The Enigma of Room 622
It all starts with an innocuous curiosity: at the Hotel de Verbier, a luxury hotel in the Swiss Alps, there is no Room 622.
This anomaly piques the interest of Joël Dicker, Switzerland's most famous literary star, who flees to the Verbier to recover from a bad breakup, mourn the death of his publisher, and begin his next novel.
Before he knows it, he's coaxed out of his slump by a fellow guest, who quickly uncovers the reason behind Room 622's erasure: an unsolved murder. The attendant circumstances: a love triangle and a power struggle at the heart of Switzerland's largest private bank, a mysterious counter-intelligence unit known only as P-30, and a shadowy émigré with more money than God.
A Russian doll of a mystery crafted with the precision of a Swiss watch, The Enigma of Room 622 is Joël Dicker's most diabolically addictive thriller yet.
The Disappearance of Stephanie Mailer
A twisting new thriller from the author of The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair
In the summer of 1994, the quiet seaside town of Orphea reels from the discovery of four murders.
Two young police officers, Jesse Rosenberg and Derek Scott crack the case and identify the killer.
Then, twenty years later and just as he is on the point of taking early retirement, Rosenberg is approached by Stephanie Mailer, a journalist who believes he made a mistake back in 1994 and that the real murderer is still out there, perhaps ready to strike again. But before she can give any more details, Stephanie Mailer mysteriously disappears, and Rosenberg and Scott are forced to confront the possibility that her suspicions might have been proved true.
What happened to Stephanie Mailer?
What did she know?
And what really happened in Orphea all those years ago?
Translated from the French by Howard Curtis

Zmizení Stephanie Mailerové
V červenci 1994 je ospalé lázeňské městečko Orphea ve státě New York zburcováno děsivou událostí: ve vlastním domě je zavražděn starosta s celou svou rodinou, zabita je i svědkyně zločinu. Vyšetřování několikanásobné vraždy dostane na starost dvojice mladých ambiciózních policistů, Jesse Rosenberg a Derek Scott. Dopadnou a usvědčí vraha, za což získají povýšení i vyznamenání.
Jenomže počátkem léta 2014 přijde za Jessem novinářka Stephanie Mailerová a oznámí mu, že tenkrát před dvaceti lety obvinil nesprávnou osobu. Načež ona sama za záhadných okolností zmizí.
Zmiznutie Stephanie Mailerovej
Pokojným prímorským mestečkom Orpha v štáte New York otriasla 30. júla 1994 hrôzostrašná udalosť – vražda primátora a jeho rodiny, ako aj náhodnej svedkyne zločinu, mladej bežkyne. Vyšetrovanie zločinu vedie štátna polícia. Schopní a ambiciózni vyšetrovatelia pomerne rýchlo vypátrajú vraha, za čo si vyslúžia uznanie nadriadených a dokonca vyznamenanie. Lenže po dvadsiatich rokoch, začiatkom leta v roku 2014, novinárka Stephanie Mailerová tvrdí, sa zmýlili a obvinili nevinného človeka. Mladá žena vzápätí za záhadných okolností zmizne. Zmiznutie Stephanie Mailerovej je ďalším napínavým detektívnym príbehom švajčiarskeho spisovateľa Joëla Dickera, úspešného autora bestsellera Pravda o afére Harryho Queberta.

Kniha o Baltimorských
Kniha o Baltimorských je třetím románem švýcarského, francouzsky píšícího autora Joëla Dickera. Na rozdíl od jeho předchozího bestselleru Pravda o případu Harryho Queberta nemá detektivní zápletku, ač napětí v něm rozhodně nechybí. Děj této rodinné ságy nazíráme opět pohledem mladého úspěšného spisovatele Marcuse Goldmana, který se tentokrát vrací do dob a krajin svého dětství, aby se vyznal z obdivu a lásky k těm, kterým říká Baltimorští – tedy ke druhé větvi rodiny Goldmanů, svému strýci, tetě a bratrancům. Byly to osobnosti pro běh jeho života zcela určující: byli bohatí, úspěšní, krásní, laskaví – a zdánlivě naprosto a neochvějně šťastní. Prostřednictvím vzpomínek a reminiscencí z dětství a dospívání, objevování zasutých rodinných tajemství a vlastní rekonstrukce toho, co mu bylo zamlčováno, Marcus zkoumá důvody a osudové náhody, které přes období dostatku a harmonie nakonec vedly k rozkladu, pádu a tragédii. Je to kniha vyrovnávání se s velkou ztrátou i s rolí věčně chudého příbuzného, ale i román o ztrácené a nalézané lásce a o cestě k sobě samému.

