Lelkek őrzője
Budapest egyik temploma előtt bestiális kegyetlenséggel meggyilkolt katolikus pap holttestére bukkannak. A tettes megfojtotta, kivágta és magával vitte az egyik szemét. A rendőrség biztos benne, hogy a gyilkos frissen szabadult a börtönből, ahova az atya vallomása juttatta. Az ügyet a nyugdíjazás előtt álló Gálfi Csaba alezredes kapja meg, és ahogy csapata egyre mélyebbre ás, a nyomok között hátborzongató gyilkosságsorozat sejlik fel.
Idegtépő hajsza kezdődik a megszállott gyilkos után, miközben az alezredesnek árulással és a múlt árnyaival is meg kell küzdenie. Az idő fogy, a kérdések pedig sokasodnak.
Kiben bízhat Gálfi egy olyan ügyben, ahol minden hazugság mögött egy még mélyebb igazság rejlik?
Létezik-e a titokzatos vadász, a lelkek őrzője?
N. Nagy Zoltán legújabb regénye a mai Magyarországon játszódó, egyszerre borzongató és realisztikus krimi, tele fájdalommal a szó minden értelmében.
Fekete bárány
Minden család furcsa a maga módján, de Vesper Wright rokonai tényleg teljesen más szintet képviselnek. A lány ezért már tizennyolc évesen, amint tehette, elszökött otthonról, és azóta sem tért vissza. Valamint szabály is, hogy ha valaki egyszer elhagyja Virgil mélyen vallásos közösségét, akkor nincs visszaút.
Aztán egy nap egy boríték várja a lábtörlőjén. Benne egy meghívóval Vesper szeretett unokatestvérének, Rosie-nak az esküvőjére, méghozzá a családi farmon. Minek köszönheti, hogy számítanak a részvételére? Ki szeretnének békülni vele? Vagy valami hátsó szándék vezérli őket?
Igazából nem számít. Vesper érzi, hogy részt kell vennie a szertartáson. Még akkor is, ha ezzel vissza kell térnie abba a mérgező környezetbe, ahonnan elmenekült. Még akkor is, ha találkoznia kell az anyjával, Constance-szel, aki egykor horrorfilmek tündöklő csillagaként ragyogott, és mindmáig kettővel jobbnak képzeli magát mindenkinél.
Amikor Vesper nem sokkal a hazatértét követően szörnyű titkot leplez le, kénytelen számot vetni családja sötét vallásával és saját hitetlenségével.
Rachel Harrison regénye családi traumák hagyatékával, valamint a szervezett vallási közösségek hatásaival foglalkozik, és akkor sem veszít semmit az értékéből, amikor megkezdődik az igazi vérontás.

The White Bear
Love, faith, and the political mingle in these two short novels by a Nobel Prize-winning Danish author. One about a young couple making a new life in Rome, the other about a priest who goes to live among native peoples in Greenland, both books explore the reaches of the human heart through their complex and unforgettable characters.The White Bear and The Rearguard are two of Nobel laureate Henrik Pontoppidan?s most acclaimed novellas: tales of personal, political, and religious strife, full of keen psychological insight, set amid the sweeping changes of late nineteenth-century Danish society. Pontoppidan?s prose is spellbinding in its taut, unvarnished grace, a quality translator Paul Larkin masterfully captures in this stunning new translation.The White Bear is the odyssey of the priest Thorkild Müller, who becomes minister to a remote Inuit tribe in Greenland and is slowly integrated within the community. After spending much of his adult life in Greenland, he returns to Denmark, where his popularity among his parishioners brings the ire of the Church upon his head.Newlyweds Jorgen Hallager and Ursula Branth are as different as night and day. The brash son of a poor village teacher, Jorgen is an avowed socialist whose revolutionary beliefs translate into his work as a painter of social realism. Ursula, on the other hand, comes from an upper-middle-class family and is politically conservative. Though each strives to change the other?s worldview as they start their new life in Rome, tensions rise, and misunderstandings abound. A searching examination of art and individuality, this version of The Rearguard is the never-before-translated 1905 edition, which elucidates with greater complexity Jorgen?s character as well as Ursula?s resolve to temper him with love.

Gyilkosság kilátással
Mennyire ismerhetjük igazán a szomszédainkat? Mikor alakul át a mosolygós jószomszédi viszony iszonnyá?
Celeste Van Duren, a vagyonos örökösnő biztonságos menedékként álmodta meg London legkisebb lakóparkját, a Marchfield teret. Olyan helynek, ahol azok találhatnak otthonra, akik a múltjuk elől menekülnek, vagy akiknek máskülönben nem lenne módjuk maradni abban a városban, amelyet otthonuknak neveznek. Legalábbis ez volt a terve.
Ám amikor az egyik lakót holtan találják a konyhájában, a rendőrség pedig az áldozat bántalmazott feleségére próbálja rábizonyítani a gyilkosságot, egyértelművé válik, hogy a park nem is olyan biztonságos, mint Celeste hitte.
Így azt teszi, amit bárki, akinek sok pénze, erős igazságérzete és fájós csípője van: felfogad két bérlőt, hogy járjanak a dolgok végére. Az egyik Audrey, a takarítónője, aki mindenkit ismer, és akit mindenki szeret. A másik Lewis, a bukott krimiíró, aki saját magát sem kedveli, nemhogy másokat.
A páros csillapíthatatlan kíváncsisággal veti magát a nyomozásba. Bár mindenben különböznek, hamarosan valamiben egyetértenek: valaki a Marchfield téren hazudik. A nyomozás során aztán kiderül, hogy minden lakónak van rejtegetnivalója. De vajon mi felett siklott el Audrey és Lewis, ami valójában végig ott volt az orruk előtt?

And third: supervise the only police officer currently on Ovalau, an eighteen-year-old constable with a penchant for hysterics. Accompanied by his friend Taviti, who is visiting his uncle, the local chief, Akal sets off on these seemingly straightforward tasks. Instead, they become embroiled in a series of local issues: the gruesome death of an unpopular local and the imprisonment of a group of Norwegian sailors in Taviti''s uncle''s village.
