Je posledná noc čínskeho roka, začína sa Rok prasaťa. Po odchode Eleny Blanco od polície vedie Útvar kriminálneho vyšetrovania Chesca. Plánuje zúčastniť sa veľkolepých osláv Nového roka spolu s Ángelom Záratem, ktorý však rande na poslednú chvíľu odriekne. Chesca sa na oslave zoznámi s istým mužom, strávi s ním noc, no na druhý deň sa prebudí spútaná v miestnosti, kde páchne ako v chlieve.
Keď sa ďalší deň nikomu z tímu nedarí s Chescou skontaktovať, začína sa pátranie. Na pomoc im prichádza aj Elena, ktorej priateľkino zmiznutie nie je ľahostajné. Ukáže sa, že Chesca pred všetkými skrýva krutú minulosť, ktorej sa chcela raz a navždy zbaviť. Elenu s tímom zavedú stopy na starú prasaciu farmu, kde si uvedomia, že Chescu vlastne nikdy poriadne nepoznali, a netušia, či ju stihnú ešte zachrániť.

Critical Hits
An anthology of essays on video games by some of today's best literary writers
Whether you're an avid gamer, a Twitch subscriber, or just an incidental Subway Surfer, video games have changed the way you interact with the world, and have been part of our lives for over fifty years. Critical Hits is a celebration of play and playfulness, and the lasting impact of videogames.
Composed of sharp, impassioned, and inquisitive essays, this collection begins with an introduction by Carmen Maria Machado and presents video games through the eyes of eighteen writer-gamers as they straddle real and artificial worlds. In games, they find solace from illness and grief, test ideas about language, bodies, race, and technology, and see their experiences and identities reflected in-or complicated by-the interactive virtual realities they inhabit.
From a deep dive into "portal fantasy" games by Charlie Jane Anders and a comic by MariNaomi about her time as a video game producer, to the overlaps in gaming and poetry by Stephen Sexton, Critical Hits illuminates fragments of an industry that is wildly popular, grossly misunderstood, and absolutely spellbinding.

From critically acclaimed writer Carmen Maria Machado (Her Body and Other Parties) comes The Low, Low Woods, from the smash-hit lineup of the Hill House Comics library.

The War Came To Us
The inside story of Ukraine's bravery and defiance in the face of Russian aggression, from the conflict's leading journalist. When President Putin ordered Russian troops to invade Ukraine, he unleashed a terror which struck at the very heart of Europe and broke the world order that had been in place since the fall of the Soviet Union. Financial Times reporter Christopher Miller has been embedded in Ukraine for 13 years and is one of the few journalists who knows Ukraine inside out, who was at the frontline in Crimea and who reported from bombed out Mariupol.
This book takes the reader from the coal-dusted, sunflower-covered steppe of the Donbas to the heart of the Euromaidan revolution camp in Kyiv; from the Black Sea shores of Crimea where Russian troops stealthily annexed Ukraine's peninsula to the bloody battlefields where warlords ruled with iron fists; to the destruction and terror wrought by Russian bombs in Bucha, Kharkiv, Mariupol, and beyond. This is the story of modern Ukraine and its transformation, as told through the lives of Ukrainians, their fears and struggles. It is Ukraine in all its glory: vast, weird, exhilarating, defiant, resilient, trying to escape the long shadow of its former imperial ruler while fighting to build a new future.

Hosszú idõ után most magyarul is újra olvashatjuk a nagy detektív bravúros nyomozásait.

A második történetben kegyetlen bankrablók után folyik a hajsza, amelynek során a mester kis híján ott hagyja a fogát. A harmadikban titkos iratok tûnnek el egy bank széfjébõl, és egy gátlástalan zsaroló is nehezíti Nick Carter dolgát.
