A young woman has been killed on a running trail, and a pendant depicting an Aztec god has been found in her possession. Another murder soon follows. All signs point to a serial killer. But can Anna catch the Hummingbird before he - or she - strikes again? Translated from the Finnish by David Hackston

How to Enjoy Poetry - Frank Skinner - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

''Someone recently said to me, in reference to my poetry podcast, that you''d think poetry would be more popular than ever, in the twenty-first century, because people don''t have a lot of time and ''novels are often quite big while poems are often quite small''. I referred them to Doctor Who''s Tardis.'' Frank Skinner wants you to read more poetry. Wait, wait - don''t stop reading. Whether you''re a frequent poetry reader or haven''t read any since sixth form, Frank''s infectious passion for language, rhythm and metre will win you over and provide you with the basic tools you need to tackle any poem.In this short, easy-to-digest and delightful book, Frank guides us through the twists and turns of ''Pad, pad'' by Stevie Smith, a short, seemingly simple poem that contains multitudes of meaning and a deceptive depth of emotion. Revel in the mastery of Stevie Smith''s choice of words, consider the eternal mystery of the speaker of the poem and be moved by rhyming couplets like you never have before.Give it a go. You never know, you might even enjoy it.

Fair Helen - Andrew Greig - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Fair Helen - Andrew Greig - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Shortlisted for the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction 2014. 'One of the best historical novels of recent years, Greig dusts off the past and presents it with tremendous skill' - Literary Review 'A Triumph of suspense' - Guardian Saltire Award-winning author Andrew Greig reimagines the Border Ballad Fair Helen of Kirkconnel Lea as a dark romance and stirring adventure. Often called the Scottish Romeo & Juliet, here it is re-presented as the source of an equally famed, more complex drama. The Scottish Borderlands, 1590s Harry Langton is called back to the country of his childhood to aide an old friend, Adam Fleming, who believes his life is in danger. He's fallen for Helen of Annandale and, in turn, fallen foul of her rival, Robert Bell: a man as violent as he is influential. In a land where minor lairds vie for power and blood feuds are settled by the sword, Fleming faces a battle to win Helen's hand. Entrusted as guard to the lovers' secret trysts, Langton is thrust into the middle of a dangerous triangle; and discovers Helen is not so chaste as she is fair. But Langton has his own secrets to keep - and other friends to serve. Someone has noticed his connections, and recruited him in their bid to control the hierarchy of the Border families; someone who would use lovers as pawns in a game of war.

Fifty Miles Wide - Julian Sayarer - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Fifty Miles Wide - Julian Sayarer - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

BY THE AUTHOR OF INTERSTATE , WINNER OF THE STANFORD DOLMAN TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAR "Sayarer''s thoughtful, meditative travelogue feels very important . . . [An] exploration of how people persevere in the darkest of circumstances" Guardian "It conveys powerfully what life is like for people on both sides of ''the world''s most entrenched impasse''. At the same time, it''s full of free spirits and the joys of freewheeling" Telegraph Ten years after breaking a world record for cycling around the world, award-winning travel writer Julian Sayarer returns to two wheels on the roads of Israel and occupied Palestine. His route weaves from the ancient hills of Galilee, along the blockaded walls of the Gaza Strip and down to the Bedouin villages of the Naqab Desert. He speaks with Palestinian hip-hop artists who wonder if music can change their world, Israelis hoping that kibbutz life can, and Palestinian cycling clubs determined to keep on riding despite the army checkpoints and settlers that bar their way. Pedalling through a military occupation, in the chance encounters of the roadside, a bicycle becomes a vehicle of more than just travel, and cuts through the tension to find a few simple truths, and some hope. As the miles pass, the journey becomes a meditation on making change - how people in dark times keep their spirit, and go on believing that a different world is possible. "The vast energy of his commitment to discover, observe and communicate makes for engrossing, often incandescent prose. We need writers who will go all the way for a story, and tell it with fire. Sayarer is a marvellous example" HORATIO CLARE
