Knife / by Nesbø, Jo,1960-author.; Smith, Neil(Neil Andrew),translator.; translation of:Nesbø, Jo,1960-Kniv.English.;
Harry Hole is not in a good place. Rakel--the only woman he's ever loved--has ended it with him, permanently. He's been given a chance for a new start with the Oslo Police but it's in the cold case office, when what he really wants is to be investigating cases he suspects have ties to Svein Finne, the serial rapist and murderer who Harry helped put behind bars. And now, Finne is free after a decade-plus in prison--free, and Harry is certain, unreformed and ready to take up where he left off. But things will get worse. When Harry wakes up the morning after a blackout, drunken night with blood that's clearly not his own on his hands, it's only the very beginning of what will be a waking nightmare the likes of which even he could never have imagined.

An Earthling's guide to outer space : everything you ever wanted to know about black holes, dwarf planets, aliens, and more / by McDonald, Bob,1951-author.;
"Beloved science commentator Bob McDonald takes us on a tour of our galaxy, unraveling the mysteries of the universe and helping us navigate our place among the stars. How big is our galaxy? Is there life on those distant planets? Are we really made of star dust? And where do stars even come from? In An Earthling's Guide to Outer Space, we finally have the answers to all those questions and more. With clarity, wisdom, and a great deal of enthusiasm, McDonald explores the curiosities of the big blue planet we call home as well as our galactic neighbours--from Martian caves to storm clouds on Jupiter to the nebulae at the far end of the universe. So if you're pondering how to become an astronaut, or what dark matter really is, or how an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs, look no further. Through a captivating mix of stories, experiments, and illustrations, McDonald walks us through space exploration past and present, and reveals what we can look forward to in the future. An Earthling's Guide to Outer Space is sure to satisfy science readers of all ages, and to remind us earthbound terrestrials just how special our place in the universe truly is."--

Somebody told me ... : one man's unexpected journey down the rabbit hole of lies, trolls, and conspiracies / by Wallace, Danny,author.;
"Bestselling author Danny Wallace (Yes Man and Join Me) takes on the modern epidemic of lies, conspiracy theories, and disinformation to find out if truth has a chance in the fight. Have your loved ones been pulled into the rabbit hole of online conspiracies? Are they spouting strange theories about secret cabals or admiring authoritarian leaders? How did we become so vulnerable to false beliefs? Wallace's eye-opening investigation explores the ripple effects of misinformation -- meeting families torn apart, journalists on the frontlines, reformed conspiracy believers, influencers cashing in on fear, and the faceless trolls spreading lies. He reveals how disinformation not only devastates lives but divides communities and reshapes nations. False narratives seize our imaginations, leaving us feeling both powerless and oddly energized. With trademark wit and keen insight, Wallace delivers a timely, thought-provoking exploration that will make you question everything you think you know about truth in the digital age"--

Next stop : a novel / by Resnick, Benjamin,author.;
"For readers of Leave the World Behind and Exit West, an astonishingly resonant novel that explores the precariousness of Jewish American life through one family after a black hole consumes the State of Israel and similar strange events occur in major cities around the world, ushering in a time of chaos as well as miracles. When a black hole suddenly consumes Israel and as similar anomalies spread across the globe, a conspiracy takes hold: will the holes swallow the Jews, or will they swallow the earth? Against a backdrop of antisemitic paranoia, restrictions on Jewish life, and spasms of violence, Ethan and Ella, Jewish citizens of a nameless American city, meet and fall in love. Ella, a photojournalist, documents the changes in daily life, particularly among the city's Jewish residents. Some Jews, feeling inexplicably drawn to the unusual events, go underground to an abandoned subway system that seems to connect the entire world. Others leave for the south, forming militias and stockpiling weapons. But most, like Ethan, Ella, and her young son Michael, stay and try to make their way amid the hostility and small joys of the ever-changing landscape. But then thousands of commercial planes are sucked from the sky. Air travel stops. Borders close. Refugees pour into the capital. Eventually all Jews in the city are forced to relocate to the Pale, an area sandwiched between a park and a river. There, under the watchful eye of border guards, drones, and robotic dogs, they form a fragile new society. Suspenseful, thought-provoking, and brilliantly conceived, Next Stop is an enthralling novel that explores the fault lines between our collective, national, and individual memories and how our deepest bonds can be unexpectedly reshaped in moments of crisis"--
