Stel je voor dat er een plek is waar je niet wordt aangeraakt door de geluiden en spanningen van de moderne wereld. Waar je, ongeacht wat er om je heen gebeurt, tijd en ruimte kunt vinden om te ademen. Deze plek bestaat. Het heet De Stilte. Sommige mensen besteden een leven aan meditatie en spirituele studies om het te vinden. Je kunt er in slechts 13 minuten naartoe gaan.

Psychic Derek Ogilvie is the baby mind reader – called in when parents have tried all else, Derek communicates with children to find the reasons behind their problem behaviour, tantrums and sleepless nights. Derek Ogilvie is one of Scotland's best-known and respected psychics. He can be seen on Five TV in 2006 with his new show ‘The Baby Mind Reader’, where he exhibits his rare ability of being able to communicate telepathically with babies and young children. In this, his fascinating first book published alongside his TV series, Derek shares the story of his rollercoaster life and how he rediscovered his psychic powers and his true calling in life. At the age of nine Derek realised he was psychic when his dead neighbour started visiting him every night while he was in bed. But as a young man, Derek’s psychic abilities took a back seat as he concentrated on building a business empire and becoming a millionaire. However, five years ago, Derek’s business went bust, his house was repossessed, his partner left him and his grandmother died. Only then did Derek take stock of his life and reconnect with his psychic gift to start helping other people. It was at this point that Derek realised he could also communicate with babies and young children, as well as animals. Funny and poignant, this is Derek’s amazing story.

In this gripping debut thriller, a mathematician named James Fenster is assassinated just before a speech at a World Trade Organization meeting. The murder is executed with chilling precision: Fenster's hotel room in Amsterdam is incinerated while the rest of the building remains unharmed. Veteran Interpol agent Henri Poincaré embarks on a high-stakes quest for answers, accompanied by his chain-smoking colleague Serge Laurent. Their investigation uncovers a diverse list of suspects, including the leader of the Indigenous Liberation Front, militants, a hedge fund director, Fenster's ex-fiancée, and a graduate student in mathematics. As Poincaré makes progress in America, he faces a formidable adversary tied to a haunting past involving a genocide case, forcing him back to Europe to confront the unfathomable. Stripped of his confidence and grappling with despair, he begins to see a connection between the two cases, realizing he may be the key to unraveling the mystery. This first installment in the Henri Poincaré series combines a sharp mystery with profound religious themes, appealing to both agnostics and believers alike. Readers who enjoy the works of John Le Carré, Scott Turow, and Dan Brown will be captivated by Rosen's storytelling and the resourceful, haunted protagonist. The novel promises to resonate with a wide audience, showcasing dazzling prose and an unconventional approach to the thriller genre.
