The girl came into the room with a darting movement like a swallow, looked round her with the same birdlike quickness, and then ran across the polished floor to where a young man sat on a sofa with one leg laid along it. “I have saved you this dance, Quentin,” she said, pronouncing the name with a pretty staccato. “You must be so lonely not dancing, so I will sit with you. What shall we talk about?”

Security footage shows her leaving with an older man. And the boy she was supposed to date? His name sends chills down Cynthia's spine—Alexander Beaufort. That's impossible.

But someone is playing a deadly game, leaving clues that drag Cynthia back to her darkest memories. With only three days to find her daughter, she must confront the monster from her past and the shocking secrets Tori has been hiding.

Editha was a queer little girl. She was rather old-fashioned, as her aunts used to call it, and was always very fond of books. Indeed, Editha perhaps read more than was quite good for her. She spent the greater part of her time in the library reading her papa's big books and newspapers. Her most recent obsession, derived from her daily news intake, was the subject of burglars. One night, when confronted with a real-life burglar, and with the conviction that she must protect her mother from the fright of such an intruder, Editha took it upon herself to confront the unusual nocturnal visitor. Editha's Burglar was first published in 1888.Mostra libro
What if a tiny change in code could cost a human life? Laura Domínguez has built her career on one belief: systems don’t fail—people do. As a top safety auditor at Vertex Solutions, she trusts data, protocols, and precision. Until a catastrophic explosion kills a worker—and the official report calls it an “inevitable accident.” But one detail doesn’t fit. A pressure window that felt… wrong. As Laura digs into raw system logs and buried reports, she uncovers a chilling truth: the system didn’t fail. It was altered. Quietly. Deliberately. For profit. Now, trapped between corporate power and her own buried past, Laura must decide how far she’s willing to go to expose the truth—before she becomes just another rounding error. The Rounding Error is a gripping techno-thriller about corporate corruption, hidden algorithms, and the dangerous cost of efficiency. Perfect for readers of corporate thrillers, psychological suspense, and technology-driven mysteries, this novel asks a haunting question: When profit becomes the priority… who gets rounded off?Mostra libro
