Silver Bullets - Elmer Mendoza - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Silver Bullets - Elmer Mendoza - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

For Detective Edgar "Lefty" Mendieta, tormented by past heartbreak and dismayed by all-pervasive corruption, the murder of lawyer Bruno Canizales represents just another day at the office in Culiacán, Mexico''s capital of narco-crime.There is no shortage of suspects in a city where it''s hard to tell the gangsters from the politicians. Canizales was the son of a former government minister and the lover of a drug lord''s daughter, and he nurtured a penchant for cross-dressing and edgy sex. But why did the assassin use a silver bullet? And why, six days later, did he apparently strike again? Mendieta''s hunt for the killer takes him from mansions to low-life bars, from gumshoe reporters to glamourous transsexuals. Unearthing the truth can be as dangerous as any drug.

The Hormone Fix - Anna Cabeca - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

''Hormone balance is within reach, and this is the definitive guide for reaching that goal.''-David Perlmutter, MD, author of Grain Brain Prepare to thrive . As women approach menopause, many start to experience the physical and emotional indignities of hormonal fluctuation: metabolic stall and weight gain, hot flashes and night sweats, insomnia, memory loss or brain fog, irritability, low libido, and painful sex. Too often, doctors tell us that these discomforts are to be expected and that we will have to wait them out during "the change". But Dr Anna Cabeca''s research and experience with thousands of her patients show that there is a fast-acting and non-pharmaceutical way to dramatically and permanently alleviate these symptoms.The Hormone Fix introduces Dr Cabeca''s unique Keto-Green protocol, a plan that pairs the hallmarks of ketogenic (low-carb/high fat) eating with diet and lifestyle changes that bring the body''s cellular pH to a healthy alkaline level. The proven result: balanced cortisol and reduced output of insulin, the hormones most responsible for belly fat and weight gain, plus an increase in oxytocin, the "love and happiness" hormone. Whether you are perimenopausal, menopausal, or postmenopausal, The Hormone Fix offers an easy-to-follow program, including- A 10-day quick-start detox diet to jump-start weight loss and reduce symptoms immediately- Daily meal plans and weekly shopping lists to take the guesswork out of a month''s worth of Keto-Green eating- 65 delicious and easy-to-make recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, smoothies, and soups- Detailed information on vitamin and mineral supplementation that optimizes hormone balance and gut health- Simple self-assessments and recommended optional lab testing for a better understanding of your hormonal status- Tested and trusted stress-reduction and oxytocin-amplifying advice and techniquesWith The Hormone Fix you can expect to trim down, tap into new and unexpected energy levels, enhance intimacy, and completely revitalize your life!

Dog Days, Glenn Miller Nights - Laurie Graham - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Dog Days, Glenn Miller Nights - Laurie Graham - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

''They like it if you''re marvellous for your age. If you can''t be that, they want you down Plaistow Crematorium, not hanging about here, taking up bus seats.'' So says Bernie Gibbs, living on her memories on the seventh floor of an East End high-rise. Her diet is mainly chocolate bars and she yearns for action, or at least for the re-opening of the old Imperial Dance Hall, where she used to have good times. One of her ex-husbands, Jimmy Dwyer, turns up from nowhere with a greyhound that needs a temporary home, then disappears again. Seeing Jimmy revives memories of the War, when Birdie and her friends did their bit. She still does her bit today, though the world around her doesn''t make much sense. When the Fruit Bowl Estate boils over in the scorching summer of ''95, Birdie gets all the action she can handle.

Older and Wider - Jenny Eclair - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER! (June 2020) ''If you''re after an in-depth medical or psychological insight into the menopause, I''m afraid you''ve opened the wrong book - I''m not a doctor . . . However, I am a woman and I do know how it feels to be menopausal, so this book is written from experience and the heart and I hope it makes you laugh and feel better.'' JE Older and Wider is Jenny Eclair''s hilarious, irreverent and refreshingly honest compendium of the menopause. From C for Carb-loading and G for Getting Your Shit Together to I for Invisibility and V for Vaginas, Jenny''s whistle-stop tour of the menopause in all its glory will make you realise that it really isn''t just you. Jenny will share the surprising lessons she has learnt along the way as well as her hard-won tips on the joy of cardigans, dealing with the empty nest (get a lodger) and keeping the lid on the pressure cooker of your temper (count to twenty, ten is never enough).As Jenny says, ''I can''t say that I''ve emerged like a beautiful butterfly from some hideous old menopausal chrysalis and it would be a lie to say that I''ve found the ''old me'' again. But what I have found is the ''new me'' - and you know what? I''m completely cool with that.''

Is love stronger than death? It's hard to hold down a functioning relationship at the best of times - but it's harder still when one half of the couple is on the wrong side of dead, and the other's just discovered they possess powers that are definitely not of natural origin. To be together at all, Angela and Chloë have had to overcome almost impossible odds, but their final obstacle might be insurmountable. In the last ten months, they've searched high and low for a cure to Angela's biting problem, and if they don't find one soon, the chances grow higher and higher that Chloë might die. Is there a solution, or is the divide between the living and the dead too wide for them to cross?

" Richly engaging . . . Skilfully translated by David Homel - Michael Arditti, Spectator "A touching tale of a beleaguered dreamer . . . Lightness balanced by glints of harsh realism, a combination captured perfectly in David Homel''s translation" - Financial Times ***WINNER OF THE PRIX GONCOURT*** Paul Hansen is in prison. He''s been in prison for a couple of years now, sharing a cell with a huge Hells Angel with a fear of mice and an intense love of Harley Davidsons, who often reminds Paul that he could kill him at any moment.But life wasn''t always like this. Before prison, there were his parents: Danish pastor Johannes and free-spirited Anna, the proprietor of a controversial art house cinema in Toulouse. There were his friends in the Excelsior, the block of luxury flats where Paul worked officially as a caretaker, and unofficially as a restorer of souls. And above all, there was his partner, Winona, a daring seaplane pilot, and their beloved dog Nouk.Many of them are dead now: his parents, his friends, Winona and Nouk. Paul can still talk to them though; they appear in his dreams, as ghosts in his cell, breaking up the monotony and fear of his life behind bars. But Paul knows he cannot be released until he shows remorse for the crime that led to his imprisonment. And, even with his freedom at stake, for some things, true remorse is too high a price to pay. . . Translated from the French by David Homel

The Treatment - Michael Nath - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

''Simply the best British novel I''ve read this century'' David Peace ''Will stay in my head forever...a fantastic book'' The Tablet '' A maverick project that defies comparison'' Metro At a bus stop in south London, black teenager Eldine Matthews is murdered by a racist gang. Twenty years later, L Troop''s top boys - models of vice, deviance and violence - are far beyond justice. There are some people the law will not touch. But Eldine''s murder is not forgotten. His story is once again on everyone''s lips and the streets of south London; a story of police corruption and the elimination of witnesses. A solicitor, a rent boy, a one-eyed comedian and his minder are raising ghosts; and Carl Hyatt, disgraced reporter, thinks he knows why.There''s one man linking this crew of rambunctious dandies and enchanting thugs, and it''s the man Carl promised never to challenge again: Mulhall, kingpin of London''s rotten heart and defender of L Troop''s racist killers. Carl must face up to the morality of retribution and the reality of violence knowing that he is the weak link in the chain; and that he has placed everyone he loves within Mulhall''s reach. The Treatment is steeped in London''s criminal past, its shadows of corruption and institutional racism. Like a seventeenth-century revenge tragedy, its characters reel from the streets, bars and brothels, hyperarticulate and propelled by wild justice.
