A obra mais conhecida de Maurício de Abreu, professor da UFRJ falecido em 2011, tem mais de 30 anos, está em sua quarta edição e se mantém atual. Best seller das faculdades de arquitetura, fornece, nas palavras do próprio autor, "uma síntese do processo de produção do espaço urbano carioca, desde o início do século XIX". A publicação, que traz belas fotos de locais hoje modificados pelas ações que desenharam a cidade, analisa o papel desempenhado pelo estado e outros agentes na evolução urbana do Rio de Janeiro, identificando uma tendência preponderante ao modelo segregador entre ricos e pobres que estratifica a cidade em centro e periferia por meio de legislação elitista e da erradicação de favelas. Segundo o autor, antes da primeira grande intervenção estatal, empreendida por Pereira Passos, a falta de transportes coletivos e a maioria da população escrava tornavam faziam do Rio uma cidade mais concentrada e heterogênea. A elite se diferenciava mais pela aparência das casas que pela localização. Com a grande reforma do início do século, nasce a "cidade capitalista", dividida entre o Centro comercial, a nobre Zona Sul e os subúrbios da Zona Norte, ocupados por indústrias e pela população pobre.

“Father John was friendly during the services. He had no problem in greeting people during the Peace, where people wander about mid-service saying hello, peace, waving, some greeting others with a chaste hug, in general recognition of being one big family. He had a nice smile. Only he never stood at the church door after service to shake hands or say goodbye...”

Wacky new vicar Father John aims to modernise St Martha’s church in the delightful city of Hillford. People love his fun gimmicks but cannot understand why he will not ever shake hands at the end of service. Even the charming archdeacon, Babs, cannot get him to change his mind. Until one day, the reason becomes crystal clear.

Ambitious journalist Fred Vestal, on loan from a London tabloid, is trying to shake up the sleepy local paper. He turns up to a service at St Martha’s and sees an uninhibited children’s play. After getting a sniff of a story, he interviews the vicar and writes a vicious article, labelling Father John as a public menace.

When they next meet, Father John refuses to shake hands with Fred. Soon afterwards a body is found in a pile of compost in the churchyard. The little cathedral city of Hillford, where even the police seem off-beat, looks for an answer...

Shake Hands or Die is a cosy crime novel, with humour, elements of farce and a cast of vivid and fun characters. However, there are also deep underlying questions and some lyrical poignancy. It will appeal to fans of authors such as Alexander McCall Smith and Simon Brett.

Is a secret the same as a lie?

She slept with her sister’s husband, on the day of the funeral. No wonder she was in agony. She wants her family to forgive her, but can she forgive herself?

Allie Denton fell in love with Lennon Holland the minute they met. He was her best friend. But he was also in love with her sister.

When her sister dies in a car accident, Allie reaches out to Lennon for support and they end up in bed together. But afterward Lennon wants her to forget that it happened.

How can she possibly forget something like that? The guilt. The lies. The shame. Besides, she knows he feels something for her although he won’t admit it. They both know it will never work anyway. The only thing to do is to find someone else. She encourages him to do the same.

Then just when she thinks she’s met the right guy, Lennon finally opens up to her. It seems he has been harboring a few secrets as well. But is too late for them?

Book 2: Taking Over the Nether Army

Sergeant Ghast is back! After the Nether army kicked me out for having a couple of ideas that were too crazy for them, I swore that I would get my revenge. I spent weeks building a new army. It was filled with angry Skeletons soldiers and some Blazes who had always wanted to fight. The Nether army made its second mistake when they asked me to come back. I did come back, but with an army of my own! Now that my army and I are inside of the Nether base, we’ll stop at nothing from taking over the army. We aren’t really sure how we’re going to take over the army yet, but we’re smarter and much more clever than the Nether army brats, so we know that nothing will stop us from being the biggest and baddest army in all of the Nether, and some day, in the whole Overworld too!

Book 3: The End of the War
My name is Ghast, formerly Sergeant Ghast, but currently General Ghast. Months ago I was removed from the Nether army because they thought that my ideas for improving the army were too crazy. Little did they know, but my ideas were actually just crazy enough to get the job done. Within a month out of the Nether army I had created my own army, full of Skeletons and Blazes. In another month, I was back into the Nether army base. My new troops and I took over the Nether army. Now I am the leader of this whole army, but I’m not done yet. The Nether army is at war with the Overworld army. Those Overworld punks won’t give us the resources that we deserve. We didn’t want to fight them for the resources, but sometimes a guy, or an entire army, needs to fight to get what they deserve. Now the Nether army, which is under my control, is getting ready to take on the Overworld army, and hopefully take it over! Those resources will be ours sooner than anyone would have ever expected!
