Plán úniku
V pokračování románu Druhý život Nicka Masona se hlavní hrdina snaží vymanit ze spárů zločineckého bosse, který zcela ovládá jeho život, zároveň však stále musí plnit smrtelně nebezpečné úkoly, aby neohrozil svoji rodinu.
Nick Mason byl postaven před vskutku těžko splnitelný úkol: má se vetřít do přísně tajného federálního programu na ochranu svědků, který doposud nikdo nedokázal infiltrovat, dostat se na kobylku trojici mužů, kvůli nimž putoval jeho šéf Darius Cole na doživotí za mříže, a zlikvidovat je.
Nejdřív je ovšem musí vypátrat – tyto ostře sledované osoby střeží na tajných místech čtyřiadvacet hodin denně po zuby ozbrojení maršálové federální vězeňské služby a čas ubíhá. Pokud tito tři zemřou, odejde Darius Cole ze soudní síně jako svobodný člověk. Ve snaze splnit svěřený úkol, dává Mason v sázku všechno, co má…
The Gloaming
'The best lives leave a mark.'
A bewitching tale of first love, shattering grief, and the dangerous magic that draws us home.
Mara's island is one of stories and magic, but every story ends in the same way. She will finish her days on the cliff, turned to stone and gazing out at the horizon like all the islanders before her.
Mara's parents - a boxer and a ballerina - chose this enchanted place as a refuge from the turbulence of their previous lives; they wanted to bring up their children somewhere special and safe. But the island and the sea don't care what people want, and when they claim a price from her family, Mara's world unravels.
It takes the arrival of Pearl, mysterious and irresistible, to light a spark in Mara again, and allow her to consider a different story for herself.
The Gloaming is a gorgeous tale of love and grief, and the gap between fairy tales and real life.

Bloody Brilliant People: The Couples And Partnerships That History Forgot
'Sometimes, 1+1 = changing the world. Cathy Newman's witty, warm history on the power of determined couples will make you look at your relationship and wonder, "Could we be doing more this weekend than just going to IKEA?"' CAITLIN MORAN
From rivals propelling each other forwards to friends combining their talents, it's clear: often two heads are better than one.
How did William and Ellen Craft work together to pull off a perilous cross-country escape from slavery? How did the queer artists Marcel Moore and Claude Cahun become icons of the surrealist movement, then heroines of the resistance in the Second World War? Why couldn't Steve Jobs have started Apple alone?
Vibrant, feminist and unexpected, Cathy Newman rewrites the history books to expose this strange power of two - and to ask why certain collaborators are so often left out of the narrative.
