Obwohl die Leiche nie auftauchte, gilt Devon als tot, doch Marcy klammert sich an die irreale Uberzeugung, dass ihre Tochter eines Tages zu ihr zuruckkehrt. Als ihr Mann Peter sie dann auch noch verlasst, hat Marcy nichts mehr, worauf sie noch vertrauen kann im Leben. Dennoch entschliet sie sich, die gemeinsam geplante Reise nach Irland alleine anzutreten.

Hat sie einen unsichtbaren Feind, der verhindern will, dass sie dem ratselhaften Schicksal ihrer Tochter auf den Grund kommt? Noch kann Marcy nicht ahnen, dass sie in Geschehnisse verwickelt werden wird, die sie fast das Leben kosten ...

Six years have passed since Jake Fisher watched Natalie, the love of his life, marry another man. Six years of hiding a broken heart by throwing himself into his career as a college professor. Six years of keeping his promise to leave Natalie alone, and six years of tortured dreams of her life with her new husband, Todd. But six years haven't come close to extinguishing his feelings, and when Jake comes across Todd's obituary, he can't keep himself away from the funeral. There he gets the glimpse of Todd's wife he's hoping for...but she is not Natalie. Whoever the mourning widow is, she's been married to Todd for more than a decade, and with that fact everything Jake thought he knew about the best time of his life - a time he has never gotten over - is turned completely inside out. As Jake searches for the truth, his picture-perfect memories of Natalie begin to unravel. Mutual friends of the couple either can't be found or don't remember Jake. No one has seen Natalie in years. Jake's search for the woman who broke his heart - and who lied to him - soon puts his very life at risk as it dawns on him that the man he has become may be based on carefully constructed fiction.

Tinham um passado em comum, mas não era apenas isso que os unia. Há quatro anos, Franci Duncan e Sean Riordan, companheiros na Força Aérea, terminaram a sua relação: ela queria casar-se e ter filhos e ele não. Contudo, um encontro casual demonstrou-lhes que a sua amarga rutura não tinha acabado com a paixão que ardia entre eles.

Para que Franci e Sean voltassem a confiar um no outro era necessário um pequeno milagre e um amor daqueles que é capaz de mover montanhas.

They range from the poetic to the mysterious and the darkly comic, yet all possess the genius of the grotesque that defines Poe's writing. The stories are so alive with compelling mysteries, vibrant images and unforgettably tormented characters, that it is easy to associate Edgar Allan Poe solely with entertainment and forget that he was also one of the greatest innovators in modern literature. This volume contains all of Poe's "Tales of Mystery and Imagination" and "Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque", and a selection of his poetry.

Conscients que alguna cosa passa sota laparença de quotidianitat, en aquest recull de relats, tots ells pautats amb una gran musicalitat, lautor descabdella al voltant del desenllaç les seves reflexions sovint inquietants: A mesura que ens fem adults i que la vida ens treballa les duricies a uns quants, les escates a uns altres i a segons qui lescorça, el nostre guia el de cadascu ens va deixant de la ma de Deu, no per desidia ni matusseria, sino perque suposa que ja hem adquirit prou defenses per saber caminar sense custodia.
