Tanner és Louise majdnem igaz története
A huszonegy éves Tanner Quimby sürgősen lakhatást keres, lehetőleg olyan helyen, ahol továbbra is egész nap melegítőalsóban heverészhet, és videójátékozhat. Mivel meglehetősen rossz anyagi helyzetben van, erősen korlátozottak a lehetőségei – így, amikor szinte az ölébe hull a gondozói állás egy idős nő mellett, megragadja az alkalmat, még ha egy porcikája sem kívánja, hogy egy „öregasszonnyal” éljen egy fedél alatt.
Louise Wilt egyik lánya ragaszkodott ahhoz, hogy valaki éjjel-nappal felügyelje az édesanyját.
A két nő eleinte viszonylagos közönyben él egymás mellett – mígnem Tanner különös dolgokra lesz figyelmes. Például: miért van a kerti fészer olyan szigorúan bezárva, mintha börtön volna…? Miért hasonlít kísértetiesen Louise-ra a helyi híradásban szereplő, minden idők egyik legnagyobb amerikai ékszerrablásának gyanúsítottja…? És miért jelenik meg Louise hajnali egy órakor Tanner szobájában, bepakolt bőrönddel, és ragaszkodik ahhoz, hogy azonnal hagyják el a házat…?
Így veszi kezdetét a szeretettel, humorral és szellemes párbeszédekkel átitatott történet egy korántsem alábecsülendő képességekkel megáldott idős hölgyről, és egy céltalan fiatal lányról, akik együtt életük egyik legnagyobb kalandjára indulnak...
A fordulat
A Long Island-i tengerparton fekvő Mattaukban három középkorú nő egyszer csak ráébred, hogy élete delén egészen újfajta képességeket fedezhet fel magában.
A megözvegyült Nessa James, az egykori ápolónő hangokat kezd hallani. Képessége, amelyet nagyanyjától örökölt, rendkívüli felelősséggel jár.
Harriett Osborne, a reklámügynökség-vezető nemrégen élte át házassága és jövedelmező karrierje összeomlását. Hónapok óta ki sem tette a lábát a házból, de Harriett rájön, hogy élete korántsem ért véget: valójában elképesztő és egészen örömteli átalakuláson ment át.
A korábban igazgatói beosztásban dolgozó Jo Levison harminc hosszú éven át viaskodott a testével. A menopauza kínzó tünetei az utolsó csepp a pohárban, amíg rá nem ébred, hogy irányítani is tudja ezeket, és végre igazán erős lesz.
Aztán egy nap a Nessa számára hallható hangok útmutatásával a három nő egy félreeső tengerparti szakaszon rátalál egy holttestre… A rendőrség hivatalos álláspontját nem hajlandók elfogadni, és a tettes után nyomozva újabb holttesteket találnak… A szálak a város legelőkelőbb csoportjához vezetnek, ahol a szabályok egyáltalán nem érvényesek.
Líška
Lukáš Líška je povolaný na miesto závažnej autonehody. Spočiatku to vyzerá, že poručík z oddelenia vrážd tam nemá čo robiť, až kým neidentifikujú jednotlivých účastníkov. Dvaja sú na mieste mŕtvi – jeden je jeho kolega vyšetrovateľ, ktorý má navyše na rukách nasadené želiezka, druhý je syn šéfa protidrogového oddelenia. Aby toho nebolo málo, mladík sa viezol v kradnutom aute, ktorého kufor je plný drog. Lukáš rýchlo pochopí, že nehoda bola len zásterkou oveľa ohavnejších úmyslov. Kto mal pri nej zomrieť a prečo?
Marek Wolf ako jediný nehodu zázrakom prežil. Prebúdza sa v nemocnici, zranený, otupený a v naivnej domnienke, že dostal druhú šancu. Lenže zázraky neexistujú. Nájomný vrah Viktor, ktorý ho už raz v minulosti takmer pripravil o život, mu oznámi, že sa stal dlžníkom mafie. Wolf stojí nebezpečne blízko priepasti, do ktorej už raz spadol. Ak ho tentoraz niekto postrčí, nebude mať kam uhnúť.

