Een bijzonder meeslepend verhaal waarvan je vanaf het eerste hoofdstuk volledig in de ban raakt.” – Recensie Midwest Book, Diane Donovan (over Once Gone) Een nieuwe psychologische thriller van de hand van beststeller auteur #1 Blake Pierce. Avery Black, moorddetective, is door de hel gegaan. Ooit was ze een top strafpleitster, maar raakte uit de gratie toen ze een briljante Harvard professor ten onrechte vrijpleitte. Toen hij weer moordde, kon Avery enkel schaamtevol toekijken. Ze verloor haar man en dochter en haar leven viel in een klap in duigen. Langzaam tracht Avery er terug bovenop te komen, dit keer echter aan de andere kant van de balie. Ze werkt zich weer op en wordt moorddetective, tot grote minachting van haar collega’s, die zich nog steeds herinneren wat destijds is gebeurd en dit haar nog steeds niet hebben vergeven. Wanneer Boston opgeschrikt wordt door een seriemoordenaar die het heeft gemunt op meisjes van elitescholen, moeten zij echter toegeven dat Avery over briljante gaven beschikt en roepen zij haar hulp in. Dit is Avery’s ultieme kans om zichzelf te bewijzen en zo haar schuld uit het verleden af te lossen. Avery zal echter al snel ondervinden dat zij het moet opnemen tegen een moordenaar die even slim is als zij. In dit psychologische kat en muis spel, slaat de moordenaar ongenadeloos en op mysterieuze wijze toe. In een spannende race tegen de klok krijgt Avery te kampen met een aantal schokkende en onverwachte wendingen die uiteindelijk naar een verrassende climax zullen leiden die zelfs Avery zich niet had kunnen voorstellen. Deze bloedstollende, duistere psychologische thriller, met een bijzonder populaire Avery in de hoofdrol, zal je tot laat in de nacht wakker houden. Het is de eerste thriller in een nieuwe reeks spannende moordmysteries. Boek #2 uit de serie Avery Black zal weldra verschijnen. “Een meesterwerk in het thriller en mysterie genre. Pierce heeft met duidelijk psychologisch inzicht levensechte karakters ontworpen. De lezer kruipt meteen in de huid van de personages en leeft op bijzonder realistische wijze mee met de gebeurtenissen en met de ontwikkelingen die zij doormaken. Een bijzonder spannende verhaallijn en onverwachte wendingen zorgen ervoor dat het boek je tot in de vroege uurtjes wakker zal houden.” –Recensies Boeken en Films, Roberto Mattos (over Once Gone).

Matt Goss recounts his unbelievable life story in emotional detail. From financially deprived but emotionally rich beginnings, Matt sees his fortunes literally turned upside-down, with all the fame, glamour and money he could hope for violently snatched away from him.Matt Goss has been a staple part of British tabloid life for years – yet, the general public has had no idea of the astounding life that he has led – and still lives – behind the headlines and sound-bites. Here, for the first time, he takes them into his confidence and reveals the true extent of his own astounding tale.Matt was brought up in a proudly close but financially frustrated south London family with twin brother Luke and his mother. Fortunes changed rapidly for Matt when, alongside his brother Luke and school friend Craig, he created Bros – a band that sold sixteen million records in an intensely chaotic and record-breaking reign over the world's pop charts. By the end of his teens, Matt could boast eleven Top 40 hits, number ones in nineteen countries, a Brit Award and the record for being the youngest band to headline Wembley Stadium.Bros became a by-word for mercurial celebrity extravagance, hysterical fan stories, financial scandal, personal tragedy, tortuous upset and glorious triumph. Yet after those bizarre and insane times, Matt's life became even more tempestuous, crammed with inner fear, personal revelation and unforeseen challenges.He is now back with a vengeance after spells on TV's Hell's Kitchen, finding a new audience through his acclaimed solo music career, which has already included chart-topping soundtracks and further Top 40 hits, plus his appearance in 2013’s Strictly Come Dancing Christmas contest.Here he finally tells the true story of his life, revealing a litany of private torment, personal revelations and celebrity anecdotes.This is the account of a man who can truly say that he has experienced the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, to have held the world in his hand and seen it snatched away from him in the blink of an eye, yet has the strength of character and personal insight to continue to claim to be 'truly blessed'.

The dual biography of the great British comedy double-act and the rise and fall of mass audience television by the respected biographer of Cary Grant .Following the success of Cary Grant – A Class Apart, Graham McCann has now created an intricate portrait of Eric Morcambe and Ernie Wise, possibly the most famous Bristish comedy double-act of all time. This book charts the progress of the duo from a conventional working class music hall act to a mass-audience television team to a national institution. From northern working men’s clubs at the beginning of their career to the 1977 Christmas special that had an audience of 28 million, Morecambe and Wise were a double act continually changing the dynamics of their relationship to reflect their influences and their times. Their shows were like nostalgic reflections on a century of popular entertainment, an entertainment that was inclusive to a wide audience and paid homage to the past.McCann’s study is also an investigation in the background of mass audience entertainment from which Morecambe and Wise rose. Morecambe & Wise is the definitive biography of one of the most-loved double acts as well as a history of their times.
