He’s willing to help a man down on his luck, but later, Lennox commits suicide in Mexico and things start to turn nasty. Marlowe finds himself drawn into a sordid crowd of adulterers and alcoholics in LA’s Idle Valley, where the rich are suffering one big suntanned hangover. Marlowe is sure Lennox didn’t kill his wife, but how many more stiffs will turn up before he gets to the truth?

Zonder het te weten wordt Mitchell McDeere, briljant rechtenstudent van arme ouders, al geruime tijd in de gaten gehouden. Zodra hij afstudeert, biedt het prestigieuze juristenkantoor Bendini, Lambert & Locke hem niet alleen een zeer aantrekkelijke baan aan, maar het overlaadt de net getrouwde Mitchell ook nog eens met een zeer vorstelijk salaris, een schitterende auto, een prachtig huis met een zeer lage hypotheek en talrijke bonussen. Niets laat het kantoor onbeproefd om het de uitverkoren nieuwe medewerker naar de zin te maken. Er moet natuurlijk wel wat tegenover staan: absolute loyaliteit, een negentigurige werkweek en haast onhaalbare resultaten. Na verloop van tijd begint de dodelijk vermoeide Mitchell zich ongemakkelijk te voelen in het strakke keurslijf van zijn werkgever. Wat gaat er schuil achter de respectabele façade van het kantoor en wat speelt zich af op de ontoegankelijke bovenste verdieping? Als Mitchell dan ook nog ontdekt dat geen enkele medewerker ooit de zaak verlaten heeft - tenzij horizontaal -, zien Mitchell en zijn inmiddels wanhopige vrouw Abby maar één manier om hun vrijheid terug te krijgen..

In the detective business, Spenser sometimes has to bend the law. Other times, to break it. But he lives by his own inviolate rules.

And Susan has gotten herself into even bigger trouble. Now Spenser has to free them both...even if it means breaking his own rules to do it. "If you like tight writing, no wasted words and interesting characters, Parker will be your cup of tea." (USA Today)

[ Penguin Readers Level 2 ] The idea for this famous story came to du Maurier one day when she was walking across to Menabilly Barton farm from the house. She saw a farmer busily ploughing a field whilst above him the seagulls were diving and wheeling. She developed an idea about the birds becoming hostile and attacking him. In her story, the birds become hostile after a harsh winter with little food—first the seagulls, then birds of prey, and finally even small birds—all turn against mankind. The nightmarish vision appealed to Hitchcock who turned it into the celebrated film.

Initially published under the pseudonym Currer Bell in 1847, Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre erupted onto the English literary scene, immediately winning the devotion of many of the world's most renowned writers, including William Makepeace Thackeray, who declared it a work "of great genius." Passionate, dramatic, and surprisingly modern, Jane Eyre endures as one of the world's most beloved novels. This Modern Library Paperback Classics edition includes a new Introduction by Diane Johnson, the National Book Award-nominated author of many novels, including Le Mariage and Le Divorce. The timeless story of Jane Eyre has arrived on Broadway as a spectacular new musical from an all-star production team, consisting of John Caird (Les Misérables, Nicholas Nickleby), who adapted and staged (with Scott Schwartz); composer Paul Gordon; designer John Napier (Cats, Les Misérables, Sunset Boulevard); costume designer Andreane Neofitou (Les Misérables, Miss Saigon); and lighting designers Jules Fisher and Peggy Eisenhauer, six-time winners of the Tonytm Award.

As the delicate operation proceeds, Talbot finds himself trapped in a whirl of nightmarish events involving terrorism and drugs -- and a diabolic plot that leads straight to the Pentagon.