Chystal sa otočiť. Ruka, v ktorej zvieral zbraň, prirodzene vystrelila dopredu. Ale skôr než stihol zareagovať, niečo ťažké ho zasiahlo do temena.
Bolesť bola prudká, ostrá a náhla.
Padol na kolená, zbraň mu vypadla z ruky, ale nevzdával sa. Pokúsil sa vstať, ale pocítil ďalší úder do hlavy. Ešte tvrdší, schytal ranu istoty.
Šero, v ktorom len sotva rozoznával obrysy okolia, sa mu pred očami zrútilo do čiernej prázdnoty.
Zobudil sa na chlad. Nie na ten, ktorý panuje v noci v opustených bytoch, ale na vnútorný, mrazivý. Plynúci z vedomia, že niečo nie je v poriadku.
Pomaly sa posadil. V hlave mu pulzovala bolesť. Nahmatal si ranu na temene, čosi mazľavé mu zlepilo vlasy. Jeho vlastná krv. Vytiahol mobil, zapol funkciu baterky a pomocou nej našiel vypínač na stene. Horko-ťažko sa k nemu presunul, a aj keď sa mu podarilo rozsvietiť, svetlo v izbe sa rozmazávalo, obrazy sa spájali a rozpadávali, kým zaostril zrak na niečo, čo si nikdy neprial vidieť.
Kúpeľňa. Dvere boli tentoraz dokorán.
A vnútri... telo.

A javítóintézet
FLORIDA A JIM CROW-RENDSZER IDEJÉN, 1950
A tizenkét éves Robbie Stephens Jr.-t hat hónapra a Gracetowni Fiúiskolába küldik, miután megvédi nővérét, Gloriát – és megrúgja a város legnagyobb földbirtokosának fiát. A helyet a rossz nyelvek csak javítóintézetnek hívják, noha valójában semmit nem javít.
Robbie az anyja elvesztése óta látja a szellemeket. Gyerekkora óta vele vannak, és nem egyszer vigaszt nyújtottak neki. De ami egykor mentsvár volt, most rémületté válik: az intézet falai közt lévő szellemek ugyanis beszélni kezdenek hozzá, és borzalmas dolgokról suttognak.
Két barátja, Félvér és Kék megtanítják Robbie-nak, hogyan lehet túlélni a helyet. Odakint pedig Gloria mozgásba lendül: minden rokont és kapcsolatot felkutat Floridában, hogy még időben kiszabadítsa öccsét, mielőtt túl késő lesz. Közben a bosszúszomjas halott fiúknak is megvannak a maguk tervei.

A nő a tízes kabinból
Lo Blacklock újságíró, egy utazási magazinnál dolgozik. Izgalmas előrelépési lehetőség áll előtte: eltölthet egy egész hetet egy VIP-luxushajóúton. Kezdetben Lo kitűnően érzi magát, a kabinok elegánsak, a vacsorák, a partik fényűzőek, a társaság előkelő.
De ahogy telik, múlik az idő, hűvös szelek fújják át a hajót, szürke ég telepedik a fedélzetre, és Lo olyan eseménynek lesz szemtanúja, amit korábban csak a rémálmaiban tudott volna elképzelni. Egy nőt kidobnak a hajóból. Az utasok mind bebiztosítják magukat, a hajó pedig úgy szeli tovább a hullámokat, mintha mi sem történt volna. Egyedül Lo próbál elkeseredetten választ találni a kérdéseire, és felfedni az igazságot: valami szörnyűségeset…

Impostor Syndrome
Two fearless investigators unite to stop a media-savvy serial killer from carrying out a cataclysmic crime for all the world to see in a riveting thriller by a Wall Street Journal bestselling author. The FBI calls on former agent Jessica Blackwood to look at a puzzling crime. A wildlife officer has found the body of a popular YouTuber encased in an obelisk made of salt in a remote refuge. When the agency is tipped off to a second body, that of a TikTok star chained to the bottom of Nevada’s Pyramid Lake—her hands clasped in prayer—Jessica recruits a trusted colleague of her own: Floridian underwater investigator Sloan McPherson. It appears to be the work of a ritualistic serial killer preying on influencers. That tracks when a third victim—a fantasy-game live streamer—barely survives a pipe bomb attack. But in navigating the social media world of instafame, manipulation, and deception, Jessica and Sloan know how illusory appearances can be. As the threats multiply across the country, they fear they’re playing with something more extreme than they imagined: a killer’s endgame that could be nothing less than apocalyptic.

