Jed v šálke čaju
Zločin počas čajového obradu
Kto mal motív zavraždiť bohatú filantropku?
Prvý prípad novinárky Nory Valliovej
Novinárka Nora Valliová sa po niekoľkých rokoch života v Japonsku rozviedla a vrátila do Talianska. Žije v Miláne a pracuje pre časopis Dnešná žena. Keď dostane za úlohu napísať článok o novom sídle čajovej školy známeho japonského majstra, ktorú navštevujú najmä bohaté Milánčanky, zúčastní sa spolu s nimi na inauguračnom čajovom obrade. Počas ceremónie skolabuje obľúbená filantropka Ludovica Cattaneová, a keď neskôr v nemocnici zomrie, všetci sú presvedčení, že dostala infarkt. Pitva však prinesie prekvapivý záver – Ludovicu niekto otrávil. Ako sa to mohlo stať, keď pri obrade pili všetci prítomní vrátane majstra z tej istej šálky?
Do vyšetrovania záhadného prípadu sa zapojí aj Nora a spolu s nevľúdnym policajným komisárom Malacarnem sa pustí do odhaľovania tajomstiev milánskej smotánky. Postupne vyjde najavo, že Ludovica nebola taká dobrosrdečná, ako sa zdalo, a že nejedna jej priateľka mala na ňu ťažké srdce. Kto ju však nenávidel až tak veľmi, že ju chcel zniesť zo sveta?
Z talianskeho originálu Matcha al veleno (Sonzogno di Marsilio Editori in Venezia 2023) preložila Lenka Cinková.

Vidím, že vás láka tma
Andrij Oleksandrovyč Geister bol dobrovoľníkom v cudzineckej légii. Keď sa v roku 2014 vrátil na Ukrajinu, bolo všetko iné. Akákoľvek bežná situácia sa stala pre neho spúšťačom posttraumatickej stresovej poruchy (PTSD) a nebyť dobráckeho policajného vyšetrovateľa Valeru, ktorý mu ponúkol miesto konzultanta na kriminálnej polícii, ocitol by sa vo vážnych problémoch. Andrij vytváral v práci psychologické profily zločincov. Mal tesne po tridsiatke, no stále nevedel, čo vlastne chce, a život mu uštedroval jednu ranu za druhou. S milovanou ženou sa pohádal a vzápätí dostal správu o úmrtí matky. Kým cestoval na jej pohreb kamsi na juh krajiny, jeho žena v hlavnom meste spáchala samovraždu. Ukázalo sa, že čakala Andrijovo dieťa, ktorému teraz zostávajú mizivé šance na prežitie a lekári bojujú o jeho prežitie. Andrij by najradšej zostal v hlavnom mieste a nepovšimnuto by sa upil na smrť, vyšetrovateľ Valera ho však vyslal na služobnú cestu do zabudnutej dediny, kde má odhaliť sériu vrážd. Jedna po druhej tu mizli mladé ženy a neskôr sa nachádzali ich zohavené telá, posledná obeť však bola iná. Zmizlo šesťročné dievčatko s autizmom a sluchovou poruchou.
Autor do formy mystického trileru vložil úvahy o vine, pokání a tabu. Ukazuje, že nie všetci, ktorí porušujú tabu, sú zločinci, a nie všetci, ktorí trestajú, stoja na strane spravodlivosti.

Mŕtvy z hory Storr
Stopy mali zostať zahladené, jedna chyba však všetko zmenila.
Po návrate na Skye objavuje Duncan McAdam nanovo vzťah k svojmu rodnému ostrovu. Minulosť naňho nevyťahuje temné pazúry tak nemilosrdne ako spočiatku. Zdá sa, že sa mu konečne dýcha o čosi ľahšie a on môže pomaly dávať dohromady svoj roztrieštený život.
Plány mu náhle naruší nový prípad: záhadná smrť majiteľa galérie v Portree. Našli ho ležať v snehu na úpätí hory Storr. Inšpektor so svojím tímom si potrebujú poskladať sériu stôp a udalostí, ktoré viedli až do tohto bodu. Charizmatický sukničkár si počas života narobil mnoho nepriateľov. Bol by ho však niektorý z nich schopný zabiť? Alebo je za tým niečo hlbšie a nepravdepodobnejšie?
Zároveň s tým, ako sa Duncan ponára do príbehu mŕtveho muža, doháňajú ho aj vlastné nedoriešené záležitosti. Minulosť, ktorú chcel nechať za sebou, ho opäť nachádza nepripraveného a on sa už pred ňou nikam neskryje...
Pečujeme v závěru života
Víme, že pečovat doma není snadné. Víme ale, že to může být dobré nejen pro nemocného, ale i pro nás ostatní: umožnit blízkému být mezi svými, přinést pocit naplnění, urovnat vztahy v rodině.
Publikace vychází z praktických zkušeností pečujících pracovníků Cesty domů, autorka Martina Tesařová několik let vedla tým terénních i pobytových odlehčovacích služeb. Najdete v ní srozumitelné obrázky, praktické rady a jednoduché postupy z praxe.
Tato publikace mapuje oblasti, ve kterých se můžeme na péči připravit, a to třeba uzpůsobením domácnosti a využitím dostupných zdrojů pomoci, ale i svým vnitřním nastavením. Je zaměřená na jednotlivé praktické oblasti péče o člověka v závěru života, např. jak zajistit hygienu u imobilního člověka, najdete zde tipy a triky při vyprazdňování na lůžku, rady pro přesuny nemocného z lůžka na vozík či toaletu. Ale také rady, jak můžete u nemocného podpořit pohyb nebo co může pomoct, či naopak uškodit při podávání potravy a tekutin.
Uvědomujeme si, že péče nekončí úmrtím, a proto přinášíme praktické rady, co můžete dělat bezprostředně poté. Zároveň prostředí, které jsme postupně přizpůsobovali péči, po ukončení péče opět adaptujeme na novou situaci. Zastavíme se krátce i u rituálů rozloučení a návratu do života, kdy už nebudeme muset být v neustálé pohotovosti.
Díky praktické kroužkové vazbě zůstává kniha otevřená přesně tam, kde ji potřebujete - na stole, na lince, vedle postele, a najdete jednoduše názorné obrázky, ověřené tipy a jasné postupy krok za krokem.

