Morhelion - Dominic Dulley - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

An alien exile. A lethal secret. The hunt is on . . . Orry Kent may not have stopped the war between the Ascendancy and the alien Kadiran, but at least she saved the Grand Fleet from annihilation. Now she just wants to get on with her own life - until a con turns sour and a dying agent of the emperor''s Seventh Secretariat tells Orry there''s a traitor at the highest levels of the Ascendancy. Which is why she finds herself stranded among the floating bubble habitats of Morhelion, searching for a Kadiran exile who has information critical to the war effort - and the survival of the Ascendancy itself. ''A satisfyingly convoluted plot that sorts out a lot of loose ends but leaves more things lined up for a further book. It''s a great read for fans of space opera and criminal capers'' SF Crowsnest

Why Stuff Matters - Jen Waldo - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

When Jessica, a grieving widow, inherits an antique mall from her mother she also inherits the stallholders, an elderly, amoral, acquisitive, and paranoid collection. When one of the vendors, a wily ex-con named Roxy, shoots her ex-husband, she calls on Jessica to help bury the body and soon Jessica is embroiled in cover-ups, lies, and misdirection. Into this mix comes Lizzie, Jessica''s late husband''s twelve-year-old daughter by his first marriage, who''s been dumped on Jessica''s doorstep by the child''s self-absorbed mother and it soon becomes apparent that Lizzie is as obsessed with material possessions as Jessica''s elderly tenants. Why Stuff Matters is a compelling ode to possession, why people like things and the curious lengths they will go to keep them. Returning to her fictional Caprock, Waldo turns her wry wit on the lives of those afraid to let go.

Their search for answers takes them to the jagged place where the ship''s future intersects with its long past.

My Friend Anna - Rachel Deloache Williams - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

*THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* *ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE''S MUST-READ BOOKS OF 2019* *WITH NEW & EXCLUSIVE AFTERWORD* ''Addictive ... a jaw-dropping read'' STYLIST ''Explosive ... Definitely one for the beach'' ELLE ''Paints a fascinating picture of an eccentric egomaniac who rails against all authority ... gripping stuff'' SUNDAY TIMES ___________ How does it feel to be betrayed by your closest friend? A close friend who turns out to be the most prolific grifter in New York City...This is the true story of Anna Delvey (real name Anna Sorokin), the fake heiress whose dizzying deceit and elaborate con-artistry deceived the Soho hipster scene before her ruse was finally and dramatically exposed.After meeting through mutual friends, the ''Russian heiress'' Anna Delvey and Rachel DeLoache Williams soon became inseparable. Theirs was an intoxicating world of endless excess: high dining, personal trainer sessions, a luxury holiday ... and Anna footed almost every bill.But after Anna''s debit card was declined in a Moroccan medina whilst on holiday in a five-star luxury resort, Rachel began to suspect that her increasingly mysterious friend was not all she seemed.This is the incredible story of how Anna Sorokin conned the high-rollers of the NYC social scene and convinced her close friend of an entirely concocted fantasy, the product of falsified bank documents, bad cheques and carefully edited online photos. Written by Rachel DeLoache Williams, the Vanity Fair photography editor who believed Anna''s lies before helping the police to track her down (fittingly, deciphering Anna''s location using Instagram), this is Catch Me If You Can with Instagram filters. Between Anna, Fyre Festival''s Billy McFarland (Anna even tried to scam Billy) and Elizabeth Holmes, whose start-up app duped the high and mighty of Silicon Valley, this is the year of the scammer.