A Tű a szénakazalban
Lucy sarkon fordult, és elhagyta a szobát. A játszmának vége, és ő lett a vesztes. Nem maradt más hátra, mint hogy leül, és megvárja Henryt, jöjjön és ölje meg. Kinézett az ablakon. A vihar véget ért. Az üvöltő orkán kényszeredett szellővé csendesedett, az eső teljesen elállt, keleten az ég alja világos volt a hamarosan felkelő naptól. A tenger... Összeráncolta a homlokát, és még egyszer odanézett. Igen, valóban egy tengeralattjárót lát. "Pusztítsa el a rádiót", mondta a professzor. Az este Henry valamilyen idegen nyelven káromkodott. Előzőleg meg azt mondta: "A hazámért tettem!" És amikor félrebeszélt ezt: "Calais-nál egy fantomhadseregre várnak". Pusztítsa el a rádiót. Tudta, mit kell tennie. Ezt az utolsó dolgot még meg kell tennie David meg a többi fiatalember miatt, aki elesett a háborúban.

The Sister's Curse
Lieutenant Anna Koray thought she''d finally found solid ground and escaped her past as the daughter of a notorious serial killer. A loving boyfriend, a loyal dog, a life that almost feels normal-except darkness has a way of seeping in. When she saves a boy from drowning, the strange marks on his body tell a disturbing story: something in the depths tried to drag him under. Days later, another victim surfaces with identical marks and Anna''s instincts scream that these are no accidents. Both victims are connected to the Kings of Warsaw Creek-men of the town''s wealthiest and most influential families. And they have enemies. Others whisper that there are witches in Bayern County, seeking revenge for a long-ago murder. Perhaps it''s the work of Vivian Carson, the enigmatic bartender who''s rumoured to cast hexes on those who wrong her. Or maybe it''s a secret coven who''s been leaving serpentine symbols and skulls behind at the scenes of the drownings. But Anna''s investigation reveals an even more sinister truth: something is stirring in the water, and it wants the Kings to pay. With time running out and more victims appearing, Anna must separate superstition from truth. But in Bayern County, where legends and curses run deep as the water itself, one wrong step could drag her into the depths-this time for good.
Labyrinth
From the bestselling author of Lost in Time and Quantum Radio comes a new mind-bending thriller: a group of strangers with tinnitus begins seeing numbers — numbers they soon realize are a code that will change the world. Alan Norris has lost everything. Except for his daughter. And he’s willing to do anything to protect her. The day of his wife's funeral, as he’s walking to give the eulogy, the ringing in his ears starts. His tinnitus began when he was in the Marines, the day a roadside bomb went off. Usually, it's a low whine — a tea kettle that never quite boils. But as his prosthetic and his good leg sink into the soggy grass, the ringing changes. That afternoon, the ringing only he can hear sounds like three jagged rocks dropped in a tin can and shaken. When the rattling hits a crescendo, he sees a series of numbers: 12122518914208. He assumes it’s a stress reaction. A hallucination. He’s wrong about that. And several other things. The ringing and the numbers are a mystery, but the worst part is that when that unseen hand shakes the can, Alan begins to lose time. A few minutes at first. Then longer. Until one night, he wakes up next to a dead body. He could call the police. Or run. He doesn’t do either. Because he doesn't know what happened to his daughter during the time he lost, leaving him no choice but to dig deeper. Alan soon discovers he's not the only one seeing the numbers. And that the sequence is key to a conspiracy with far-reaching consequences. For him and the entire world.
