Collecting snippets of fabric from a range of garments - some her own, others donated by family and friends - she carefully annotated each one, creating a unique record of their lives.

Using her expertise, Strasdin spent the next six years unraveling the secrets contained within the album's pages, and the lives of the people within. Her findings are remarkable. Piece by pie...
Le trafficanti di anime
«Un evocativo romanzo gotico in cui nulla è come sembra.» Susan Stokes-Chapman, autrice di Pandora «Lowkis gioca con gli stilemi del genere gotico in questo romanzo che contrappone due ambiziose sorelle... in un'adorabile carambola di inganni e sotterfugi. » Kirkus Reviews «Un magnifico esordio.» Publishers Weekly Parigi, 1866.

Redhanded
The instant Sunday Times bestseller from the UK's number one true crime podcast, RedHanded! What is it about killers, cults, and cannibals that capture our imaginations even as they terrify and disturb us? How do we carefully consume these cases and what can they teach us about what makes victims and their murderers our collective responsibility? RedHanded rejects the outdated narrative of killers as monsters and that a victim 'was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.' Instead, it dissects the stories of killers in a way that challenges perceptions and asks the hard questions about society, gender, poverty, culture, and even our politics. With Bala and Maguire's trademark humour, research on real-life cases, and unflinching analysis of what makes a criminal, the authors take you through the societal, behavioural, and cultural drivers of the most extreme of human behaviour to find out once and for all: what makes a killer tick?
