Sisters Before Misters
A missing husband, a sister acting sus, and a tantalizing tangle of lies—well, there goes Remi’s plan for a chill Halloween. Remi and her sisters, Maeve and Eliana, have a knack for stumbling into murder mysteries. And after a killer family camping trip last year, they’re back together for a Halloween they’ll never forget. Remi is living her best life in Seattle until Eliana’s husband, Chad, who refused to sign their divorce papers, disappears on the spookiest night of the year. Eliana swears she has no idea where he is, though her obvious motive and weird behavior don’t really weigh in her favor. Nor does the severed finger they find in his house…Torn between loyalty to her sister and mounting suspicions she can’t ignore, Remi and her boyfriend, Leo, embark on a manhunt to find Chad—or the rest of him. But the further Remi digs into Chad’s movements on Halloween, the more trouble she finds. With a ruthless detective on their tail, threatening texts, a mysterious flash drive, and dubious legal advice from a kooky aunt, the Finch sisters are in over their head. But Remi is determined to prove her sister’s innocent, even though the bloody evidence points right at her.

Ginster
When World War I breaks out, a young architecture student in Munich does everything in his power to avoid being enlisted into the German military in this perceptive, wickedly humorous novel by a prominent twentieth-century writer, journalist, and film critic.Siegfried Kracauer?s Ginster is the great World War I novel you?ve never heard of. Here, the sheer horrors are kept offstage, as in Greek tragedy, and merely reported from time to time. The setting is the German home front. Its Chaplinesque antihero?Ginster?spends the war gumming up the German war machine as he maneuvers to stay out of its clutches and save his own skin.Which he does; however, there is a deeper struggle going on between Ginster?s dreamy self-absorption and the pitiless organization of society, war or no war. Ginster has no wish to do anything. Alas, his reveries are forever being interrupted by the demands of an other-minded world.All the scenes of Ginster are well to the rear of the military action, yet with Kracauer narrating, military language saturates all aspects of civilian life in the homeland. Ginster?s nearest and dearest are so gung-ho, he feels that he?s at the front when he visits them.War, the author seems to say, is merely ordinary life seen from the back instead of the front. As a new European war darkens our horizon, one no more expected than was World War I, Kracauer?s novel feels timelier than ever.

If the Dead Belong Here
A multigenerational horror saga about an Indigenous American family, a missing girl, and a dark curse that echoes down generations, perfect for readers of Stephen Graham Jones, Erika T. Wurth and Shane Hawk. When six-year-old Laurel Taylor vanishes without a trace, her family is left shattered, struggling to navigate the darkness of grief and unanswered questions. As their search turns to despair, Laurel's older sister, Nadine, begins experiencing nightmares that blur the line between dream and reality, and she becomes convinced that Laurel's disappearance could be connected to other family tragedies. Guided by her elders, Nadine sets out to uncover whether laying the ghosts to rest is the key to finding her sister and healing her fractured family. Carson Faust captivates in this chilling literary debut that confronts the specter of colonization and the generational scars it leaves on Native American families. Steeped in Indigenous folklore and drawing from the author's own family history, If the Dead Belong Here examines what it means to be haunted-both by the supernatural and terrors of our own making. Faust crafts a powerful, kaleidoscopic tale about the complicated legacies of violence that shape our present, the importance of honoring our past, and the resilience of a family-and a people-determined to heal from old wounds.

Útok totiž souvisí se sérií brutálních vražd, jež právě vyšetřuje.

Maffiózók bálnamerciben 2: Zseton életre-halálra
A HIDEGRE VAGY HŰVÖSRE című kötetben megismert C, vagyis Czibere Attila, valamint Százhalombatta környéki bandahaverjai egyre nagyobb kanállal falják az életet. Folytatják az olajlopást, de belecsúsznak áfacsalásokba, pénzszállító autók kirablásába, és akkor sem esnek pánikba, ha valakit el kell verniük...
Pompás autók és vastag pénzkötegek cserélnek gazdát, a zsaruk pedig tanácstalanul, megtévesztve vagy éppen lefizetve figyelik az eseményeket. Ebben a világban senki sem a barátod, senkiben sem bízhatsz meg!
Míg egyesek egzotikus helyekre utaznak, másokat a másvilágra utaztatnak. A kígyók bandájának hatalom és a gazdagság iránti vágya kielégíthetetlen, ez pedig sokszor komoly bajba sodorja őket. Repül egy gránát, süvít egy lövedék, reccsen egy - vagyis jó néhány - csont...
A jelenleg is húszéves börtönbüntetését töltő szerző döbbenetes jelenetekkel avatja be regényes memoárján keresztül az olvasót a 2000-es évek magyar alvilági életébe. Feltárja, hogyan keveredett a Koszi-klán közelébe, ahogy arról is mesél, milyen eseménysorozat vezetett a diósdi kettős gyilkosság néven elhíresült vérontáshoz.
