Nemesis

Mllionæren mr. Rafiel er en gammel bekendt af miss Marple. Kort efter hans død modtager miss Marple et mærkeligt postkort fra ham, hvori han opfordrer hende til at søge retfærdighed og opklare en gammel forbrydelse. Hun vil arve 20.000 pund, hvis det lykkes. Han nævner bare ikke, hvem eller hvad sagen drejer sig om. Han har dog arrangeret en selskabsrejse rundt til Berømte Hjem og Haver i Storbritannien. Undervejs kommer miss Marple på sporet … af et mord og mørke gerninger fra fortiden … Fra mr. Rafiels brev: I nogle henseender vil denne sag forblive en hemmelighed mellem Dem og mig. Vort kodeord, min kære veninde, er Nemesis. Jeg kan ikke tro, De skulle have glemt, hvor og under hvilke omstændigheder De første gang nævnede det ord for mig ... Rosenkilde & Bahnhof nyudgiver Agathe Christies romaner. Bøgerne er sprogligt reviderede. Agatha Christie (Lady Mallowan, født Agatha Mary Clarissa Miller) (1890-1976), britisk kriminalforfatter. En af de til alle tider mest elskede forfattere inden for denne klassiske genre. Hun skrev omkring 80 kriminalromaner og er – især med disse værker – oversat til alverdens sprog. Hendes figurer Hercule Poirot og Miss Marple står helt centralt i den britiske kriminaltradition. Derudover skrev Agatha Christie både noveller og skuespil samt – hvad der måske vil være en overraskelse for flere – seks kærlighedsromaner under pseudonymet Mary Westmacott. Hendes kriminallystspil The Mousetrap er det længst løbende teaterstykke i historien. Agatha Christie (1890-1976) er Englands ukronede krimidronning og skaberen af kendte og elskede figurer som mesterdetektiven Hercule Poirot og den lettere påtrængende, men ikke desto mindre geniale Miss Marple. Agatha Christie er den bedst sælgende krimiforfatter i verden, og hendes bøger er oversat til flere sprog end William Shakespeares. Mange af romanerne er tilmed blevet lavet til både film, TV og sat op på hæderkronede teatre.

A DANGEROUS CHASE. A SADISTIC KILLER. DS Lucas Walker is on assignment for the AFP, and it couldn't be more personal. This is his last chance to take down Stefan Markovich - the Vandals leader who tried to have him killed after Walker uncovered his drug operation, and has evaded justice for years. Having tracked Markovich to Berlin, Walker heads to Germany to lure his nemesis out of hiding and into custody. And there is another draw for Walker in Berlin: he finally gets to see Barbara again. Still dealing with the trauma of her sister's ordeal in outback Australia, Barbara is working her own case - a suspicious death that casts a dark shadow over a peaceful lake colony. Everything about the horrific scene tells Barbara it's murder, and when a second body emerges she realises she is hunting a killer who is watching their victims die in agony. As Walker and Barbara grapple with their cases, they must also face their feelings for each other - amid the constant threats of the world they inhabit.

A classic Marple mystery, read by Emilia Fox. In utter disbelief Miss Marple read the letter addressed to her from the recently deceased Mr Rafiel – an acquaintance she had met briefly on her travels. Recognising in Miss Marple a natural flair for justice, Mr Rafiel had left instructions for her to investigate a crime after his death. The only problem was, he had failed to tell her who was involved or where and when the crime had been committed. It was most intriguing.

The extraordinary tale of Philip Augustus, one of medieval Europe’s greatest monarchs, and the part he played in the downfall of four Plantagenet kings of England. Philip II ruled France with an iron fist for over 40 years, expanding its borders and increasing its power. For his entire reign his counterpart on the English throne was a member of the Plantagenet dynasty, and Philip took on them all: Henry II, Richard the Lionheart, John and Henry III. Yet we know so little about medieval England’s greatest enemy. Historian Catherine Hanley, author of the critically acclaimed 1217 , redresses this imbalance, bringing Philip out of the shadows in this fascinating history. Delving into French medieval archives, Nemesis explores Philip’s motives for attacking England and in doing so we learn not only about him but discover so much more about England’s most colourful and controversial of rulers – the Plantagenets. When Philip first succeeded to the throne in 1180, Henry II of England, thanks to his Angevin and Norman ancestry as well as his wife’s inheritance of Aquitaine, ruled more of France than Philip himself. By the end of Philip’s reign in 1223, the pendulum of power had swung the other way. Nemesis reveals how Philip exploited the constant squabbles of the Plantagenets to secure his grip on France, his wily political manoeuvring combined with a mastery of the medieval battlefield turning France into a powerhouse of Europe.

Yet we know so little about medieval England’s greatest enemy. Historian Catherine Hanley, author of the critically acclaimed 1217 , redresses this imbalance, bringing Philip out of the shadows in this fascinating history. Delving into French medieval archives, Nemesis explores Philip’s motives for attacking England and in doing so we learn not only about him but discover so much more about England’s most colourful and controversial of rulers – the Plantagenets. When Philip first succeeded to the throne in 1180, Henry II of England, thanks to his Angevin and Norman ancestry as well as his wife’s inheritance of Aquitaine, ruled more of France than Philip himself. By the end of Philip’s reign in 1223, the pendulum of power had swung the other way. Nemesis reveals how Philip exploited the constant squabbles of the Plantagenets to secure his grip on France, his wily political manoeuvring combined with a mastery of the medieval battlefield turning France into a powerhouse of Europe.

Ant nio Francisco Bonfim Lopes was a hardworking young father before he became the king of Rocinha, the largest slum in Rio; the head of a drug cartel; and perhaps Brazil's most wanted criminal, known as "Nem." Nemesis is the riveting account of Nem's ruthless ascent, his sway over its anarchic outlaw culture, and ultimately--his downfall. Struggling to come up with funds to pay for the hospital bills necessary to save a sick baby's life, a twenty-four-year-old Nem is forced to take a loan from a local mafioso, a decision that plunges him into the heart of Rio's criminal underworld. Over the next sixteen years, as he grows in stature, Nem will try to bring welfare and justice to a playground of gang culture and destitution. Drawn from years of in-person interviews and told with humanity and warmth-- Nemesis is an unflinching, dramatic investigation into the rise of a crime lord in Rio and the menacing conditions of life inside the favela.
