A Fallen Angel. A Devil on the Loose. When a young girl is discovered dead on an isolated Irish country road, it seems at first glance to be a simple hit & run. Then the cops see the tattoo on her back
- a pair of beautifully wrought angel wings that lend the victim a sense of ethereal innocence. Forensic investigator Reilly Steel is soon on the scene & her highly tuned sixth sense tells her there is more to this case than a straightforward murder. But with almost zero evidence & no way to trace the girl's origin, Reilly & the police are at a loss. Then the angel tattoo is traced to other children
- both dead & alive
- who are similarly marked, & Reilly starts to suspect they have all been abducted by the same person. But why? & will Reilly get to the bottom of the mystery & uncover what links these children together before tragedy strikes again?

This illustrated book explores some of the most remote regions of China & brings to life a world far removed from the great metropolises, a world that has almost been forgotten, where the people continue to live their traditional lifestyles largely undisturbed.

Product Description

The untold story of the African American women who helped win the space race that inspired the film from Twentieth Centry Fox film.

Before Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, a group of professionals worked as ‘ Human Computers’, calculating the flight paths that would enable these historic achievements.

Among these were a coterie of bright, talented African-American women. Segregated from their white counterparts, these ‘colored computers’ used pencil & paper to write the equations that would launch rockets, & astronauts, into space.

Moving from World War II through NASA’s golden age, touching on the civil rights era, the Space Race, the Cold War, & the women’s rights movement, Hidden Figures interweaves a rich history of mankind’s greatest adventure with the intimate stories of five courageous women whose work forever changed the world.
