Elegant, trumpet-like lilies, she thought. But there was something off. Something not right. It was the color. It was strange, sort of pale and flesh-colored... In a sleepy seaside town outside Copenhagen, a strange light at the bottom of the harbor has the police call in a military diver with a speciality in wet crime scenes. Deep down in the dark water sits a car with the dead body of a young woman in the driver’s seat. She has a long cut in her lower abdomen. Copenhagen Police’s Felix Jørgensen is on the case, and his new deputy Kathrine Nymark gets thrown in the deep end on her very first day on the job, when it becomes clear that a brutal murderer is on the loose. On some jagged cliffs off a rural district in the south of Norway, a dog walker finds a partly skeletal corpse wearing a wetsuit. At first, the police assume it's just another drowning incident, but the victim doesn’t match any people reported missing and then there’s also that suture thread in her abdomen. Black Notice is a crime story told in five parts. Partly based on actual events, Black Notice tells the thrilling story of the international hunt for a ruthless serial killer. Lotte Petri is a Danish author of crime fiction. In 2009, her first book was nominated for Danske Bank’s Newcomer of the Year Award. Her Selma Eliassen series was lauded by critics, and in 2017, the first book in the series starring bone expert Josefine Jespersen, "The Devil’s Work", was released.

Searching for silver linings, science podcaster Peter Scott and his small team use this ominous event to improve their sagging ratings. They capitalize on growing fears of invasion by interviewing experts with unorthodox solutions to defend Earth. But 2037 is no ordinary year. DNA is just another programming language, and CRISPR-centric body-altering tech is now a plaything for the masses. Humans are hybridizing at breakneck speed, sporting subdermal chips, animal traits, and flesh-metal integrations. While radical new tech spins off the rails, society convulses violently at the pace of change as biases and hatreds escalate between humans and hybrids. Conservatives vs. Progressives; Majorities vs. Minorities; Humans vs. Hybrids, and now Humanity vs. Aliens...where will it all end? Yet alien marauders and social disruptions aren't the only challenges. Shadowy forces are threatening to kill the podcast – or the team. Is there any hope of escaping their dire predicament? 5 Stars***** Imminent Future, or Imminent Extinction? A fascinating leap into the imminent future...when Genetic Engineering and Genetic Modification have advanced astronomically (Goodreads Review). https://bladecort.com PREDICTABLE PATHS episodes, in sequential order: 1.

High society. Higher stakes. This is the 1st episode in the first season of False Idols, an 11-episode serial from Serial Box Publishing. This episode written by Lisa Klink. At an elegant soiree organized for her benefit—so she can meet the players in Cairo’s expensive art scene, who figure prominently in her FBI investigation—Layla feels a little out of place. She’s undercover, and convincing these people that she’s one of them is her hardest assignment yet. They’re a mystery to her: rich, entitled, well-connected...and some of them are probably working with terrorists. Layla el-Deeb left Egypt for good eleven years ago, after a childhood spent in Cairo’s slums. Now she’s a language expert for the FBI...and she’s right back where she started, in Cairo, investigating a terrorist organization that’s funding its activities through fraudulent art sales. But this isn’t the Cairo she knew. She’s landed right in the middle of the city’s glittering elite, whose dealings in the art world may be the key to infiltrating the terrorist network. Undercover in the place she was born, trying to fit in with the city’s high rollers, Layla is a stranger in every way—even to herself.

Here too, the armies of hatred are preparing to fight Muhammad (peace be upon him), who revealed the darkness of their hearts with the purity of his own. The Quraysh tribe disputes and almost fights, but he reconciles their differences, thereby enhancing his position in society before being sent as a messenger by God

This study of the fictional themes and techniques of Michel Tournier reveals his profound radicalism as a social critic and novelist despite the seeming conventionality of his works. Guided by Tournier's essays and interviews, Petit examines his fiction in light of plot sources, philosophical and anthropological training, and his belief that fiction should change the world. Close study of Vendredi ou les limbes du Pacifique, Le Roi des aulnes, Les Météores, Gaspard, Melchior et Balthazar, and La Goutte d'or, as well as the short fiction in Le Coq de bruyère and Le Médianoche amoureux, shows Tournier's revolutionary conception of plot structuring as he develops key themes, whether religion, sensuality, or prejudice, in more than twenty years spent reconceiving the nature of fiction.
