The Patriot Threat - Steve Berry - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

A provocative thriller for fans of Dan Brown and David Baldacci, from the top-ten New York Times bestselling author. The 16th Amendment to the Constitution legalized federal income tax, but what if there were problems with the 1913 ratification of that amendment? Problems that call into question decades of tax collecting, and could even bring down the US economy. There is a surprising truth to this possibility - a truth wholly entertained by Steve Berry in this fast-paced thriller.His protagonist, Cotton Malone, once a member of an elite intelligence division within the Justice Department known as the Magellan Billet, is now retired. But when his former-boss, Stephanie Nelle, asks him to track a rogue North Korean who may have acquired some top secret Treasury Department files - the kind that could bring the United States to its knees. Malone is vaulted into a harrowing twenty-four-hour chase that begins on the water in Venice and ends in the remote highlands of Croatia.With appearances by Franklin Roosevelt, Andrew Mellon, and a curious painting that still hangs in the National Gallery of Art, Steve Berry''s trademark mix of history and suspense is 90% fact and 10% exciting speculation.

My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me - Nikola Sellmair - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

What would you do if you uncovered your family''s darkest secret? That is exactly what happened when Jennifer Teege, a German-Nigerian woman, happened to pluck a library book from the shelf. In that moment, she had no idea that her life would be irrevocably altered. As she flicked through the book''s photographs, she realised that her grandfather was Amon Goeth, the vicious Nazi commandant chillingly depicted by Ralph Fiennes in Schindler''s List - a man known and reviled the world over. Although raised in an orphanage and eventually adopted, Teege had some contact with her biological mother and grandmother as a child. Yet neither revealed that Teege''s grandfather was the Nazi ''butcher of Plaszów'', executed for crimes against humanity in 1946. The more Teege read about Amon Goeth, the more certain she became: if her grandfather had met her - a Black woman - he would have killed her.Teege''s discovery sent her, at age 38, into a severe depression - and on a quest to unearth and fully comprehend her family''s haunted history. Her research took her to Krakow - to the sites of the Jewish ghetto her grandfather ''cleared'' in 1943 and the Plaszów concentration camp he then commanded - and back to Israel, where she herself once attended college, learned fluent Hebrew, and formed lasting friendships. Co-written with award-winning journalist Nikola Sellmair, My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me traces Teege''s resolute search for the truth, leading her, step by step, to the possibility of her own liberation.

Cecil Beaton - Hugo Vickers - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

Cecil Beaton was one of Britain''s greatest cultural icons - not just as a photographer capturing some of the most celebrated portraits of the 20th century but also as designer of the iconic sets and costumes for the films My Fair Lady and Gigi . In 1980, Beaton personally chose Hugo Vickers to be his biographer, entrusting him with his diaries and the entire body of letters he had written - both personally and professionally - over the course of his life. Drawing on five years of intensive research and interviews with the likes of Audrey Hepburn, Truman Capote, Princess Grace of Monaco and Sir John Gielgud, Vickers'' biography was an instant bestseller upon its publication in 1985. Exploring Beaton''s metamorphosis from being the child of a staid middle-class family to an international figure mingling with the glittering stars of his age, the biography also details his great love for Greta Garbo and reveals his private sense of failure that the success he always wanted - as a playwright - eluded him. Republished in a new paperback edition in time for Bright Young Things , a major exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in 2020, Cecil Beaton is the definitive and authorised biography of one of the world''s most fascinating, famous and admired photographers.

I highly recommend this book by a seriously good author. є є є є є Reader review It was the front cover that attracted me to this book and I''m glad it did. The story is set in a magical world that felt so real. It manages to be both humorous and scary. The characters were well built and described so well that I felt I was in an RPG computer game! є є є є є Reader review This is the beginning of a fantastic series of books.
