Summary

"I saw nothing of what I wrote..." Can a betrayal change the world? 


Follow Marcus Marcius, Mark, a tough centurion of the X Legion, through a journey full of dangers, adventures, and impossible passions, towards the very heart of the Gnostic mysteries and the heart of primitive Christianity. Live with him, and with the rest of the characters of "Mark, The cross of the sword", the terrible and enigmatic events that precipitated the writing of the most decisive Gospel for Christians and the Roman church. 


Walk the desert roads of Galilee; delve into the forbidden depths of the Q'mrán cave; storm the imposing walls of Jerusalem; discover the legendary library of Alexandria; trace, with the keel of a gauloi, the secret paths of the ancient Mare Nostrum; escape from the dark shadow of the druids on the island of Mona; be the guardian of the word of Jesus the "Nazorene" and Paul of Tarsus and the only one who knows the secret of an immense treasure that does not exist but that everyone is looking for; ...and end up in Rome. Always Rome. Where the struggle for power and knives in the dark will draw the last lines of the final labyrinth.

    From author Lena Gregory comes a delicious new series that will warm your heart and leave you guessing until the very end . . . 
 
 
 
When twenty-five-year-old Danika Delaney, black sheep of the Delaney clan, returns home to Long Island to take over Jimmie's, her eccentric uncle's old fashioned malt shop on eastern Long Island, she's not exactly thrilled. But things start to look up when her uncle tells her she can do whatever she'd like with the shop, and it seems she might realize her dream of a small trendy café. That is, until she discovers the body of her ex-boyfriend's estranged wife in a melted puddle of rocky road in the malt shop basement. With her two sidekicks, her sister and a good childhood friend, in tow, Dani searches for—or stumbles upon—one clue after another. But as she narrows down the suspect list, she realizes if she's not careful she may end up in a puddle of her own . . .

    Anty travels to the Riviera to finally have that awkward ‘did you murder my father’ conversation with his mother, but instead finds himself in the ticklish position of defending her and an innocent elephant against charges of a murder that no one could have committed. 
Like all Anty Boisjoly mysteries, Reckoning at the Riviera Royale is a stand-alone stumper populated with eccentric characters and composed of impossible murder and improbable intrigues, delivered with signature Boisjoly banter, and it’s best enjoyed by those who like a little humour in their whodunnit. 
Anty Boisjoly is a serious experiment in a whimsical line — Christie-esque locked-room mysteries written in the style of PG Wodehouse. The reviews are in and the experiment is a success. Readers emphasise in particular the witty and whimsical first-person voice of Anty Boisjoly narrating the nevertheless twisty mysteries.

    The basis for the blockbuster motion picture directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Shutter Island by New York Times bestselling author Dennis Lehane is a gripping and atmospheric psychological thriller where nothing is quite what it seems. The New York Times calls Shutter Island, “Startlingly original.” The Washington Post raves, “Brilliantly conceived and executed.” A masterwork of suspense and surprise from the author of Mystic River and Gone, Baby, Gone, Shutter Island carries the reader into a nightmare world of madness, mind control, and CIA Cold War paranoia and is unlike anything you’ve ever read before.
