Flawless

Flawless er første bind i Elsie Silvers sexede small town-serie Chestnut Springs, der har taget BookTok med storm. Beskeden var klar: Hold hænderne for dig selv. Men nu er der kun én seng, og regler er jo til for at blive brudt … Rhett Easton har altid været den mest populære bull rider i branchen. Eller … det var han. Nu skal han redde sit image, og hans agents stædige datter skal hjælpe ham. Han har ikke brug for en babysitter på ranchen i Chestnut Springs – især ikke en med et frækt smil og en mund, han ikke kan få ud af hovedet. Summer Hamilton gør det klart over for Rhett, at deres gnist ikke betyder noget. Men hvem prøver hun egentlig at overbevise? Hans ry kan ikke tåle flere skrammer, og det kan Summers hjerte heller ikke. Men det stopper ikke Rhett fra at forsøge at vinde det. “Elsie Silvers forfatterskab er intet mindre end en åbenbaring!” Ali Hazelwood

A New York Times Best Wine Book of 2018 Flawless is the first book of its kind dedicated to exploring the main causes of faults in wine. From cork taint, to volatile acidity, to off-putting aromas and flavors, all wine connoisseurs have encountered unappealing qualities in a disappointing bottle. But are all faults truly bad? Are some even desirable? Jamie Goode brings his authoritative voice to the table once again to demystify the science behind what causes a good bottle to go bad. By exposing the root causes of faults in wine, Flawless challenges us to rethink our assumptions about how wine should taste and how we can understand beauty in a glass.

NOW A NETFLIX DOCUMENTARY (Stolen: Heist of the Century) "Tells the story with the gripping pace of a true-crime 'Ocean's Eleven.'" The New York Post • "Like a diamond, this true-life caper is clear, colorful, and brilliant." Publishers Weekly ¿Starred Review¿ The Antwerp Diamond Center was one of the most secure buildings in the world. With hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of diamonds stored in its subterranean vault, it had to be. Located in the heart of Belgium's ultra-secure Antwerp Diamond District, it was protected by two police stations, armed patrols, extensive video surveillance, and vehicle barriers securing an area where 80 percent of the world's diamonds trade hands. But on February 15, 2003, a band of skilled Italian thieves - fronted by the charming Leonardo Notarbartolo, who spent over two years clandestinely casing the building - subverted every one of the Diamond Center's defenses and made off with a record amount of loot. Experts estimate they got away with nearly half a billion dollars in diamonds, cash, and other valuables. They'd pulled off the biggest heist in history. The robbers did it with stealth and smarts; no one was hurt or even threatened during what was quickly labeled the largest diamond heist in history. The bandits - members of a group of professional thieves known as "The School of Turin" - used cunning in lieu of violence, successfully evading security cameras, thwarting an array of electronic sensors, and penetrating a vault protected by a double-locked, foot-thick steel door. Flawless is a fast-paced global scavenger hunt uncovering the truth behind the daring Valentine's Day weekend heist. Tracking clues, sources, and documents throughout Europe - from seedy cafés in Turin, Italy, to sleek diamond offices in Antwerp, Belgium - authors Scott Selby and Greg Campbell retrace Notarbartolo's careful discovery of the building's security flaws. They recreate the heist and its aftermath - detailing how the thieves brilliantly neutralized each element of the security protecting the Diamond Center's vault while inviting readers into the secretive world of diamonds and diamond dealing. The result is a thrilling ride through the better-than-fiction heist of the century. "Fans of caper books and movies will be in seventh heaven." Booklist ¿Starred Review¿

"Tells the story with the gripping pace of a true-crime 'Ocean's Eleven.'" The New York Post The Antwerp Diamond Center was one of the most secure buildings in the world. With hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of diamonds stored in its subterranean vault, it had to be. Located in the heart of Belgium's ultra-secure Antwerp Diamond District, it benefited from two police stations, armed patrols, extensive video surveillance, and vehicle barriers securing an area where 80 percent of the world's diamonds traded hands. But on February 15, 2003, a band of skilled Italian thieves - fronted by the charming Leonardo Notarbartolo, who spent over two years clandestinely casing the building - subverted every one of the Diamond Center's defenses and made off with a record amount of loot. Experts estimate they got away with nearly half a billion dollars in diamonds, cash and other valuables. They'd pulled off the biggest heist in history--everybody loves diamonds and they now had more than any thief before them. The robbers did it with stealth and smarts; no one was hurt or even threatened during what was quickly labeled the largest diamond heist in history. The bandits - members of a group of professional thieves known as "The School of Turin" - used cunning in lieu of violence, successfully evading security cameras, thwarting an array of electronic sensors, and penetrating a vault protected by a double-locked foot-thick steel door. Even when the police zeroed in on who committed the crime, how it was done remained a mystery, like something out of a heist movie or TV show. Flawless is a fast-paced global scavenger hunt uncovering the truth behind the daring Valentine's Day weekend heist.
