The Stranger appears out of nowhere, perhaps in a bar, or a parking lot, or at the grocery store. His identity is unknown. His motives are unclear. His information is undeniable. Then he whispers a few words in your ear and disappears, leaving you picking up the pieces of your shattered world. Adam Price has a lot to lose: a comfortable marriage to a beautiful woman, two wonderful sons, and all the trappings of the American Dream - a big house, a good job, a seemingly perfect life. Then he runs into the Stranger. When he learns a devastating secret about his wife, Corrine, he confronts her, and the mirage of perfection disappears as if it never existed at all. Soon Adam finds himself tangled in something far darker than even Corrine's deception, and realises that if he doesn't make exactly the right moves, the conspiracy he's stumbled into will not only ruin lives - it will end them.

Kriminalroman. Deborah St James diskuterer i National Gallery med en anglikansk præst, hvorfor mon Josef er udeladt på et billede af jomfru Maria og Jesusbarnet. Kort efter bliver præsten forgiftet, og inspector Lynley går ind i sagen Titel: Missing Joseph Genre: Krimi Sammendrag: When Deborah St James seeks refuge from the rain and her own sadness in the National Gallery, she does not expect to find herself confessing her anguish to an Anglican priest, Robin Sage. Still less to be doing so as they contemplate Leonardo's cartoon of the Virgin and Child with St Anne, wondering why – yet again – poor Joseph should have been excluded. Far more shocking than confiding in a stranger is the discovery, just a few months later, that the Reverend Sage is dead – from accidental poisoning. But as Deborah and her husband, Simon, soon realize, the Vicar's death was far from straightforward. As their

A Novel When the stock market crashes on the Thursday before Easter, you—an ambitious, although ineffectual and not entirely ethical young broker—are convinced that you’re facing the Weekend from Hell. Before the market reopens on Monday, you’re going to have to scramble and scheme to cover your butt, but there’s no way you can anticipate the baffling disappearance of a 300-pound psychic, the fall from grace of a born-again monkey, or the intrusion in your life of a tattooed stranger intent on blowing your mind and most of your fuses. Over these fateful three days, you will be forced to confront everything from mysterious African rituals to legendary amphibians, from tarot-card bombshells to street violence, from your own sexuality to outer space. This is, after all, a Tom Robbins novel—and the author has never been in finer form. Forfatter: Tom Robbins Forlag: Bantam Udgivelsesår: 1995
