Psycho by the Sea
In the latest installment of this prize-winning crime mystery series, our trio of redoubtable detectives are faced with the arrival in town of an escaped convict...
It's September in Brighton and the town is playing host to weeks of endless rain and lashings of villainy.
A trusted member of a local gang has disappeared part way through planning a huge heist; a violent criminal obsessed with hunting policemen has escaped Broadmoor and is rumoured to be headed towards the town, while at Gosling's department store an American researcher has been found dead in the music section.
Inspector Steine has other things on his mind as he typically bathes in unearned glory, but Sergeant Brunswick and Constable 'Clever Clogs' Twitten are both on the case.
If only they could work out just who is behind these dastardly acts...

Pekelný kocour
Alec, starý knihovník, odjede do domku na pobřeží, aby se lépe a v klidu vyrovnal se smrtí své ženy. Bohužel si však s sebou vezme osobní počítač svého kolegy z knihovny, a to, co v něm najde, mu jakýkoli klid na rozjímání a vzpomínky vezme. Ve složkách harddisku se nachází příběh herce jménem Wiggy, muže, který se setkal s mluvícím kocourem. Onen kocour nebyl Mikeš, ale Roger, kočičí ztělesnění samotného ďábla, zvíře s velice temnou minulostí a ještě děsivější současností. Kniha je vhodná jak pro kočkomily, tak pro lidi, kteří kočky nenávidí; možná je v jejich názorech utvrdí, ale taky je možná vyvede z předsudků a zažitých představ. Lynne Trussová je odbornicí na anglický jazyk a jeho gramatiku. Dříve moderovala rozhlasový pořad Cutting a Dash, jenž se zabýval interpunkcí, a napsala bestseler Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation s obdobnou tematikou, ale štědrou dávkou humoru.

Cat out of Hell
By acclaimed storyteller Lynne Truss, author of the bestselling Eats, Shoots and Leaves, the mesmerising tale of a cat with nine lives, and a relationship as ancient as time itself and just as powerful. The scene: a cottage on the coast on a windy evening. Inside, a room with curtains drawn. Tea has just been made. A kettle still steams. Under a pool of yellow light, two figures face each other across a kitchen table. A man and a cat. The story about to be related is so unusual yet so terrifyingly plausible that it demands to be told in a single sitting. The man clears his throat, and leans forward, expectant. 'Shall we begin?' says the cat...
