One juror changed the verdict. What if she was wrong?

'Ten years ago we made a decision together...'

Fifteen-year-old Jessica Silver, heiress to a billion-dollar fortune, vanishes on her way home from school. Her teacher, Bobby Nock, is the prime suspect. It's an open and shut case for the prosecution, and a quick conviction seems all but guaranteed.

Until Maya Seale, a young woman on the jury, persuades the rest of the jurors to vote not guilty: a controversial decision that will change all of their lives forever.

Ten years later, one of the jurors is found dead, and Maya is the prime suspect.

The real killer could be any of the other ten jurors. Is Maya being forced to pay the price for her decision all those years ago?

The Ronde : Inside the World's Toughest Bike Race (9781471169274)

'It wasn't a race but a war game' Bernard Hinault 'Without question, the hardest one-day bike race ever created' George Hincapie The Tour of Flanders - known to cycling fans as the Ronde - is the biggest one-day bike race in the world. It is a potent mix of grit, cobbles, steep climbs, narrow roads, national pride, beer, brutal weather and the maddest, most passionate fans in the sport. It's the Tour de France boiled down into a single day of non-stop action - the Belgian equivalent of the Grand National, Wimbledon and the FA Cup final. And there's yet more to it than that. Edward Pickering tells the story of the Tour of Flanders, its history, culture and meaning, through the prism of the 2011 Ronde, an incredible edition that was one of the most exciting bike races of the past half-century. He weaves the narrative of that day into a broader study of the race, with eyewitness accounts from the key locations of the Ronde and dozens of interviews with t...

Filon de Alejandria.Obras completas (9788498790238)

El presente volumen V continúa el proyecto de edición en castellano de las Obras completas de Filón de Alejandría. Se contienen en él los tratados que pueden ordenarse en el género histórico-teológico. Se los considera históricos porque contienen documentación, descripción e interpretación de eventos del pasado y del presente del pueblo de Israel, de la ciudad de Alejandría y del Imperio romano. Sin embargo, no pueden ser considerados netamente historiográficos porque en estos tratados subyace una argumentación que los estudiosos han calificado con diversos conceptos: escrito teológico, filosófico, apologético, bíblico. La vida de Moisés contiene una reescritura de la vida del legislador de los judíos, combinada con una explicación de las cuatro funciones que hacen de Moisés una figura central de la historia humana y de la creación misma: rey, legislador, sacerdote, profeta. Es un manifiesto del judaísmo helenista. La vida contemplativa o de los suplicantes contiene la descripción y e...
