Így leplezd le a saját gyilkosodat
A tizenhét éves Frances Adams 1965 nyarán egy angol vidéki vásárban hátborzongató jóslatot kap: egy napon gyilkosság áldozata lesz. Bármily hihetetlenek a kóklernek tűnő jósnő szavai, Frances nem tud tőlük szabadulni, és attól kezdve egész életén át rögeszmésen próbál felderíteni egy bűntényt, amely még meg sem történt.
Közel hatvan évvel később Annie Adamst meghívják egy találkozóra gazdag, visszavonultan élő nagynénje, Frances hatalmas vidéki birtokára. Mire azonban a lány megérkezik a bájos angol faluba, Castle Knollba, Francest holtan találják – bekövetkezett az, amit mindig is váltig állított. Annie – nem mellesleg pályakezdő krimiíró – a nagynéni naplójával a kezében elszántan keresi a gyilkost, hiszen a jókora örökség azt illeti, aki leleplezi a bűnöst. Ám Frances egész életében maga is titkokat és hazugságokat ásott elő, emiatt szinte valamennyi falubelinek lehetett indítéka a gyilkosságra.
Vajon képes lesz-e Annie kibogozni a sötét Castle Knoll-i rejtélyt, vagy a múlt sebeinek feltépése őt magát sodorja a gyilkos útjába? Ahogy egyre közelebb jut az igazsághoz, mind jobban retteg attól, hogy nem nagynénje vagyonát, hanem a sorsát fogja megörökölni.

Who Knew the Ridpath Girl
A gripping mystery perfect for fans of Amy Tintera following one man's investigation into the death of his sister years earlier, forcing him to confront old faces, a strong-willed detective, and a string of new murders in his remote small town. Welcome to Meander, where truths are best left buried. Gracen Ridpath has a secret. As the host of a successful YouTube channel for stay-at-home-dads, Gracen is known for his handy tips and trademark self-deprecating humor. But off camera, he struggles with the aftereffects of a tragedy that shaped him and everyone else in his hometown of Meander: the death of his eleven-year-old sister, Douggy. When Gracen mentions his sister’s long-ago death for the first time on his channel, he taps a vein of interest he hadn’t known existed. Soon enough, he finds himself discussing a theory he’s kept quiet for years: that Douggy chose to die. And he’s finally figured out why . . . and who is to blame. At first, Gracen is grateful for the jump in views, until his shift in content brings Quinn, Douggy’s childhood best friend, back to Meander looking for answers. And when people start dying around them and detectives start asking questions, Gracen and Quinn find themselves at the center of an investigation that will prove to have consequences deadlier than they ever could’ve imagined.
Panenky
Policejní auto pronásleduje na provensálském venkově podvodné kšeftaře. Dojede k opuštěné polorozbořené kapli, na níž se překvapivě skví zbrusu nový zámek. Intenzivní zápach, který se šíří kolem, dává tušit, že se tu odehrál odporný zločin. Uvnitř najdou kriminalisté šest zohavených mrtvol v různých stádiích rozkladu.
Brutální případ je svěřen respektovanému komisaři Venturimu zvanému Kovboj. Dostává tak šanci vykoupit se ze střetu s generální inspekcí, která proti němu právě vede kárné řízení. Venturi si k vyšetřování vyžádá psychologa, jímž se ukáže být mladá a talentovaná kriminoložka Olivia Montalvertová s něžnou přezdívkou Mentolka. Přes počáteční nedůvěru ostříleného policisty k čerstvě vystudované dívce se z obou stane sehraný tandem.
Vzájemná součinnost policejní zkušenosti a ženské intuice bude nezbytnou podmínkou úspěchu, neboť pachatelem je psychicky narušený člověk. Vzhledem ke stavu těl, která vrah dokonale oholil a převlékal do šatů, lze usuzovat, že si se svými oběťmi hraje jako s panenkami. A v dalším zabíjení bude pokračovat, dokud ho kriminalisté nezastaví.

