Eddie Flynn: Fifty Fifty
Jedna zo sestier zavolala na tiesňovú linku, druhá urobila vzápätí to isté. Obe teraz čaká súd za vraždu otca, ale každá tvrdí, že je nevinná. Klame Alexandra alebo Sofia? Nevie to ani Eddie Flynn, ostrieľaný právnik, ktorý jednu z nich obhajuje. Keď začnú pribúdať mŕtvoly, uvedomí si, že vražda bohatého bývalého starostu New Yorku nebola ojedinelým incidentom. Pravda je oveľa zamotanejšia, než sa na začiatku zdalo.

The Fantastic Tales of Fitz-James O'Brien
In the field of supernatural and fantastic literature, certain names come readily to mind – E.T.A. Hoffmann, Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft – but the name of Fitz-James O’Brien has been unjustly overlooked and nearly forgotten since his premature death in 1862 during the American Civil War.‘The Diamond Lens’, O’Brien’s most famous short story, can be regarded as a forerunner of the science-fiction genre; ‘What Was It?’ is alleged to have served as a model for H.G. Wells’s The Invisible Man; and ''The Wondersmith’ is a marvellous tale of Hoffmannesque invention. Taken together, O’Brien’s few surviving stories give him an important place in the development of American fiction and remain as fresh today as when they first written more than a hundred and fifty years ago.Contents: The Diamond Lens, The Lost Room, What Was It?, The Wondersmith, The Pot of Tulips, The Dragon Fang possessed by the Conjurer Piou-Lou

When We Sold God's Eye
'A first-class work of reporting [and] a work of compassion for Indigenous peoples everywhere' BENJAMIN MOSER, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of SONTAG'Reads like a wondrous mixture of Heart of Darkness and In Cold Blood. A non-fiction novel of modern conquest, capitalism and murder . . . a stunning work' GREG GRANDIN, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of FORDLANDIAWhen We Sold God's Eye tells the astonishing true story of the Cinta Larga, an Amazonian tribe uncontacted by the Western world until the 1960s. Growing up in a remote corner of the Amazon, Pio, Maria, and Oita learned to hunt wild pigs and tapirs, gathering Brazil nuts and açaí berries from centuries-old trees. Then the first highway pierced through. Loggers and prospectors invaded, and they lost their families to terrible new weapons and diseases. Pushed to assimilate, they struggled to understand their new, capitalist reality. They ended up forging an uneasy symbiosis with their white antagonists - until a seam of diamonds erupted in their territory and decades of suppressed trauma burst out in a shocking act of retribution. Based on six years of immersive reporting and research, When We Sold God's Eye tells a unique kind of adventure story: a story of survival against all odds; of the temptations of wealth and the dream of prosperity; of a vital ecosystem threatened by the hunger for natural resources; of genocide and revenge. It's a story as old as the first European encounters with Indigenous people, playing out in the present day. But most of all, it's about a few startlingly clever individuals and their power to adapt - even thrive - in the most unlikely circumstances.
