Nehas, čo ťa nepáli
Určite ste sami? Radšej sa obzrite.
Keď si myslíš, že si v bezpečí,
keď si myslíš, že si celkom sám,
práve vtedy si po teba príde...
Vrah sa zakráda po meste, vyberá si tých, ktorí sú v noci doma sami – a bez výčitiek svedomia, neľútostne ich vraždí. Keď mesto zachváti panika, inšpektorka Helen Graceová sa postaví na čelo vyšetrovania, ale aj sama sa stane korisťou – na každom kroku ju prenasleduje nemilosrdný vrah, túžiaci po pomste. Helen odteraz neurobí ani krok, aby sa neobzrela. Po vypátraní vraha Graceová nadobudne podozrenie, že sa ocitla na stope vskutku desivej pravdy, ktorá spája tieto brutálne zločiny...

Macska a nagy dobban - Derűs emlékezések
Teleki Sándor gróf (1821–1892) nevét minden magyar iskolás gyerek ismeri: az ő erdélyi birtokán, Koltón töltötte a halhatatlan barát, Petőfi Sándor és felesége a mézesheteket.
De Teleki Sándort önmagáért is érdemes ismerni. Jó tollú, jó kedélyű, kiváló humorú személyiség volt.
A macska a nagy dobban című kötet vidám visszaemlékezéseket tartalmaz.
Kto druhému jamu kope
Jeden anonymný telefonát, jedna hodina života
„Máš hodinu života.“ Nič viac vo výhražnom telefonáte nezaznie. Spojenie sa preruší. Je to nejaký kanadský žart? Omyl? Nesprávne číslo? Všetko je lepšie ako mrazivá skutočnosť, že vrah sliedi, čaká a usilovne pracuje na tom, aby do hodiny splnil svoju hrozbu.
Ale prečo to robí?
Hľadanie odpovede zostane na ostrieľanej hlavnej vyšetrovateľke Helen Graceovej, ktorá má s podobnými prípadmi bohaté skúsenosti. Lenže tentoraz si vrah majstrovsky udržiava náskok nielen pred obeťami, ale aj pred bezradnou políciou. Chýba motív, stopa, podozrenie. Hodina strachu je dlhá ako celý život.