Bombový atentátnik
V jedno sobotné ráno nastúpi do metra žena s bombou a hlavným mestom otrasie výbuch. Oslo je okamžite uzavreté, kráľovská rodina je prevezená do bezpečia a všetky národné jednotky sú v pohotovosti. Novinárke Jessice Blomqvistovej vzápätí zavolá muž, ktorý tvrdí, že stojí za útokom a ďalšie bomby budú nasledovať každých dvadsaťštyri hodín.
Vyšetrovaním je poverený elitný policajný tím pod vedením Holgera Muncha. K nim sa pridáva bystrá a nádejná Mia Krügerová, ktorá práve odviedla svoju sestru do liečebne. Mia si rýchlo uvedomí, že prípad je zložitejší, než sa na prvý pohľad zdá – atentátnička bola úspešnou právničkou v prestížnej firme, aký mohla mať motív? V jej dome sa navyše nájdu tri podivne vystavené predmety. Žeby im niekto zanechal odkaz?
Čas neúprosne beží a s nedeľným ránom prichádza ďalší výbuch.
Bombový atentátnik nadväzuje na knihu Vlk a sleduje ďalší z prvých prípadov vyšetrovateľky Mii Krügerovej.

Jenny Cooperová má tajomstvo
Je to pravda alebo výplod chorej mysle?
Sedemdesiatšesťročná vdova Linda sa po strate manžela a po správe, že jej najlepšia priateľka Carol trpí demenciou, cíti stratená a osamelá. Jej dcéra Kleo s manželom Mickom sa síce prisťahujú k nej domov, ale namiesto útechy jej do života vnesú viac napätia a sporov. Kleo nepracuje a snaží sa dokončiť dizertačnú prácu a Mick rozbieha vlastné podnikanie. Klienti však neprichádzajú a Mick trávi čoraz viac času pred televízorom s pivom v ruke.
Aby Linda aspoň na chvíľu unikla domácej nepohode, navštevuje Carol v zariadení pre seniorov. Tam spozná staručkú, nezvyčajne energickú Jenny Cooperovú, ktorá sa jej už pri prvom rozhovore prizná, že je vrahyňa.
Zdesená Linda spočiatku považuje jej priznanie za výplod mozgu zahmleného pavučinou demencie, ale čím viac času s ňou strávi, tým viac sa zamýšľa: mohla by to byť pravda? Má niečo spoločné aj s náhlym úmrtím jedného z obyvateľov zariadenia? Alebo je na vine neúprosná staroba?

Všetky farby temnoty
1975. Patch je jednooký tínedžer. Krížom cez tvár nosí čiernu pásku a za opaskom mocnú šabľu. Jeho jedinou kamarátkou je trinásťročná Saint, ktorá žije so svojou starou mamou. V malom mestečku Monta Clare v Missouri, kde sa všetci dobre poznajú, majú obaja jasnú budúcnosť. Škola, práca a spoločné starnutie. Všetko sa zmení, keď neznámy muž napadne dcéru miestnej bohatej rodiny. Patch sa nečakane stáva hrdinom a vôbec netuší, že záblesk odvahy navždy upraví smer celého jeho života. A nielen jeho.
Všetky farby temnoty je psychologický triler s unikátnymi zvratmi, ktorý nie je len o tragédii, ale najmä o tom, čo sa deje po nej. Prepracované dielo anglického spisovateľa Chrisa Whitakera uchváti čitateľov jedinečným lyrickým štýlom. Netradičný príbeh je pomalou sondou do charakterov naprieč desaťročiami a žánrami, ktorý zaručene prinesie zimomriavky.

