Nem vénnek való vidék
„Azt hiszem tudom hogy merre halad a világ. A saját pénzünkön vesznek meg bennünket.”
1980. Llewellyn Moss az amerikai–mexikói határvidéken vadászat közben egy vérfürdővel végződő drogügylet helyszínén találja magát, hullák és fegyverek között, herointéglák és egy több millió dollárt tartalmazó táska mellett. Amikor magához veszi a pénzt, még nem tudja, hogy ezzel miféle láncreakciót indít el. Miközben Moss a halál elől menekül, Ed Tom Bellnek, a helyi seriffnek esélye sincs, hogy segítsen rajta: a pusztítás nyomában járva képtelen lépést tartani a megváltozott világ hajthatatlan gonoszságával.
A Nem vénnek való vidék kegyetlen western thriller, vérre menő macska-egér játék, ugyanakkor egy letűnt világ gyászbeszéde is.
A regény alapján 2007-ben készült film – melyet a Coen testvérek rendeztek – négy Oscar-díjat nyert.
Doktor Karies
Vaše bolest ještě nikdy nebyla tak napínavá!
Ukrutná, drásající bolest zubu. Taková, která nedá spát, otřásá každým nervem a ani nejsilnější prášky nezabírají. Přesně takovou bolest prožívá Irena – hlavní postava strhujícího thrilleru, který je víc než jen příběhem o zubech.

Ve dveřích ordinace se zjevuje doktor Karies – muž, o kterém nikdo nic neví. Jeho přístup je dokonalý, jeho osobnost fascinující, jeho ošetření bezbolestné a výsledky okamžité. Ale každý zázrak má svou cenu. A tahle je vyšší, než si dokážete představit.
Jiří Šedý a Zuzana Musílková servírují hororový příběh ze zubařské ordinace a nabízejí napětí od první do poslední stránky, nečekané zvraty, šokující rozuzlení, výborně vykreslené postavy, s nimiž budete soucítit i je nenávidět. Všudypřítomná temná atmosféra vám bude ležet v hlavě ještě dlouho po dočtení. Otázky, které si budete klást: Komu vlastně věřit? Jsou všechny bolesti opravdu špatné? Bolí mne zub? Připravte se – tahle bolest nebude jediná, která vás v příběhu DOKTOR KARIES čeká…

Jejeune and Laraby will need to combine their skills to discover why a ruthless land contractor would want to invest in new bird migration software, and what possible interest the death of a birding app developer could be to the British intelligence services. With the appearance of Lindy’s ex-boyfriend disrupting Jejeune’s private life, and Danny Maik dealing with divided loyalties, is this the case that finally defeats Domenic Jejeune?

New York, reggel nyolc óra.
Alice, a fiatal párizsi rendőrnő és Gabriel, az amerikai jazz-zongorista egymáshoz bilincselve ébrednek egy padon a Central Parkban.

Lehetetlen? És mégis…
Az első döbbenetet megannyi kérdés követi. Hogy kerültek ilyen veszélyes helyzetbe? Honnan származik a vérfolt Alice ingén? Miért hiányzik egy töltény a fegyveréből? Ha meg akarják érteni, mi történik velük, és visszatérni régi életükhöz, Alice és Gabriel kénytelenek összefogni. Az igazság, amire rábukkannak, fenekestül felforgatja az életüket…

Námesačník
Uprostred noci niekto zavolá na tiesňovú linku a nahlási práve prebiehajúce vlámanie v uzavretom kempe neďaleko Štokholmu. Na volanie reaguje najbližšia policajná hliadka, a keď dorazí na miesto činu, v jednom z karavanov sa jej naskytne desivý pohľad. Steny, strop aj podlaha sú pokryté krvou. Obeť bola zavraždená sekerou a brutálne rozštvrtená.
Polícia v jednej z izieb objaví mladého muža, ktorý spí a ako vankúš mu slúži odseknutá ruka. Mladík je okamžite zatknutý a prevezený do väzby. Vzápätí sa ukáže, že sotva sedemnásťročný syn slávneho spisovateľa trpí vzácnym druhom námesačnosti. Môže byť páchateľom alebo naopak svedkom hrôzostrašných udalostí, na ktoré si však nedokáže spomenúť.
Detektív Joona Linna, ktorý sa prípadu ujme, požiada svojho dávneho priateľa Erika Mariu Barka, aby pomocou hypnózy zistil, čo sa v karavane stalo. Brutálny vrah je stále na slobode a ešte nepovedal posledné slovo.
