Beavatás a magyar észjárásba
A Beavatás a magyar észjárásba az első magyar nyelvrégészeti kötet.A régész kiássa a tárgyakat, ill. azok töredékeit, a nyelvrégészet leletei közszájon forognak, csak éppen valamiért elkerülte figyelmünket bizonyos szavak és kifejezések sokasága, egymáshoz való viszonya, a szerkezetekben és egyéb nyelvi elemekben megőrződött értemények, hitemlékek, szokások, észjárás, világszemlélet – és így tovább. A nyelvrégész megtisztítja a szavakat-szólásokat a megszokás porától.Néhány fejezetcím: A magyar észjárásról, Révül-e a révész? Nyelv és zene, A magyar nyelv lelkéről, Gondolás, továbbá Szótárak szóbeszédünk csodás bőségéről.Egyetlen példa a könyvben szereplő ezernyi lelet közül. Kínai és mongol régészek számos hun sírban találtak a csontváz alatt nyílhegyeket. A hunok ivadékai, az ujgurok napjainkban is belelőnek a sírba a tetem lebocsátása előtt, hogy a rossz szellemeket elriasszák. Ugyanezt tették régen a székelyek is, mi pedig máig azt mondjuk az elhunytra: lőttek neki.

In his first case since he left the LAPD's Open Unsolved Unit for the prestigious Homicide Special squad, Harry Bosch is called out to investigate a murder that may have chilling consequences for national security. A doctor with access to a dangerous radioactive substance is found murdered in the trunk of his car. Retracing his steps, Harry learns that a large quantity of radioactive cesium was stolen shortly before the doctor's death. With the cesium in unknown hands, Harry fears the murder could be part of a terrorist plot to poison a major American city. Soon, Bosch is in a race against time, not only against the culprits, but also against the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI (in the form of Harry's one-time lover Rachel Walling), who are convinced that this case is too important for the likes of the LAPD. It is Bosch's job to prove all of them wrong.

Of The Farm
In this short novel, Joey Robinson, a thirty-five-year-old New Yorker, describes a visit he makes, with his second wife and eleven-year-old stepson, to the Pennsylvania farm where he grew up and where his aging mother now lives alone. For three days, a quartet of voices explores the air, making confessions, seeking alignments, quarreling, pleading, and pardoning. They are not entirely alone: ghosts (fathers, lovers, children) press upon them, as do phantoms from the near future (nurses, lawyers, land developers). Of the Farm concerns the places people choose to live their lives, and the strategies they use to stand their ground.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Skutečná událost
Hlavní postavy románu jsou tři kamarádi. Jeden z nich – vypravěč – se ocitá v Oslu těsně po tragické střelbě na ostrově. Na cestu si bere jako četbu do letadla knihu o německé teroristické skupině RAF. Z tíživé atmosféry se vrací zpátky do Prahy, aby zjistil, že jednomu z trojice zabavilo kvůli banální pohledávce exekutorské komando dům a ještě k tomu mu jen tak pro zábavu vyděsili ženu natolik, že skončila v psychiatrické léčebně. Kamarádi se sejdou, aby podpořili postiženého. Z nezávazně odlehčené konverzace vznikne položertem plán, jak se proti státní zvůli bránit. Jeden z trojice se však rozhodne plán dotáhnout. Jak je u autora obvyklé, nejde o přímočarý příběh. V ději se mísí útržky z historie německé RAF s letargickou českou realitou, milostná zápletka s vůlí aspoň jednou udělat něco, co by postihlo pravého viníka. Zprvu ležérně, leč se smyslem pro detail líčený děj postupně získává na napětí, až vyvrcholí akcí. Sice tak trochu nechtěnou, českou, rozpačitou, nicméně vraždou. Hakl zůstává věrný žánrové nezařaditelnosti. Poprvé se však v jeho próze objevuje aktivní prvek – čin jako jediné možné řešení.

Frost
Válečný mág Zikmund Frost se místo prohánění sukní musí zase jednou věnovat práci pro Organizaci. Což mimo jiné obnáší eliminaci čarodějů a dalších potvor. Někdo na něj ale přichystal podraz. Zdánlivě běžná akce v brněnském pavilonu Anthropos se proto zvrhne v krvavou lázeň. Aby toho nebylo málo, na scénu přichází opravdu mocný hráč z dávné minulosti. V Býčí skále u Adamova tak po staletích opět zní nejen bušení kladiv, ale i zoufalý křik rituálních lidských obětí. Jisté je, že než Frost zjistí, kdo za tím vším stojí, bude muset vystřílet ještě hodně zásobníků. A taky přivolat posily. Naštěstí ví, kde je hledat. Na historickém pomezí Čech a Moravy stával v bažinách hrad Krotenful. A strážil jej někdo, s kým si skutečně není radno zahrávat.
