Delle donne sono state assassinate a nord di New York, i loro corpi trovati misteriosamente appesi e incatenati. Quando viene richiesto l’intervento dell’FBI, data la bizzarra natura degli omicidi—e la mancanza di indizi—c’è soltanto un’agente a cui ci si possa rivolgere: L’Agente Speciale Riley Paige.

Riley, ancora scioccata dal suo ultimo caso, è riluttante ad occuparsi di quest’ultimo, visto che è ancora convinta che un ex serial killer sia ancora a piede libero, perseguitandola. Ad ogni modo, lei sa che la sua capacità di penetrare nella mente di un serial killer e nella sua natura ossessiva è ciò che le occorrerà per risolvere questo caso, e proprio non può rifiutare—sebbene la spingerà al limite.

La ricerca di Riley la porta nel profondo della mente illusa dell’assassino, in quanto la condurrà in orfanotrofi, ospedali, prigioni, tutto pur di comprendere le origini della sua psicosi. Realizzando di trovarsi a che fare con un vero psicopatico, è consapevole che non passerà molto tempo prima che colpisca ancora. Ma con il suo stesso lavoro esposto e la sua stessa famiglia un bersaglio, e con la sua fragile psiche che rischia di crollare, potrebbe essere fin troppo per lei—e troppo tardi.

Giallo noir psicologico intriso di suspense mozzafiato, IL SUSSURRATORE DELLE CATENE è il libro #2 in una nuova serie affascinante—con un nuovo amato personaggio—che vi terrà attaccati alle pagine fino a tardi.

Il Libro #3 nella serie di Riley Paige sarà presto disponibile. 

“Un capolavoro del giallo e del mistero! L’autore ha svolto un magnifico lavoro, a sviluppare i personaggi con un approfondito lato psicologico, così ben descritto, che ci fa sentire all’interno della loro mente, provare le loro paure e gioire del loro successo. La trama è molto intelligente e vi intratterrà per tutta la durata del libro. Ricco di colpi di scena, questo libro vi terrà svegli fino all’ultima pagina.”

IL KILLER DELL’OROLOGIO è il libro #4 nella serie di bestseller dei misteri di Riley Paige, che comincia con IL KILLER DELLA ROSA, bestseller (Libro #1)! 

Delle donne vengono ritrovate morte sul ciglio solitario di un’autostrada nel Delaware. Alcune sono scomparse inspiegabilmente da molto tempo, mentre altre vengono ritrovate cadaveri, esposti in modi bizzarri e misteriosi. Quando viene scoperta una pista, diventa chiaro all’FBI, che un contorto serial killer è a piede libero—adescando ragazze, secondo subdoli schemi—e che non smetterà mai di uccidere. 

L’FBI, disperata di risolvere il caso, affida il compito di occuparsene all’Agente Speciale Riley Paige. Ma la brillante Riley, ancora riprendendosi dai casi precedenti, ha finalmente trovato la quiete nella sua vita domestica, ed è determinata ad aiutare la figlia April a tornare in piedi. Ma quando gli omicidi diventano troppo inquietanti, troppo urgenti—e quando l’ex partner, Bill, la implora—Riley finalmente realizza di non potersi tirare indietro.  

La caccia conduce la donna nelle profondità di un mondo oscuro formato da autostoppiste, girovaghe, donne di cui non importa a nessuno. Quando scopre che diverse donne sono tenute prigioniere, in vita, e che c’è ancora il tempo per salvarle, si rende conto che non si fermerà davanti a niente, ossessionata dal caso e spingendosi al limite. Tuttavia, Riley realizza che la sua stessa vita sta crollando, e che la sua fragile psiche può a malapena gestire la tensione. In una frenetica corsa contro il tempo, dovrà penetrare nella mente del killer per salvare quelle donne—e per impedire a se stessa—di crollare. 

Un cupo thriller psicologico, caratterizzato da una suspense mozzafiato, IL KILLER DELL’OROLOGIO è il libro #4 in un nuova serie affascinante—con un nuovo amato personaggio—che vi terrà incollati alle pagine fino a notte fonda. 

