A bosszú angyala
A bosszú angyalát semmi sem tántoríthatja el a céljától.
Miután Constance Greene egy időgép segítségével visszautazott az 1880-as évek New Yorkjába, a nő mindent megtesz, hogy megmentse a testvéreit, és megállítsa a városban garázdálkodó elvetemült gyilkost, dr. Enoch Lenget. Csakhogy kudarcot vall.
Egyetlen esélye van csupán arra, hogy feltartóztassa a férfit, aki a teljes világ romlásba döntésétől és a történelem újraírásától sem rettenne el, ám ehhez a Pendergastfivérek segítségére van szüksége.
Pendergast ügynök öccse, Diogenes beteges örömmel tér vissza a múltba, hogy pokoli ösztöneit ezúttal a jó szolgálatába állítsa. Testvérével és annak társával, D'Agosta hadnaggyal nemcsak a megtestesült gonosszal kell harcba szállniuk, hanem meg kell találniuk a módját annak, hogy megakadályozzák a világtörténelem egyik legördögibb tervét...
Aloysius és Constance a Pendergastok ősét és a nő halálos ellenségét üldözik az Átjáró a múltba című kötet letehetetlen folytatásában.
The Trees
When the rural town of Money, Mississippi is beset by a series of brutal murders, a pair of detectives from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation arrive. They're greeted with resistance from the local sheriff, his deputy, the coroner, and a mob of racist white townsfolk.
This, they expect. Less predictable, however, is the second corpse which appears at each crime scene: that of a man resembling Emmett Till, the young Black boy lynched in the same town sixty-five years earlier. As a spate of copycat killings spreads across the country, what begins as a murder investigation soon becomes a journey into the soul of America’s violent past . . .
Svědomí
Jednou za rok, vždy na stejném místě. Parta bývalých spolužáků se schází v penzionu uprostřed Vysočiny, aby si připomněli staré časy. Letos ale nebude co slavit – jeden z nich už se totiž domů nevrátí. Policista Marek Tengler se znovu pouští do vyšetřování, které vede hluboko do minulosti. Kdo měl důvod vraždit? A mají se bát i ostatní? Lži, tajemství a dávné křivdy začínají vyplouvat na povrch. Tengler ví, že ve hře je hodně... a brzo se objeví náznaky, že vrahův motiv může být komplikovanější, než se zdá.

A menekülő ember
Amerikát egy totalitárius kormány uralja, és a mindenre kiterjedő, mindent átszövő Hálózat tartja az irányítása alatt. A társadalom kétpólusú. A rendszer csak a gazdagoknak kedvez, akik elzártan élnek a belváros jólétet árasztó épületeiben. A város déli részén, a Csatornától délre, Co-Op Cityben csaknem négymillió munkanélküli tengődik reménytelenül kitaszítva és kilátástalanul, embertelen körülmények között. De éljen akár a hatalmas, szennyezett nyomornegyedekben, akár a gazdagok erődszerű toronyházaiban, minden amerikai a törvény által előírt, kötelező szórakoztatásnak hódol: ül az ingyenes televízió előtt, és bekapcsolódik a nemzet kedvenc vetélkedőibe, amelyekben az emberek az életüket teszik fel a hatalmas vagyonért cserébe.
Ben Richards végső elkeseredésében játékosnak jelentkezik a legkegyetlenebb vetélkedőbe, A menekülő ember-be. A szabályok roppant egyszerűek: száz dollár minden óráért, amit szabadon tölt, némi menekülési pénz, tizenkét óra előny. Ha harminc napig kibírja, övé a nagydíj – egymilliárd dollár. De ha elkapja az embervadász-kommandó, megölik. És mindezt élőben közvetíti a tévé: mindenki őt figyeli, és hajlandó feladni a jutalomért cserébe. Richards aláírja a szerződést, a visszaszámlálás elindul, és kezdetét veszi a játék – életre-halálra...
Karácsonyi kirakós gyilkosságok
Gyűlöli a karácsonyt. A 80 éves egykori középiskolai tanárnő, Edie O’Sullivan az örökös kívülálló, aki még manapság is feltűnést kelt narancssárga hajával, lila nadrágkosztümjével és piros félcipőjével az angliai tengerparti kisváros utcáin, ugyanis kivétel nélkül a szeretet ünnepén veszítette el a hozzátartozóit. Azonban a nyugdíjas rejtvényguruként országosan ismert mogorva és pikírt rejtvénykészítő december 19-én nem várt ajándékcsomagot talál a háza küszöbén, benne egy kirakós játék vérfoltos darabjaival és egy üzenettel: ha nem tudja megoldani a rejtélyt, szenteste éjfélig négyen vagy talán többen is gyilkosság áldozataivá válnak.
Versenyfutás kezdődik az idővel, ám a puzzle-darabok csak nem adják ki a teljes képet, és még Edie nevelt fia, a nyomozó Sean is felkerül a veszélyben lévők listájára.
A Gyilkosság a karácsonyi expresszen után Alexandra Benedict újabb pörgős, rejtélyes és rejtvényes karácsonyi krimivel lepi meg az olvasókat, nem titkoltan és tiszteletteljesen Charles Dickens Karácsonyi ének című regényének szellemes megidézésével.

Cordelia Beecher is on the run. In search of her missing brother Edward, she has fled the oppressive charity school she was raised in, desperate to find the only family she knows. Using clues from his past letters, she sets off for the sleepy town of Farrow but everyone there claims to have never heard of Edward—not even the man he was supposedly working for as an apprentice. With nowhere to go, Cordi turns to Lady Evangeline, a local botanist who owns the magnificent Edenfield estate. The benevolent lady of the manor has made it her mission to take young, often traumatized, women into her employ and protect them from man’s world of wicked desires and deceits. Hired as a maid and companion to her enigmatic daughters, Prim and Briar, Cordi quickly settles into Edenfield. Even as her relationship with Briar blossoms, Cordi can’t help but suspect that there are secrets in the estate…and when she stumbles across evidence that Edward was once there, she’s determined to find answers. Atmospheric, eerie, and thoroughly original, Her Wicked Roots will establish Tanya Pell as a “wickedly creepy” (Josh Winning, author of Heads Will Roll) and vital voice in horror.
