Deux rencontres ont changé le cours de l'existence de Kristin Kimball, journaliste new-yorkaise trentenaire : l'une avec Mark, jeune fermier bio compliqué, exaspérant mais ô combien séduisant ; l'autre avec le travail de la terre dont elle a fait, contre toute attente, son métier. Ce livre est le récit de ces deux histoires d'amour...La terre prend racine en vous ; à côté, tout le reste paraît dérisoire. Vos champs deviennent un univers à part entière. Et vous vous rendez compte que c'est au royaume des magnétoscopes numériques, des tours de bureaux, des fast-foods, du chauffage central et de l'air conditionné, dans ce pays où presque tout le monde vit aujourd'hui dans le confort, que vous étiez privé de quelque chose : du plaisir du désir, de l'effort et de la difficulté, du sens de l'accomplissement.

Natalie Landau, a museum curator with an expertise in Mesopotamian protective amulets and magical beliefs, has received a puzzling gift from her sister, Dana – a necklace with a blue evil-eye pendant. A symbol of protection common throughout the world, the evil eye has a mystical history connecting it to many religions. When Natalie learns Dana was murdered only hours after sending the gift, she begins to think her evil-eye amulet had something to do with her sister’s death. As she races to discover the origin of the pendant, Natalie is sucked into an international battle between powerful political and religious factions, each battling for the eye, which turns out to be far more valuable – and far more powerful – than she could ever imagine.
"I'm in trouble, Liz. I've uncovered something.... They're watching...." That panicked message on her answering machine is the last time Liz Ames hears from her sister Rachel, pastor of Paradise Christian Church in Key West, Florida. Compelled to uncover the truth about her sister's disappearance, she heads to Key West. Within hours of her arrival a successful banker jumps to his death. Then a teenage girl whom Rachel was counseling is found brutally murdered. The ritualistic style of the killing is hauntingly similar to that used by the notorious "New Testament" serial killer--now on death row. Could the teen's murder be related to Rachel's disappearance? Is a copycat killer at work? And why do the police refuse to help? For answers, Liz turns to Rick Wells, a former Miami cop who worked the fringes of the "New Testament" investigation. Together they peel away layers of deception to reveal a terrifying adversary--and the unspeakable evil at the heart of this island paradise.