Il libro #5 nella serie di Riley Paige sarà presto disponibile.

KILLER PER CASO è il libro #5 nella serie di bestseller dei misteri di Riley Paige, che comincia con il KILER DELLA ROSA, bestseller (Libro #1)—un romanzo scaricabile gratuitamente, con oltre 600 recensioni da cinque stelle! 

Un’evasione da una prigione di massima sicurezza. Chiamate frenetiche dell’FBI. Il peggior incubo dell’Agente Speciale Riley Paige è divenuto realtà: un serial killer che ha catturare anni fa è a piede libero.

E il suo obiettivo principale è lei.

Riley è abituata a dare lei la caccia, ma per la prima volta, si ritrova—insieme alla sua famiglia—ad essere la preda della caccia. Mentre il killer la perseguita, al contempo, lascia dietro di sé una scia di morte, e Riley deve fermarlo prima che sia troppo tardi—per le altre vittime, e per se stessa.

Ma questo non è un killer ordinario. E’ fin troppo intelligente, e il loro gioco del gatto col topo troppo contorto, e in qualche modo, riesce ad eluderla e a stare sempre ad un passo avanti a lei. Disperata di fermarlo, Riley si rende conto che c’è un solo modo: deve immergersi nel passato, nella contorta mente del killer, nei suoi vecchi casi e riapprendere quale sia la sua causa scatenante. L’unico modo di fermarlo, lei si rende conto, è affrontare l’oscurità che pensava di essersi lasciata alle spalle.

Quando delle prostitute vengono trovate morte a Phoenix, non viene prestata molta attenzione. Ma scoperta una scia di omicidi inquietanti, la polizia locale presto realizza che c’è un serial killer a piede libero, ed è vicino. Data la natura peculiare dei crimini, l’FBI, di cui viene richiesto l’intervento, è consapevole di aver bisogno della mente più brillante per risolvere il caso: l’Agente Speciale Riley Paige.

Riley, che si sta riprendendo dal suo ultimo caso e sta provando a rimettere insieme i pezzi della sua vita, è inizialmente riluttante. Ma quando nota la natura seriale dei crimini e si rende conto che il killer presto colpirà di nuovo, si lascia convincere. Comincia la sua caccia al killer sfuggente, che porterà la donna molto lontano—forse davvero troppo, per tornare indietro.

La ricerca di Riley la condurrà nel mondo inquietante fatto di prostitute, famiglie divise e sogni infranti. Quando un’adolescente viene rapita, Riley, in una frenetica corsa contro il tempo, lotta per esplorare la mente del killer.

An urgent cry for help brings Hercule Poirot to France. But he arrives too late to save his client, whose brutally stabbed body now lies face down in a shallow grave on a golf course.

Take the guesswork (and fear) out of fasting with real-life and expert advice.

In recent years, intermittent fasting—restricting calorie intake for a set number of hours or days—has become an increasingly popular diet strategy. While some in the medical community initially dismissed the idea as a dangerous fad, recent research not only validates the safety of fasting for weight loss but also offers compelling evidence of wide-ranging health benefits, from reversal of diabetes and other metabolic disorders to enhanced cognitive function and increased longevity.

But for many who are eager to try out fasting, the regimen can feel a bit intimidating. After all, abstaining from food doesn’t sound like much fun. People rightly wonder: How often can I eat? Will I be able to focus at work? Will I have enough energy to exercise? And perhaps the most concerning question of all: Won’t I be hungry all the time?!

Enter Dr. Jason Fung—world-renowned fasting expert—his colleague, Megan Ramos, and Eve Mayer, who has experienced the life-changing benefits of fasting through Dr. Fung’s program. Together, they’ve teamed up to write a one-of-a-kind guide that answers the most common questions people have about fasting—and offers a customizable program that provides real results.

In Life in the Fasting Lane, Dr. Fung, Ramos, and Mayer take the reader by the hand and walk them through the basics of a fasting lifestyle—from the science behind fasting as a health and weight loss strategy to the real-life choices and dilemmas people commonly encounter. While Dr. Fung and Ramos explain the fundamentals of fasting and offer a customizable approach, Mayer shares her in-the-trenches perspective and hard-won knowledge as a success story who turned her life around with fasting.

