Harc az irányításért
A Panama-csatorna lehetséges orosz inváziója, egy nyílt katonai konfliktus kirobbanásának rémálma és egy dél-amerikai bűnszervezet, amely az Egyesült Államok első emberének életére tör - csak néhány azok közül a problémák közül, amelyekkel Jack Ryan elnöknek szembe kell néznie Tom Clancy #1 New York Times bestsellersorozatának legújabb részében. A Panama-csatorna a közép-amerikai földnyelv átvágásával bő száz éve kínál áthaladást az Atlanti- és a Csendes-óceán között. A csatorna feletti ellenőrzés fontos szerepet játszik a szabadkereskedelemben. Ha nincs nemzetközi kontroll, világszintű káosz törhet ki. Az oroszok azonban maguknak akarják a csatornát.
A panamai elnök, Rafael Botero segítséget kér politikai ellenfeleivel szemben, és régi barátja, Jack Ryan elfogadja a meghívást. Csakhogy a demokratikus értékek népszerűsítése helyett rémálomba csöppen egy jól megszervezett államcsíny képében. Panamában Ryan elnököt és titkosszolgálati csapatát elzárják a kommunikációtól. Washingtonban az alelnök katonai csapást fontolgat, de van még egy akadály.
Az államcsíny mögött álló egyik csoportosulás, a bűnszervezetként működő Camarilla úgy dönt, eljött a lehetőség az Egyesült Államok vezetőjének meggyilkolására. Innentől Jack Ryan elnöknek az életéért kell küzdenie ebben a lebilincselően izgalmas krimiben.
Always the Quiet Ones
Fantasy and reality clash in a twisted novel of psychological suspense, where a shared moment of female outrage changes one woman’s career overnight—and her life forever. Beatrice “Bea” Ku is sure this is it. The moment she finally receives her hard-earned promotion at the Seattle law firm where the young Filipina American attorney has toiled for five years. She can’t wait to tell her parents—and Allegra, her annoyingly perfect childhood friend. So when her boss betrays her, again, promoting a male colleague instead, she’s so angry she could kill. Bea tries to suppress that anger, just like her anxiety. But she’s branded “too emotional,” dredging up old memories from high school and her unhealthy coping mechanisms. Allegra and her husband, Caleb, Bea’s former crush, were largely responsible for getting Bea hooked. And her family and friends paid dearly. Tired of all the gaslighting and toxic masculinity, and emboldened by liquid courage, Bea vows to change things. When a kindred spirit suggests a murder pact, she jokingly agrees. But nobody’s laughing when their deal turns out to be all too real…

Crime in the Victorian Black Country
Whilst the Black Country had been the cradle of the industrial revolution, towards the end of nineteenth century, the prosperity of the region was at an end, and crime was on the increase. A mainly working-class population was having laws imposed upon it remotely, influenced by middle class morality and ethics. Crime in the Victorian Black Country looks at the crimes actually being committed in the Black Country towards the end of the nineteenth century. It considers attitudes towards the police in this geologically unique and neglected part of the country and offers possible reasons for it. It relates tales reported in the local press of the time reflecting the attitude of the ruling elite and the sort of behaviour they wanted to impose on the working classes, and the reaction to this. Crime is endlessly fascinating, the late Victorian view of criminals and the causes of crime, fairly well known, this work offers a view of the criminal behaviour of working-class people through an alternative lens.

- Értem.

Grave Dealings
In the 18th century the first American medical school was established in Philadelphia. Following the model of European universities, anatomical lectures were conducted with cadavers. But where did the bodies come from? Dissection was viewed as a fate worse than death, and the only legal source of “stiffs” was executed criminals. But there were not enough. As the medical profession and its need for “anatomical material” grew, a new, macabre practice emerged: body snatching. Body snatchers secretly obtained bodies from cemeteries and sold them to medical schools for dissection. But how did body snatching work? How did body snatchers and medical schools avoid getting caught, and what happened when they did? How did the era of the body snatchers end? Grave Dealings: Body Snatching In Philadelphia, 1762-1883 digs through archives to unearth the forgotten history of a time of graveyard patrols and anatomy riots, when the dead needed protection from the living. Philadelphia pioneered and became the center of American medical education and practice–and body snatching–in the 18th and 19th centuries. Grave Dealings explores the social, cultural, practical, and legal aspects of body snatching in America’s first capital city and relates it to the continuing ethical struggles that surround the treatment of human remains to this day.

Keďže dievča žilo na ulici celé mesiace, službukonajúci policajt nevidí dôvod na paniku. Vyzerá to na klasický prípad rebelujúcej tínedžerky, ktorá sa určite za pár dní objaví. Jediný, kto spozornie, je inšpektorka Helen Graceová. Dá na svoj inštinkt a napriek výslovnému zákazu nadriadenej zostaví vyšetrovací tím. Čoskoro zistí, že Naomi nie je jediné dievča, ktoré v poslednom čase zmizlo. Čím viac sa Helen približuje k vyriešeniu prípadu, tým naráža na znepokojivejšie otázky. A hoci sa pravda niekedy ukrýva rovno pred očami, dokázať sa tak ľahko nedá.

Krvavočervené písmená
Šesť priateľov. Šesť podozrivých.
Jeden víkend na objasnenie vraždy.
Alex Pavesi prichádza s dlhoočakávaným novým románom - ďalším originálnym a poriadne zamotaným „príbehom v príbehu“, ktorý vás udrží v napätí až do samého konca!
V posledný májový víkend roku 1999 sa skupinka piatich priateľov stretne u kamaráta Anatola, aby spolu oslávili jeho tridsiate narodeniny. Udalosti v starom dome a jeho okolí na malebnom anglickom vidieku vo Wiltshire rýchlo naberú nečakaný spád, keď hostiteľ navrhne, aby sa zahrali hru s názvom Motív, spôsob, smrť, ktorú sám vymyslel. Pravidlá sú jednoduché: účastníci majú napísať krátky príbeh, v ktorom sa jeden zo skupinky stane obeťou vraždy a druhý jeho vrahom, pričom vražedné scenáre musia byť dostatočne uveriteľné. A tak nečudo, že čoskoro vyplávajú na povrch nepríjemné tajomstvá, ožijú staré nepriateľstvá. Ba čo viac, s každým vymysleným zločinom niekto nadobudne veľmi reálny motív...
Podarí sa všetkým šiestim priateľom prežiť víkend, alebo sa ukáže, že pravda je vražednejšia než fikcia?
