Tyttö, salapoliisi ja kadonnut kissa. Tästä asetelmasta käynnistyy kiehtova matka halki kahden eriskummallisen kaupungin. Sirppihäntäinen Kent kulkee askeleen edellä ja jättää jälkeensä johtolankoja: kissankarva, kermakuppi, hännänjälki pölyssä. Voisi miltei kuvitella, että kissa haluaakin tulla seuratuksi... Johtolangat kuljettavat tytön ja salapoliisin Rottakaupungin hylätyksi luullun kirkontornin kautta taiteilijakukkulalle ja lopulta Korkeakaupungin sanomalehtitoimitukseen. Siellä painokoneet takovat täyttä höyryä kaikkien aikojen uutisotsikkoa. Mutta missä on Kent, vai löytyykö kaupungin kasvojen takaa lopulta jotain aivan muuta? Kissa nimeltä Kent on palkitun lastenkirjailijan omintakeinen mysteerikertomus, joka lumoaa Pikku Prinssin tapaan kaikenikäiset lukijansa.

Content Advisory: This book is intended for mature audiences and contains graphic and disturbing imageryT This is the first of a British series of 4, and although they can all be read as standalone books, the author recommends you read them in sequence to get the greatest enjoyment.All Netta's books are available for free download with Kindle Unlimited. What People are saying about this book... Well, the magic just keeps on coming from the pen of Ms. Newbound.I have to say I loved this book and cannot praise it highly enough.I was gripped from the start and loved all the characters in this book, even the ones I was supposed to hate, and that was because they were so well written. A lot of authors write characters two dimensionally, but the characters in this book are fully rounded and three dimensional.The major plot of this story is a woman's struggle to overcome the abuse she suffered as a child at the hands of her paedophile Father and his sick accomplices. The past comes back to haunt her in the most unexpected of ways, but even though the subject matter can be uncomfortable for some, it does not detract from the story and I found myself cheering as the baddies in this book got their comeuppance. And yes, once again, parts of this story border on horror, with the added touch of gore the author seems to favour, but I have to say, these parts are vital to the story that Ms. Newbound is telling us.I would love for this book to be turned into a television programme in the same vein as Prime Suspect, and look forward to reading the rest of the series.I cannot recommend this book highly enough Mr Marco Lewis I really love this book I'm so happy I discovered this new writer and her work. This is a mystery where you keep THINKING you might know who the killer is - but then a new twist shows up, making your original theory obsolete. It's very exciting and suspenseful. I didn't like all of the characters, although on the other hand, you're not supposed to like the baddies haha. But even the hateful ones were very well drawn out. I'm glad to hear there will be more stories about the detective who saves the day in this book, and that this is the first in what will be a whole series of books about him. He IS a really likable character. Netta Newbound is really talented and I can't wait to read more from her. Seramidis This is an exciting and disquieting family psychological thriller where the main character, Amanda, faces her deepest, darkest memories and feelings and some shocking events happen around her. She's a paradox and I was swept along in the crises she had to face and at the same time following the effects it was having on those around her. I liked the Detective and was intrigued with his involvement and how that developed, dealing with Amanda's case was never going to be straightforward, her story is intense. Sandra T

This paper's aim sets out to provide an account of how the mechanics and fixed operations of the human experience are occurring in a causally determined universe, where all outcomes of the universe are necessarily fixed and offer no alternative possible outcomes other than what has and will happen. Furthermore, there will be an examination of the universe and the human experience under the lens of dynamic systems theory acting in accordance with the laws of motion as laid out by Sir Isaac Newton. Therefore, a workable definition of free will is required so free will throughout this paper should be established. A good starting place would be from a position that understands free will as an assumption that human agents ultimately have the power to freely think and act according to their own personal discretion; that's is to say, "... a philosophical term of art for a particular sort of capacity of rational agents to choose a course of action from among various alternatives." 1 Although there is a plethora of arguments put forward both for and against human agent's ability to possess free will, this paper will work under the guides that life is occurring in a fixed universe governed by cause and effect relationships without any alternative outcomes, making free will an impossibility for human agents.
Ikkuna on yllättävän monimutkainen ja kiinnostava rakennusosa. Ei ole lainkaan yhdentekevää, miten vanhan talon ikkunoita kohdellaan. Mitä vanhemmasta ikkunasta on kyse, sitä todennäköisemmin se on laatutyötä ja rakennushistoriallisesti arvokas. Hyvin hoidettuna vanha puuikkuna on pitkäikäinen ja laiminlyötynäkin yleensä kunnostettavissa.Ikkunakirja antaa tietoa vanhoista ikkunoista ja niiden kunnostamisesta ja tarjoaa vaihtoehdon ikkunoiden tarpeettomalle uusimiselle.Kirjassa käydään läpi puuikkunan kehitys keskiajalta 1950-luvulle. Ikkunan osat sekä niissä käytetyt materiaalit esitellään seikkaperäisesti, ja ikkunan kunnostamiseen sekä huoltamiseen annetaan käytännönläheiset ohjeet.
