Halálos szenvedély
J. D. Robb legújabb regényében Eve Dallas olyan elkövetőt hajszol, aki egy esküvőt megelőző bulit változtatott gyilkossági helyszínné.
Egy forró, augusztusi estén Eve Dallas a férjével, Roarke-kal együtt őrülten száguld Manhattan utcáin a Mocskos Alja klub irányába, ahol egy vidám, hangos leánybúcsú torkollt váratlanul gyilkosságba. Az egyik menyasszonyt vértócsában fekve, megfojtva találták a privát szobában, ahol meglepetést akart átadni a párjának - két, nehezen kigazdálkodott, Hawaiira szóló jegyet.
A többtucatnyi bulizó között alig lehet értékelhető szemtanút találni. Ezenfelül a helyszín régi, rossz emlékeket ébreszt Eve-ben, akire hajdan ugyanabban a szobában támadtak rá - de képes volt küzdeni a túlélésért. Ő igazságra talált. Most viszont neki kell igazságot szolgáltatnia a szerencsétlen, fiatal Erinnek.
Eve jól ismeri ezt a fajta heves erőszakot, és a minden jel szerint előre megfontoltan elkövetett tett a remekül palástolt izzó szenvedély és a hűvös számítás illékony elegyét vetíti előre. Az ilyen esetet csak kemény munkával és engesztelhetetlen elszántsággal lehet felderíteni - és nem adja fel, amíg meg nem találja azt, aki még a nászút előtt porrá zúzta az ifjú pár álmait...
Rajtakapva
Hank Thompson egykor ígéretes baseballjátékos volt, egy súlyos sérülés azonban derékba törte a karrierjét. Most pultosként dolgozik egy manhattani bárban. Amikor egy este két Nike melegítős orosz péppé veri, rájön, hogy valaki akar tőle valamit. Csak azt nem tudja, mi az, hol van, és hogyan értesse meg velük, hogy nincs nála.
Hank élete egyik napról a másikra a feje tetejére áll. Mielőtt észbe kaphatna, a fél város a nyomában van. Fogalma sincs, kihez forduljon segítségért, mert nem tudja, kiben bízhat, és nem akarja veszélybe sodorni a barátait. Az egyetlen, akire számíthat, egy Bud nevű macska, akit a szomszédja bízott rá.
Charlie Huston sodró lendületű és eredeti hangvételű krimije Hollywood érdeklődését is felkeltette, a regényből készült, Darren Aronofsky rendezte film 2025-ben kerül mozikba Austin Butler főszereplésével.
Gyilkos hagyaték
Mikor Farkas Róbert főügyészségi ügyészt és Szűcs Gábor rendőr főhadnagyot egy bizarr körülmények között elkövetett gyilkossághoz riasztják, még csak halványan kísérti őket a gondolat, hogy mindez olyan, mintha egy detektívregény lapjaira keveredtek volna.
Miután azonban a szálak az évekkel korábban tisztázatlan körülmények között meghalt, excentrikus krimiíróhoz és annak nem kevésbé különös családjához vezetnek, egyre jobban kezd elmosódni a határ a múlt és a jelen titkai, a kitalált és a valódi bűntettek között.
Az ügyész és a nyomozó mindössze két dologban lehet biztos: ha a rejtély végére akarnak járni, egy olyan ember cselszövéseit kell leleplezniük, aki már évek óta nincs az élők sorában.
És hogy az első gyilkosság csak a kezdet volt.

The Barn
'Haunting . . . The writing is often breathtaking, brutality amplified through perfectly crafted prose.' The Times'Extraordinary . . . Serious history and skillful journalism, but with the nuance and wallop of a finely wrought novel.' Washington Post'With a passion for truth and justice, and a fierce determination to dig for the secrets, Wright Thompson has produced an incredible history of a crime that changed America.' John GrishamHow forces from around the world converged on the Mississippi Delta to bring about the most consequential murder in US history. Emmett Till’s murder is one of the most infamous in American history; a moment that, more than any other, awakened the world to the racism of the Deep South. Yet despite growing up just a few miles from where it happened, Wright Thompson knew nothing of it until he left Mississippi. This is no accident: the cover-up began at once, and it is ongoing. Over the course of five years’ research, Thompson has learnt that almost every part of the standard account of Till’s killing is wrong. In August 1955, after the two men charged with the murder were acquitted by an all-white jury, they gave a false confession to a journalist: one that was misleading about where the murder took place and who was involved. We now know that at least eight people were present, and many more complicit. And we now know precisely where it took place: inside a barn on a 36-square-mile grid called Township 22 North, Range 4 West. This book tells the story of that barn. It is the story of what really happened on the night of August 28, 1955, and of the individuals who have spent decades bringing the truth to light. And it is the story of the centuries-old forces that made that night inevitable: forces that, over the course of 200 years, transformed Township 22 North, Range 4 West from Choctaw land, to a slave plantation, to a sharecropper’s farm, to the site of the most significant murder in US history. The result is a revelatory work of investigative reportage and a panoramic new history of white supremacy in America. It maps the road that the US – and the world – must travel to heal its oldest, deepest wound.

The Spider Covenant
On 10 August 1944, with Germany on the verge of a crushing and humiliating defeat, Heinrich Himmler, the second most powerful Nazi and head of the notorious SS, holds a clandestine meeting in Strasbourg, with a handful of elite industrialists and bankers. A covert organisation is born, codenamed 'Die Spinne' - The Spider. The network is tasked with helping senior SS officers escape the clutches of advancing allied forces. New identities are created, bankrolled by illicit funds, allowing notorious criminals to begin new lives in Europe and South America. Many of them land key roles in the worlds of politics, banking and industry. Decades later, they're able to pass on a privileged and influential birth right to their descendants. Himmler's secret lovechild, Amelie, is also spirited out of Germany by 'Die ,armed with a Nazi nest egg of fifty million dollars. Eighty years on, Amelie's adopted son becomes the head of the Spider network, which has evolved, survived and prospered over the decades under a cloak of secrecy.

And as the temperature rises, will they keep their cool?
