In the space of 32 hours, the children of six billionaires are taken off the streets of London in a well-planned kidnapping. The perpetrators demand £25 million per hostage. For 'expenses'. Not ransom. And when your child goes missing, you need Charles Boxer. A man who will stop at nothing. The wealthy parents of the missing children know that Boxer will do more than the police can, but that doesn't mean the law will leave it to him. Soon the investigation goes beyond the corridors of power and into even darker corners. But still nobody knows what this mysterious kidnap gang ultimately want - and, if they have a cause, what the hell is it?

A sweltering Seville is recovering from the shock of a terrorist attack and Inspector Jefe Javier Falcon is struggling to fulfil his promise to its citizens: that he would find the real perpetrators of the outrage."

Lewis Carroll's books have delighted children and adults for generations, but behind their exuberant fantasy and delightful nonsense was the mind of a brilliant mathematician. This title explores the curious imagination of this man who filled his writings with problems, paradoxes, puzzles and teasing games of logic.

Úkladný atentátník. Na skládce je nalezena znetvořená mrtvola muže se skalpovaným obličejem a useknutýma rukama. Avšak dřív, než stačí inspektor oddělení vražd Javier Falcón zločin vyšetřit, otřese Sevillou výbuch, který zničí blok činžovních domů a dětskou školku. Záchranáři nacházejí v troskách desítky mrtvých, a když objeví v suterénu zříceného domu tajnou mešitu, zachvátí město panika živená vzpomínkou na bombový atentát v Madridu v březnu roku 2004. Je výbuch v Seville dílem islámských teroristů? Ale proč by islamisté vyhazovali do vzduchu mešitu?

V létě roku 2002, více než čtrnáct měsíců po dramatických událostech, které ovlivnily Falcónův život, se komisař vrací do služby s obnovenou sebedůvěrou, avšak stále se zraněnou duší po rozchodu se ženou. Jeho vyšetřování začíná tragickou smrtí majitele stavební společnosti, který spáchal sebevraždu po zardousení své mladé ženy. Falcón se snaží pochopit motivy tohoto činu a brzy se objevují další otázky. Může mít tragédie Vegovy rodiny souvislost s jeho ukrajinským zahradníkem nebo s ruskou mafií, jež operuje v Seville a využívá Vegovu firmu k praní špinavých peněz? Záhadný vzkaz, který Vega držel v ruce při smrti, obsahuje datum 11. září, což vyvolává další spekulace o jeho významu. Falcón začíná pochybovat o tom, zda lze smrt považovat za sebevraždu. Během vyšetřování odhaluje podivnou minulost amerického manželského páru, sousedů Vegy, a problémy známého herce, dalšího souseda. Následně dojde k dalším sebevraždám a lesnímu požáru v okolí Sevilly, které se zdají být nesouvisející. Falcón však nachází náznaky, že všechny tyto události mají společného jmenovatele a že Vega skrýval hluboké tajemství.

Screening for breast cancer is now an accepted part of healthcare practice in many parts of the world. However, the advent of mass screening has brought with it the need for rapid and accurate diagnosis. Breast calcifications in particular are commonly misinterpreted, and definitive diagnosis of whether such calcifications represent benign or malignant conditions is extremely difficult, as the calcifications can easily be missed, or their shape (which is critical in diagnosis) misinterpreted. This book aims to provide a practical understanding to the diagnosis and treatment of breast calcification and will be essential reading for all members of the breast screening team, including pathologists, radiologists and surgeons. The multidisciplinary group of authors first cover in detail the main pathologies that present with calcification, and go on to describe the techniques of fine needle aspiration and core biopsy and large bore biopsy sampling of tissue, reporting procedures, radiological management of calcification and clinical aspects of the diagnosis of breast calcification. The second part of the book looks at some of the most recently adopted methodologies for diagnosis such as high frequency ultrasound, computer aided diagnosis and the roles of MRI and synchrotron radiation.

"While this, the second volume of the Cosmic Trigger trilogy, continues along the path set by the original Cosmic Trigger I: Final Secret of the Illuminati, it also stands solidly on its own. Any reader with an open mind and a sense of humor cannot help but be entertained and enlightened while following Wilson's explorations into such subjects as the future of cyberspace; the peculiarities of Irish jurisprudence; links among the Mafia, the CIA and the Catholic Church; anal-eroticism in The White House; the Dog Castrator of Palm Springs; and many more observations from his infinitely fertile brain."--Publisher description.
