Ellie Black visszatér
Nem ő az első.
De ő lesz az utolsó?
Chelsey Calhoun nyomozó egész élete felborul, mikor telefonon értesítik, hogy Ellie Black, egy helyi fiatal, akinek évekkel ezelőtt nyoma veszett, ismét felbukkant Washington államban, a vadonban. Ellie visszatérésére reménysugárként tekint, hiszen Chelsey nővére is eltűnt húsz éve, amikor még tizenévesek voltak, és azóta kutat jelek, megfejtések és más eltűnt lányok után.
Csakhogy a nyomozó szakmájában ritka a boldog vég, ráadásul Ellie megjelenése sokkal több kérdést vett fel, mint amire választ kínál.
Hiszen Ellie körül sem tiszta minden. Nem hajlandó elárulni, hol volt, vagy hogy hallgatásával kit védelmez. Chelsey-re vár a feladat, hogy megtalálja a megoldást. Ki kell nyomoznia, mi történt Ellie-vel: saját magáért, a nővére emlékéért, főleg pedig a következő lányért, akit elrabolhatnak, és aki - Ellie-től eltérően - talán sosem tér vissza.

You Like It Darker
** With a bonus story for the paperback edition. **
'You like it darker? Fine, so do I' writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of stories that delve into the darker part of life - both metaphorical and literal.
Each of these stories holds its own thrills, joys and mysteries; each feels iconic. In 'Danny Coughlin's Bad Dream', a brief and unprecedented psychic flash upends dozens of lives, Danny's most catastrophically. 'Rattlesnakes', a sequel to Cujo, sees a grieving widower travel to Florida for respite and instead receive an unexpected inheritance - with major strings attached. 'The Answer Man' asks if prescience is good luck or bad and reminds us that a life marked by unbearable tragedy can still be meaningful.
King writes to feel 'the exhilaration of leaving ordinary day-to-day life behind' and his ability to surprise, amaze and bring us both terror and solace remains unsurpassed.
You like it darker? You got it.

Stříbrná dýka
NĚKTERÉ RÁNY KRVÁCEJÍ I PO ČTYŘECH STALETÍCH…
Záviš, historik bez místa a dělník bez iluzí, přijíždí do Frýdlantu, aby zde pracoval na obnově místního hradu. Očekává rutinní kšeft: úpravu valu, trochu kamení a dost času na pivo. Jenže Frýdlant je město s historií, blíží se Valdštejnské slavnosti, a to by nebylo, aby se Záviš zase do něčeho nezapletl.
Nejprve se pustí do křížku s místním rváčem, poté ztratí knihu z knihovny a nakonec objeví tajemnou dýku, která se nápadně podobá artefaktu ze sedmnáctého století. Když je pak na probíhajících slavnostech nalezena mrtvola jednoho ze šermířů, záhy se zjistí, že právě tato dýka je vražednou zbraní.
Dalšímu případu tak Záviš coby samozvaný vyšetřovatel neuteče. Opět klopýtá s pivem v ruce a temnými démony v hlavě mezi cynismem a spravedlností. Ale tentokrát je to jiné… Do případu se zamotá zrzavá kráska, která Závišovi náležitě poplete hlavu.
Napínavá detektivka plná starých křivd i melancholie, vonící po sladu a zaprášených kronikách.
