When Hadiyyah Upman disappears from London in the company of her mother, Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers is as devastated as the girl's father.

Five months later, Hadiyyah is kidnapped from an open air market in Lucca, Italy, and this triggers an investigation in the full glare of the media spotlight. Barbara's clever manipulation of the worst of London's tabloids forces New Scotland Yard to become involved.

He heads to the wild beauty of the Lake District, with Deborah and Simon St James to provide cover for his inquiries. Barbara Havers, back at base, makes her own unique contribution to the case, distracted only by Isabelle's ambitions to improve her Detective Sergeant's appearance. When he comes to know the various members of the extended Fairclough dynasty, Lynley finds many possible motives for murder, and uncovers layers of deceit and betrayal that expose the lies at the heart of the Cumbrian community.

And Eve refuses to involve the police, convinced that Charlotte's disappearance is just one more shabby tabloid ploy. Only when events take an unbearable turn is New Scotland Yard brought in, in the guise of Detective Inspector Lynley and his partner, Barbara Havers. And as their investigations move from Westminster to Wiltshire, Lynley and Havers discover that treachery and betrayal lie perilously close to home.

Have you noticed that a large portion of the prayer requests at Bible studies relate to a need for healing, either for ourselves or our loved-ones? But in spite of that important, on-going need, very little is taught on healing from most pulpits and in most Bible study groups! What does the Bible tell us about healing? Can we know God's will regarding healing? How did Jesus pray for healing? What did He instruct His followers concerning healing? What about my own physical needs... how should I pray in regard to my own need for healing? The Bible has a lot to say about health and healing and we're going to dig it out, sift through it, and open our hearts to the Holy Spirit's illumination so we can KNOW what God has said in His Word and AGREE WITH HIM as we pray. This Bible study is a bit longer than some, but please don't let that keep you from choosing this study.... The topic of healing is too important NOT to explore thoroughly! Your health and the health of your loved ones may significantly benefit from your time here in the weeks ahead. If you must miss a lesson, please go back and complete it since each chapter topic is crucial to having a more complete understanding of Biblical healing. May the Lord Jesus Christ receive much glory as He is recognized as being the Purchaser of our healing and "The LORD, who heals us!"

Seeing . . . to perceive with the eyes and understand with the heart. What do you see? There are not very many influences in life that impact us more than our sight, but God has declared that if our faith rests upon the visual, it isn't faith at all. We children of God endeavor to look beyond to what is seen in the spirit realm as well. What is seen is temporary but what is unseen is eternal. In this Bible study on seeing, you'll explore sight from a variety of vantage points, both physical and spiritual. You will gain illumination regarding God's view of sight so that by His grace you can follow His invitation: "Don't be unseeing, but be seeing... receive your sight!," having eyes to see.

Elizabeth George har gjort det igen - skrevet en grum historie, som man ikke kan lægge fra sig. - LitteratursidenEn massemorder er på spil i London. Ofrene er unge drenge, og da flere af dem er af udenlandsk herkomst, hævder offentligheden såvel som religiøse og politiske ledere og ikke mindst pressen, at politiets langsommelighed i opklaringen af mordene er udtryk for grov racisme.Det bliver kriminalkommissær Thomas Lynley, der får sagen, og da han forsøger at få Barbara Havers genindsat i den rang, hun tidligere har haft, og desuden selv vil bestemme, hvordan efterforskningen skal føres, møder han alvorlig modstand hos den øverste ledelse i New Scotland Yard.De bestialske mord fortsætter, og konflikterne i gruppen tager til, alt imens kravet fra offentligheden om en hurtig og effektiv løsning bliver mere og mere massivt.George har skabt langtidsholdbare personer, Havers og hendes skønne respektløse hurtighed er den mest interessante at følge.
