Tigresse Lily de Bangkok se retrouve à Londres: La tigresse refait surface à nouveau (Tiger Lily #2)
by Owen JonesTigresse Lily de Bangkok se retrouve à Londres La tigresse refait surface à nouveau Après l’effet dévastateur que la fureur qu’elle a déchaînée et a eu sur sa propre vie et les citoyens de Bangkok dans ses premiers jours en tant qu’étudiante en médecine, la vie de Lily s’apaise quelque peu et elle se met consciencieusement aux études. Deux ans plus tard, elle gagne une bourse pour travailler à l’hôpital pour enfants de la grande rue Ormond à Londres. Elle s’y rend donc sans Ron qui continue ses études à Bangkok. Le livre « Tigresse Lily de Bangkok se retrouve à Londres » reprend l’histoire de Lily durant la deuxième de ses deux années d’étude en tant qu’étudiante en médecine à l’hôpital. Elle aime beaucoup son travail et s’entends bien avec le personnel médical et infirmier ainsi que les jeunes patients. Toutefois, Lily n’a pas d’amis en dehors de son travail. Lors d’un de ses jours de congé, elle lit un article dans le « Sunday Times » sur les réseaux organisés de pédophiles à Londres qui impliquent le gouvernement du pays lui-même. Cette situation rend Lily absolument furieuse. Elle peut soit l’ignorer ou soit s’impliquer. Sa première réaction est d’éviter le démon qui l’avait possédée à Bangkok seulement quelques années plus tôt. Toutefois, lorsqu’elle rencontre d’autres jeunes victimes d’abus sexuels, le dé semble jeté. Cette histoire n’est pas pour les personnes sensibles et elle ne raconte pas les actes d’abus sexuels posés sur les jeunes. Le livre, cependant, fait souvent référence à des endroits notoires d’abus, notamment le « Meat Rack » (étalage de viande ou de jeunes à louer) sur le « Piccadilly Circus » au centre de Londres. Beaucoup de questions sont soulevées et sont toujours sous enquête par la police au moment de la rédaction de ce livre. Mais peu de personnes s’attendent à voir de résultat

by Jonathan KellermanBONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Jonathan Kellerman's Victims.Jonathan Kellerman has distinguished himself as the master of the psychological thriller. Now L.A. psychologist-detective Alex Delaware confronts a long-unsolved murder of unspeakable brutality--an ice-cold case whose resolution threatens his survival, and that of longtime friend, homicide detective, Milo Sturgis.

Inside is an ornate album filled with gruesome crime scene photos--a homicide scrapbook entitled The Murder Book. Alex can find no reason for anyone to send him this compendium of death, but when Milo views the book, he is immediately shaken by one of the images: a young woman, tortured, strangled, and dumped near a freeway ramp.

Being forced to abandon the young victim tormented Milo. But his fears prevented him from pursuing the truth, and over the years he managed to forget. Or so he thought. Now, two decades later, someone has chosen to stir up the past. As Alex and Milo set out to uncover what really happened twenty years ago, their every move is followed and their lives are placed in jeopardy. The relentless investigation reaches deep into L.A.'s nerve-centers of power and wealth--past and present.

A classic story of good and evil, sacrifice and sin, The Murder Book is a gripping page-turner that illuminates the darkest corridors of the human mind. It is a stunning tour de force.

Not That I Could Tell: A Novel
by Jessica StrawserAn innocent night of fun takes a shocking turn in Not That I Could Tell, the next page-turner from Jessica Strawser. When a group of neighborhood women gathers, wine in hand, around a fire pit where their backyards meet one Saturday night, most of them are just ecstatic to have discovered that their baby monitors reach that far. It’s a rare kid-free night, and they’re giddy with it. They drink too much, and the conversation turns personal. By Monday morning, one of them is gone. Everyone knows something about everyone else in the quirky small Ohio town of Yellow Springs, but no one can make sense of the disappearance. Kristin was a sociable twin mom, college administrator, and doctor’s wife who didn’t seem all that bothered by her impending divorce—and the investigation turns up more questions than answers, with her husband, Paul, at the center. For her closest neighbor, Clara, the incident triggers memories she thought she’d put behind her—and when she’s unable to extract herself from the widening circle of scrutiny, her own suspicions quickly grow. But the neighborhood’s newest addition, Izzy, is determined not to jump to any conclusions—especially since she’s dealing with a crisis of her own. As the police investigation goes from a media circus to a cold case, the neighbors are forced to reexamine what’s going on behind their own closed doors—and to ask how well anyone really knows anyone else.
