Harry Bingham Libri

Duplice omicidio: una giovane donna e la figlia di sei anni vengono trovate uccise in un appartamento dei quartieri malfamati di Cardiff, Galles. La casa è in condizioni terribili, eppure in un angolo viene trovata la carta di credito di un miliardario scomparso sei mesi prima in un misterioso incidente aereo. Del caso si occupa anche l’agente investigativo Fiona Griffiths, coraggiosa, intuitiva e con una laurea in filosofia, che è stata assunta in polizia da pochissimo tempo. Fiona è sicura che la morte di madre e figlia sia solo parte di una vicenda ben più complessa e si getta a capofitto nelle indagini: quella che scopre è una realtà terrificante; troppo, per non lasciarsi coinvolgere. Perché Fiona non è un’agente comune. C’è un buco nero nel suo passato, due anni di cui nessuno sa nulla, forse nemmeno lei. Due anni che però hanno qualcosa a che vedere con ciò che le sta accadendo ora e che non può confidare a nessuno. Perché è così a suo agio in presenza di un cadavere? Perché il contatto con i morti le infonde tanta quiete? Con una delle protagoniste più affascinanti nel panorama del thriller internazionale, Parla con i morti è il primo capitolo di una trilogia che vi farà perdere il sonno.

Three sons, one massive fortune. The race to be the first to make £1,000,000 to win the inheritence is on... Harry Bingham is a wonderful new talent in the great bestselling storytelling tradition of Jeffrey Archer and Dick Francis. Three sons. One fortune. Who will win it? A wealthy Yorkshire industrialist dies and leaves his three sons and one daughter, all used to a life of extreme luxury... absolutely nothing. Except the chance to win the entire inheritance by whichever one of them has one million pounds in his bank account at the end of three years. Startled out of their indulgent lives, the three sons start competing against each other in their mad attempt to make a million pounds. Two of them go into the City, the eldest buys a run-down factory. Which one of them is going to be successful in their desperate bid and win the millions? With a knack for story-telling in the style of Jeffrey Archer, this compulsively readable and absolutely un-put-downable novel heralds the arrival of a new bestselling, extremely commercial talent on the scene.

The fifth in the acclaimed series featuring crime fiction's most unusual and engaging detective, DC Fiona Griffiths When the body of a young woman is found in an old 'dead house' - the annexe where the dead were stored before burial in medieval times - of a tiny Welsh church, it seems that past and present have come together in a bizarre and horrifying way. For DC Fiona Griffiths, the girl - a murder victim whose corpse was laid out with obvious tenderness - represents an irresistibly intriguing puzzle, given Fiona's unusual empathy with the dead. And when her investigations lead her to an obscure and secretive monastery hidden in a remote valley, she finds that the dead girl is far from the only victim of a sinister melding of modern crime and medieval religious practices. Only Fiona is capable of putting the mismatched pieces together in this disturbing puzzle, but immersing herself in this dark and obsessive world could threaten her fragile grip on her own sanity.

In the bestselling tradition of Jeffrey Archer and Dick Francis comes a hot new commercial talent. A young scientist, Cameron, has an idea which could revolutionise medicine. She believes that, once published, her findings will change the world. A maverick financier, Bryn, sees the potential, but convinces her that truth alone is never what secures change: it's money, nous and competitive savvy. He persuades her to go into business with him. Their aim: to build a stockmarket company worth a hundred million pounds - big enough to survive assault; strong enough to market Cameron's technology to the entire world. Corinth, a corporation worth a hundred billion dollars, sees Cameron's technology as a threat and aims to wipe out the fledgling enterprise. The story becomes a race to the stockmarket - and a battle to survive.

Am 23. August 1893 werden zwei Kinder geboren: Alan ist der Sohn von Sir Adam Montague, Tom der Sohn seines Gärtners. Die Kinder wachsen gemeinsam auf, und es scheint, als könne diese Freundschaft nichts trüben - abgesehen von der Aussicht, dass Alan die Reichtümer seines Vaters, Tom hingegen gar nichts erben wird. Ein tragisches Missverständnis in den Schützengräben des Ersten Weltkriegs verwandelt die tiefe Freundschaft in bittere Rivalität. Eine Rivalität, die sich zukünftig nur um eines dreht: Öl. Und für die beiden Männer gibt es nur ein Ziel, das ihnen wichtiger ist als der Reichtum: Rache.
