TO KVINDER, DER VAR CLEVELAND-KIDNAPPEREN ARIEL CASTROS TILFÆLDIGE OFRE, STÅR I DENNE BOG FREM OG FORTÆLLER DERES HISTORIE OM BORTFØRELSEN, TI ÅRS FANGENSKAB OG DEN DRAMATISKE FLUGT.Forladt af en hustru, han havde pint og plaget i årevis, besluttede en midaldrende skolebuschauffør fra Cleveland, Ohio i 2002 at tage, hvad han ikke kunne få. Over tre år kidnappede han tre piger fra nabolaget, installerede dem i sit hus i lænker og bag barrikaderede vinduer, og gennem ti år forsvandt han længere og længere ind i en vanvidsforestilling om et lykkeligt familieliv. Et liv, som for Amanda, Gina og Michelle var et slaveliv med vold, voldtægt, sult og sorg.HÅB er en gribende og grum kriminalhistorie om karakterafvigeren Ariel Castros ufattelige forbrydelse. Om mareridtet på Seymour Avenue, baseret på pigernes egne optegnelser, krydsklippet med historien om familiernes kamp for de savnede døtre og FBI-agenternes utrættelige søgen efter spor i en sag, der blev mere og mere kold – indtil en mirakuløs mandag i maj 2013. Men det er også pigernes livsbekræftende personlige historie om et spinkelt, spirende håb, materialiseret i Jocelyn, som Amanda fødte i huset. Og om viljen til at overleve manden og monstret, der stjal deres ungdom.
1898, Glasgow. A man is found stabbed to death but the police are struggling to grasp any leads. Can Juan Cameron, photographer-cum-sleuth, bring to light what the eye may overlook?
1898. When Juan's photographer father is killed whilst working in Cuba, his last photos reveal that the death was no accident. Juan returns to his family in Scotland, but when his own interest in photography helps the police solve a crime, suddenly he is involved in the hunt for a serial killer.
?Essential to all students of Joyce's life and works. Research at Clongowes Wood, Belvedere and University Colleges has produced much new and valuable material which has been carefully interpreted with reference to Joyce's books. The differences Mr. Sullivan points out between Joyce's actual life and the life of Stephen Dedalus in A Portrait and Stephen Hero, particularly, should settle the question of autobiographical content of these books for all time. Highly recommended for all literary collections.?-Library Journal