With chapters that address everything from meal planning to mental strategies; exercise to socializing, Life in the Fasting Lane is a unique and accessible guide to developing a sustainable and beneficial fasting routine that offers dramatic, lifelong results.

A sweeping historical novel that spans Germany, England, and the United States and follows a young couple torn apart by circumstance leading up to World War II—and the family secret that may prove to be the means for survival.

Love brought them together. But only time can save them...

1931, Germany. Bookshop owner Max Beissinger meets Hanna Ginsberg, a budding concert violinist, and immediately he feels a powerful chemistry between them. It isn’t long before they fall in love and begin making plans for the future. As their love affair unfolds over the next five years, the climate drastically changes in Germany as Hitler comes to power. Their love is tested with the new landscape and the realities of war, not the least of which is that Hanna is Jewish and Max is not. But unbeknownst to Hanna is the fact that Max has a secret, which causes him to leave for months at a time—a secret that Max is convinced will help him save Hanna if Germany becomes too dangerous for her because of her religion. 

In 1946, Hanna Ginsberg awakens in a field outside of Berlin. Disoriented and afraid, she has no memory of the past ten years and no idea what has happened to Max. With no information as to Max’s whereabouts—or if he is even still alive—she decides to move to London to live with her sister while she gets her bearings. Even without an orchestra to play in, she throws herself completely into her music to keep alive her lifelong dream of becoming a concert violinist. But the music also serves as a balm to heal her deeply wounded heart and she eventually gets the opening she long hoped for. Even so, as the days, months, and years pass, taking her from London to Paris to Vienna to America, she continues to be haunted by her forgotten past, and the fate of the only man she has ever loved and cannot forget.

Told in alternating viewpoints—Max in the years leading up to WWII, and Hanna in the ten years after—In Another Time is a beautiful novel about love and survival, passion and music, across time and continents.

Questo programma completo composto da cinque routine, tramite l’uso del tapping e delle affermazioni, ti permetterà di vincere ansia e stress e ottenere il completo rilassamento del corpo e della mente, procurando così numerosi benefici a tutto il tuo sistema psico-fisico.

Seguendo questo programma porterai rilassamento, calma e armonia al corpo e alla mente, riuscirai ad alleggerire le tensioni e a vincere lo stress che tutti giorni viene accumulato.

Inoltre imparerai una tecnica di integrazione emisferica, in due varianti, per prepararti all’esecuzione del programma vero e proprio per vincere ansia e stress.

Il programma è costituito da cinque routine.

La prima routine è pensata per il mattino, per iniziare la giornata nello stato ottimale stimolando la tua energia e così riducendo la possibilità che lo stress possa intaccare la tua giornata.

La seconda routine ti permette di liberarti da credenze ed emozioni che generano ansia e stress.

La terza routine è una tecnica efficace per intervenire sugli attacchi di ansia durante la giornata, per limitare la possibilità di lasciarsi imbrigliare da pensieri ed emozioni negative.

La quinta routine favorisce uno stato di calma e pace prima di andare a dormire.

Immagina di avere la capacità di indirizzare o cambiare i pensieri delle persone... Riesci a immaginare il potere che questo ti darebbe? Ti piacerebbe avere questo potere e raggiungere tutti i tuoi obiettivi?

Che tu stia parlando con il tuo partner, i tuoi amici, scrivendo un'email di lavoro, vendendo un prodotto, un servizio, raccontando una storia o abbia semplicemente voglia di impressionare, motivare e influenzare gli altri fin dal primo momento, devi conoscere i metodi che usano i maestri della persuasione per cambiare i pensieri delle persone e farle agire.

Gli schemi che imparerai sono tratti da manuali di operazioni psicologiche, annotazioni di psicologi, manuali di vendita ed esperimenti. Questi strumenti possono essere così poderosi e potenti che possono fare molto danno o molto bene a chi si imbatte in essi, quindi usali in modo etico.

