France, July 1935: Le Rayol, at the poor man’s end of the Riviera, seems a world away from the rumblings of a continent gearing up for war. Here, within its community of artists, expatriates and refugees, Tom Nash has rebuilt his life after walking away early from a career in the Secret Intelligence Service.

His past, though, is less willing to leave him behind. A midnight intruder attempts to kill him, and Tom knows it is just a matter of time before another attempt is made. Gathered at Le Rayol for the summer months are all those he holds most dear, including his beloved goddaughter Lucy.

It becomes clear, though, that one of them must have betrayed him. If he is to live, Tom must draw his enemy out, but at what cost to himself and the people he loves...?

Ben Makepeace has barely thought of Jacob since school. What he remembers is a competitive, manipulative boy, impinging on his life like a cuckoo planted in a nest.

A call to meet hedge-fund billionaire Victor Sheldon is promising, but there's a surprise in store - Victor is Jacob, now firmly entrenched in a gilded world of riches and glamour.

History can cast a long shadow and while Ben believes his childhood is well over, he soon discovers the roots of the past dig deep, and some can't let it go.

The sheer volume of talk about energy, energy prices, and energy policy on both sides of the political aisle suggests that we must know something about these subjects. But according to Peter W. Huber and Mark P. Mills, the things we think we know are mostly myths. A better understanding of energy will radically change our views and policies on a number of very controversial issues. In The Bottomless Well , Huber and Mills show why energy is not scarce, why the pri

"Cover me while I cut around that blue Mondeo and ambush the guy in the grey suit.” &t;br/&t; There are not many successful entrepreneurs who will enthusiastically break off in the middle of a multi-million pound deal to have a huge snowball fight in the car park with their finance director. &t;br/&t; But then Mark Mills is not just any successful entrepreneur.

Весна 1942 года. Британский офицер Максимилиан Чедвик откомандирован на Мальту, военно-морскую базу Великобритании, которую безжалостно бомбят фашисты. Его цель - положительно повлиять на моральный климат среди испытывающего колоссальные тяготы местного населения острова, а значит, тщательно дозировать информацию, чтобы не будоражить общественное мнение. И когда Чедвик узнает о жестоком убийстве нескольких мальтийских женщин, в которых замешан военнослужащий англичанин с маниакальными наклонностями, он, не предавая подробности огласке, чтобы избежать скандала, берется лично изобличить преступника. Увлекшись расследованием, Чедвик слишком…

Профессор Леонард, преподаватель истории искусства Кембриджского университета, оказал большое доверие своему студенту Адаму Стрикленду и предложил ему в качестве темы для курсовой работы исследование сада старинной виллы в Тоскане, чуть южнее Флоренции. Поначалу сад не вызывал у Адама особого интереса, но позже, когда в расположении и позах античных скульптур проявился некий сюжет, Адам понял, что сад заключает в себе послание. Вилла, в которой всегда была заперта дверь на третий этаж, и сад хранили тайны семьи Доччи. И далеко не все были рады тому, что Адам попытался их раскрыть.

In the small town of Amagansett, perched on Long Island's windswept coast, generations have followed the same calling as their forefathers, fishing the dangerous Atlantic waters. Little has changed in the three centuries since white settlers drove the Montaukett Indians from the land. But for Conrad Labarde, a second-generation Basque immigrant recently returned from the Second World War, and his fellow fisherman Rollo Kemp, this stability is shattered when a beautiful New York socialite turns up dead in their nets.

On the face of it, her death was accidental, but deputy police chief Tom Hollis – an incomer from New York – is convinced the truth lies in the intricate histories and family secrets of Amagansett's inhabitants. Meanwhile the enigmatic Labarde is pursuing his own investigation.

In unravelling the mystery, this haunting and evocative novel captures a community whose way of life is disappearing, its demise hastened by war in Europe and the incursions of wealthy city dwellers in search of a playground.
