Fourteen years later, Ana, now working as a defense attorney, takes on the case of a young skater who’s accused of the murder of Ana’s former coach at a Colorado skating facility. Ana’s investigation into the case finds her confronting buried secrets as she works to solve the murder before it’s too late.
Coming in March there’s The Hunger Code: Resetting Your Body’s Fat Thermostat in the Age of Ultra-Processed Food by Dr. Jason Fung—a sequel to The Obesity Code, the bestselling guide to losing weight naturally. In The Hunger Code, Fung explores the ways that people can safely lose weight in the age of weight loss drugs and processed foods and keep it off. Fung explains that we’re susceptible to physical, emotional, and social hunger, and the book lays out how we can recognize and respond to hunger appropriately and understand the body’s “fat thermostat,” which affects fat regulation.
