Fast-moving adventure. 

In the weeks before the 1979 Mexican elections, San Diego P.I. Alvaro Hickey follows the stories Baja California campesinos are spreading about visits from the Holy Virgin. Though Alvaro doubts her divinity, he’s firmly on her side. She wants them to vote the corrupt and tyrannical Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) out of power. When Lourdes Shuler asks him to unite her with her sister Lupe, Alvaro doesn’t think much of it until Lourdes claims Lupe is the campesinos’ Virgin. Alvaro’s not the kind to turn down an appeal for help, especially from such a beauty. Besides, the published sketch a savant girl drew of the Virgin looks just like Lourdes. He suspects that Lourdes might not have a sister after all. Then, on their way to dinner, Lourdes and Alvaro pick up a tail. Lourdes admits the man could’ve been sent by her brother Andres. But is Lourdes hiding something more? Alvaro chooses to stand with the lady although he knows she might become his last adventure. Then someone arrives to rid the land of this vagabond Virgin....

Can handwriting be faked to make murder look like suicide?

Can handwriting be faked to make murder look like suicide? Forensic handwriting expert Claudia Rose must answer that question when powerful Hollywood publicist Lindsey Alexander is found dead in a hot tub. Police are all too willing to believe it's Lindsey's handwriting on the scrap of paper they're calling a suicide note, but not everyone is ready to accept this easy conclusion. Claudia Rose knows first-hand the publicist's ruthlessness and cruelty, so when Ivan Novak, Lindsey's business associate, begs her to prove the suicide note a fake, Claudia's instincts scream at her to run the other way. She hasn't forgotten how it felt to be humiliated by the best, nor the way Lindsey sabotaged their friend Kelly Brennan's marriage. But Ivan leans hard, and when she accepts the case, Claudia becomes trapped in a far darker scenario than she bargained for.

Adventure, deception, attraction and redemption. 

After a shipwreck, Nonie Rafferty washes up on the shore of Algiers, where the slave traders look to sell the pretty Irishwoman-or worse. She must come up with a tale to save herself-and fast-before anyone discovers the true reason she sailed to this misbegotten corner of the world, or the true reason she was wearing a priceless strand of pearls, when she was rescued. Fortunately, the Dey's mysterious necromancer appears willing to come to her aid, and what follows is a cat-and-mouse game of deception, attraction, and above all, redemption.

Nana is the most widely known of the long series of violently realistic novels by Émile Zola about the Rougon-Macquart family. Through them he intended to represent different combinations of "good" and "bad" blood, to submit his characters to all kinds of situations, to demonstrate that the character and course of life of each human being is determined by heredity and environment.
About the validity of his theories, critics have quarreled violently. But his influence on other writers as disparate as De Maupassant, Huysmans, George Moore, Frank Norris, Theodore Dreiser, James T. Farrell, etc., has been profound. For Zola did succeed in producing novels of great strength and vividness, novels which present an arresting picture of the life of his time.
Of all the novels in the Rougon-Macquart series, Nana has been the most popular. It is, indeed, one of the best-selling novels of all time. In its Роскт Book editions alone, it has sold nearly 3,000,000 copies.

Nana

A Haunted History

From that cheerful puff of smoke known as Casper to the hunkiest potter living or dead, Sam Wheat, there is probably no more iconic entity in supernatural history than the ghost. And these are just recent examples. From the earliest writings such as the Epic of Gilgamesh to today’s ghost-hunting reality TV shows, ghosts have chilled the air of nearly every era and every culture in human history. In this book, Lisa Morton uses her scholarly prowess—more powerful than any proton pack—to wrangle together history’s most enduring ghosts into an entertaining and comprehensive look at what otherwise seems to always evade our eyes. Tracing the ghost’s constantly shifting contours, Morton asks the most direct question—What exactly is a ghost?—and examines related entities such as poltergeists, wraiths, and revenants. She asks how a ghost is related to a soul, and she outlines all the different kinds of ghosts there are. To do so, she visits the spirits of the classical world, including the five-part Egyptian soul and the first haunted-house, conceived in the Roman playwright Plautus’s comedy, Mostellaria. She confronts us with the frightening phantoms of the Middle Ages—who could incinerate priests and devour children—and reminds us of the nineteenth-century rise of Spiritualism, a religion essentially devoted to ghosts. She visits with the Indian bhuta and goes to the Hungry Ghost Festival in China, and of course she spends time in Mexico, where ghosts have a particularly strong grip on belief and culture. Along the way she gathers the ectoplasmic residues seeping from books and film reels, from the Gothic novel The Castle of Otranto to the 2007 blockbuster Paranormal Activity, from the stories of Ann Radcliffe to those of Stephen King. Wide-ranging, informative, and slicked with over fifty unearthly images, Ghosts is an entertaining read of a cultural phenomenon that will delight anyone, whether they believe in ghosts or not.
