Militærlæge, dr. med., John H. Watson er vendt hjem til England fra den anden afghanske krig som rekonvalescent. Her bliver han introduceret for en vis mr. Sherlock Holmes, som søger en bofælle til et par værelser i Baker Street 221B. De to flytter snart ind, og Watson finder ud af, at den excentriske Holmes ernærer sig som verdens eneste "rådgivende detektiv".Watsons nysgerrighed er pirret, og da Holmes en dag beder ham ledsage sig på en sag, slår han til. Et uhyggeligt mysterium venter: I et forladt hus i en forstad til London ligger en mand død med ansigtet forvredet i en grimasse af rædsel og had... Det er en sag, der trækker spor tilbage i tiden til en tragedie langt fra de engelske kyster.Med Et studie i rødt (1887) præsenteredes læserne for, hvad der skulle blive kulturhistoriens måske mest berømte makkerpar, mesterdetektiven Sherlock Holmes og hans følgesvend og krønikeskriver Dr. Watson.Udgivelsen er en storskrift-udgave i 1 bind til svagsynede i serien MAGNUMBØGER Lindhardt og Ringhof.

En villavej i Virum. En nationalpark i Utah. En forsvinden. Hemmeligheder og trusler fra det ydre rum.Sara vågner til lyden af hoveddøren, der smækker. Hendes mand Michael er på vej til USA for at deltage i en konference om sorte huller. Aftenen inden har de skændtes. Nu er Sara alene tilbage med børnene Malte og Lærke på 17 og 10 år. Michael er astrofysiker og har holdt familien i et stramt greb baseret på videnskab, selvdisciplin og praktiske rutiner. I hans fravær begynder de varme, tørre julidage at blive mere og mere underlige – en svimmel fornemmelse af, at noget er lidt ved siden af, eller at noget er på vej. Malte fordyber sig i klaverspil og i sin fascination af naboens datter. Lærke tegner sorte huller med farvekridt. Imens mister Sara langsomt grebet om familiens velordnede hverdag, og da hun ikke kan få kontakt til Michael, bliver hun i tvivl, om han nogensinde er nået frem til konferencen. Sara begynder at undersøge Michaels gøren og laden i tiden op til afrejsen, og her kommer helt nye sider af hendes mand frem.Den sidste sol er en roman om den lille kernefamilie under det store kosmos, om det ganske nære og det allerfjerneste. Og om de dragende, destruktive kræfter, der kan styre begge dele.

This is a book for anyone, of any age, who cares about rivers.This story of the Columbia River is unique. Told from the river¿s perspective, it is an immersive, empathetic portrait of a once-wild river and of the Sinixt, a First People who lived on the mainstem of this great western river for thousands of years and continue to do so even though Canada declared them ¿extinct¿ in 1956.The book¿s re-release comes at a critical time for natural systems and for reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples across North America. The Colville Confederated Tribes, representing over 3,000 Sinixt People, recently won a precedent-setting case in the Supreme Court of Canada affirming that Aboriginal Rights do not stop at the border. The important story of the Sinixt weaves together with the ongoing ecological impact of hydropower development on the Columbia and its tributaries.Central to the story is the joyous spirit of salmon, once a free swimmer in the Columbiäs currents north of the border but now blocked from ancestral spawning grounds by Grand Coulee and other dams. Restoring migratory fish indigenous to the Upper Columbia will require transboundary cooperation. With Indigenous Nations on both sides of the US¿Canada border now leading the way, many are hopeful that the fish will return.Lavishly illustrated by Nelson, BC, designer Nichola Lytle, this portrait of a globally significant river will inspire anyone who reads it to care about the future of the salmon, a fish that unites all of us in its quest for freedom and possibility.

Published in 2008, Massacre at Mountain Meadows was a bombshell of a book, revealing the story of one of the worst moments in Latter-day Saint history, when settlers in southwestern Utah slaughtered more than 100 members of a California-bound wagon train in 1857. In this much-anticipated sequel, Richard E. Turley Jr. and Barbara Jones Brown examine the aftermath of this horrific event, tracing the stories of perpetrators and survivors alike, showing how southern Utah leaders worked to silence participants and witnesses in an attempted cover up, and answering the question of what role, if any, Brigham Young played in the cover-up.