Questo libro non è progettato per scopi accademici, ma per essere messo in pratica nella vita reale. Questa seconda edizione è strutturata in tre parti. Nella prima parte apprenderai i concetti di base della programmazione neurolinguistica. Qui capirai come funziona la nostra mente e imparerai a padroneggiare potenti tecniche per indirizzare il tuo cervello e quello degli altri.

Nella seconda parte imparerai i principi della persuasione. Qui capirai perché gli schemi di linguaggio funzionano e avrai una struttura che sarà come una mappa che ti permetterà di sapere in ogni momento cosa dire e, cosa più importante, cosa non dire.

Infine, nella terza parte, imparerai schemi di linguaggio specifici. Vedremo schemi progettati per eliminare la resistenza, per focalizzare le persone su ciò che ti interessa e, in generale, imparerai ad indirizzare le persone nella direzione in cui vuoi che vadano.

It isn't other people that are standing in your way, it isn't even your circumstances that are blocking your ability to thrive, it's yourself and the negative self-talk you keep telling yourself.

Lead the life you were meant to have—Unfu*k Yourself.

In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.

For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.

There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

Turning the envelope over, his hand trembling, Harry saw a purple wax seal bearing a coat of arms; a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake surrounding a large letter 'H'.

Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!

"These guys are intense. And they bring that same fire to their narration in the audiobook. Listen to these insanely competent SEAL officers tell you exactly how to make a team successful through their firsthand experiences in business and combat." - The Hustle

An updated edition of the blockbuster bestselling leadership audiobook that took America and the world by storm, two U.S. Navy SEAL officers who led the most highly decorated special operations unit of the Iraq War demonstrate how to apply powerful leadership principles from the battlefield to business and life.

Combat, the most intense and dynamic environment imaginable, teaches the toughest leadership lessons, with absolutely everything at stake. Jocko Willink and Leif Babin learned this reality first-hand on the most violent and dangerous battlefield in Iraq. As leaders of SEAL Team Three’s Task Unit Bruiser, their mission was one many thought impossible: help U.S. forces secure Ramadi, a violent, insurgent-held city deemed “all but lost.” In gripping, firsthand accounts of heroism, tragic loss, and hard-won victories, they learned that leadership—at every level—is the most important factor in whether a team succeeds or fails.

Willink and Babin returned home from deployment and instituted SEAL leadership training to pass on their harsh lessons learned in combat to help forge the next generation of SEAL leaders. After leaving the SEAL Teams, they launched a company, Echelon Front, to teach those same leadership principles to leaders in businesses, companies, and organizations across the civilian sector. Since that time, they have trained countless leaders and worked with hundreds of companies in virtually every industry across the U.S. and internationally, teaching them how to develop their own high-performance teams and most effectively lead those teams to dominate their battlefields.

Since it’s release in October 2015, Extreme Ownership has revolutionized leadership development and set a new standard for literature on the subject. Required listening for many of the most successful organizations, it has become an integral part of the official leadership training programs for scores of business teams, military units, and first responders. Detailing the mindset and principles that enable SEAL units to accomplish the most difficult combat missions, Extreme Ownership demonstrates how to apply them to any team or organization, in any leadership environment. A compelling narrative with powerful instruction and direct application, Extreme Ownership challenges leaders everywhere to fulfill their ultimate purpose: lead and win.

A former international hostage negotiator for the FBI offers a new, field-tested approach to high-stakes negotiations—whether in the boardroom or at home.

After a stint policing the rough streets of Kansas City, Missouri, Chris Voss joined the FBI, where his career as a hostage negotiator brought him face-to-face with a range of criminals, including bank robbers and terrorists. Reaching the pinnacle of his profession, he became the FBI’s lead international kidnapping negotiator. Never Split the Difference takes you inside the world of high-stakes negotiations and into Voss’s head, revealing the skills that helped him and his colleagues succeed where it mattered most: saving lives. In this practical guide, he shares the nine effective principles—counterintuitive tactics and strategies—you too can use to become more persuasive in both your professional and personal life.

