Dr. Knox - Peter Spiegelman - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Dr. Knox - Peter Spiegelman - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Dr Adam Knox returns from the war in Afghanistan a little rougher, a little wiser, and a lot more inclined to kick it to the ones at the top. The ones in charge.He sets up a clinic in Los Angeles''s most notorious district, tending to the vagrant, the vulnerable and the victims of skid row. One night they''re beseeched by a Romanian woman who comes in with her son. Her bruises give away a story she''s too scared to tell; escaping from traffickers and forced prostitution to try to get her son back. He was kidnapped by his father - who happens to be heir to one of the most influential dynasties on the West Coast.That same night, Knox is called upon for his private health service - cutting out a bullet from a businessman who was cutting himself a shady deal. Impressed by his ability to keep a secret, the impatient patient offers Knox a big tip for some extra work: helping him get revenge on the gangsters who shot him. Knox - and his clinic - need the cash.Playing one team against another, Knox must keep his wits scalpel-sharp. If his diagnosis is on the money, he might be able to trick the gangsters, free the Romanian mother and put the ones at the top in their place for once.

The Fourth Gwenevere - Caitlin Matthews - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Fourth Gwenevere - Caitlin Matthews - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

From the author of Votan - ''Probably the best book ever done about the Norse,'' says Neil Gaiman - comes a gripping new retelling in the Arthurian cycle by a masterful storyteller. Gwenevere, Arthur''s Saxon wife, is a problem. As the dynastic cement between the British and the Saxons, her marriage to Arthur will result in a child that will unite both sides. At least, that would have been the plan, had the Great Duke Arthur not died (accidentally and not at all heroically) and left the petty kings of Britain to squabble over his title.Only Morvran, Arthur''s chief fixer, has the wit to see that the Fourth Gwenevere is the key to maintaining a crumbling peace. But when she is abducted, it seems that all hopes might disappear with her.For, in a world where swords and horses have names of honour, where poets speak as oracles of a shifting truth and the raiding of Saxon warriors is set to ruin Britain, perhaps it''s only the Fourth Gwenevere herself who has the real solution? This edition contains bonus material!

Our Lady of Pain - Elena Forbes - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

When a young woman''s naked body is discovered deep in the snowy undergrowth of Holland Park, ritualistically bound and gagged, the only clue is a verse from a bizarre poem found stuffed in her mouth. The woman is Rachel Tenison, a wealthy West End art dealer, who outwardly seemed to lead a normal, fulfilled life. However, as DI Mark Tartaglia and DS Sam Donovan scratch away at the surface, a darker, secret side begins to emerge. Then a tip-off spins everything in an entirely new direction, suggesting that the case is linked to the murder a year before in North London of Catherine Watson, a university lecturer.Still haunted by the aftermath of ''The Bridegroom'' case three months before, which nearly brought about their own deaths, Tartaglia and Donovan are forced to confront their personal demons as they struggle to find what these two very different women had in common before the killer has a chance to strike again.

SAS Shadow Raiders - Damien Lewis - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

SAS Shadow Raiders - Damien Lewis - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The incredible story of the radar wars - Britain''s most secret battle In the winter of 1941 an alien-seeming object was captured in a death-defying dash by an RAF reconnaissance pilot flying a lone unarmed Spitfire across the French coast. Balanced upon the cliffs near Le Havre was what appeared to be a giant convex dish, directed across the Channel at the war-torn British coastline.With Britain''s cities being pounded by fearsome bombing raids, teams of experts studied the photograph worriedly. Might the dish constitute a highly-secret form of radar - one that had the capacity to tip the balance of the war decisively in the enemy''s favour? If so, Nazi Germany would have leapfrogged British technology many-fold.A top-secret mission was devised to steal what had become known as the ''Wurzburg Dish,'' after Enigma intercepts of coded German messages. Appropriately christened Operation Biting, this was to be the first-ever Allied raid using airborne forces. Commanded by legendary Major John ''Johnny'' Frost, he demanded blind loyalty from his band of piratical raiders. ''A wild crew ... they looked horrible,'' he admitted. Each and every rehearsal had proved disastrous; it was a suicide mission in all but name.On the French coast agents of the Special Operations Executive - Churchill''s shadowy ministry for ungentlemanly warfare - risked all to map the target''s defences. At the eleventh hour, two unwelcome additions joined Frosts''s crew. One, was a shadowy German cloaked in mystery; the other a British radar specialist who could not be allowed to fall into enemy hands. Relying on files declassified for the purposes of writing this book, eyewitness testimony,and working with the families of key figures involved, Lewis reveals an untold epic of daring, ruthless rule-breaking and ferocity, coupled with bravery and ingenuity beyond measure. The results of Operation Biting would resonate throughout the war and beyond,changing the course of twentieth-century history.
