Acclaimed journalist Bernard Ollivier begins his epic journey on foot across the Silk Road. Upon retirement at the age of sixty-two, and grieving his deceased wife, renowned journalist Bernard Ollivier felt a sense of profound emptiness: What do I do now? While some see retirement as a chance to cash in their chips and settle into a comfy armchair, Ollivier still longed for more. Searching for inspiration, he strapped on his gear, donned his hat, and headed out the front door to hike the Way of St. James, a 1400-mile journey from Paris to Compostela, Spain. At the end of that road, with more questions than answers, he decided to spend the next few years hiking another of history’s great routes: the Silk Road. Out of Istanbul is Ollivier’s stunning account of the first part of that 7,200-mile journey. The longest and perhaps most mythical trade route of all time, the Silk Road is in fact a network of routes across Europe and Asia, some going back to prehistoric times. During the Middle Ages, the transcribed travelogue of one Silk Road explorer, Marco Polo, helped spread the fame of the Orient throughout Europe. Heading east out of Istanbul, Ollivier takes readers step by step across Anatolia and Kurdistan, bound for Tehran. Along the way, we meet a colorful array of real-life characters: Selim, the philosophical woodsman; old Behçet, elated to practice English after years of self-study; Krishna, manager of the Lora Pansiyon in Polonez, a village of Polish immigrants; the hospitable Kurdish women of Dogutepe, and many more. We accompany Ollivier as he explores bazaars, mosques, and caravansaries—true vestiges of the Silk Road itself—and through these encounters and experiences, gains insight into the complex political and social issues facing modern-day Turkey. Ollivier’s journey, far from bragging about some tremendous achievement, humbly takes the reader on a colossal adventure of human proportions, one in which walking itself, through a kind of alchemy, fosters friendships and fellowship. |

“‘A Better Man,' with its mix of meteorological suspense, psychological insight and criminal pursuit, is arguably the best book yet in an outstanding, original oeuvre.” —Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal "Enchanting... one of his most ennobling missions." —Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review Catastrophic spring flooding, blistering attacks in the media, and a mysterious disappearance greet Chief Inspector Armand Gamache as he returns to the Sûreté du Québec in the latest novel by #1 New York Times bestselling author Louise Penny. It’s Gamache’s first day back as head of the homicide department, a job he temporarily shares with his previous second-in-command, Jean-Guy Beauvoir. Flood waters are rising across the province. In the middle of the turmoil a father approaches Gamache, pleading for help in finding his daughter. As crisis piles upon crisis, Gamache tries to hold off the encroaching chaos, and realizes the search for Vivienne Godin should be abandoned. But with a daughter of his own, he finds himself developing a profound, and perhaps unwise, empathy for her distraught father. Increasingly hounded by the question, how would you feel …, he resumes the search. As the rivers rise, and the social media onslaught against Gamache becomes crueler, a body is discovered. And in the tumult, mistakes are made. In the next novel in this “constantly surprising series that deepens and darkens as it evolves” ( New York Times Book Review ), Gamache must face a horrific possibility, and a burning question. What would you do if your child’s killer walked free? |

