Maggie Walsh, a freelance photo-journalist with a penchant for dangerous situations, receives a tip that the Dalai Lama is dead. It is the sort of scoop which could earn her enough to pay off the mortgage, the cost of her replacement camera and even get London Electricity off her back. In McLeod Ganj, home of the Tibetan community in exile, she confirms the truth of the tip, but before she can get out with her photographs she is apprehended and while the world's media make their money Maggie is in detention. But there she gets to know a young monk, Tsering, and when he announces he is part of a group going into Tibet to follow the oracle to find the Dalai Lama's reincarnation, she persuades him to take her with them. It is the beginning of an extraordinary physical and spiritual adventure as they first locate the newly born child, and then attempt to return to McLeod Ganj without alerting the Chinese. But the occupiers of Tibet know precisely where they are and are as determined to bring Tibetan Buddhism to an end as its adherents are to continue it.

From the No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of Every Breath You Take comes the story of a woman whose ambition was exceeded only by her cruelty. Some grim synchronicity placed Liysa, a Texan with a slew of male victims in her wake, on the same path as Chris, a handsome pilot. Liysa wanted to be a Hollywood screenwriter, and she not only wanted to destroy Chris' reputation, she wanted his million-dollar fortune. One sunny morning, Chris lay dead in his sleeping bag beside a shallow river, while Liysa drove four hours to show up sobbing on a friend's front porch. She appeared to have been beaten, but more and more questions arose that made detectives suspicious. In the end, the woman who appeared to have it all was convicted of the brutal and well-planned murder of the man who had loved her more than anyone. A true story of desire and death, Heart Full Of Lies is another remarkable case study from the undisputed Queen of True Crime.
