“A fantastical, thought-provoking page turner” (Robert Foster, bestselling author of The Lunar Code). In 1928, when Demetri Davos discovers a mysterious crystal ball that can grant him anything he asks, he soon learns that power always comes with a price. After two selfish requests result in the death of innocent people, he resolves never to use the orb again. But when the Nazis begin their march across France, the desperate half-Jewish Demetri is forced into a life-or-death decision—and has to break his vow to make his escape. Years later in Chicago, he is rich and happily married—but a vengeful nemesis, who knows of the ball’s power, now wants what he’s owed—and will stop at nothing to get it. With his family in peril, Demetri is forced to pay for his past, and for wishes granted, time after time . . . after time . . . Spanning from Europe to America and across decades, In His Hands traces one good man’s struggle to combat his own inadequacies and resist overwhelming temptation in a deadly moral tug-of-war.

Healthy Bee, Sick Bee

The Influence of Parasites, Pathogens, Predators and Pesticides on Honey Bees

By: Phil Lester

Phil Lester's first book, The Vulgar Wasp, was about one of the world's most hated insects. His second is about just the opposite &– the honey bee, arguably one of our best-loved six-legged creatures. People have revered honey bees for centuries. Today we celebrate them with toys, postage stamps and campaigns to raise awareness; we dress up in large bee suits to protest the use of pesticides; we've even sent bees into space and watched as they adjusted to microgravity.Bees are one of the world's most efficient pollinators. Their work is vital to the success of many food crops, and hence to the world's economy. So we need to take seriously any threats to their health &– including parasites, pathogens, predators and pesticides &– and, guided by evidence at every turn, find a way to minimise harm and keep bees thriving. As Healthy Bee, Sick Bee shows, this is no small task.In this book, entomologist Phil Lester explores the wonderfully complex and sometimes brutally efficient life history of honey bees, and the problems they face in New Zealand and around the globe. What causes a beehive to collapse? Are pesticides as big a problem as they appear? What can we do to improve the health

Mafia Prince

Inside America's Most Violent Crime Family and the Bloody Fall of La Cosa Nostra

By: Phil Leonetti

MONEY, MURDER, AND MACHIAVELLIAN MAYHEM . . . CONTAINS A NEW EPILOGUE Mafia Prince is the first person account of one of the most brutal eras in Mafia history -- "Little Nicky" Scarfo's reign as boss of the Philadelphia family in the 1980s -- written by Scarfo's underboss and nephew, "Crazy Phil" Leonetti. The youngest-ever underboss at the age of 33, Leonetti was at the crux of the violent breakup of the traditional American Mafia in the 1980s when he infiltrated Atlantic City after gambling was legalized, and later turned state's evidence against his own. His testimony led directly to the convictions of dozens of high-ranking men including John Gotti, Vincent Gigante, and the downfall of his own uncle, Nick Scarfo -- sparking the beginning of the end of La Cosa Nostra (the insiders' term for the Mafia, translated as "This Thing of Ours").
