I dag skal vi stifte bekendtskab med den britiske opdagelsesrejsende Isabella Bird, der blev det første kvindelige medlem af Royal Geographical Society i London. I en tid, hvor kvinder helst skulle blive hjemme, brød Isabella med alle regler og stak, fra 1850’erne og mange år frem, af sted på ufattelige rejser gennem Japan, Tibet, Korea, Kina, Persien og Afghanistan. I dag koncentrerer vi os om hendes store rejse gennem det Vilde Vesten i Amerika. Det var her hun fik sit gennembrud som nysgerrig rejsende og forfatter. I selskab med desperadoen og vildmanden, den enøjede Rocky Mountain Jim, krydsede hun på hesteryg The Rockies om vinteren, hvor hun ville forsøge at bestige bjerget Longs Peak. Hvem var hun egentlig denne victorianske kvinde? Og hvad var det der drev hendes livslange udlængsel?  

Medvirkende: Lone Theils, journalist, som igennem 16 år arbejdede som korrespondent i London for henholdsvis Berlingske Tidende og Politiken. Lone er forfatter til en lang række af kriminalromaner, og nu aktuel med bogen “En Djævelsk Plan”.

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
