Resultados para "Aquila" en Negra y suspense

De la autora de Circe, una epopeya inolvidable Grecia en la era de los héroes. Patroclo, un príncipe joven y torpe, ha sido exiliado al reino de Ftía, donde vive a la sombra del rey Peleo y su hijo divino, Aquiles.

As a part-time librarian, I cherish the peace of old books, trying to bury a past I'd rather forget. But that peacefulness was shattered one morning with a violent struggle on my porch. I watched in horror as one man ended up dead. Panicked, I fled to the only sanctuary I knew: the newly appointed Captain of the Irish Mafia. I'm just terrified of what he will do when he finds out the truth about who I really am.

What would you do if your father gave away your hand in marriage to settle a gambling debt without your knowledge? Mine did exactly that. But I didn't get married, I conked the guy on the head, kicked my heels off, and hiked up my skirt. 'Chubby legs don't fail me now' is what I muttered just before I fled the little Woodland Church.

La rivista d’inchiesta Millennium ha dovuto chiudere i battenti e presto diventerà un podcast, ma Mikael Blomkvist, che l’ha diretta per trentun anni, non ha perso la sete di verità, soprattutto se scomoda. Il giornalismo è nel suo dna, e il suo fiuto per la notizia si risveglia dovunque, perfino nel Norrbotten, regione svedese sperduta e ricoperta di boschi dove la figlia Pernilla sta per sposarsi. All’insaputa di Mikael, anche Lisbeth Salander ha raggiunto il Nord, convocata dai servizi sociali per prendersi cura di Svala, la nipote tredicenne di cui ignorava l’esistenza: un’adolescente geniale come lei.

Imagine my surprise when I got a phone call demanding to know who TF I was without so much as a hello. I hung up on the prick. A second later a woman called apologizing for him and explaining that my father was in an accident. Problem is, I've never met the man. Not only do I not know him, but I have a half-brother to boot, who is insistent that I come at once. Hopefully, the prick isn't there when I arrive. That is if I go, I haven't decided yet.
