Lo que podréis escuchar en este audiolibro bien podría corresponderse con el guion de una película de Hollywood. Una, cuya crítica fuera que dista demasiado con la realidad, que es demasiado fantasiosa, como de ciencia ficción, en la que sabes que el héroe vencerá contra todo pronóstico y de cualquier manera.Se trata del relato de una nueva Champions League del Real Madrid, la Decimocuarta en concreto. Nada tiene de especial eso, dirían algunos, pero lo vivido en el Santiago Bernabéu entre el 9 de marzo de 2022 y el 4 de mayo del mismo año parecía una hazaña imposible incluso para el Real Madrid, el club de las remontadas. Una Copa de Europa perfecta en su imperfección, en su distancia con el cartesianismo imperante e impuesto por el relato dominante.Este audiolibro está narrado en castellano.

Kun arvostettu geneetikko Olavi Heikkinen murhataan raa’asti työpaikalleen, vanhempi rikoskonstaapeli Irina Pärn on ymmällään. Mikä on murhan motiivi? Vai onko kyseessä ollut äkkipikaisesti suoritettu tappo?Myös patologin tutkimuksessa paljastunut omituinen löytö herättää lisäkysymyksiä. Mitä Heikkinen oikein piilotteli? Mitä hänellä oli työn alla? Menneisyys, nykyhetki ja tulevaisuus punoutuvat yhteen rikostutkimuksen edetessä ja ratkaistavaksi jää, kenellä oikeastaan on valta päättää muiden elämästä? Samaan aikaan Pärnin on myös selvitettävä, voiko tulevaisuutta edes olla, jos ei uskalla kohdata menneisyyttään?Heikkisen kuoleman takana on paljon monimutkaisempi ja yhteiskunnallisempi syy kuin Pärn osasi alun perin edes aavistaa – eikä Pärn aio luovuttaa ennen kuin syyllinen on saatu vastuuseen.Valta on Emma Uusihakalan hyytävä ekodekkari täynnä jännittäviä käänteitä. Se on itsenäinen jatko-osa teokselle Ei voi korjata (2020).Sagan ympäristökirjat ovat monipuolisia puheenvuoroja ilmastosta, ympäristöstä ja luonnosta.Emma Uusihakala (s. 1980) on helsinkiläinen kirjailija. Hän julkaisi esikoisteoksensa Ei voi korjata vuonna 2020. Uusihakalan kirjat sivuavat lääketiedettä ja syy sille löytyy hänen päivätyöstään kätilönä. Kirjailijan omiin kirjasuosikkeihin sisältyvät Robin Cookin ja Jo Nesbøn tuotannot, mutta tasapainoksi on pakko välillä lukea myös Harry Pottereita ja rakkaustarinoita, sillä tämän dekkaristin sisällä asuu myös ikuinen romantikko.

Tilly Tennant has an amazing gift of story-telling.’ Goodreads Reviewer.Tilly has sold over 280,000 copies. Previously published as Hopelessly Devoted to Holden Finn.For fans of Jenny Colgan, Lucy Diamond and Josie SilverFrom a young age, Tilly Tennant was convinced that she was destined for the stage. Once she realised she wasn’t actually very good at anything that would put her on the stage, she started to write stories instead.
