Quando il corpo di una giovane donna, colpito da numerose coltellate, viene rinvenuto in un isolato cimitero di Londra, Lynley e la sua squadra sono chiamati a intervenire. Ma questo non è un caso come gli altri: li condurrà infatti dalle cupe periferie londinesi allo Hampshire, una zona dell'Inghilterra sconosciuta ai più, un luogo bello e al tempo stesso inquietante, dove gli animali vagano liberi per le strade, i tetti sono ancora di paglia e gli estranei non sono i benvenuti. Una zona che nasconde segreti tragici, crudeli, efferati. Cosa ha portato la vittima dalla serenità apparente dello Hampshire alla caleidoscopica confusione di Londra, e chi poteva volere la sua morte? Sono troppi, e spesso misteriosi, i personaggi che si muovevano nella sua orbita: una pittoresca sensitiva, un violinista visionario che sente le voci degli angeli, un artista di strada che colleziona amanti; oltre a un ex fidanzato dal passato oscuro... Un puzzle intricato e sconvolgente, strutturato per condurre il lettore fino alla fine del romanzo con il fiato in gola.

New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth George is back with a spellbinding tale of mystery and murder featuring Scotland Yard Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley.

On compassionate leave after the murder of his wife, Thomas Lynley is called back to Scotland Yard when the body of a woman is found stabbed and abandoned in an isolated London cemetery. His former team doesn't trust the leadership of their new department chief, Isabelle Ardery, whose management style seems to rub everyone the wrong way. In fact, Lynley may be the sole person who can see beneath his superior officer's hard-as-nails exterior to a hidden—and possibly attractive—vulnerability.

While Lynley works in London, his former colleagues Barbara Havers and Winston Nkata follow the murder trail south to the New Forest. There they discover a beautiful and strange place where animals roam free, the long-lost art of thatching is very much alive, and outsiders are not entirely welcome. What they don't know is that more than one dark secret lurks among the trees, and that their investigation will lead them to an outcome that is both tragic and shocking.

A multilayered jigsaw puzzle of a story skillfully structured to keep readers guessing until the very end, This Body of Death is a magnificent achievement from a writer at the peak of her powers.

These essays on a range of topics in the cognitive neurosciences report on the progress in the field over the twenty years of its existence and reflect the many groundbreaking scientific contributions and enduring influence of Michael Gazzaniga, "the godfather of cognitive neuroscience"—founder of the Cognitive Neuroscience Society, founding editor of the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, and editor of the major reference work, The Cognitive Neurosciences, now in its fourth edition (MIT Press, 2009). The essays, grouped into four sections named after four of Gazzaniga's books, combine science and memoir in varying proportions, and offer an authoritative survey of research in cognitive neuroscience.

"The Bisected Brain" examines hemispheric topics pioneered by Gazzaniga at the start of his career; "The Integrated Mind" explores the theme of integration by domination; the wide-ranging essays in "The Social Brain" address subjects from genes to neurons to social conversations and networks; the topics explored in "Mind Matters" include evolutionary biology, methodology, and ethics.

In uno sperduto villaggio del Lancashire muore avvelenato, dopo una cena in casa di una conoscente, il parroco Robin Sage. Di lì a poco arrivano in paese, per una vacanza fuori stagione, il patologo Simon St. James e la moglie Deborah, che aveva casualmente conosciuto il sacerdote a Londra. La scoperta della disgrazia li trascina tra le ombre più cupe di quei luoghi, sui quali aleggiano ancora antiche storie di stregoneria. L'inchiesta del coroner si è già conclusa con il verdetto di morte accidentale, ma Simon non ne è convinto, e decide di convocare il suo amico, l'ispettore Lynley, presto raggiunto dal sergente Barbara Havers. I quattro vengono così sommersi da una realtà in cui tutto è continuamente messo in dubbio. Com'è possibile che un'esperta erborista abbia inconsapevolmente offerto della cicuta al parroco? Nei panni di una mite perpetua si nasconde davvero una devota seguace dei culti pagani della Dea? È possibile leggere il destino di un uomo nel palmo della sua mano? In un clima di sospetti e pettegolezzi che rendono indecifrabili i volti del crimine, l'ispettore Lynley è costretto ad affondare sempre di più la lama delle indagini per riuscire a portare alla luce la verità. Una verità dal sapore amaro e crudele.

Tackling the growing problem of anxiety, the author draws on the Bible and personal experience to help readers trust in God to keep worries and fears in check.

Intrigued by the involvement of her London neighbor—Taymullah Azhar—in what appears to be a growing racial conflagration, Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers arranges to have herself assigned to the investigation. Setting out on her own, this is one case Havers will have to solve without her longtime partner, Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley—and it's one of the toughest she's ever encountered. For Havers must probe not only the mind of a murderer and her emotional response to a case unsettlingly close to her own heart, but also the terrible price people pay for deceiving others . . . and themselves.

For the unfortunate Nicola Maiden was the daughter of a former officer in an elite undercover unit, a man Lynley once regarded as a mentor. Now, as Lynley struggles to find out if Nicola's killer was an enemy of her father's or one she earned herself, Barbara Havers, his longtime partner, crisscrosses London seeking information on the second victim. Yet the more dark secrets Lynley and Havers uncover, the more they learn that neither the victims nor the suspects are who they appear to be…that human relationships are often murderous…and that the blood that binds can also kill.

Together, they must untangle the dark secrets and darker passions of a family whose history conceals the truth behind a horrific crime.

Forced as a child to flee the Nazis in Paris, Brouard was engaged in his latest project when he died: a museum honoring those who resisted the German occupation of the island during World War II.

And behind all the lies and alibis, a killer is lurking.
