Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - He arrived at her mother's funeral with a glass of cold water and a quiet voice. He didn't say she was in a better place. He didn't touch her arm. He just stood there, present and patient, while Clover Nash tried to survive the worst day of her life.Clover is a thirty-four-year-old true crime podcast editor in Richmond, Virginia. Her mother, Helen, died of a sudden pulmonary embolism - alone, on the kitchen floor, while Clover was across town not returning her calls. The guilt is unbearable. The grief is worse. And the man who appears at the funeral reception - Asa Crane, quiet, angular, devastatingly attentive - feels like the only person in the world who understands what she's going through.Within weeks, Asa has replicated her mother's chamomile tea recipe. He quotes phrases from Helen's private art blog. He moves into the house where Clover found the body. He replaces the smoke detector batteries. He cooks Helen's recipes in Helen's apron. He says 'I'm here' like it's a vow. And Clover - shattered, desperate, drowning in a silence that has a physical weight - believes him.Then the cracks begin.His name isn't in the funeral guest book. The mutual friend who supposedly sent him doesn't exist. Her cousin warns her. Her best friend Jude, a bartender with razor-sharp instincts, tells her that no one is this perfectly calibrated without practice. Clover starts digging - and discovers a folder on Asa's laptop labeled with a woman's name. Inside: nine obituaries spanning two years. All sudden deaths. All women. All survived by a daughter.Asa Crane has been attending strangers' funerals for over a decade, targeting grieving daughters, building relationships engineered from surveillance and research, and disappearing when his targets begin to heal. One previous target filed a restraining order. Another fled the state. A third - a young woman in Charlottesville - fell down her basement stairs and never got up. The police ruled it accidental. Her family doesn't believe it.As Clover traces the pattern back to its origin, she uncovers a truth more devastating than betrayal: the night Asa's own mother died of a pulmonary embolism, he was home. Upstairs. Headphones on. He heard a sound from the kitchen. He didn't go downstairs. She died alone - the same way Helen died. And every woman Asa has found since, every funeral he has attended, every glass of water and cup of tea and whispered 'I'm here' - all of it has been a single, compulsive act of reenactment. He isn't saving them. He's trying to go back. And he can't stop.He Found Me at the Funeral is a searing psychological thriller about the violence that hides inside tenderness, the predators who arrive disguised as miracles, and the terrifying distance between being rescued and being consumed. For readers of Verity, The Silent Patient, and Behind Closed Doors.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - On a black bridge over the Chattahoochee River, a surveillance officer hears a splash he cannot yet explain. Within minutes, a white station wagon crosses the water - and a case that has haunted Atlanta for nearly two years begins, at last, to break open.Between 1979 and 1981, the murders of nearly thirty Black children and young adults convulsed a city that had built its identity on racial progress. The Fiber and the River traces the full arc of the Atlanta Child Murders: the grassroots mothers' movement that forced a reluctant police department to act, the FBI profilers who began building a portrait before any suspect had a name, and the extraordinary forensic breakthrough - a single carpet fiber, traced through a manufacturing chain to one bedroom, with odds calculated at one in thirty million - that convicted Wayne Bertram Williams of two murders and closed twenty-two more without a single additional trial.Drawing on trial transcripts, GBI wiretap evidence, and the published doubts of the FBI's own profilers, this is a rigorously researched account that credits the science fully while refusing to look away from what it didn't settle. Families are still waiting. A river is still keeping secrets. The verdict, four decades on, has never stopped being argued.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - His life. Or the man beside him. Sergeant Ron Wade had seven seconds to choose.On the night of 16 January 1941, twenty-three-year-old Ron was about to jump from a burning Whitley bomber over the Dutch coast. Then he saw his navigator coming up the fuselage, parachute and harness in his hands, unable to put them on. The aircraft was on fire. The silk was on fire. The North Sea was below.Ron turned back. He zipped the navigator's harness shut, pushed him out, and jumped after him. He was the last man out of Z6462.Of the 125,000 men who flew with RAF Bomber Command in the Second World War, 55,573 were killed. 9,838 were taken prisoner. Ron was one of the 9,838. And what came next was harder than the falling aircraft.Last Man Out is the true story of the four and a half years that followed: four German prison camps, the camp the world would later know from The Great Escape, a 500 km forced winter march that killed men by the hundred, a homecoming that was harder than the wire, and a postwar Air Ministry that quietly stripped him of the rank he had earned behind it.Inside Last Man Out you will discover: - The seven-second decision that defined a life, and the navigator who lived because of it.- Stalag Luft III, the camp Hollywood made famous, where Ron helped dig the first tunnels.- The Long March of 1945: 500 kilometres on foot in the bitter winter, with dysentery, raw horsemeat, and SS troops shooting stragglers from behind.- The rescue Ron never talked about: how he organised the rota that carried failing men to safety, and the 25 to 40 prisoners who walked home because of him.- 15 April 1945, Ron's birthday, when RAF Typhoons mistook his column for retreating Germans. A man he had been carrying for a week was cut in two beside him. British tanks were 25 kilometres away, rolling into Bergen-Belsen. Ron didn't know.- The rank they took back: how the Air Ministry, after Ron came home with a fractured skull, quietly demoted him from Warrant Officer.- The Caterpillar Club brooch, the one decoration nobody could take from him. He was cremated wearing it in 2016.Told in Ron's own plain, unflinching voice. Drawn from his last recorded interview, given in his ninety-ninth year, and from a spiral-bound notebook his wife Amy kept for their grandchildren.This is the story of a Master Grocer's son from the Potteries who flew, fell, walked, and came back. A man who, at the two worst moments of his war, turned back for people who could not walk out alone.For readers of Make It Do by Ken Cam, First Light by Geoffrey Wellum, The Forgotten Highlander by Alistair Urquhart, Tail-End Charlies by John Nichol and Tony Rennell, and Bomber Command by Max Hastings. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - There is a hidden place between childhood and adulthood.It is not a destination on a map, nor a memory that can be perfectly preserved. It exists quietly in the spaces between houses, beneath old trees, beside forgotten wells, and inside moments we once dismissed as imagination.This book was born from a simple question: What if the world was always alive, and children were simply the first to notice The stories in this collection do not attempt to explain magic. They do not ask readers to believe in extraordinary creatures or impossible worlds. Instead, they invite readers to rediscover something much smaller and perhaps far more powerful: the possibility that wonder has always existed in ordinary life.These stories unfold in villages, fields, gardens, rivers, classrooms, and quiet neighborhoods. They explore moments that are easy to overlook-a moving swing, a whispering fence, a hidden path revealed by rain.Whether these moments are real, imagined, or something in between is left for each reader to decide.The goal of this book is not to provide answers.It is to help readers remember.Because somewhere between growing up and growing older, many of us stopped listening.This collection is an invitation to listen again.…