The first three books in the popular Young Billionaires series. Includes a BONUS short story previously only available via the author’s newsletter. Book 1 - The Billionaire Stepbrother Bailey Sheppard had loved Nick Heart for as long as she could remember.  They had been best friends in school and had graduated to a friends-with-benefits arrangement after she left home to study at a university two states away.  Their once a month weekends were the highlight of her life, when he would fly in to visit her and she would have him all to herself for the entire, uninterrupted weekend. And then he told her he was getting married. Bailey’s perfect world was threatening to implode and she had to do something to set it to rights.  She needed Nick in her life, she wanted to be the one he married and lived happily ever after with.  So, she hatched a plan to stop the wedding and steal the groom. And then she met Hunter. Hunter Green, the reclusive aviation billionaire, offered to act as her boyfriend to make the groom jealous and help her put a stop to the wedding.  But his beautiful green eyes and the way he made her feel when he touched her caused her to question her loyalty and feelings towards Nick.  Oh, and he just happens to be Nick’s stepbrother. Now she had feelings for Hunter that won’t be denied, but what did that mean for her future with Nick?  Did she take a chance on a new relationship with Hunter or should she stay the course and reach for the happily ever after she’d always imagined with Nick? Book 2 - The Billionaire Daddy Brooks Barry was a corporate shark and one of the youngest billionaires in Australia.  For five years he travelled the world, buying up floundering businesses, streamlining them and then selling them off for profit.  He was good at what he did, but there was something missing in his life.  When one of his good friends fell in love, Brooks decided that maybe it was time to go home and actually live in the mansion he’d built for his wife before she left him for her ex-boyfriend.  Seeing Hunter and Bailey together made Brooks think that maybe he could find that if he would only stop running from the heartbreak of his divorce. Harper Fenwick had been a nanny for four and a half years, but she’d never had to face this situation before.  Her employer, Heather, had decided that she was sick of being a single mother and instructed Harper to take her daughter, Piper, to her father.  The only problem was that he didn’t know she existed.  When she first laid eyes on Brooks Barry, she could barely get a word out due to a large part of her brain shutting down as lust took over her frontal cortex.  She immediately developed a major crush on her boss and she still had to explain about the four year old little girl who was dying to meet him. Book 3 - The Billionaire Muse Mason Pressfield liked his quiet, solitary, ordered life.  He liked his mostly nocturnal existence, working late into the night and sleeping through the day.  He liked the quiet of his apartment, one of only two on his floor, and he especially liked being able to escape from people whenever he wanted to.  It’s not that he didn’t like other people, he just found them so… draining.  So what if two of his friends had found their forever partners? It didn’t mean that he was missing out on anything.  He wasn’t the relationship type anyway, and he liked to be able to keep the women in his life at arm’s length.  He liked to have complete control over any and all interactions with them.  So why was his new neighbour getting under his skin?  And what the hell were those strange noises coming from her apartment in the middle of the night? Abby Sutherland chose her apartment because it was only one of two on that floor and the building manager assured her that her neighbour was the type to keep to himself.  She liked her anonymity and a quiet, unobtrusive neighbour was exactly what she needed.  Abby had a secret that she was bound and determined to keep just that - a secret.  The last thing she needed was a nosy neighbour butting in and trying to find all the skeletons in her closet. When she first saw her new neighbour, it wasn’t under exactly ideal conditions and may have even come across as slightly suspicious.  And then he caught her again, also in a compromising position and she doubted the wisdom of choosing this particular apartment.  Even though she knew she needed to keep away from him, she was drawn to her tall, dark and handsome neighbour and her very active imagination began to use him as her muse for all sorts of fantastic tales.  But would the real Mason be a disappointment as she got to know him, or was he exactly what she had been fantasising about all along? Bonus Short Story - Hunter & Bailey This book takes place between Books 3 & 4 of The Young Billionaires Series Hunter and Bailey just can’t seem to connect…too much time apart is playing havoc with their relationship and the Bailey finds lipstick on Hunter’s shirt…lipstick that isn’t hers. |

A renowned diagnostician shares stories of his patients and explores the importance of the human factor in medicine.   In The Art of Medicine , Toronto Western Hospital’s internist Dr. Herbert Ho Ping Kong draws on his vast dossier of personal cases and five decades as a clinician to examine the core principles of a patient-centered approach to diagnosis and treatment.   While HPK, as he is fondly known, recognizes and applauds the many invaluable innovations in medical technology, he makes the point that as disease and its management grow increasingly complex, physicians must learn to develop an arsenal of more basic skills, actively using the arts of seeing, hearing, palpation, empathy, and advocacy to provide a more humane and holistic form of care.   Aimed at medical practitioners, aspiring doctors, or anyone interested in health and medicine, this book also contains interviews with more than a dozen of HPK’s patients, as well as short essays that explore the thinking of his professional colleagues on the art of medicine. |

