Last Orders
New team, old case, the clock is ticking for justice. Detective Gus Freeman isn't ready to let a cold case gather dust—especially one as flawed as Trudi Driscoll's. Years ago, the lively barmaid was murdered on her walk home, shattering her tight-knit Wiltshire community. The investigation’s failures led to the wrongful imprisonment of an innocent man, leaving her true killer free. Now leading a newly formed team, Gus revisits the tangled web of evidence and missteps that derailed the original inquiry. As troubling secrets resurface, a secondary case involving the murder of Frank North casts a dangerous shadow over the investigation—and over Gus himself. With reasoned deduction as his compass, Gus navigates a maze of gossip, personal agendas, and institutional failings. He fights to bring closure to Trudi’s family while uncovering truths far darker than anyone imagined. Last Orders, the second instalment in The Freeman Files series, is a gripping cold-case murder mystery that explores the fragile nature of justice, the power of community, and the relentless quest for truth. Praise for Last Orders: ? Another exciting instalment to the ‘Freeman Files’ I must admit this one had me scratching my head as to who the culprit was until the very end. Excellent. ?

It is hard to put this book down. ? Really enjoyed this book and will definitely follow the series. The author put enough twists and turns to keep you guessing. ? Gus used old school, tried and true techniques and comes out smelling like a rose.

Vražda v End House, 2. vydanie
Román Vražda v End House z roku 1932, ktorý vychádza v novom vydaní, ponúka čitateľom vynikajúci detektívny príbeh s prekvapujúcim rozuzlením. Agatha Christie ho napísala na začiatku mimoriadne plodného obdobia svojej tvorby ako siedmy román s Herculom Poirotom, slávnym detektívom, ktorý nás aj tentoraz ohúri svojimi výnimočnými dedukčnými schopnosťami.
Keď Hercule Poirot nečakane ohlási, že odchádza na odpočinok, jeho priatelia tomu nechcú uveriť. On sám je však skalopevne presvedčený, že nič na svete ho neprinúti vrátiť sa k detektívnej práci. Ibaže zakrátko vysvitne, že aj geniálny detektív sa môže mýliť...
Na dovolenke v cornwallskom letovisku sa Hercule Poirot zoznámi so šarmantnou dievčinou, ktorej nielenže jeho meno nič nehovorí, ale zároveň je taká ľahkomyseľná, že popiera očividné ohrozenie, v ktorom sa ocitla. Slečna Nick Buckleyová totiž v priebehu niekoľkých dní viackrát unikla istej smrti. Poirot by to azda aj nechal tak, no krátko nato pri stretnutí s ním preletí mladej dáme cez klobúk guľka z pištole. Je jasné, že situácia je viac než vážna a treba rýchlo konať...

7. svedkyňa
INŠPIROVANÉ SKUTOČNÝMI UDALOSŤAMI
Siedma svedkyňa je prvým dielom detektívnej série z berlínskeho justičného prostredia od autorskej
dvojice Schwiecker – Tsokos.
Berlínom otriasa rad záhadných vrážd, ale nič nie je také, ako sa na prvý pohľad zdá... Je bežné
nedeľné ráno a štátny zamestnanec Nikolas Nölting práve odchádza zo svojho domu v Berlíne-
Charlottenburgu. Zamáva svojej malej dcérke, nasadne na bicykel a zamieri do pekárne. Tam
z ničoho nič bez varovania vytiahne zbraň a začne strieľať okolo seba. Jeden človek zomrel, ďalší
dvaja sú zranení – a Nikolas Nölting mlčí.
Nöltingov právnik Rocco Eberhardt musí zistiť, aký motív prinútil nenápadného otca rodiny spáchať
takýto čin. Celé pátranie vedie do slepej uličky – až kým súdny znalec Dr. Justus Jarmer nedospeje
k prekvapivému objavu, ktorý zavedie vyšetrovateľa Rocca Eberhardta priamo do hniezda korupcie,
prania špinavých peňazí a klanovej kriminality. Ak však niekto strká nos do záležitostí berlínskeho
podsvetia, neohrozí len seba...
V kriminálnej sérii o berlínskom právnikovi Roccovi Eberhardtovi a forenznom vedcovi Dr. Justusovi
Jarmerovi autori uplatnili skúsenosti z vlastného profesionálneho života: Florian Schwiecker
pracoval mnoho rokov ako právny zástupca a autor bestsellerov Michael Tsokos vedie Inštitút
súdneho lekárstva v berlínskej nemocnici Charité. Hlavní protagonisti ich krimirománov –
vyšetrovatelia Eberhardt a Jarmer – sa spoločne púšťajú do vzrušujúceho autentického pátrania,
ktoré im odhalí najhlbšie zákutia ľudskej duše.

Ryan Decker 2: Útok
V druhém dílu výbušné thrillerové série vede vražda pohraniční hlídky k odhalení rozsáhlého spiknutí
Poté co Ryan Decker v první knize Záchranná operace odhalil a překazil spiknutí v řadách „deep state“, které mu málem zničilo život, zjišťuje, že jeho schopnosti neušly pozornosti vlivné senátorky Steeleové. Ta teď potřebuje jeho pomoc. Při bizarním výbuchu poblíž americko-mexické hranice byli zabiti dva příslušníci pohraniční stráže a předložené důkazy vůbec nesedí s oficiální verzí událostí.
Senátorka Steeleová pověřuje Deckera, aby se ujal tajného, neoficiálního vyšetřování, a ten se společně se svou partnerkou Harlow Mackenzieovou vydává do pohraničního města Tecate. Postupně zjišťuje, že narazili na něco mnohem nebezpečnějšího, než si kdokoli z nich dokázal představit.
Celá konspirace zasahuje hluboko do samotného amerického Ministerstva obrany. Ve strachu o své životy a bez možnosti důvěřovat komukoli mimo úzký okruh svých šikovných spolupracovníků rozjíždějí Decker a Mackenzieová riskantní plán, jak toto zločinné spiknutí zastavit.
Nezmeškejte druhý díl napínavé série thrillerů o zradě, pomstě a spiknutí s bývalým agentem CIA Ryanem Deckerem, která nadchne nejen čtenáře Leea Childa a Toma Clancyho.

Gyilkosság a csendes házban
„Semmi kétség, a jó Isten tudja, mit csinál. De azért érthetetlen, miért engedte meg magának, hogy bizonyos emberi lényeket létrehozzon.”
Az ördög nem alszik, szól a mondás, s valóban: e kötet megmutatja, hogy a bűn nem ismer szabad- és ünnepnapokat – egy rodoszi nyaralás épp úgy tökéletes lehet a gyilkosságra, mint egy Guy Fawkes-napi tűzijáték, főleg, ha ott van a közelben Hercule Poirot. A könyv négy nyomozása során feltűnnek ismerős segítők (Japp főfelügyelő vagy Mr. Satterthwaite), ismerős motívumok (a bezárt szoba rejtélye vagy épp egy sokatmondó gongszó) és ismerős szereplőtípusok (szeszélyes arisztokraták, csábos kémnők és femme fatale-ok) a végeredmény azonban garantáltan tartogat meglepetéseket. A megoldásig vezető úton Poirot virágágyásokat vizsgálgat, cigarettacsikkeken mereng és gázkályhákról diskurál – hogy aztán kis szürke agysejtjei megoldássá rendezzék az apró részleteket. Agatha Christie ebben a kötetben három kisregény mellett egy novellával jelentkezik – utóbbiból Nyaraló gyilkosok címen később regényt is írt.
