Nora è la tipica ragazza della porta accanto: molto carina, seria, studiosa. Patch è il classico cattivo ragazzo, strafottente, complicato e decisamente affascinante. Lei non sa perché lui la attragga tanto, in fondo non è il suo tipo. Lui invece sa benissimo perché inizia a corteggiarla, ed è un motivo oscuro e inquietante, legato a un passato talmente spaventoso da risultare semplicemente inconfessabile. Patch non ha dubbi su quello che è giusto o sbagliato quando si avvicina a Nora, eppure lo fa. Se vuole restare su questa Terra, dovrà rubarle la vita, letteralmente. Invece, sarà lei a farlo. Perché la passione può attraversare i secoli e trascendere la comprensione, perché l'amore può davvero cambiare le persone, rendendole invincibili e... immortali. Questa è la saga che ha contribuito a creare il genere letterario che non ha ancora smesso di affascinare le lettrici. Finalmente riuniti, ecco i quattro romanzi che hanno raccontato - in un crescendo di suspense e colpi di scena - l'irresistibile storia d'amore fra Nora e Patch, fra esseri umani e angeli caduti, fondendo thriller e romance...

The bone is fresh and the remains are still topped by wisps of hair âe" itâe(tm)s a recent burial, and a case Tempe must take. Tempe determines that the deceased is a middle-aged white male - but who was he? Why was he buried in a clandestine grave? And what does an unusual vertical fracture of one of the vertebrae signify? While Tempe is trying to piece together the evidence, her personal life is thrown into turmoil. But before long, another body is discovered - and Tempe finds herself drawn deeper into a shocking investigation which will challenge her entire view of humanity.

Nel 2005 T. Colin Campbell e Thomas Campbell hanno scritto "The China study". In quel libro sono contenute ricerche che hanno dimostrato che un'alimentazione a base vegetale e integrale previene molte malattie croniche e le fa addirittura regredire, oltre a riequilibrare il peso. Questo nuovo libro di Thomas Campbell va oltre la teoria e spiega ai lettori come applicarla, con un programma pratico di due settimane che trasformerà la vostra alimentazione nella più sana e gustosa possibile. Un libro che risponde a domande quali: la soia è salutare? Bisogna evitare il glutine? Meglio il biologico? Bisogna mangiare il pesce? Come nutrire i bambini? Il piano è completo di lista della spesa, suggerimenti su come organizzare cucina e dispensa, come affrontare i pasti al ristorante o da amici, menu e 55 ricette. Prefazione di T. Colin Cambell.

When Dr Temperance Brennan is accused of mishandling the autopsy of a missing heiress, a routine case swiftly turns sinister. But before Tempe can get to the one man with the information she needs, he turns up dead. In Montreal, three elderly women are found murdered, their bodies brutally discarded. Even though the clues don't add up, Tempe is certain of a link between their deaths and that of the heiress. Has Tempe made grave errors, or is she being sabotaged by an unseen enemy? What is frighteningly clear is that more than just Tempe's career is at stake. Her life is also at risk.

Non loin de Montréal, le cadavre d'un nouveau-né ainsi que deux dépouilles momifiées de bébés sont retrouvés dans un appartement sordide, abandonné par la jeune Amy, vraisemblablement prostituée... Impressionnée comme rarement lors de l'analyse des ossements, Temperence Brennan doit se concentrer sur les faits, rien que les faits, pour ne pas se laisser gagner par l'émotion. Accompagnée du détective Ryan, mais aussi du beau sergent de la police montée Oliver Hasty - avec qui elle a eu une liaison dans le passé -, elle se lance à corps perdu dans cette nouvelle enquête. Sur la piste de la jeune femme, l'improbable trio se retrouve dans une contrée reculée du Grand Nord canadien, à Yellowknife, sinistre petite ville où les mines de diamant attisent toutes les convoitises, où le diamant a le prix du sang. Ce qu'ils vont découvrir là-bas est pire que ce qu'ils auraient pu imaginer. Incendies criminels, héritages détournés, drogue, meurtres... rien ne semble avoir été épargné à la mystérieuse Amy et à sa famille, pris dans les mailles d'un terrible complot.

Charlotte, North Carolina. One of the town's oldest neighbourhoods. An underground chamber is exposed in a seedy, dilapidated house with sagging trim and peeling paint... Called to the scene is forensic anthropologist Dr Temperance Brennan. Fighting her claustrophobia, and the unmistakable sweet, fetid odour of rotting flesh, Tempe descends the precariously steep, makeshift wooden steps. What awaits her below is a ritualistic display; slain chickens and a goat - and a skull, ghostly pale, rests on a pedestal, the lower jaw missing, the empty orbits staring back at her. Two cauldrons stand nearby, beads and antlers suspended overhead. Age, race and sex indicators confirm the skull as that of a young, black female - but how did she die, and when? Then, just as Tempe is working to determine the post-mortem interval, another body is uncovered. The corpse is headless, the torso carved with satanic symbols. Led by a preacher-turned-politician, citizen vigilantes blame Devil-worshippers and begin a witch-hunt, intent on revenge.
