Simone Harris has always known how to hold it down. For her son. For her clients. For the sports agency she built from scratch. She keeps things running, keeps herself moving, and keeps her heart tucked safely out of reach. But this birthday feels different. It falls on a leap year, a date that only circles back every so often. A rare kind of day that feels like it arrives exactly when it’s meant to. The kind that makes you pause and ask what you have been pushing through just to keep going. In that stillness, something begins to surface alongside it.

Hochspannend und dramatisch: Der neue Standalone-Thriller des Autorenduos Ulrike Gerold und Wolfram Hänel. Auf dem Marktplatz neben der Kirche wird ein Mann aufgefunden – nackt, von Kopf bis Fuß in Asche eingerieben und mit einer Ziffer auf der Stirn. Im Krankenhaus wird bei dem bekannten Restaurantkritiker eine extreme Unterernährung festgestellt. Kriminalkommissarin Hannah Meyer, die gerade erst aus dem hohen Norden in die Alpen versetzt wurde, vermutet einen Zusammenhang zwischen der Tat und den religiösen Praktiken der Fastenzeit.

The author was born a slave on a plantation near Wilmington, North Carolina. He discusses the religious meetings he conducted as a slave near Wilmington, including encounters with patrols that attempted to prevent such meetings, and instances of benign social interaction between the races. This 1885 edition of Thomas H Jones's expanded 1862 edition of his memoir includes an addendum on his ministry during slavery and on his experiences as a minister on the abolitionist lecture circuit.
