly great storyteller.' Minette Walters
