Nunca duermas con extraños Habían pasado cuatro años desde que Jon Stuart contempló cómo su esposa perecía de una forma espantosa al precipitarse por el balcón de su residencia escocesa. Aunque la justicia dictaminó en su día que la muerte de Cassandra Stuart había sido accidental, todos sospecharon de él. Por fin, después de perder amistades y ver empañado su buen nombre durante años, Jon se había propuesto demostrar que la muerte de Cassandra no había sido accidental... sino provocada. Para llevar a cabo su peligroso plan, Jon había reunido a los principales sospechosos en el escenario del crimen. Allí, en el castillo de sus antepasados, el pasado chocó con el presente, los antiguos amantes volvían a encontrarse... y el asesino tramaba otro crimen perfecto. Los colores del asesino Chloe Marin podía considerarse una mujer afortunada. Solo era una adolescente cuando la mansión de la playa en la que se encontraba con unos amigos quedó reducida a un baño de sangre. Según las autoridades, los asesinos fueron hallados muertos más tarde en el manglar, pero Chloe no terminaba de estar convencida de ello. Diez años después, siendo ya una psicóloga a la que la policía consultaba con regularidad, se vio envuelta en el caso de la desaparición de una joven modelo. Todo el mundo daba por sentado que se había escapado con alguien para disfrutar de la vida, todos menos Chloe, que había empezado a recibir la visita del fantasma de la joven. Alguien más se estaba interesando por la suerte de la modelo: Luke Cane, un investigador privado que estaba indagando en la desaparición por cuenta del padre de la chica. Chloe y Luke no confiaban demasiado el uno en el otro, aunque sí eran conscientes de que había una innegable atracción entre ellos. Pero una segunda masacre empezó a convencer a Chloe de que su presencia ya no podía ser una mera coincidencia...

Beneath evil and destruction lies truth... and eternal passion

TROUBLE ALWAYS FINDS HER… Wrapping up a normal day at the office, criminal psychologist Kieran Finnegan is accosted by a desperate woman who shoves an infant into her arms and then flees, only to be murdered minutes later on a busy Manhattan street. Who was the woman? Where did the baby come from? Kieran can’t stop thinking about the child and the victim, so her boyfriend, Craig Frasier, does what any good special agent boyfriend would do—he gets the FBI involved. And asks Kieran to keep out of it. But the Finnegans have a knack for getting into trouble, and Kieran won’t sit idle when a lead surfaces through her family’s pub. Investigating on her own, she uncovers a dangerous group that plays fast and loose with human lives and will stop at nothing to keep their secrets—and they plan to silence Kieran before she can expose their deadly enterprise.

On a fragile planet with spreading food insecurity, food waste is a political and ethical problem. Examining the collaborative, sometimes scrappy institutional and community efforts to recuperate and redistribute food waste in Brussels, Belgium, Kelly Alexander reveals it is also an opportunity for new forms of sociality. Her study plays out across a diverse set of locations—including a food bank with ties to the EU, a social restaurant serving low-cost meals made from supermarket surplus by an emergent immigrant labor force, and a social inclusion program in an urban market with a "zero food waste" pop-up cafe. Alexander argues that these efforts, in concert with innovative policy, effectively recirculate wasted food to new publics and produce what she terms a "spectrum of edibility." According to Alexander, these models face challenges—including reproducing the very power dynamics across race, class, and citizenship status they seek to circumvent. They also mirror the challenges of the everyday operations of the European social welfare state, which is increasingly reliant on NGOs to meet provisioning promises. Yet she finds that they also move the needle forward to reduce food waste across one city, providing an example for major urban centers around the world.
