The Killer on the Wall - Emma Kavanagh - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

The Killer on the Wall - Emma Kavanagh - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

The first body comes as a shock The second brings horror The third signals the beginning of a nightmare When fifteen-year-old Isla Bell finds three bodies propped against Hadrian’s Wall, her whole world falls apart. In such a close-knit community, everyone knows the victims, and the man who did it. Twenty years on and Isla has dedicated her life to forensic psychology; studying the brains of serial killers, and even coming face to face with the convicted murderer who turned her world upside down. She is safe after all, with him behind bars. Then another body appears against the Wall. And another. As the nightmare returns and the body count rises, everyone in town is a suspect. Who is the Killer on the Wall? Praise for The Killer on the Wall ''The Killer on the Wall is several cuts above your usual psychological thriller. It’s beautifully written, emotionally involving and psychologically complex. You know you’re in the hands of a writer who really understands her subject matter. The story is skilfully told and so subtly nuanced, I gave up trying to guess where it was going and let myself be swept along with it, totally engrossed. And when the final twist came I said ‘oh my god’, and then almost immediately ‘of course’. Classy atmospheric and satisfying. Read it.'' - Tammy Cohen

The First Book of Calamity Leek - Paula Lichtarowicz - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

The First Book of Calamity Leek - Paula Lichtarowicz - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

Brilliantly inventive and original. This debut novel tells the story of Calamity Leek: a girl who has never been allowed beyond the garden wall, until now.

For as long as she can remember, Calamity, along with her sixteen sisters, lived in a Garden behind the Wall of Safekeeping. Like it said in Aunty''s Appendix on the first page of the Ps: ''Everything has a purpose'', and they were being trained for a very special one. In the Ns the Appendix said, ''Nosiness leads to nonsense''. As Calamity sees it, this is what led to their Garden''s downfall, because when the sisters started questioning what was outside the Wall, they started questioning what was happening inside it too. But doubt is contagious.Watching your world crumble is frightening. And people who are frightened can be dangerous.

Psychovertical - Andy Kirkpatrick - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

Psychovertical - Andy Kirkpatrick - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

WINNER OF THE BOARDMAN TASKER PRIZE 2008 Metro magazine recently wrote that Andy Kirkpatrick makes Ray Mears look like Paris Hilton. Words like boldness, adventure and risk were surely coined especially for him. As one of the world''s most accomplished mountaineers and big-wall climbers, he goes vertically where other climbers (to say nothing of the general public) fear to tread.For the first time, this cult hero of vertical rock has written a book, in which his thirteen-day ascent of Reticent Wall on El Capitan in California - the hardest big-wall climb ever soloed by a Briton - frames a challenging autobiography. From childhood on a grim inner-city housing estate in Hull, the story moves through horrific encounters and unique athletic achievements at the extremes of the earth. As he writes, ''Climbs like this make no sense ... the chances of dying on the route are high.'' Yet Andy, in his thirties with young children, has everything to live for. This is the paradox at the heart of the story.This book - by turns gut-wrenching, entertaining and challenging - appeals to the adventurer in all of us.

Littlejohn's Britain - Richard Littlejohn - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

Littlejohn's Britain - Richard Littlejohn - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

Richard Littlejohn''s cast of characters ­ including Two Jags, the Wicked Witch, Captain Hook and the Mad Mullah of the Traffic Taliban ­ are now part of the fabric of the nation. He ridicules the country Britain has become over the past ten years - the barmy bureaucracy, the surveillance state, the petty interference in our lives, the suffocating regulations, policemen and judges who think they''re part of the social services and the insanities of the ''elf ''n'' safety industry, which has created such idiocies as forcing revellers celebrating Guy Fawkes Night to watch a bonfire on a big screen.''Littlejohn has been ... a vivid exponent of a great British columnar style that stretches back five centuries or more. He''s a distant, bastard cousin of Thomas Nash, Daniel Defoe and Alexander Pope. Cassandra and Bernard Levin might justly buy him a pint in the Cheshire Cheese. Like or loathe him, he''s the real, talented deal.'' Observer

A Jealous Ghost - A. N. Wilson - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

There is something rather disquieting about Sallie Declan, a young American in London, and it is not just her obsession with Henry James''s The Turn of the Screw , the subject of her PhD thesis. There is her decision, almost casually taken, to leave her studies for a temporary job as a nanny in a large country house. She seems to display astonishing naivety as she build a fantasy about her emotional future there. Surely she can see it is all delusion? But a progressively darker reality unfolds as we are led inexorably towards a terrible and shocking climax.

The Quants - Scott Patterson - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

You''re a genius. Nobody plays the financial markets better than you. What could possibly go wrong? Quants - quantitative analysts - were the maths masterminds let loose on Wall Street in the belief that their brilliant, impregnable computer programs would always beat the market. But as the catastrophic events of 2007 and 2008 showed, their seemingly failproof methods were little more than ticking timebombs.Inspired by the ''Godfather of Quants'' - maths-professor-turned-gambler Ed Thorp, who began applying skills learned at the Vegas tables to the financial markets back in the 1950s - the quants achieved extraordinary success and massive wealth. This book charts their rise from obscurity to boom and then to bust, explaining why they were so confident - and how they got it so disastrously wrong.