The Ambassadors
History does not run in straight lines. Instead of inevitable progress, what we get is more often false starts, blind alleys, random events, good intentions that go wrong. Robert Cooper's incisive and elegant book is therefore not a continuous diplomatic history. Richelieu and Mazarin inhabited a 16th-century world we can hardly imagine today, but it is from their time that we can begin to see the outline of today's Europe.
The Ambassadors includes a brilliant analysis of the people who built the Western side of the Cold War. Henry Kissinger is a pivotal figure in the post-war world, and his story is in some ways typical: he failed in his most important aims and succeeded in ways he never expected. Robert Cooper's pieces together history and considers the illuminating fragments it leaves behind.
All of Us Villains
You Fell In Love With The Victors of The Hunger Games.
Now Prepare To Meet The Villains Of The Blood Veil.
After the publication of a salacious tell-all book, the remote city of Ilvernath is thrust into the spotlight. Tourists, protesters, and reporters alike flock to its spellshops and historic ruins to witness an ancient curse unfold: every generation, seven families name a champion among them to compete in a tournament to the death. The winner awards their family exclusive control over the city's high magick supply, the most powerful resource in the world.
In the past, the villainous Lowes have won nearly every tournament, and their champion is prepared to continue his family's reign. But this year, thanks to the influence of their newfound notoriety, each of the champions has a means to win. Or better yet--a chance to rewrite their story.
But this is a story that must be penned in blood.
Unrequited Infatuations
What story begins in a bedroom in suburban New Jersey in the early '60s, unfolds on some of the country's largest stages, and then ranges across the globe, demonstrating over and over again how Rock and Roll has the power to change the world for the better? This story.
The first true heartbeat of UNREQUITED INFATUATIONS is the moment when Stevie Van Zandt trades in his devotion to the Baptist religion for an obsession with Rock and Roll. Groups like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones created new ideas of community, creative risk, and principled rebellion. They changed him forever. While still a teenager, he met Bruce Springsteen, a like-minded outcast/true believer who became one of his most important friends and bandmates. As Miami Steve, Van Zandt anchored the E Street Band as they conquered the Rock and Roll world.
And then, in the early '80s, Van Zandt stepped away from E Street to embark on his own odyssey. He refashioned himself as Little Steven, a political songwriter and performer, fell in love with Maureen Santoro who greatly expanded his artistic palette, and visited the world's hot spots as an artist/journalist to not just better understand them, but to help change them. Most famously, he masterminded the recording of "Sun City," an anti-apartheid anthem that sped the demise of South Africa's institutionalized racism and helped get Nelson Mandela out of prison.
By the '90s, Van Zandt had lived at least two lives-one as a mainstream rocker, one as a hardcore activist. It was time for a third. David Chase invited Van Zandt to be a part of his new television show, the Sopranos-as Silvio Dante, he was the unconditionally loyal consiglieri who sat at the right hand of Tony Soprano (a relationship that oddly mirrored his real-life relationship with Bruce Springsteen).
Underlying all of Van Zandt's various incarnations was a devotion to preserving the centrality of the arts, especially the endangered species of Rock. In the twenty-first century, Van Zandt founded a groundbreaking radio show (Underground Garage), a fiercely independent record label (Wicked Cool), and developed a curriculum to teach students of all ages through the medium of music history. He also rejoined the E Street Band for what has now been a twenty-year victory lap.
UNREQUITED INFATUATIONS chronicles the twists and turns of Stevie Van Zandt's always surprising life. It is more than just the testimony of a globe-trotting nomad, more than the story of a groundbreaking activist, more than the odyssey of a spiritual seeker, and more than a master class in rock and roll (not to mention a dozen other crafts). It's the best book of its kind because it's the only book of its kind.
Sorrow and Bliss
Everyone tells Martha Friel she is clever and beautiful, a brilliant writer who has been loved every day of her adult life by one man, her husband Patrick. A gift, her mother once said, not everybody gets.
So why is everything broken? Why is Martha - on the edge of 40 - friendless, practically jobless and so often sad? And why did Patrick decide to leave?
Maybe she is just too sensitive, someone who finds it harder to be alive than most people. Or maybe - as she has long believed - there is something wrong with her. Something that broke when a little bomb went off in her brain, at 17, and left her changed in a way that no doctor or therapist has ever been able to explain.
Forced to return to her childhood home to live with her dysfunctional, bohemian parents (but without the help of her devoted, foul-mouthed sister Ingrid), Martha has one last chance to find out whether a life is ever too broken to fix - or whether, maybe, by starting over, she will get to write a better ending for herself.
Faster Than A Cannonball
Decades tend to crest halfway through, and 1995 was the year of the Nineties: peak Britpop (Oasis v Blur), peak YBA (Tracey Emin's tent), peak New Lad (when Nick Hornby published High Fidelity, when James Brown's Loaded detonated the publishing industry, and when pubs were finally allowed to stay open on a Sunday). It was the year of The Bends, the year Danny Boyle started filming Trainspotting, the year Richey Edwards went missing, the year Alex Garland wrote The Beach, the year Blair changed Clause IV after a controversial vote at the Labour Conference.
Not only was the mid-Nineties perhaps the last time that rock stars, music journalists and pop consumers held onto a belief in rock's mystical power, it was a period of huge cultural upheaval - in art, literature, publishing and drugs. And it was a period of almost unparalleled hedonism, a time when many people thought they deserved to live the rock and roll lifestyle, when a generation of narcotic omnivores thought they could all be rock stars just by buying a magazine and a copy of (What's the Story) Morning Glory?
Faster Than a Cannonball is a cultural swipe of the decade from loungecore to the rise of New Labour, teasing all the relevant artistic strands through interviews with all the major protagonists and exhaustive re-evaluations of the important records of the year - The Bends by Radiohead, Grand Prix by Teenage Fanclub, Maxinquaye by Tricky, Different Class by Pulp, The Great Escape by Blur, It's Great When You're Straight... Yeah! by Black Grape, Exit Planet Dust by the Chemical Brothers, I Should Coco by Supergrass, Elastica by Elastica, Pure Phase by Spiritualized, ...I Care Because You Do by Aphex Twin and of course (What's the Story) Morning Glory by Oasis, the most iconic album of the decade.

Vadí - nevadí
Kriminalita v meste zvláštne narastá, ešte nikdy nebolo v uliciach toľko násilia a nepokojov. Podpaľačstvo v dokoch. Dobodaný muž v aute. Vražda v mestskom parku.

Všetky trestné činy sú očividne iba dielikmi skladačky a postupne zapadajú na svoje miesto. Pomaly vychádza najavo, aká zvrátená a dômyselná je celá sieť zločinov.
Vtedy si Helen uvedomí, že sa jej ju možno nikdy nepodarí rozmotať.
