Hardback. Condizione: Good. Aud Torvingen returns--against her better instincts--scarred, heartbroken, changed, but tougher and rougher than ever. Stay in the world, she had said, and this was the world I had made.Seven months after the tragic events that unfold in The Blue Place, Aud is rebuilding a log cabin in the middle of the Appalachians. She wants nothing to do with the world. She is waiting for nature to heal her. The last thing she wants is another case. But then Dornan, her only real friend, tracks her down. He needs her to find his runaway fianc e. Aud feels obliged to help, and finds herself up against both a sociopath so artful that the law can't touch him--and against her own demons, the specters of loss and guilt. Aud, of course, wins--she always wins--but the price is a new understanding of herself, the renunciation of her wilderness redoubt, a return to Atlanta. Nicola Griffith's Stay is a ferocious masterpiece of literary noir, and in its pages Aud fuses her steely moral authority with a new, ever-evolving, tortured complexity. She emerges as a full-fledged classic noir hero (The New York Times Book Review)--as indomitable as Jack Reacher, sexier than La Femme Nikita, but wrecked and befuddlingly human.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. From cult phenomenon to award-winning literary sensation, the sexiest action figure since James Bond (Seattle Weekly) returns in an exhilarating new thriller. It doesn't matter how well trained you are, how big, how fast, how strong; there will always be someone out there bigger or faster or stronger. Always. That's what Aud Torvingen teaches the students in her self-defense class. But the question is whether Aud really believes this lesson herself-and if not, what it will take for her to learn it. Aud has trained herself to achieve a fierce, machine-like precision, in hand-to-hand combat as well as life. But in Always she is abruptly confronted with the limits of her own power. Her self-defense classes spin violently out of her grasp and, still reeling from the consequences, she embarks on a seemingly simple investigation of Seattle real estate fraud that pulls her into something far more complicated and dangerous than she had imagined.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. She awoke in an alley to the splash of rain. She was naked, a foot-long gash in her back was still bleeding, and her identity implant was gone. Lore Van Oesterling had been the daughter of one of the world's most powerful families.and now she was nobody, and she had to hide. Then out of the rain walked Spanner, predator and thief, who took her in, cared for her wound, and taught her how to reinvent herself again and again. No one could find Lore now: not the police, not her family, and not the kidnappers who had left her in that alley to die. She had escaped.but the cost of her newfound freedom was crime and deception, and she paid it over and over again, until she had become someone she loathed. Lore had a choice: She could stay in the shadows, stay with Spanner.and risk losing herself forever. Or she could leave Spanner and find herself again by becoming someone else: stealing the identity implant of a dead woman, taking over her life, and creating a new future. But to start again, Lore required Spanner's talents--Spanner, who needed her and hated her, and who always had a price. And even as Lore agreed to play Spanner's game one final time, she found that there was still the price of being a Van Oesterling to be paid. Only by confronting her family, her past, and her own demons could Lore meld together who she had once been, who she had become, and the person she intended to be.…
