The Runaways
Andrew Munroe gets declared bankrupt after his building business in Leeds West Yorkshire suddenly collapses. Andy is diagnosed as suffering from clinical depression. He abandons his wife and daughter hoping to kick-start his life finding work down in London. He feels that he has let his family down badly and assures himself that they would be far better off without him. After hitching a lift that takes him down to the South East Coast, Andy meets up with a kind and caring pair of star-struck elderly lovers, one of whom owns a boarding house in Basildon. Two other main characters in the book enter the story intermittently. The first is a girl named Gita from Birmingham, who is running away from an arranged marriage. As her story unfolds she too will eventually end up living down on the South East Coast. The other is Sam, a loveable rogue born and bred in the East End of London. After serving an eight-year prison sentence in one of Her Majesty’s Correctional Facilities for manslaughter, he too shuns his place of birth and makes his way towards the South East Coast. All three will eventually meet up but not in the circumstances that you may expect or predict.
In the Path of an Avalanche
On a clear, cold morning in January 1998, in the Selkirk Mountains of southeastern British Columbia, a massive avalanche buried six experienced back-country skiers. They didn’t have a chance. Thus began the worst day for avalanche deaths in Canadian history and one of the most tragic in North America. This book is the biography of a deadly avalanche, detailing how a combination of factors—steep, open terrain, an unstable winter snow pack primed to slide, aggravating weather conditions, and a trigger provided by a handful of back-country skiers—resulted in human tragedy. It is the story of a particular avalanche, but it illustrates a natural phenomenon that has threatened human endeavours throughout the world since people first ventured within the reach of steep snow slopes.
The Wolf Vet: Buck Moon
Zoey Cooper didn’t choose to become a werewolf. But as a vet, she couldn’t help but to try to save a wounded wolf. In the rugged Black Hills, no good deed goes unpunished. She wasn’t just turned by a werewolf, she was given a deadly virus in the process. The other packs want her neutralized, but with the cure just within reach, Zoey isn’t ready to lay down for anyone. Not even her own mate. Living or dead, Zoey isn’t sure where Peter is. She isn’t sure who’s side Peter is even on—his own pack or hers. But she isn’t alone. She’s got her boxer-turned-wolf ex on one side and the straight-laced sheriff-gone wild on the other side. Time is running out. Zoey must prove she has the cure before the other packs close in. With the weight of countless lives on her shoulders, love seems of little consequence. Especially when her feelings are so muddled between three men she never expected to fall for.

Tabula rasa
«Quella che trovate in queste pagine è prima di tutto una mappa, un viaggio per tornare a casa: un inventario completo, pignolo, a tratti persino maniacale, delle grandi famiglie, decadute e non, dei figli prediletti e di quelli degeneri, dei parenti scapestrati, dei leader, delle loro storie più nobili, e dei loro problemi più inconfessabili. Questo libro è una collezione di biografie, un atlante, un elenco di ciò che esiste. Perché non c’è dubbio che, se qualcuno vorrà diventare leader, da questo inventario deve ripartire, per trovare il modo di traghettare nel nuovo tempo i valori antichi. Da qui dovrà ripartire, se vuole tornare a combattere e a vincere.» Luca Telese ripercorre in queste pagine la storia della sinistra italiana dalla svolta della Bolognina alla elezione a Segretaria di Elly Schlein: una storia di vittorie precarie, di leader «rapsodici e meteoritici», di sconfitte e di strappi, di stalli, di scissioni. Una storia non esaustiva, ma riletta dallo sguardo netto e profondo del buon giornalista che sa scendere nel dettaglio della cronaca per ricavare un’impressione, un segnale, un’istantanea del tempo in cui viviamo e di quello che verrà.
