Baseret på en sand historie, om heltemod, der er vokset ud af desperation, om en mor, der blev soldat, og om en kvinde, der fandt sin plads i verden og ændrede historiens gang for altid. Ljudmila Pavlitjenko, en nørdet og pligtopfyldende historiestuderende fra Kyiv, er ikke i tvivl. Hun vil kæmpe – kæmpe for sit lands, sit livs og sin søns fremtid. Da Hitler invaderer Sovjetunionen, tager Milas liv en helt ny drejning. Hun tager kampen op og forvandles fra flittig studine til livsfarlig snigskytte. 309 drab senere og nationalhelt, bliver hun hjemkaldt fra fronten for at blive sendt på charmetur til Amerika som det gode eksempel. Krigen har sat sine spor, og hun føler sig isoleret og ensom, indtil et uventet venskab med USA’s førstedamen Eleanor Roosevelt og et endnu mere uventet venskab med en tavs ligemand tænder lidt lys i et mørkt liv. Men da en gammel fjende dukker frem fra fortiden, er det ikke kun egne dæmoner, Mila tvinges til at tage kampen op imod.

Romanens fortæller, Nielsen, møder romanens hovedperson, Rasmussen, da Rasmussen efter Abu Ghraib-skandalen er på vej til USA i et forsøg på at forbedre demokratiet i Guds eget land, kort tid inden præsidentvalget i 2004. Rasmussen instruerer ham i hans rolle som Nielsen, inden de med en metalkasse ved navn 'The Democracy' lander i JFK-lufthavnen i New York. I New York træder de direkte ind på kunstscenen og forfærdes over den såkaldte politiske kunst, som er forudsigelig og alt det modsatte af magtkritisk. De rejser videre til Washington for at indføre demokrati i selve magtens hjerte. Her forsøger de at komme i kontakt med folket, som indlysende burde spille en central rolle i et demokrati. Men forsøget på at få en dialog mellem Europa og Amerika mislykkes fatalt, og de to europæeres mission udvikler sig til en personlig tragedie. Nielsen følger Rasmussen i tykt og tyndt og gør, hvad han siger. Men efterhånden opdager han, at det hverken er demokratiet eller USA, han må beskrive. Det er Rasmussen selv. Hvad er det for en mand, der drives med større og større kraft imod magtens centrum - for næsten at tilintetgøres der? Nielsen skifter fokus og fortæller historien om det universelle menneske, som Rasmussen bestræber sig på at være. Et absolut væsen, der under ingen omstændigheder lader sig påvirke af virkelighedens banaliteter, det hverdagslige, det tilfældige, det, der pludselig trænger sig på fra den pinagtige private fortid. Men i selveste Pentagon City bliver Rasmussen indhentet af sin fortid, og Nielsen bliver trukket med ind og ned i en grusomt privat historie om forfald, almindelighed, provins og brunsviger. Rasmussen går under, men Nielsen vender tilbage til Rasmussens fortid - og opdager et skjult paradis. DEMOKRATIET I USA handler om det store begreb demokrati, men endnu mere om det lille, allestedsnærværende forhold mellem mennesker, det store menneske og det lille menneske.

David Lowry, the retired forensic scientist of the Sheriff's Office in Scottsdale and now the most sought after private forensic investigator in the country, is invited by an old colleague to join the investigation of a murder in West Virginia that copies exactly a scene in a famous movie called Night of the Hunter. He is joined by Rebecca Wise, senior special agent of the FBI, and together they discover that the current murder is only one of many dating back several years and taking place all over the country and all of them copies of scenes from famous films. Together, they join forces to find the killer. As they search for the killer, new murders take place, each increasingly more provocative, as if the murderer knows they are looking for him and is daring them to catch him.

A MYSTERIOUS LETTER IGNITES AN EXPLOSIVE CHAIN OF EVENTS FROM THE SOUTH CAROLINA LOWCOUNTRY TO THE OUTER BANKS.An execution-style murder next to the Port of Charleston triggers an intensive police investigation to find a killer. In an apparently unrelated incident a year later, three complete strangers each receive an anonymous letter offering a financial windfall with a detailed set of instructions...and an ominous threat for failing to comply. The strangers must travel alone from Charleston to Daufuskie Island off the coast of Hilton Head, South Carolina. Hoping to find answers, they instead become pawns in a clever and elaborate scheme planned by the ruthless boss of a Miami drug cartel. When Detective Steve Harris finally discovers the crucial link between the murder and the missing strangers, he launches a frantic race against time, the cartel, and a deadly hurricane, to find them before they disappear for good.

"In the sixty-four days between November 3 and January 6, President Donald Trump and his allies fought to reverse the outcome of the vote. Focusing on six states--Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin-- Trump's supporters claimed widespread voter fraud. It was not a well-orchestrated matter. There was no guiding genius pulling the strings in key states for the defeated Donald Trump. In the weeks after the election, in counties and precincts all over the country, many local Republican officials and even Trump's own campaign workers washed their hands of his increasingly unhinged allegations of fraud. But there was no shortage of people willing to take up the fight. Urged on by Trump and his coterie of advocates, lawyers, and media propagandists, true believers turned on their colleagues, friends, and neighbors-- even those in their own party--to accuse them of rigging the election. The real story of the insurrection began months before Trump's mob attacked the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. That riot was the desperate final act, emblematic of the clumsy, failed movement Trump had been building for years. It began in cities and small towns all over America on election day, November 3, 2020. Working with a team of researchers and reporters, Bowden and Teague uncover never-before-told accounts from the election officials fighting to do their jobs amid outlandish claims and threats to themselves, their colleagues, and their families. The Steal is an engaging, in-depth report on what happened during those crucial nine weeks and a portrait of the heroic individuals who did their duty and stood firm against the unprecedented, sustained attack on our election system to ensure that every legal vote was counted and the will of the people prevailed."--Provided by publisher.

"Five years after the Civil War, North Carolina Republican state senator John W. Stephens was found murdered inside the Caswell County Courthouse. Stephens fought for the rights of freedpeople, and his killing by the Ku Klux Klan ultimately led to insurrection, Governor William W. Holden's impeachment, and the early unwinding of Reconstruction in North Carolina. In recounting Stephens's murder, the subsequent investigation and court proceedings, and the long-delayed confessions that revealed what actually happened at the courthouse in 1870, Drew A. Swanson tells a story of race, politics, and social power shaped by violence and profit. The struggle for dominance in Reconstruction-era rural North Carolina, Swanson argues, was an economic and ecological transformation. Arson, beating, and murder became tools to control people and landscapes, and the ramifications of this violence continued long afterward. The failure to prosecute anyone for decades after John Stephens's assassination left behind a vacuum, as each side shaped its own memory of Stephens and his murder. The malleability of and contested storytelling around Stephens's legacy presents a window into the struggle to control the future of the South"--

When Heaven and Earth Collide is an investigation into what went wrong in the American South in regard to race and religion-and how things can be and are being made right. Why, in a land filled with Christian churches, was there such racial oppression and division? Why didn't white evangelicals do more to bring racial reconciliation to the South during the 19th and 20th centuries? These questions are asked and answered through an exploration of history, politics, economics, philosophy, and social and theological studies that uncovers the hidden impetus behind racism and demonstrates how we can still make many of the same errors today-just perhaps in different ways. The investigation finally leads us in hopeful directions involving how to live out the better way of Jesus with an eye on heaven in a world still burdened and broken under the sins of the past.
