De Schotse dichteres Elspeth Dunn heeft het afgelegen eiland Skye, waar ze is geboren en getogen, nog nooit verlaten. Een brief van een fan, de Amerikaanse student Davey, is het begin van een correspondentie die algauw haar leven beheerst. Als Davey naar Europa afreist om als ambulancechauffeur voor het Franse leger te werken, kan Elspeth niet anders dan het einde van de Eerste Wereldoorlog afwachten op haar afgelegen eiland, bang dat ze Davey zal kwijtraken voor ze hem ooit in zijn ogen heeft kunnen kijken. Een generatie en een oorlog later zet Elspeths dochter Margaret zich in voor de evacuatie van kinderen vanuit Londen naar de veiligheid van het platteland. Als haar moeder plotseling verdwijnt, vindt Margaret een stapel brieven van een Amerikaanse soldaat. Uit de geheimen die haar moeder en Davey aan hun briefpapier hebben toevertrouwd probeert Margaret op te maken waar Elspeth zou kunnen zijn - voor de Duitse bommen hen voorgoed van elkaar scheiden.

Nora è la tipica ragazza della porta accanto: molto carina, seria, studiosa. Patch è il classico cattivo ragazzo, strafottente, complicato e decisamente affascinante. Lei non sa perché lui la attragga tanto, in fondo non è il suo tipo. Lui invece sa benissimo perché inizia a corteggiarla, ed è un motivo oscuro e inquietante, legato a un passato talmente spaventoso da risultare semplicemente inconfessabile. Patch non ha dubbi su quello che è giusto o sbagliato quando si avvicina a Nora, eppure lo fa. Se vuole restare su questa Terra, dovrà rubarle la vita, letteralmente. Invece, sarà lei a farlo. Perché la passione può attraversare i secoli e trascendere la comprensione, perché l'amore può davvero cambiare le persone, rendendole invincibili e... immortali. Questa è la saga che ha contribuito a creare il genere letterario che non ha ancora smesso di affascinare le lettrici. Finalmente riuniti, ecco i quattro romanzi che hanno raccontato - in un crescendo di suspense e colpi di scena - l'irresistibile storia d'amore fra Nora e Patch, fra esseri umani e angeli caduti, fondendo thriller e romance...

Following the success of "Cross Bones," Kathy Reichs delves into a gripping international case in her latest thriller. Forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan is called to South Carolina to substitute for a negligent colleague, only to find herself teaching a lackluster archaeology field school at a Native American burial site. However, when she discovers a fresh skeleton among ancient remains, her friend Emma Rousseau, the local coroner, persuades her to assist with the investigation. Emma reveals a troubling secret, intensifying Tempe's involvement as the body count rises. An unidentified man is found hanging from a tree, and another corpse surfaces in a barrel, both bearing mysterious nicks and signs of strangulation. Tempe's investigation leads her to a street clinic with a hostile staff, a suspicious doctor, and a charismatic televangelist donor. As she navigates this complex case, the local sheriff remains skeptical, and Tempe's own life is put at risk. Meanwhile, her love life complicates matters further; Ryan, her current boyfriend, visits from Montreal, while her ex-husband Pete is investigating a local woman's disappearance, creating tension in their shared beach house. "Break No Bones" is a taut thriller filled with high-stakes crime and compelling characters, showcasing Reichs at her best.

In the twelfth novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs, forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan finds herself buried alive after being accused of mishandling the autopsy of a Canadian heiress. There are 206 bones in the human body. Forensic anthropologists know them intimately, and can use them to recreate every kind of violent end. Tempe wakes up to discover that she is enclosed in a kind of very small, very dark, very cold space. She is bound, hands to feet, and there’s something wrong with her ankle. Unsure of where she is, Tempe slowly begins to work out what has happened… When the body of a missing heiress was discovered, Temperance Brennan and Lieutenant Ryan accompanied the remains from Montreal to the Chicago morgue. Their trip was soon interrupted when an incriminating phone call accused Tempe of mishandling the autopsy—and the case. But before Tempe could face her accuser, the one man with information about the call died, and Tempe was left in the dark. As the facts slowly slot into place, Tempe wonders who wants her dead, or at least out of the way, and why? Pulse-pounding, electrifying, and seamlessly weaving between past and present, 206 Bones describes the incredible devastation that occurs when forensic evidence is sabotaged in the lab.
