131,95 kr. Jacob Lazerson is a retired mathematics professor and Orthodox Jew whose self-appointed mission in the last years of his life is to reconcile mathematics and science with codes hidden in the text of the Hebrew Bible. From the impoverished apartment he shares with his supportive wife, Sarah, in a tightly knit Chassidic community located in an ethnically diverse neighborhood in Montreal, Jacob runs an elaborate computer program that he has invented to unravel the key to life itself. This key, he's certain, is contained in the form of DNA codes originally encoded in God's blueprint for the physical universe, the Hebrew Bible. He is equally sure that his efforts will be rewarded with no less than the onset of the Messianic Age: a time when peace and love will banish evil from the entire human family. When the Covid-19 pandemic brings suffering and death to the world, and into Jacob's own house, his mission becomes more urgent.

158,95 kr. In a remote Finnish resort, a group of potential investors gather to enjoy the Arctic beauty and the mesmeric Northern lights. But many of the guests aren't who they appear to be, and everyone is hiding something-from the gaudy Americans to the adventurous German and Australian couple to the quiet Yakuza and his former Geisha wife. Owner Mattais and his skeptical daughter, Aino, have ignored family legends, dismissing the warnings of honoring their ancient forest as silly, old-fashioned traditions. But when the guests start to be picked off one by one, their blood soaked in the snow, the old tales don't seem so far-fetched anymore. A spectre haunts the forest and the survivors must decipher who-or what-is taking revenge.

158,95 kr. After George Wickham is found tied up, naked, on the Austen University Campus Square, President de Bourgh gives student journalist Lizzy Bennet an ultimatum: Find out who committed the crime, or be expelled from the school. Lizzy must team up with some old friends (like the Austen Murder Club) and some new (like...Karoline Bingley?) to get to the bottom of the truth.Complicating matters is the fact that the prime suspect is Fo-Hian Darcy. Darcy and Lizzy have a messy history, but even so, Lizzy just can't accept that Darcy committed the crime. An anonymous whistleblower tips off Lizzy about a secret website called the Portraits of Pemberley that may help her get to the bottom of the mystery--but discovering the truth about who's involved may very well challenge everything that Lizzy believes.The Portraits of Pemberley is Book 2 of the Austen University Mysteries series but can be read as a standalone novel. It combines plot points of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice with Sense and Sensibility (and characters from all of Austen's novels) in a modern-university setting, with mysteries.
