"What if the people you love the most are the ones hiding the darkest secrets?
When Diana returns home one fateful evening, her life is shattered when she finds her husband, Patrick, dead. But the circumstances of his mysterious death only raise more questions than answers.
Miles away, Angie's world is also falling apart. Her husband, Ray, has vanished without a trace, leaving her to grapple with his strange disappearance and the turmoil of raising their troubled teenage son alone.
As both women dig into the secrets their husbands have left behind, they uncover a chilling web of lies and long-buried truths. What begins as two separate searches quickly collides, unravelling a sinister chain of events that neither woman could have imagined. With each revelation, the stakes rise, leading to a shocking truth that threatens to destroy everything they hold dear.
Nowhere Man is a gripping psychological thriller packed with jaw-dropping twists and turns. Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, Shari Lapena, and Ruth Ware, this electrifying novel will leave you questioning who you can really trust.
From Deborah Stone, bestselling author of Semi-Detached, Me & My Shadow, and What's Left Unsaid, Nowhere Man is a must-read thriller."
"What do people do when they count? What do numbers really mean? We all know that people can lie with statistics, but in this groundbreaking work, eminent political scientist Deborah Stone uncovers a much deeper problem. With help from Dr. Seuss and Cookie Monster, she explains why numbers can't be objective: in order to count, one must first decide what counts. Every number is the ending to a story built on cultural assumptions, social conventions, and personal judgments.
And yet, in this age of big data and metric mania, numbers shape almost every facet of our lives: whether we get hired, fired, or promoted; whether we get into college or out of prison; how our opinions are gathered and portrayed to politicians; or how government designs health and safety regulations. In warm and playful prose, Counting explores what happens when we measure nebulous notions like merit, race, poverty, pain, or productivity.
Suffused with moral reflection and ending with a powerful epilogue on COVID-19's dizzying statistics, Counting will forever change our relationship with numbers."
"Bloomsbury presents The Essential Family Guide to Caring for Older People by Deborah Stone, read by Maggie Ollerenshaw.
No one wants to think about getting older.
It’s true. At any age, when things are moving along normally day to day and everyone seems fit and well, there seems no reason to think about future problems that your friends and relatives might (and probably will) come across as they age. In fact, it might even seem a little morbid to think such thoughts, or possibly even tempting fate?
Yet there will come a time when you must raise these issues and, ideally, this should be before any problems arise. The Essential Family Guide to Caring for Older People is the ultimate source of information and help for families with care responsibilities. Deborah Stone draws on her extensive experience working in elder care to offer practical advice on every aspect of the field in-depth.
Topics range from how to get help immediately, legal information, care funding options, a guide to useful technology and advice on the main physical and mental health issues that affect older people. Plus guidance is given on dealing with social services and ensuring you choose the right care for your situations.
Crucially, the book also offers help on how to cope as a carer with practical advice on juggling family, work and your caring responsibilities while looking after yourself. P 2019 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC C 2019 Deborah Stone"
