"One part mystery, one part mysticism, and one part mayhem—Scott Graham's Yellowstone Standoff is all parts thrilling."—CRAIG JOHNSON, author of the Longmire Mysteries Yellowstone Standoff takes readers deep into the backcountry of a wildly popular national park. When Yellowstone National Park's grizzly bears and gray wolves suddenly and inexplicably go rogue, archaeologist Chuck Bender teams with his old friend, Yellowstone Chief Ranger Lex Hancock, to defend the suspect members of a group scientific expedition. Soon, Chuck finds himself defending the lives of his family as an unforeseen danger threatens in the storied national park's remote wilderness. SCOTT GRAHAM is the author of the acclaimed National Park Mystery series, featuring archaeologist Chuck Bender and Chuck's spouse Janelle Ortega. In addition to the National Park Mystery series, Scott is the author of five nonfiction books, including Extreme Kids , winner of the National Outdoor Book Award. Like most visitors to America's first national park, Graham was awestruck by Yellowstone as a child. His fascination with the park has continued in the years since, with numerous visits to Yellowstone's geyser– and wildlife–filled front country and its incomparable wilderness. Graham is an avid outdoorsman and amateur archaeologist who enjoys mountaineering, skiing, hunting, rock climbing, and whitewater rafting with his wife, who is an emergency physician, and their two sons. He lives in Durango, Colorado.

'Simon Brett writes stunning detective stories' JILLY COOPER
'King of the witty village mystery' Telegraph
Grant and Kim Roxby had hoped that their first dinner party at Pelling House would make an impression with their new neighbours. And the next day it’s certainly the talk of the village in Fethering. For their guests – including the couple’s old friend Jude – had been enjoying a pleasant meal when they were rudely interrupted by a gruesome discovery. A human torso hidden in the cellar.
Carole and Jude turn amateur sleuths once again. They begin to question the locals, but they can’t help wondering why a town notoriously distrustful of outsiders is proving so terribly amenable to their enquiries . . .

'King of the witty village mystery' Telegraph
Fethering resident Jude soon regrets helping out at an event at the Hopwicke Country House Hotel. The all-male society, The Pillars of Sussex, are visiting and keep Jude up until the small hours when the last of the rowdy men goes to bed.
When one guest doesn’t show up for breakfast the next morning, Jude presumes he’s feeling the effects of the night before and searches him out. Only to discover his body hanging from the beams of a four-poster bed. Unconvinced that this was suicide, Jude enlists the support of fellow amateur sleuth Carole to crack the case.

It wasn’t the rain that upset Fethering resident Carole Seddon during her walk on the Downs, or the dilapidated barn in which she was forced to seek shelter. No, what upset her was the human skeleton she discovered there, neatly packed into two blue fertiliser bags . . .
Amateur sleuths Carole and Jude go to the small hamlet of Weldisham where gossips quickly identify the corpse as Tamsin Lutteridge, a young woman who disappeared from the village months before. But why is Tamsin’s mother so certain that her daughter is still alive? As Jude sets out to discover what really happened to Tamsin, Carole digs deeper into Weldisham’s history and the bitter relationships simmering beneath the village’s gentle facade.

Fethering has everything a sleepy coastal town should: snug English pubs, cosy cottages, a little local library – and the occasional murder . . .
Bestselling author Burton St Clair, complete with soaring ego and wandering hands, has come to town to give a talk. But after his corpse is found slumped in his car, he won’t be leaving. Jude is the prime suspect; she was, after all, the last person to see Burton St Clair alive. If she is to prove her innocence, she will have to dust off her detective skills and recruit her prim and proper neighbour (and partner-in-sleuthing) Carole to find the real culprit.

Будущее…. Где бы найти хоть маленькую щелочку, хоть на секунду заглянуть туда? А вдруг это будущее уже наступило? Талантливый ученый поставил перед собой почти невыполнимую задачу – заставить организм человека питаться энергией солнца. Эта идея так увлекла его, что он даже решился поставить эксперимент на себе. И он, и его отец пожертвовали своими жизнями, но только его величество случай и цепочка необъяснимых событий привели к успеху. Против людей новой эпохи ополчился весь мир. Им почти не надо пищи, денег, они равнодушны ко всем ценностям. Их организм способен на большее, жизнь новых людей яркая и необычная. Рассказ этот не только о них, но и о нас.

Естественное желание человека стать счастливее кормит тысячи желающих продать ему нужные, часто в кавычках, знания. Бесконечное количество мотивационных курсов подобно огромного размера сладкой, липкой паутине, в которую легко попасть, и в которой легко пропасть. Процесс честного отъёма денег работает бесперебойно, но результат в большинстве случаев плачевен. Не обманывайтесь уловками ушлых маркетологов, ваше счастье рядом с вами. Сравните жизнь героев этого романа со своей, спросите себя: так ли уж я несчастлив? И помните, счастье совсем не в количестве денег.