From the messy blonde curls he’d let grow out, to the tattoos now covering his arms, part of his chest and even the side of his neck, it all represented a part of his journey.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of In a Dark, Dark Wood , The Woman in Cabin 10 , The Lying Game , and The Death of Mrs. Westaway comes Ruth Ware’s highly anticipated fifth novel. When Rowan stumbles across an ad for a live-in nanny, she’s looking for something else completely. But it seems like too good an opportunity to miss—with a staggeringly generous salary. And when she arrives at Heatherbrae House, she is smitten—by the luxurious “smart” house fitted out with all modern conveniences, by the beautiful Scottish Highlands, and by this picture-perfect family. What Rowan doesn’t know is that she’s stepping into a nightmare—one that will end with a child dead and Rowan in prison awaiting trial for murder. Writing to her lawyer from prison, Rowan struggles to explain the unravelling events that have led to her incarceration. It wasn’t just the constant surveillance from the cameras installed around the house, or the malfunctioning technology that woke the household with booming music, or turned the lights off at the worst possible time. It wasn’t just the children, who turned out to be a far cry from the immaculately behaved model children she met at her interview. It wasn’t even the way she was left alone for weeks at a time, with no adults around apart from the enigmatic handyman, Jack Grant. It was everything. Rowan knows she’s made mistakes. She admits that she lied to obtain the post, and that her behavior toward the children wasn’t always ideal. She’s not innocent, by any means. But, she maintains, she’s not guilty—at least not of murder. Which means someone else is. Full of spellbinding menace and told in Ruth Ware’s signature suspenseful style, this is an unputdownable thriller from the Agatha Christie of our time. |

When she gets word about the opportunity of a lifetime to do a Valentine's Day party for an elite club in Washington D.C. she jumps at the chance, only finding out that the party isn't for just any club, it is for the premier private BDSM club, Wicked. Desperate for a chance to make the social and professional connections that this job would offer, she agrees to a most unconventional business arrangement with the handsomest man she's ever met.   CEO Isaac O'Keefe swore off relationships years ago after having his heart broken and his bank account emptied by his gold digging first wife. He thought he'd managed to keep his heart under lock and key, but when Lucia walks into his office he is instantly drawn to the fiery beauty in a way he's never felt before. He convinces Lucia to take the position as event planner for Wicked's Valentine's Day Party, but in order to make the event a success, something he needs to happen to secure his place on the board at Wicked, he must give her a crash course at all the dark pleasures BDSM has to offer. What starts out as a business partnership quickly turns into something more as Lucia breaks down every wall around his heart without even trying. Isaac must then make a choice, push Lucia away and continue to live a safe, but lonely life, or open himself up again to the greatest pain and pleasure in the world. Love. |

The worst day of my life happened when Brandon died.  We had our entire future mapped out.  Careers, marriage, kids—in that order.  Then the universe threw a curveball and ended it all.  As I come to terms with everything, I learn I'm carrying his baby. Now I'm living with his roommate, the guy who's made my life a living hell the past two years. Hunter's now the one to hold me up when all I want to do is fall.  Knowing my religious parents will never accept the pregnancy out of wedlock, Hunter offers to be my fake husband. While I think he's gone crazy, it's the only plan that'll keep them in my life. So I do whatever it takes to make our relationship believable—kissing, touching, even letting him hold me when we sleep. The lines are so blurred neither of us want to admit we're no longer pretending.  The guilt of what we're doing eats me alive as I struggle to deal with my emotions. I push him away, but he pulls me closer, showing me how he's always felt.   Just as I begin to follow my heart, I learn Hunter's been keeping secrets. And I'm left to make the hardest decision of my life… **Book 2 in the Hunter & Lennon duet. Must read Baby Mine first.** |