Life is a series of negotiations you should be prepared for: buying a car, negotiating a salary, buying a home, renegotiating rent, deliberating with your partner. Taking emotional intelligence and intuition to the next level, Never Split the Difference gives you the competitive edge in any discussion.

In Furiously Happy, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jenny Lawson explores her lifelong battle with mental illness. A hysterical, ridiculous book about crippling depression and anxiety? That sounds like a terrible idea.

But terrible ideas are what Jenny does best.

As Jenny says:

"Some people might think that being 'furiously happy' is just an excuse to be stupid and irresponsible and invite a herd of kangaroos over to your house without telling your husband first because you suspect he would say no since he's never particularly liked kangaroos. And that would be ridiculous because no one would invite a herd of kangaroos into their house. Two is the limit. I speak from personal experience. My husband says that none is the new limit. I say he should have been clearer about that before I rented all those kangaroos.

"Most of my favorite people are dangerously fucked-up but you'd never guess because we've learned to bare it so honestly that it becomes the new normal. Like John Hughes wrote in The Breakfast Club, 'We're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it.' Except go back and cross out the word 'hiding.'"

Furiously Happy is about "taking those moments when things are fine and making them amazing, because those moments are what make us who we are, and they're the same moments we take into battle with us when our brains declare war on our very existence. It's the difference between "surviving life" and "living life". It's the difference between "taking a shower" and "teaching your monkey butler how to shampoo your hair." It's the difference between being "sane" and being "furiously happy."

Lawson is beloved around the world for her inimitable humor and honesty, and in Furiously Happy, she is at her snort-inducing funniest. This is a book about embracing everything that makes us who we are - the beautiful and the flawed - and then using it to find joy in fantastic and outrageous ways. Because as Jenny's mom says, "Maybe 'crazy' isn't so bad after all." Sometimes crazy is just right.

A cutting satire of race relations in the age of Trump and Black Lives Matter from the hugely popular comedian—one of "The Original Kings of Comedy"—and author of the New York Times bestseller Black Man, White House.

"White people are always giving out ‘helpful’ advice, such as: ‘Comply with the police and you won’t get shot.’ They’ve been doling out advice to black people ever since ‘I suggest you pick the cotton if you don’t like getting whipped.’ Not getting shot by the police has long been a problem for black people. Even when we had a black president! Now that we have a new set of overlords, with President Trump at the head, wouldn’t it be nice to get a little advice on how not to get shot?"

From the elections of Barack Obama and Donald Trump to the tragic events of Ferguson and Charlottesville, the subject of race has come to the forefront of American consciousness. Legendary satirist D. L. Hughley offers his own cutting observations on this contentious issue that continues to traumatize the nation, a wound made more painful by the ongoing comments and actions of the 45th president.

Hughley uses humor to draw attention to injustice, sardonically offering advice on a number of lessons, from "How to make cops feel more comfortable while they’re handcuffing you" and "The right way to wear a hoodie" to "How to make white food, like lobster rolls" and "Ten types of white people you meet in the suburbs."

How Not to Get Shot is a much-needed antidote in these distressing times.

In the new novel in the #1 New York Times-bestselling series, Lt. Eve Dallas is about to walk into the shadows of her husband’s dangerous past...

While Eve examines a fresh body in Washington Square Park, her husband, Roarke, spots a man among the onlookers he’s known since his younger days on the streets of Dublin. A man who claims to be his half brother. A man who kills for a living—and who burns with hatred for him.

Eve is quick to suspect that the victim’s spouse—resentful over his wife’s affair and poised to inherit her fortune—would have happily paid an assassin to do his dirty work. Roarke is just as quick to warn her that if Lorcan Cobbe is the hitman, she needs to be careful. Law enforcement agencies worldwide have pursued this cold-hearted killer for years, to no avail. And his lazy smirk when he looked Roarke’s way indicates that he will target anyone who matters to Roarke...and is confident he’ll get away with it.

Eve is desperate to protect Roarke. Roarke is desperate to protect Eve. And together, they’re determined to find Cobbe before he finds them—even if it takes them across the Atlantic, far outside Eve’s usual jurisdiction...
