Rosa Prencipe Książki

W sobotnie południe w salonie jubilera na Manhattanie dochodzi do potrójnego morderstwa, w którym giną właściciel i dwoje klientów. Sprawca, z nieznanych powodów, zostawia na miejscu cenne kamienie warte pół miliona dolarów oraz jednego świadka - młodego szlifierza diamentów, Vimala Lahoriego, który informuje policję o zbrodni, a następnie znika. Śledztwo prowadzą Lincoln Rhyme i Amelia Sachs, którzy muszą odnaleźć Vimala, zanim morderca naprawi swój błąd. W miarę postępu dochodzenia ujawnia się, że zabójca nie interesuje się diamentami, lecz narzeczonymi, którzy giną w radosnych momentach - podczas zakupu pierścionka zaręczynowego, planowania wesela czy przymiarek sukni ślubnej. Morderca, nazywający się Przyrzeczennikiem, zaskakuje swoje ofiary, przekształcając ich szczęście w tragedię. W mieście zaczyna dochodzić do serii tajemniczych katastrof, które mogą być zarówno nieszczęśliwym zbiegiem okoliczności, jak i starannie zaplanowaną intrygą, mającą na celu zmylenie policji. Jeffery Deaver, uznawany za jednego z najbardziej poczytnych amerykańskich pisarzy, zdobył światową sławę dzięki powieści, w której po raz pierwszy pojawiła się para detektywów: Lincoln Rhyme i Amelia Sachs.

Seventeen-year-old Mercedes Ayres has an open-door policy when it comes to her bedroom, but only if the guy fulfills a specific criteria: he has to be a virgin. Mercedes lets the boys get their awkward, fumbling first times over with, and all she asks in return is that they give their girlfriends the perfect first time- the kind Mercedes never had herself. Keeping what goes on in her bedroom a secret has been easy- so far. Her absentee mother isn’t home nearly enough to know about Mercedes’ extracurricular activities, and her uber-religious best friend, Angela, won’t even say the word “sex” until she gets married. But Mercedes doesn’t bank on Angela’s boyfriend finding out about her services and wanting a turn- or on Zach, who likes her for who she is instead of what she can do in bed. When Mercedes’ perfect system falls apart, she has to find a way to salvage her reputation and figure out where her heart really belongs in the process. Funny, smart, and true-to-life, FIRSTS is a one-of-a-kind young adult novel about growing up.
