Ana a Reid potřebují, aby se na ně konečně usmálo štěstí.
Po děsivě komplikovaném porodu jejich prvního dítěte je Ana ochrnutá a zahořklá a musí se potýkat s omezeními života na vozíku, se svým vztahem k Reidovi a s odporem k jejich dítěti. To vše mají změnit slova, které by rád slyšel každý Newyorčan: loterie o dostupné bydlení.

Reid přehlíží znepokojující události a Aniny hluboké obavy a paranoiu jako cenu za život v New Yorku – lidé jsou divní –, ale nedokáže vysvětlit kousance podobné vpichům na těle miminka.

Napísané krvou
Keď si zapíše vaše meno, je to rozsudok smrti...
Los Angeles, 5. decembra – presne tri týždne do Vianoc. Angela Woodová, majsterka vreckárskeho umenia, práve skončila svoj dnešný lov – šesťstoosemdesiatsedem dolárov. Slušný zárobok za necelých pätnásť minút práce. Oslavuje úspešný deň s lahodným kokteilom v ruke, keď jej pozornosť upúta jeden z návštevníkov baru, ktorý sa veľmi hrubo správa k postaršiemu pánovi. Angela sa rozhodne dať arogantnému mužovi príučku a ukradne mu na pohľad drahú koženú tašku. Taška však neobsahuje peniaze, notebook ani nič cenné – aspoň nie pre Angelu. Len nezvyčajne ťažký čierny zápisník viazaný v koži. Zvedavosť nakoniec zvíťazí a v pohodlí svojho bytu Angela prelistuje svoj úlovok. A v tej chvíli sa pre ňu začína najdesivejšia nočná mora jej života. Nie je to totiž obyčajný zápisník. A jeho majiteľ ho bude chcieť získať späť za každú cenu.

Jakob: V tieni polárnej žiary
Vianoce sú tie najneľútostnejšie sviatky
V Ísafjördure nastalo najtmavšie obdobie roka. Vianoce sa blížia, no desivé udalosti narušia pokoj miestnych obyvateľov. V rybích sádkach v Západných fjordoch nájdu rozožratú mŕtvolu. Detektívka Hildur Rúnarsdóttirová s fínskym policajným stážistom Jakobom Johansonom ešte len rozbehnú vyšetrovanie a v inom odľahlom kúte Islandu sa už stane podobne bizarná vražda. Čoskoro pribudne tretí prípad.
Pri vyšetrovaní série krutých násilných činov Hildur trápi, že stále nepozná osud svojej prostrednej sestry Rósy. Jakob, naopak, robí všetko pre to, aby vyhral náročný spor o starostlivosť o syna. Ako ďaleko je schopný zájsť a kedy už ani najlepší úmysel nesvätí prostriedky? Hildur nad tým musí premýšľať po tom, ako z fínskej policajnej stanice v Kolari dostane ten najhorší možný telefonát.
Z fínskeho originálu Jakob (Werner Söderström Osakeyhtiö, Helsinki, 2023) preložil Andrej Števko.

The Housemaid
"Welcome to the family," Nina Winchester says as I shake her elegant, manicured hand. I smile politely, gazing around the marble hallway. Working here is my last chance to start fresh. I can pretend to be whoever I like. But I'll soon learn that the Winchesters' secrets are far more dangerous than my own...
Every day I clean the Winchesters' beautiful house top to bottom. I collect their daughter from school. And I cook a delicious meal for the whole family before heading up to eat alone in my tiny room on the top floor.
I try to ignore how Nina makes a mess just to watch me clean it up. How she tells strange lies about her own daughter. And how her husband Andrew seems more broken every day. But as I look into Andrew's handsome brown eyes, so full of pain, it's hard not to imagine what it would be like to live Nina's life. The walk-in closet, the fancy car, the perfect husband.
I only try on one of Nina's pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it's like. But she soon finds out... and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it's far too late.
But I reassure myself: the Winchesters don't know who I really am.
They don't know what I'm capable of...
The Wax Child
Unlike anything you’ve read before, The Wax Child is an extraordinary tale of witchcraft from one of the most visionary writers at work today
It was a black night in the year 1620 when Christenze Krukow made the wax child, when she melted down beeswax and set it in the image of a small human. For days, she carried it tucked beneath her arm, shaping it with the warmth of her flesh, giving it life. She fashioned for it eyes and ears that cannot open, and yet – it watches and listens.
It looks on as Christenze is haunted by rumour, it hears what the people whisper. It sees how, in the candlelight, she gazes with love at her friends, and hears the things they say in the shadows. It knows pine forest, misty fjord and the crackle of the burning pyre. It observes the violence in men’s eyes and the cruelty of their laws. In time, it begins to understand that once a suspicion of witchcraft has taken hold, it can prove impossible to shake…
Based on an infamous seventeenth century Danish witch trial, The Wax Child is the extraordinary new novel from Olga Ravn, one of the most acclaimed and original writers at work today: a mesmerising, frightening vision of a time when witches and magic were as real to the human mind as soil and seawater.