The kookie investor insists they must compete for the cash by working at the local failing baby dragon bookshop to prove their magical business knowledge.
Determined to win the funding, Emmy dives into the task. But making a very flammable bookshop fit for baby dragons is no small feat, and it seems these rivals may need to join forces. Could Luke and Emmy's fiery animosity spark something more between them?

A Harvest of Hearts
Howl's Moving Castle meets The House in the Cerulean Sea in Andrea Eames’ Sunday Times bestselling cosy fantasy: a cheeky butcher's daughter, a befuddlingly handsome sorcerer, and his clever talking cat unlock magical secrets in the dark heart of their kingdom – and just might discover the meaning of true love. Everyone in Foss Butcher’s village knows what happens when the magic-workers come; they harvest human hearts to use in their spells. That’s just how life in her kingdom works. But Foss, plain, clumsy, and practical as a boot, never expected anyone would want hers. When a sorcerer snags a piece of Foss’s heart without meaning to, she is furious. For once a heart is snagged, the experience is … well, unpleasant. So, Foss finds herself stomping toward the grand City to keep his enchanted House and demands that he fixes her before she keels over and dies, or whatever happens when hearts are Snagged. But the sorcerer, Sylvester, is not what she expected. Petulant, idle, and new to his powers, Sylvester has no clue how to undo the heart-taking, or how to do much of anything really, apart from sulk. Foss’s only friend is a talking cat and the walls themselves have moods. As Foss searches for a cure, she accidentally uncovers that there is much more to the heart-taking – and to the magic-workers themselves – than she could have ever imagined…
Thou Savage Woman
A Daily Telegraph and BBC History Magazine Book of the Year 'Popular history at its best' Spectator 'Boisterous… replete with stabbings, bashing and thumping' Daily Mail 'A cocktail of brutal, tragic, and fascinating true crime from the era of the Tudors and Stuarts. This dark history at its best, narrated with empathy and precision' Gareth Russell LADY KILLERS AND FEMME FATALES – STORIES OF MURDER MOST FOUL – HAVE GRIPPED PUBLIC IMAGINATION FOR CENTURIES Early Modern Britain was awash with pamphlets, ballads, woodcuts broadcasting bloodthirsty tales of traitorous wives, greedy mistresses, cunning female poisoning lacing the supper with deadly substances; of child killers and spiteful witches, stories of women wholly and unnaturally wicked. These were printed or sung, tacked the walls of alehouses, sold in the streets for pennies and read voraciously to thrill all. But why? When the vast majority of murders then (and now) are committed by men. In this bold, page-turning new history, former police officer and historian Blessin Adams tells stories of women whose violent crimes shattered the narrow confines of their gender – and whose notoriety revealed a society that was at once repulsed by and attracted to murderous female rebellion. Based on detailed research in court archives, each chapter explores murders that thrilled and terrified the British public; the crimes that caused the most concern and provoked the most debate. Women in this period killed rarely, and when they did it was usually within the context of extreme provocation or domestic violence. Adams has the ability of the best crime novelists in recreating the setting in which each case occurred as well as the motivations of each perpetrator. Thou Savage Woman reminds us that women in the past had voices, that they sought to control their bodies and their environments and that they also had the capacity for committing acts of unspeakable violence.
Endgame
Bestselling YA author Melinda Salisbury delivers a hair-raising thriller as Ruby, Freya and Ivy team up to take down the Ash Tree Foundation once and for all. Ruby, Freya and Ivy are all survivors of the Ash Tree Foundation, an organisation that claimed to help teenagers deal with technology addiction but which was a front for a dangerously addictive augmented-reality platform, Novo Reality. Novo Reality was the brainchild of tech-baroness Dagmar Nilsson, who disappeared without trace when the Foundation was busted. But now, a year later, just as the girls are all preparing to start a new chapter of their lives, it becomes clear that Dagmar is continuing with her aim of world domination. Can the three friends draw her out of hiding and shut down the Foundation for good, or will Dagmar’s dream of controlling the world finally come true? Because the Endgame is coming, and someone is going down … Particularly suitable for readers aged 11+ with a reading age of 8.
