Spiagge, pupe e pallottole
Par Valeria Poropat, Falafel Jones. 2015
MA DI CHE PARLIAMO? Max Fried è un ex esperto di informatica forense che dedica la vita a nuotare, bere…
e fare il bagno sotto il sole caldo della Florida, ma oggi...è proprio una giornataccia. C'è un assassino in arrivo. Quando un suadente avvocato convince Max a trovare i beni di un cliente morto, lui accetta, pensando che sarà una passeggiata. Al contrario, un vecchio assassino con una nuova identità entra in casa di Max e ruba il computer del cliente. Max non sa che il computer contiene indizi per un assassinio vecchio di 20 anni, ma d'altra parte l'assassino non sa che Max ha una copia di tutti i file del computer rubato sul suo iPod. Purtroppo per il cattivo, la copia contiene le prove che lo porteranno alla condanna a morte. Ora, Max è l'ultimo ancora in vita che sa perché le persone muoiono. Se riuscirà a battere l'assassinio in astuzia, potrà tornare al suo sgabello e al suo bar sulla spiaggia. In caso contrario, diventerà la vittima numero cinque. SPIAGGE, PUPE E PALLOTTOLE è un giallo con un avvocato playboy, una ricca ereditiera, il nostro esaminatore forense preferito e, ah già, una manciata di morti, qualche poliziotto e un assassino. Max e io abbiamo lavorato entrambi come esperti forensi nel settore informatico, abbiamo la licenza da investigatore privato e viviamo su un'isoletta. Però non ditegli che solo uno di noi due è reale.Beowulf: A New Translation for Oral Delivery
Par Dick Ringler. 2007
Dick Ringler's deceptively simple translation captures the rhythm, movement, and power of the original Old English poem while employing a…
fluid modern English style and a relatively spare vocabulary. His generous Introduction, a lively yet masterly guide to the work, along with his translations of three shorter Old English poems elucidate a major English text almost as well-known for its subtlety and intricacy as it is for its monsters and heroes.The Unscratchables
Par Cornelius Kane. 2009
Crusher McNashis the police force's most fearless detective, a barrel-chested bull terrier with a biscuit-thin temper and a barbed-wire tongue.…
Cassius Lap is the finest agent in the Feline Bureau of Investigation, an imperturbable Siamese with a mind as sharp as a can opener. San Bernardo is their territory, a seething metropolis where fat-cats prance in the exclusive island enclave of Kathattan while working dogs wallow in the stinking squalor of the Kennels. When a couple of Rottweiler gangsters are brutally murdered, Crusher McNash tries to convince himself that it's nothing unusual-- just another underworld territorial dispute. But after the sniffer squad identifies a feral-cat killer, McNash is forced to do the unthinkable-- team up with a prissy Siamese from the FBI. The trail leads from junkyards to gambling dens, from cat prisons to baronial estates, in the process unraveling an awesome conspiracy involving domination techniques, population control, and the megalomaniacal ambitions of fox media magnate Phineas Reynard. Both a hard-bitten crime story and a sharp-fanged satire,The Unscratchables is the genre-bending mystery of the year.Death of a Diva: A Honey Driver Murder Mystery
Par Jean G. Goodhind. 2014
Selling the Green River Hotel and relocating to the country seems a good idea at the time - that is…
until Honey is given a guided tour of a country mansion suitable for conversion. Old houses for such purposes are usually better without bodies stuffed up the chimney. The fact that she comes this close to a murder is quite off putting. So, should she press ahead, or stick to the job in hand? Doherty is on hand of course as the world of a TV diva and up market estate agents is laid bare.Jack the Giant Killer
Par Richard Doyle. 1999
The story of Jack, the intrepid boy whose courage and ingenuity defeated a host of many-headed giants, has been told…
to children for hundreds of years. In 1842, when he was just 18, Richard Doyle, whose natural talent for draftsmanship was matched by imaginative invention and a passion for legend and the grotesque, created a picture-book version of Jack the Giant Killer, with hand-written text and a watercolor within a pictorial border decorating every page. It has remained one of the most beloved versions of this timeless tale.In this new Everyman's edition, Doyle's vivid, wonderfully engaging illustrations have been enlarged and the text has been given greater legibility. It is a book that will satisfy both the child's delight in scariness, wonder, and magic, and the collector's pleasure in classic Victorian illustration.Murder by Mudpack: A Honey Driver Murder Mystery
Par Jean G. Goodhind. 2014
After Lady Marcrottie is found submerged in what should have been a therapeutic mud bath, the finger of suspicion points…
to the Beauty Spot Health and Beauty Clinic. Honey Driver, bath hotelier and part-time crime liaison officer, is booked in for botox, and a little snooping. However, she does take the necessary precautions to help her survive the experience of staying in such a health, beauty and diet conscious place. Cheese, biscuits, chocolate and a bottle of Australian Shiraz are hidden at the bottom of her bag. After all, a girl cannot live on carrot juice and lettuce leaves for any longer than two hours.Korean Nursery Rhymes: Wild Geese, Land Of Goblins And Other Favorite Songs And Rhymes [korean-english] [downloadable Mp3 Audio Included]

Par Christopher Bunn, Gabriela Fuenzalida. 2015
ROSAMONDE Quizá les es familiar la historia de la Bella Durmiente, por mi parte, siempre la he creído aburrida, así…
como el resto de los cuentos; ha sido relatada de muy diferentes maneras: algunas malas, algunas pasables y otras simplemente horribles. Ustedes ya saben de qué se trata: al enterarse de que no la invitan al bautizo de la recién nacida hija de los reyes, la malvada bruja se enfada y la pone bajo un conjuro mil veces peor que el agravio. Luego de crecer y llegar a ser insoportablemente bella, un día se pincha el dedo con una rueca y cae dormida por miles de años... hasta que con un dulce beso un guapo príncipe la despierta y rompe el hechizo. Ellos viven felices por siempre, hasta que mueren de viejos. Aunque en esta historia no se habla ni de viejos ni de muerte, porque la gente no gusta mucho de leer acerca de gente vieja que muere. De todos modos, aquella historia es una sarta de mentiras, lo sé muy bien, porque la historia de la Bella Durmiente se basó en mi historia.Rosamunda. La vera storia della Bella Addormentata
Par Christopher Bunn, Silvia Beghelli. 2015

La vita è perfettamente soddisfacente, fino all'arrivo di un principe invadente, completo di un pallone ad aria calda e romantiche mire alla mano di Rosamunda. Come può reagire una ragazza? Con maiali, trucchi, audacia, e ovviamente una cospicua dose di pisolini.Nursery Rhymes
