Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - New Orleans private investigator Solomon Peters finds a mysterious envelope when he arrives at his French Quarter office on the Friday before Labor Day. Inside are a handwritten note and five one-hundred-dollar bills, offered as a retainer for simply agreeing to talk with the sender later that afternoon--no strings attached. Solomon accepts the retainer and meets with the author of the note, an elderly gentleman named Robert Poirier. The tasking seems simple enough: deliver a letter to a designated individual at a location in the New Orleans French Market the next night. And the fee in return is a mouthwatering $25,000. Easy job. Easy money. What could possibly go wrong.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Previously published as The Healthy Italian Chef: My Journey to Well-Being by Cristian Marino. The Healthy Italian Chef is a personal memoir about work, pressure, the body, and the slow discovery that strength is not always measured by how much we can endure.Cristian Marino spent much of his life inside professional kitchens, hotels, ships, resorts, and countries far from home. From Calabria to Stresa, from Europe to Asia and the Maldives, his career as a chef was built through movement, discipline, responsibility, and long years of adaptation.For a long time, endurance seemed like balance. As long as the body responded, as long as work continued, and as long as each new challenge could be faced, everything appeared to hold together.Then, in March 2020, at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, an unexpected detention forced a deeper confrontation with fragility, fear, and the body's silent messages.This book follows the journey before and after that fracture: the early years of training, the pressure of kitchens, the normalization of fatigue, the turning point in Bucharest, and the gradual return to a more honest relationship with food, sleep, work, and well-being.Written with reflection and clarity, The Healthy Italian Chef is not a diet book, a wellness method, or a collection of recipes. It is the story of a chef learning that the body cannot remain only an instrument of work.

With the Agency closing in, Dolly calls in help from old friends, some closer than others, and the team gets Will to Bristol's hotel in Morocco. Once they arrive, Bristol switches to party mode, leaving Bits and Dolly to prepare their defenses without disturbing any of the guests. The hotel has a small security team, with little enough experience that it just makes Dolly more worried, not less. When disaster finally strikes, it's almost a relief; she isn't waiting and wondering anymore, she can simply react. But will her reaction be enough to save the team, and herself.

Neuware - He flew to Ukraine to collect a dead man's money - and instead found a sealed door that hadn't been opened in a thousand years.The air in the catacombs doesn't move. Candle flames stand perfectly still. Somewhere beneath the Kiev-Pechersk Monastery, behind walls older than memory, something has been waiting. Silently. Patiently. For exactly this kind of man.Tony is a Chicago engineer who measures everything in dollars. His estranged grandfather's death should have been simple: fly to Ukraine, collect a handful of earth, place it on the old man's grave, claim a few million dollars. Clean. Efficient. Done. But a crumbling map found in a monastery archive changes everything. It points to the untouched tomb of Saint Antony - sealed for ten centuries. Tony doesn't see a sacred site. He sees a vault.He allies with brutal local businessmen who operate outside every law. His only obstacle is Vera - a monastery guide with ancient eyes and a warning he refuses to hear: the tomb was sealed not to protect the treasure inside, but to contain what guards it.- The Bargain: The mobsters need Tony to breach the catacombs. Tony needs their money and muscle. Neither trusts the other with their life - which means both of them are already expendable.- The Warning: Vera knows what lies inside. She has read the ancient manuscripts. Every person who came before Tony with greed in their hands left the catacombs - but not as themselves.- The Test: Tony believes he is hunting for gold buried in the dark. The monastery has already decided what it is hunting for - and it found him the moment he walked through its gates.A thousand years of silence is about to end. What Tony discovers in that tomb will cost him everything he thought he was - and the only question left is whether any of it was worth the price of his soul.The door is already open. Will you follow him in Descend the dark.

I am not sure of anti-Zionism, but if I were Israeli, I wouldn't have tried to expand my territory against Palestinians. Technically, the land of current Israel doesn't have much commercial values - no oil, agriculture or water resources. I would try to keep some lands near Tel Aviv, which is over 10 times bigger than Hong Kong or Singapore, and try to build a new city like Dubai there. I wouldn't have fought over useless lands with poor Palestinians; I would rather let them keep most of it as I need what I need. The fact that we don't think practically can be a reason to be poor. Land used to have 'absolute values' in agricultural societies, but that's an old concept, not applicable any more. Also, I wouldn't stick to Jerusalem itself necessarily, only because my ancestors lived there once. The point is to obtain new land to settle safely. 90% of Australia or Canada are virtually empty now. I like to think what would Moses do if he leads now - by the time he led the Exodus of the Israelites out of Egypt, North America was not even discovered yet.'.

It is also the site of a huge unmarked grave, which no one can explain. In 1973 while building a new primary school, 5630 unmarked coffins were found, stacked 16 deep in places, which means that they were buried in one act. Who were the deceased and how did they die In the 1600s a woman accused of being a witch was tortured to death just yards away. Strange happenings and violent murders have been recorded there for centuries and paranormal investigators are frequent visitors. I was given the opportunity to research some books on the occult, which mention the area and I jumped at the chance. I should have known, it was a trap. This is the story of what I found.
