The consequences of media saturation are the basis for an urban nightmare in Lullaby, Chuck Palahniuk`s darkly comic and often dazzling thriller. Assigned to write a series of feature articles investigating SIDS, troubled newspaper reporter Carl Streator begins to notice a pattern among the cases he encounters: each child was read the same poem prior to his or her death. His research and a tip from a necrophilic paramedic lead him to Helen Hoover Boyle, a real estate agent who sells "distressed" (demonized) homes, assured of their instant turnover. Boyle and Streator have both lost children to "crib death," and she confirms Streator`s suspicions: the poem is an ancient lullaby or "culling song" that is lethal if spoken-or even thought-in...

Baby is twelve years old. Her mother died not long after she was born and she lives in a string of seedy flats in Montreal`s red light district with her father Jules, who takes better care of his heroin addiction than he does of his daughter.

Baby finds herself constantly re-adjusting to new situations, new foster homes, new places, new people, all the while longing for stability and a `normal` life. But Baby has a gift - the ability to find the good in people, a genius for spinning stories and for cherishing the small crumbs of happiness that fall into her lap. She is bright, smart,...

The second book in the stunning Roman Empire trilogy by Robert Harris, author of the acclaimed bestsellers Fatherland, Enigma, Archangel, Pompeii, Imperium and The Ghost. It is 63 BC, the year when Cicero is consul. Most of his time in office is devoted to uncovering and thwarting a violent conspiracy to overthrow the state, ostensibly led by Crassus and a group of disaffected senators.

As Caesar`s power grows, Cicero must face the inevitable compromises that come with power; is it justifiable to use illegal methods in order to save the Republic? Robert Harris yet again proves himself a...
