With more than fifteen million copies of her novels sold in Europe, Charlotte Link makes her chillingly psychological American debut, now in English for the first time. A suspenseful, atmospheric new psychological crime novel from Germany’s most successful living female author. An old farm, a deserted landscape, a dark secret from times past with fatal consequences for the present. In the tranquil northern seaside town of Scarborough, a student is found cruelly murdered. For months, the investigators are in the dark, until they are faced with a copy-cat crime. The investigation continues, but they are still struggling to establish a connection between the two victims. Ambitious detective Valerie Almond clings to the all too obvious: a rift within the family of the second victim.

Horrified at her last-minute discovery, Valerie realizes that she may be too late for action.

The Rothschilds: A Family Portrait
In the past two centuries, the Rothschild family has been at the center of great events in Europe and the world, such as the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo and the development of the Suez Canal. In this National Book Award finalist, Frederic Morton brings the family to life, starting with Mayer of Frankfurt, longtime adviser to Germany’s princes, who broke through the barriers of the Jewish ghetto and placed his family on the road to wealth and power, followed by Lord Alfred in London, Baron Philippe in Paris, and many others. “[Morton’s] tale grows fascinating, luxuriating in the social and human details of what happened once the Rothschild tribe had financed England, bailed out the returning French Bourbons, helped Austria intervene in Italy and lent millions to the Holy See itself.” — William Harlan Hale, The New York Times “Hardly a page without sparkle. Morton writes a chromium-plate style... [he] enables the reader to grasp some of the fundamental secrets of the Rothschild success — above all, its endurance.” — New York Herald Tribune Books “Vivid, witty and perceptive.” — Saturday Review
Christianity: A Modern Historical Perspective
Religion Before Christ; The Old Testament; The New Testament; The Birth of Christianity & Questions of Faith. This book is written to help any person brand new to the church. It covers basic information to gain a general understanding of Christianity, covering the history as well as the Gospel and Bible stories. About life before Christ with Judaism and the Old Testament. About Jesus and the New Testament and just how his coming really did change everything for everyone. In this book I try to answer all the questions I first had when I started attending church. What is the eucharist? Why recite all those old creeds and who wrote them anyway? Why all the robes and ceremony? From the early church in Jerusalem to the Roman Empire when it embraced Christianity. To the Reformation and the split from Rome. And how can the Bible, written thousands of years ago, be able to give comfort, strength, hope and faith to someone living in today's society?
