Oliver Twist is one of Charles Dickens's most famous novels and a powerful classic of Victorian literature. The story follows Oliver, an orphan born into poverty, as he moves from the cruelty of the workhouse into the dangerous streets of London, where innocence, survival, crime, and compassion collide. Through unforgettable characters such as Fagin, the Artful Dodger, Bill Sikes, and Nancy, the novel exposes the harsh realities of child poverty, social injustice, criminal exploitation, and moral corruption.

According to Czech history, these aren't new attacks.

For archaeologist and TV show host Annja Creed, a restful vacation in Costa Rica is as elusive as a rare artifact. Days into her sojourn, Annja's peace is interrupted by a woman with a mysterious — and enticing — tale. Weeks earlier, her husband led an expedition into the rain forest, in search of the lost treasure of Lima, and hadn't returned. The priceless hoard was smuggled out of Peru during the country's 19th-century revolt against Spain. But it disappeared when a ship captain went mad with greed.

While taping an episode of Chasing History's Monsters, TV host and archaeologist Annja Creed learns that her sometime friend and protector Garin has acquired an ancient butterfly key artifact, the kind once used to wind automatons, clockwork-style devices.

Enza Gorla è morta, uccisa da un colpo di pistola dietro l'orecchio. Enza era la compagna di scuola che, per la misteriosa poesia dell'adolescenza, tutti hanno avuto e tutti hanno amato, bella, dolce, sempre preparata ma senza iattanza, generosa. Dopo, la vita l'ha travolta, lasciandole solo, si capisce, una mite generosità d'animo. E da questa muove il commissario per spiegarsi un omicidio, più che per scoprire un colpevole.

This Victorian best seller, along with Braddon's other famous novel, Aurora Floyd, established her as the main rival of the master of the sensational novel, Wilkie Collins.

Her crime (the secret of the title) is shown to threaten the apparently respectable middle-class world of Victorian England.
