Leon Ashworth Livres

Looks at the lifetimes of Queen Victoria and her impact on the course of history. 8 yrs+

Veteran Detective Inspector Elaine Hope knows she was born to be a detective. Now she's taken over a bungled case and released the only suspect. Her male superiors in the London Metropolitan Police doubt her, and London's tabloids scream for a scapegoat. None of them can stop her. Finding the truth is all that matters to Elaine. She forges ahead, standing up to her bosses, bad cops, and murderous crooks. Each has reason to fear her. Elaine's life gets more complicated when a former suspect shows romantic interest. He won’t reveal his personal tragedies to anyone but Elaine, and she has her own secrets. As Elaine and her protégé, Liz Barker, track the killer through wintery London boroughs, darker hunters join the chase. When she finally confronts her quarry face-to-face, Elaine discovers how desires can mold the souls of men, and how one terrifying night will change her life forever. Souls of Men, A. R. Ashworth's chilling debut, is sure to appeal to readers of Sharon Bolton and Deborah Crombie.

Zveme vás na návštěvu bohů a bohyň starověkých civilizací... Naši předkové uctívali mnoho bohů a každý z nich měl na starosti jinou oblast. Podle toho se tedy lidé na ně obraceli se svými problémy. Svět bohů a bohyň byl pestrý, a ačkoli každá kultura zrodila svůj vlastní pantheon, v lecčems si bohové různých civilizací byli podobní. Na stránkách této knihy se před vámi rozvine pohádkový svět kouzel, intrik, lásky a žárlivosti, svět bytostí, kteří měli nad lidmi bdít a ochraňovat je; tyto bytosti nezahynuly spolu s civilizacemi, jež je zrodily, ale ve starověkých legendách žijí dál.
