Bucholz and the Detectives
The following pages narrate a story of detective experience, which, in many respects, is alike peculiar and interesting, and one which evinces in a marked degree the correctness of one of the cardinal principles of my detective system, viz.: "That crime can and must be detected by the pure and honest heart obtaining a controlling power over that of the criminal."

The Castle of Otranto
The Castle of Otranto is a 1764 novel by Horace Walpole. It is generally regarded as the first gothic novel, and it was indeed the first novel to describe itself by that term. Castle is thus generally credited with initiating the Gothic literary genre, one that would become extremely popular in the later 18th century and early 19th century. Thus, Walpole is arguably the forerunner of such authors as Charles Robert Maturin, Ann Radcliffe, Bram Stoker, and Daphne du Maurier.

SEVERSKÁ KRIMI Z OPRAVDOVÉHO SEVERU…
Ropná pole na severu Aljašky patří k nejdrsnějším místům na planetě a práce na nich, třebaže dobře placená, není ani snadná, ani příjemná. Tma, zima, sníh a k tomu civilizace tisíc kilometrů daleko. Není divu, že krédo těžařů zní: Po pořádné dřině pořádná zábava.
Před alkoholem a hazardem vedení obvykle přivírá oči, ale nad sérií podezřelých předávkování už Royal Petroleum Company rukou mávnout nemůže. Nejde totiž jen o zdraví zaměstnanců, ale především o bezpečnost celého regionu.
Společnost najme soukromou vyšetřovatelku Kate Shugakovou, aby v utajení zjistila, kdo a jakým způsobem zásobuje těžaře kokainem. A to se dealerovi pochopitelně líbit nebude. Obzvlášť když Kate přijde na to, že drogy nejsou ani zdaleka to nejlukrativnější zboží, které pašuje.
Nejnávykovější látkou ze všech jsou totiž peníze a i ten, kdo jich má dost, chce vždycky víc…

Lacná kniha The Dead Are Arising: The Life of Malcolm X (-90%)
A landmark biography of one of the twentieth century's most compelling figures, rewriting much of the known narrative.
Les Payne, the renowned Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist, embarked in 1990 on a nearly thirty-year-long quest to interview anyone he could find who had actually known Malcolm X - including siblings, classmates, friends, cellmates, FBI moles and cops, and political leaders around the world. His goal was ambitious: to transform what would become hundreds of hours of interviews into a portrait that would separate fact from fiction.
The result is this magisterial work that conjures a never-before-seen world of its protagonist, whose title is inspired by a phrase Malcolm X used when he saw his followers stir with purpose to overcome the obstacles of racism. Setting his life not only within the political struggles of his day but also against the larger backdrop of American history, this remarkable masterpiece traces his path from street criminal to devoted moralist and revolutionary.
An author who saw Malcolm X speak and could not stand the phrase 'we may never know', Payne writes cinematically from start to finish and delivers extraordinary revelations - from a hair-raising scene of Malcolm's clandestine meeting with the KKK, to a minute-by-minute account of his murder in Harlem in 1965, in which he makes the case for the complicity of the American government.
Introduced by Payne's daughter and primary researcher, Tamara Payne, who, following her father's death, heroically completed the biography, The Dead Are Arising is a penetrating and riveting work that affirms the centrality of Malcolm X to the African American freedom struggle and the story of the twentieth century.

The Last New Yorkers
In the decade following its completion in 1909, New York's once-tallest building, the Metropolitan Life Insurance Tower, suffered a series of unfortunate mishaps. In rapid succession it was exposed to poisonous gases, submerged under twenty thousand feet of water, struck by the tail of a comet, and transported back in time to the pre-Columbian era. Each time, the building somehow emerged intact.

The Price of Existence
Ever since the dawn of mankind, some primal instinct drives us to find proof that we are not alone in this world.
Although billions of people populated the Earth, we still felt alone. We built spaceships and searched on, leaving our home planet. We wanted to see into the distance through the light-years.
But why? What is that longing encoded in our genes that makes us look ever further? Why do we obsessively believe that we cannot possibly be the only sapient civilization in this incomprehensibly big world? After so many disappointments why does our belief still hold, stronger than our life-instincts?
Why are we gazing at the star-studded night sky and ask ourselves again and again – you out there, who we’ve been searching for since time immemorial, which planet do you live on, where should we go?
And what’s next when we find the much-desired answer to these questions?
If those that we’ve been waiting for for so long come to us…will we survive?
The day has come.
The day of the last war.
