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...
In the Uttermost Parts of the Sea (EN)
An expedition was taking place to the other side of the sea: many boats had been sent to the North Pole to explore the sea and the ice. It was winter and over there the days ran into each other in perpetual darkness. The sailors were far from their family, their country and even from dry land. But the youngest sailor knew that he was not alone and that he never would be.

Niektorí hostia prišli na dovolenku, iných do Sea View priviedli ich vlastné skryté dôvody...
Keď sa po otcovej smrti ocitnú v chudobe, Sarah Summersová presvedčí svoje sestry, aby v rodičovskom dome pri mori zriadili penzión, lebo iba tak sa dokážu postarať o chorľavú matku. Emily a Georgiana súhlasia, ale Viole, ktorá nosí závoj, aby skryla svoju jazvu, sa ten nápad nepáči.
Sestry, odhodlané zostať spolu, sa pustia do podnikania. Namiesto starých invalidov, ktorých očakávajú, však vo svojom dome čoskoro hostia džentlmenov súcich na ženenie. Sarah váha medzi svojou silnejúcou náklonnosťou k tajomnému škótskemu vdovcovi a povinnosťou voči rodine. Nová situácia medzitým odhalí Violine jazvy — viditeľné aj skryté hlboko v nej — a jej uzavreté srdce sa navždy zmení.

As Jude grows older, she realises that she will need to take part in the dangerous deceptions of the fey to ever truly belong.
But the stairway to power is fraught with shadows and betrayal. And looming over all is the infuriating, arrogant and charismatic Prince Cardan . . .
Dramatic and thrilling fantasy blends seamlessly with enthralling storytelling to create a fully realised and seductive world, brimful of magic and romance.
Where Architects Stay at the Baltic Sea
The Baltic Sea has gained rapidly in importance as a travel destination in recent years. More and more people appreciate the diversity found among urban designer hubs, sleepy and cozy villages, and ever-changing coastal strips. The new volume in the series on design retreats shows destinations away from mass tourism with a focus around the Great Belt.
Both an architectural and a travel guide, this volume offers inspiration and promises to fulfill the longing for peace, solitude and variety - for holidays spent at a farmstead on the dyke, above the sea on a crane, or in a fancy loft in Copenhagen. The common denominators among all accommodations presented here are a convincing design and a special location by the Baltic Sea.
The Old Man and The Sea
The old man, whose name is Santiago, is a fisherman who lives alone near Havana. Incredibly poor, he sleeps in a shack and sets out each day on a small skiff to try to catch himself some fish to eat or sell. For awhile, the boy, named Manolin, accompanied the old man each day, to learn from him and assist him. Unfortunately, the old man went weeks without catching anything, so the boy's parents made him stop accompanying the old man. When the story begins, the boy is probably around twelve years old, and the old man has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish. The boy comes to his shack to talk to the old man about baseball, as they both greatly admire Joe DiMaggio, and supplies the old man might need. The boy likes to bring the old man whatever he can, such as food, bait, and clothing. He also helps the old man carry his heavy mast and sail out to his boat each morning. They drink a cup of coffee together before the old man heads out on his skiff alone.