A Baltimore fiúk
A kamasz Marcus mindennél jobban csodálja két unokafivérét: a szikrázóan intelligens Hillelt és az örökbe fogadott, zabolátlan, ám nyílt szívű Woddyt. Elválaszthatatlan hármasuk egyensúlya felborul, amikor barátságot kötnek a gyönyörű és izgalmas Alexandrával, aki mindegyikük szívét megdobogtatja. Érzéseik azután sem halványulnak, hogy egyetemre mennek, és elkerülhetetlenül sodródni kezdenek a Tragédia felé. Nyolc évvel később Az igazság a Harry Quebert-ügyről elbeszélője visszatér ifjúkora színhelyére, hogy regénnyé formálja a múltat. Amint munka közben újabb és újabb titkok sejlenek fel, lassan kirajzolódik előtte a Tragédia és a családja igazi története; a családé, amelyben az összetartással együtt a féltékenység és a versengés is apáról fiúra száll. Joël Dicker 1985-ben született Svájcban, jogászként végzett, regényeit franciául írja. 2012-ben jelent meg Az igazság a Harry Quebert-ügyben című regénye, melyet több mint harminc nyelvre fordítottak le, és többek között Gouncourt- és Femina-díjra jelölték. Ez a harmadik regénye.

Truth About The Harry Quebert Affair
August 30, 1975. The day of the disappearance. The day Somerset, New Hampshire, lost its innocence. That summer, struggling author Harry Quebert fell in love with fifteen-year-old Nola Kellergan. Thirty-three years later, her body is dug up from his yard, along with a manuscript copy of the novel that made him a household name. Quebert is the only suspect. Marcus Goldman - Quebert's most gifted protege - throws off his writer's block to clear his mentor's name. Solving the case and penning a new bestseller soon merge into one. As his book begins to take on a life of its own, the nation is gripped by the mystery of 'The Girl Who Touched the Heart of America'. But with Nola, in death as in life, nothing is ever as it seems.
Pravda o afére Harryho Queberta
Úspešný mladý spisovateľ Marcus Goldman prechádza tvorivou krízou, písanie sa mu nedarí, zato termín odovzdania rukopisu súri čoraz väčšmi. Obráti sa teda na svojho bývalého profesora Harryho Queberta – aj on je slávnym spisovateľom, no žije už v ústraní na vidieku.
Profesor pozve Marcusa k sebe, debatujú o živote, o písaní, až kým vidiecku idylku nenaruší udalosť, čo všetko zvráti: Queberta obvinia z vraždy dievčaťa, ktoré je nezvestné už tridsať rokov, a jeho mŕtvolu nájdu zakopanú pred profesorovým domom. Marcus je presvedčený o nevine svojho mentora, namiesto písania sa pustí do pátrania.

The Alaska Sanders Affair
"One of the world's most original voices in crime fiction"
A. J. Finn, #1 bestselling author of The Woman in the Window
The murder of Alaska Sanders was quickly solved. Within days, two suspects were identified. One died, the other pleaded guilty. Case closed.
But, eleven years later, the death of another woman in a fast-food parking lot changes everything. Marcus Goldman, celebrity author and amateur investigator, picks up a thread that will unravel not only an open and shut case, but the very fabric of his best friend's life.
Sergeant Perry Gahalowood, who led the original investigation, is hell-bent on setting the record straight. Teaming up with Marcus, he seeks redemption in most the intricate and testing case of his career.
In this sequel to the phenomenal worldwide bestseller The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair, Joel Dicker delivers the last word in slow-burn police procedurals. Clue by clue, witness by witness, question by question, his characters solve an unguessable puzzle that could only have been set by the master of the plot twist.
