In a series of exclusive interviews from prison, Clayton discloses to Trinity the truth about what happened that night beneath Devil''s Bridge.

A deviously twisty novel of psychological suspense about secrets, neighbors, a need to belong, and murder by the award-winning author of The Maid''s Diary. Socially awkward Chloe Cooper divides her time between dog walking, bartending, caring for her ailing mother, and at a safe distance, watching people and inventing the stories of their lives. Like Chloe''s new neighbors: glamorous influencer Jemma Spengler and Jemma''s husband, Adam, a renowned surgeon. They''re attractive, wealthy, and in a house of open windows, so exposed. A move to the Pacific Northwest is supposed to be a fresh start for Jemma and Adam. It''s a renewed commitment to a marriage fractured by secrets. A chance to work through the tragic losses in their past. For Jemma, however, this new beginning also comes with an unnerving sensation that she''s being watched. Then, on a fog-shrouded beach early in the morning, Chloe witnesses the murder of a swimmer. Her suspicions aroused, she suddenly sees her neighbors in a sinister new light. But as a detective and her partner close in, nothing is quite as it seems. Because the Spenglers are not the only ones with secrets. And Chloe isn''t the only one who''s been watching.

De-Stalinization and the House of Culture (1990) looks at the houses of culture - arts centres which in the Stalinist period functioned as agencies of political socialisation - and the changes in their character and functions since Stalin''s death. This book explores the diminishing control of the Communist Party over public leisure from 1953 to the present day, as one aspect of the de-Stalinization and the dismantling of the totalitarian system. It focuses on the changing nature and functions of the ''cultural enlightenment'' conducted in houses of culture and similar institutions. Public rejection of the Stalinist attempt to saturate all leisure activities with propaganda and to liquidate many national cultural traditions have gradually forced the party to relinquish much of its leading role in this area. The book compares this process in three different Soviet-type systems, the USSR, Poland and Hungary. It discusses depoliticization of house of culture activities and, especially in the era of perestroika, their eventual repoliticization by unofficial associations concerned with a mix of political, cultural, social and environmental issues. Today the house of culture, a quintessentially Stalinist institution, paradoxically provides a home for an emergent civil society.

Ela se considera a “garota invisível”, compulsivamente intrometida na vida discreta de seus clientes abastados. Era um passatempo inofensivo, até que Kit vê algo que não devia na casa de seus mais recentes empregadores – um segredo tão sombrio que poderia arruinar o casal rico que espera seu primeiro filho. Isso transforma Kit em uma ameaça para o casal. E transforma o casal – capaz de matar para proteger seu segredo – em uma ameaça para Kit. Quando a detetive Mallory Van Alst é convocada para uma cena de crime em uma mansão à beira do lago conhecida como a Casa de Vidro, ela se depara com evidências de um ataque tão brutal que é pouco provável que a vítima tenha sobrevivido. Mas não há corpo. Os proprietários sumiram, e a empregada está desaparecida. A única testemunha é uma vizinha idosa que acordou no meio da noite ao som de gritos. Ela também foi a última pessoa a ver Kit Darling com vida. À medida que a detetive desvenda o segredo que lançou todos os envolvidos em uma tortuosa e inescapável rota de colisão, ela percebe que nada é como parece. E que ninguém consegue fugir do passado. Até onde você iria para proteger um segredo que pode te DESTRUIR? “Loreth Anne White definiu o patamar de ouro para o gênero.” — Debra Webb, autora best-seller do USA Today"
