Murder Under the Microscope - James Fraser - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

''Jim Fraser has been at the forefront of forensic science in the UK for decades... A superb story of real-life CSI.'' Dr Richard Shepherd, bestselling author of Unnatural Causes ''Powerful... Fascinating'' Independent Most murders are not difficult to solve. People are usually killed by someone they know, there is usually abundant evidence and the police methods used to investigate this type of crime are highly effective. But what about the more difficult cases, where the investigation involves an unusual death, an unusual killer, or is complex or politically charged? In these cases, bringing the accused before the courts can take many years, even then, the outcome may be contentious or unresolved. In this compelling and chilling memoir, Jim Fraser draws on his personal experience as a forensic scientist and cold case reviewer to give a unique insight into some of the most notable cases that he has investigated during his forty-year career, including the deaths of Rachel Nickell, Damilola Taylor and Gareth Williams, the GCHQ code breaker.Inviting the reader into the forensic scientist''s micro-world, Murder Under the Microscope reveals not only how each of these cases unfolded as a human, investigative and scientific puzzle, but also why some were solved and why others remain unsolved or controversial even to this day.

When the Doves Disappeared - Sofi Oksanen - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

1941: In Communist-ruled, war-ravaged Estonia, two men are fleeing from the Red Army - Roland, a fiercely principled freedom fighter, and his slippery cousin Edgar. When the Germans arrive, Roland goes into hiding; Edgar abandons his unhappy wife, Juudit, and takes on a new identity as a loyal supporter of the Nazi regime... 1963: Estonia is again under Communist control, independence even further out of reach behind the Iron Curtain. Edgar is now a Soviet apparatchik, desperate to hide the secrets of his past life and stay close to those in power. But his fate remains entangled with Roland''s, and with Juudit, who may hold the key to uncovering the truth... In a masterfully told story that moves between the tumult of these two brutally repressive eras - a story of surveillance, deception, passion, and betrayal - Sofi Oksanen brings to life both the frailty, and the resilience, of humanity under the shadow of tyranny.

Laird explores with the Dalai Lama Tibet''s relations with the Mongols; the Golden Age under the Great Fifth Dalai Lama; Tibet''s years under Manchu overlords; the four decades of modern independence in the early half of the twentieth century; and finally the Dalai Lama''s meetings with Mao-Tse Tung, just before His Holiness fled into exile in 1959. The Story of Tibet is the Dalai Lama''s personal look at his country''s past, and also a summation of a life''s work as the spiritual and temporal leader of the Tibetan people.

Anything Goes - Lucy (author) Moore - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

Bracketed by the catastrophes of the Great War and the Wall Street Crash, 1920s America was a place of drama, tension and hedonism. It glittered and seduced: jazz, flappers, wild all-night parties, the birth of Hollywood, and a glamorous gangster-led crime scene flourishing under prohibition. But the period was also punctuated by momentous events - the political show trials of Sacco and Vanzetti; the huge Ku Klux Klan march down Washington DC''s Pennsylvania Avenue - and it produced a splendid array of writers, musicians and film stars, from F. Scott Fitzgerald to Bessie Smith and Charlie Chaplin.
