Dos niñas han desaparecido. Solo regresará una. Los padres que ofrezcan la mayor cantidad recuperarán a su hija; la pareja perdedora, no. No se equivoquen. Una niña morirá. Con la desaparición de dos niñas de nueve años —Charlie y su mejor amiga, Amy—, las familias se sumergen en una pesadilla viviente. Un mensaje de texto confirma lo inconcebible: las niñas han sido víctimas de un secuestro aterrador. Y cuando un nuevo mensaje de texto pone a las familias a competir entre sí por la vida de sus hijas, el reloj comienza a correr para la detective Kim Stone y su equipo.

Mientras más grande es el mal, más letal es el juego. Cuando un violador aparece mutilado tras un ataque brutal, se exige que la detective Kim Stone y su equipo resuelvan el caso de inmediato. Pero salen a la luz más y más asesinatos por venganza, y eso hace evidente que, detrás de esos trabajos, hay alguien muy siniestro. La investigación cobra impulso rápidamente y, de pronto, Kim se encuentra expuesta a un terrible peligro. Está en la mira de un individuo dispuesto a emprender su propio y muy retorcido experimento.

The extraordinary life of history's first modern lesbian who inspired the television series Gentleman Jack. Anne Lister's journals were so shocking that the first person to crack their secret code hid them behind a fake panel in his ancestral home. Anne Lister was a Regency landowner, an intrepid world traveller...and an unabashed lover of other women. In this bold new biography, prizewinning author Angela Steidele uses the diaries to create a portrait of Anne Lister as we've never seen her before: a woman in some ways very much of her time and in others far ahead of it.

Since the publication of the first edition of Critical Race Theory in 2001, the United States has lived through two economic downturns, an outbreak of terrorism, and the onset of an epidemic of hate directed against immigrants, especially undocumented Latinos and Middle Eastern people.

Critical Race Theory is essential for understanding developments in this burgeoning field, which has spread to other disciplines and countries.

Today's kids have adopted sedentary lifestyles filled with television, video games, and computer screens. But more and more, studies show that children need "rough and tumble" outdoor play in order to develop their sensory, motor, and executive functions.

I know nothing. I am a tabula rasa, a blank sheet of paper, an unhatched egg. I have not yet become a woman, although I possess a woman's shape. Not a woman, no: both more and less than a real woman. Now I am a being as mythic and monstrous as Mother herself.... New York has become the City of Dreadful Night where dissolute Leilah performs a dance of chaos for Evelyn.

These exotic, sensuous stories represent Carter's first major achievement in the short story form.

Immaginate di partire assieme a Giulio Cesare e alle sue legioni. È il 58 a.C., la Gallia è una terra lontana, abitata da popolazioni bellicose, mai domate, che hanno già inflitto dolorose sconfitte ai Romani. Ma è anche una terra ricca e prospera. Giulio Cesare vuole conquistarla, per sé e per Roma, e per farlo è disposto ad affrontare ogni avversità: estenuanti marce nella neve e battaglie sanguinose, intrighi di palazzo e tradimenti, ponti da costruire e flotte da creare da zero, foreste che si dicono stregate e santuari con scheletri decapitati.

With her characteristic brilliance, grace, and radical audacity, Angela Y. Davis has put the case for the latest abolition movement in American life: the abolition of the prison. As she quite correctly notes, American life is replete with abolition movements, and when they were engaged in these struggles, their chances of success seemed almost unthinkable. In Are Prisons Obsolete?, Professor Davis seeks to illustrate that the time for the prison is approaching an end. She argues forthrightly for "decarceration," and argues for the transformation of the society as a whole.
