Two former inmates reunite on a TV set. They're both back on the straight and narrow ... until one sees the potential for an easy grift.

"A remote back-to-basics mountaintop retreat in the French Alps turns deadly as an Oxford fellow finds herself in the crosshairs of her late husband's dangerous secrets. The Chalet des Anglais should be the ideal locale for recently-widowed Oxford don Emily to begin cutting through the fog of her grief. With no electricity, running water, or access by car, the rustic chalet nestled at the foot of the verdant, snow-topped Alps should afford Emily both time and space to heal. Joining her will be a collection of friends from the university, as well as other fellows, graduates, and undergraduates. Something feels off, though-heightening Emily's existing grief-induced anxiety. Before even making it to the airport, she's unnerved by a break-in at her home. Once at the chalet, tension amongst the guests is palpable. Her friends and colleagues are behaving oddly, and competition for a newly opened position has introduced a streak of meanness into the otherwise relaxing getaway. As hostilities grow, Emily begins to wonder if the chalet's dark history has cast a shadow over the retreat. In the salon, a curious grandfather clock looms, the only piece of furniture to survive a deadly blaze a century ago. As its discordant bell begins to invade everyone's dreams, someone very real has been searching through Emily's things and attempting to hack into her computer. When a student disappears, Emily realizes that she'd better separate friend from foe, and real from imagined--or the next disappearance may be her own"-- On a rustic mountaintop retreat in the French Alps, a recently-widowed Oxford fellow deals with her grief and tries to uncover why someone has been going through her things and is trying to hack into her computer. 25,000 first printing.

In this essential follow-up töTrapped in the Mirror: Adult Children of Narcissists in their Struggle for Self Dr. Elan Golomb shows how hateful, rejecting, or indifferent parents leave children frozen, continually seeking love that seldom comes. Whether we mimic the parental behavior in adulthood or remain frozen, feeling that we are worthless and do not deserve happiness,¿Unloved Again¿guides us through how and why we sabotage healthy relationships and perpetuate unhealthy relationships. Through psychological study, patients' stories, and her own experience, Dr. Golomb guides us through the harm that narcissistic and otherwise damaging and unloving parents can have on our adult love lives. Dr. Golomb shares her own "Aha!" moment when she realized she could love and beloved and shares the resources to break our addiction to bad relationships and find the love that we truly deserve.

Im Sommer 1874 wird Gold in den Black Hills entdeckt, im heiligen Land der Sioux. Die US-amerikanische Regierung ist sehr interessiert daran, ihre kriselnde Wirtschaft zu sanieren und versucht, den Indianern das Land auf friedliche Weise abzukaufen. Doch die Verhandlungen scheitern kläglich, und 1876 kommt es zum Krieg. Während die Vereinigten Staaten den hundertsten Jahrestag ihrer Unabhängigkeit feiern, schmiedet Häuptling Sitting Bull die bis dahin gewaltigste Streitmacht der Ureinwohner aus Sioux und Cheyenne. Auch wenn es für den Verlauf des Krieges nicht ausschlaggebend war, ging ein Gefecht vor allen anderen in die Geschichtsbücher ein: Die Schlacht am Little Big Horn am 25. Juni 1876 und die verheerende Niederlage von George Armstrong Custer. Dieser Band der Serie »Die wahre Geschichte des Wilden Westens« präsentiert den Mythos auf spannende, aber faktische Weise.Auf den erhabenen Gipfeln der Rocky Mountains und in den endlosen Weiten der Großen Ebenen träumen die furchtlosen Pioniere des Oregon Trails und die umtriebigen Prospektoren des Kalifornischen Goldrauschs den Traum grenzenloser Freiheit und erleben gleichzeitig eine Ära entgrenzter Gier und Grausamkeit - der Wilde Westen ist vielgestaltig und zeitlos faszinierend. Die Namen seiner Helden und Schurken wurden unsterblich: Jesse James, Calamity Jane, Wild Bill Hickok, Billy the Kid, Geronimo. Unter der Leitung des Historikers Farid Ameur zeichnet »Die wahre Geschichte des Wilden Westens« die Werdegänge der charismatischsten Figuren jener Zeit nach. Die Szenaristen und Zeichner verbinden dabei ihren Respekt vor den liebgewonnenen Konventionen des Genres mit einem unbedingten Anspruch zur historischen Wahrhaftigkeit. So werden sowohl Licht- als auch Schattenseiten des Wilden Westens präsentiert, ohne den Mythos gänzlich aufzulösen. Jedes Album der Reihe ist in sich abgeschlossen und umfasst einen umfangreichen historischen Anhang.
