THE perfect job. Working for an easy-going boss at his sprawling luxurious mansion by the sun-kissed beach, watching beautiful women walk by. The perfect girl. Beautiful, funny. apparently very rich and what’s more. Tess is as head-over-heels for him as he is for her. The perfect score. Five million up for grabs. And to get his share, all he needs to do is trigger three house alarms to throw the cops off the scent of the real robbery. Simple as that. Could things get any better for Ned Kelly? But on the big night, things don’t go quite according to plan and Ned is now the prime suspect in a murder case. He has been set up and the perfect life is snatched away from him, just as it was within touching distance. The perfect Patterson.
Working with Andrew Gross, James Patterson skilfully delivers an
addictive cocktail of suspense, surprise and tension that will keep you
gripped right up until the last page. Pardonable Lies Maisie Dobbs, psychologist and investigator, has handled many different cases since she opened her office in Fitzroy Square, London. But few requests have been as unusual as the one she receives from sir Cedric Lawton one September evening in 1930: she must prove that his son Ralph is really dead. This is a case that will
challenge Maisie in unexpected ways. For Ralph Lawton was an aviator
shot down by enemy fire in 1917. If she is to get to the bottom of the
mystery, Maisie must travel to the battlefielods of france, where many
ghosts still linger. Maisie quickly realizes that her investigatuion is
producing more questions than answers. And before she can reach the
truth, she must uncover all sorts of secrets and lies that some people
would clearly prefer stay buried. The Trouble With Islam
Today IN this controversial and ground-breaking book, Irshad Manji — journalist, iconoclast, rebel, and self-proclaimed Muslim Refusenik — expose the disturbing cornerstones of Islam as it is widely practised today: tribal insularity, repression of women, and an uncritical acceptance of the Quran. But The Trouble with Islam Today goes deeper, offering a practical vision of an Islamic reformation that empowers women, promotes respect for religious minorities, and fosters a competition of ideas, Manji’s vision revives "ijtihad," Islam’s lost tradition of independent thinking. In that spirit, Irshad Manji travels throughout the world with her challenge for both Muslims and non-Muslims: Dare to ask questions and speak out loud. |
