Who Will Tell My Story?
A moving account of life in Palestine in the wake of the events of October 7th.''Who Will Tell My Story? finds beauty and grace amongst the rubble while never shying away from the brutal realities of living through such relentless and cruel oppression.'' NIKESH SHUKLAIt was a sleepless night full of tears and fear . . . I am not sure – if I make it out alive – if I will still possess what makes me, me. And I wonder: will I be there in the future, or will I be someone to be remembered in a diary or over a cup of tea by a friend after I am gone?Who Will Tell My Story? presents an ordinary existence interrupted by unfathomably seismic and unjust events. On the ground during the first months of the assault on Gaza following the events of 7 October, the author of this diary – first published in The Guardian – maps out the physical and psychological terrain of a life under siege.Traversing the bombed ruins of his country, we see him as he searches for foodstuffs and power to charge devices, maintaining contact with the outside world, checking in with his friends and family along the way; we see his heart swing between despair and faith, fear and optimism, his mind imagining different futures and confronting the brutal truth of his present.Shining a light on the fate of all those living through war and occupation, Who Will Tell My Story? conveys with astonishing clarity how seeds of hope might linger amid the most trying of times.

I Am A Mob Boss
I could''ve died a thousand times. People were out to get me, as they always are when you run the show.It''s kind of silly that it''s cancer that''s going to get me, but now I know the end''s not going to come from a sudden bullet to the skull one night, at least I have enough time to tell my story.It''s a story that would have had me locked up long ago, if anyone knew I was at the top.It all started innocently enough, with a few smash-and-grabs and some card games, but then moved into armed robbery and then eventually drugs. And that''s when things changed. When the money came rolling in. When we would do anything to hold onto power.This is my last confession. A way to atone for what I''ve done. Let it be a lesson to you.
Eunuchs and Nymphomaniacs
You've never seen romance do this before. So brutally honest and breathtakingly perverse you'll want to throw this book at the wall, but you'll also want to know if it can possibly get any more disturbing (it can and it does). And as you start to wonder whether men and women were ever even meant to be together, a surprise ending brings the trilogy full circle and provides unexpected closure to an issue raised by a certain photographer's assistant in the first book. Eunuchs and Nymphomaniacs is about how we love today and how increasingly we try to avoid it altogether.

Október 2016
Do volieb amerického prezidenta zostáva len zopár týždňov. Novinárka Grace Elliottová získala senzačnú informáciu a je presvedčená, že si tým naštartuje kariéru. Istá bývalá pornoherečka je totiž ochotná prehovoriť o svojom romániku s mužom, ktorý sa na radosť niekoľkých a zdesenie mnohých môže stať ďalším americkým prezidentom.
O uverejnenie rozhovoru však odrazu nikto nemá záujem. Dokonca ani Gracein šéf, pravicovo naladený vydavateľ veľkého amerického bulvárneho denníka. Namiesto toho vyšle Grace do Európy. Sprevádza Elenu, bývalú manželku prezidentského kandidáta, do jej rodnej krajiny a chce o nej napísať knihu. Aj tam – v Čechách – však Grace nečakane narazí na niečo také veľké, že to môže ovplyvniť americké prezidentské voľby, ba dokonca vyvolať novú studenú vojnu. Pravda, ak investigatívna novinárka zostane nažive a neuveriteľný príbeh o jednom z najväčších sprisahaní všetkých čias zverejní.

Fedőneve - Jégmadár
Kinek a zsebében van a világ legbefolyásosabb politikusa?
Kémek, egy gyilkosság és a közelmúlt legnagyobb összeesküvése egy meghökkentő politikai történetben.
Jégmadár elsőosztályú női titkosügynök. Küldetése, hogy elcsábítson egy vagyonos és politikai körökben befolyásos férfit, majd elérje, hogy feleségül vegye.
2016 októbere. Az Egyesült Államokban már csak néhány hét van a választásokig. Grace Elliott újságíró forró nyomon jár: egy pornósztár hajlandó interjút adni arról, hogy azzal a férfival szűrte össze a levet, aki a következő amerikai elnök lehet.
Túl kényes téma: senki sem meri bolygatni. Még Grace főnöke sem, a piacvezető amerikai pletykalap kiadója. Grace Európában egy másik robbanásveszélyes sztorira bukkan. Ha nyilvánosságra hozza, ezzel eldöntheti az elnökválasztás kimenetelét, és egy újabb hidegháború veheti kezdetét.
A szerző korábban elismert újságíróként dolgozott, jelenleg híres író. Nem vállalhatta fel a nevét, hogy megvédje informátorait. A regény 2018 októberében jelent meg angolul, németül, és a magyar megjelenéssel csaknem egyidőben további tizenöt országban lát napvilágot.
"Lebilincselő... ez a történet egy igazi tükörlabirintus: remek mulatság." - Globe and Mail
"Olyan ez a könyv, mint egy magánrepülőgép, amely egyszerre száll le és fel a világpolitika összes fontosabb helyszínén." - Toronto Star
"Lehengerlő thriller... tele csavarokkal és hamis nyomokkal. Bár az igazság utáni információk világában a valóság sokszor megszégyeníti az írói képzeletet, ez a történet sikerrel rúg labdába, akár az utolsó szóig igaz, akár csak végtelenül hihető." - Kirkus Reviews