The Divorce
A brand-new, gripping thriller from Freida McFadden, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of The Housemaid!
What is a happily ever after really worth?
Naomi was living the quintessential love story. Boy meets girl. They fall in love, get married, buy a dream house, start a family…
Then-he kicks her out, hires the city's best divorce lawyers, drains their accounts, and takes up with a 20-something.
It's a brutal end to the story. Naomi should accept defeat: move into a dingy apartment, get back into the workforce, and piece together the shattered remains of her life.
Except, why should she?
Instead, Naomi fixates on her husband's new girlfriend. What begins as cynical curiosity soon twists into obsession-and then into something far darker. As Naomi uncovers secrets she never imagined, she realizes her own life may be in danger.
But if it keeps her perfect family intact, isn't it worth it?
In The Divorce, #1 New York Times and internationally bestselling author Freida McFadden delivers a razor-sharp, subversive thriller where love curdles into vengeance, and survival becomes the most dangerous game of all.
Shadows Over Cymru
From the peaks of Eryri to dramatic coastlines, misty valleys and haunted mines, Wales is a land whose myth and folklore has long been reflected in a thriving storytelling tradition, with the dragons and sorcerers of the Mabinogion and Arthurian legend laying a path for later tales of the Tylwyth Teg, and the pitiless fair folk of Arthur Machen's fictional world. To show the breadth of the strange tales inspired by the Celtic history and local legends of Cymru, horror expert Aaron Worth presents an exciting new selection of Anglophone Welsh fiction, including folkloric retellings, classics of the early twentieth-century weird and chilling pieces by writers from beyond the country's borders. Featuring stories by Dylan Thomas, Christianna Brand, Algernon Blackwood, Arthur Machen, Margiad Evans and many more, this collection welcomes you to the darker side of Cymru.
Murder by Design
In a world carefully constructed for murder, solving crimes takes a keen mind and eye in a witty, clever, and fresh reinvention of the whodunit by #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Goldberg.

He’s also a brilliant insurance investigator who solves baffling crimes by figuring out how the design of the man-made world around us makes them possible. Enter Wally Nash: a struggling actor hired to keep Bixby from offending everyone he meets. Their first case together looks like a simple accident. Caroline Crowley took a nasty fall down a staircase at a shopping mall in front of dozens of witnesses. Video clearly shows the deadly misstep.

I'll Watch Your Baby
A wildly inventive and unputdownable robbery-gone-wrong novel, soaked in Mississippi sweat and with a supernatural twist, from acclaimed author Neena Viel. Perfect for fans of My Sister, The Serial Killer and How to Kill Your Family1974. Lottie Turner is already infamous. Running a wheel of schemes and scams, she's willing to work for what she wants in...creative ways.

And the only way to take what's owed you is to cross the line no one else is willing to cross. 1994. Bless has finally found the family she deserved. After suffocating slowly with lackluster parents and a non-starter past, she's found the friends that means everything to her. That she'd live and die for. As they make their way across the country, one smash and grab at a time, Bless is used to acting fast and thinking quickly. But someone is playing a long game. Someone has unfinished business. Soon Bless is forced to extricate the horrifying pain of her past and choose to find forgiveness in her heart, or get revenge. A suffocating and sharp narrative horror novel for fans of Victor LaValle and My Sister the Serial Killer, I'll Watch Your Baby is a riveting portrayal of one woman's life-pursued, scrutinized and vilified-and the impact her image has had over the course of generations.
Love and Terror
In August 1969, members of charismatic leader Charles Manson's countercultural "family" murdered some of Hollywood's "beautiful people," most famously Sharon Tate, eight and a half months pregnant at the time. The killers left behind evidence intended to implicate Black radicals and to trigger an apocalyptic race war. What happened instead was that the gruesome murders placed the entire counterculture un-der suspicion and then came to mean, in Joan Didion's formulation, the end of the sixties. They have been a cornerstone of the true crime genre ever since. Drawing on newly released archival material of case transcripts, Love and Terror recasts the Manson case as an exemplary site for historical scholarship. The book shows how the standard story of the murders came to be told the way it was. In place of this shopworn narrative, Claudia Verhoeven presents a kaleidoscopic history at the center of which is a far stranger portrait of Manson, the man who became the ultimate murder mastermind in the American mythos. Based on years of investigative research, Love and Terror rewrites the Manson murders as a prism of American culture, an event framed by global avant-gardist movements and revolutionary violence, and an early sign of our age of spectacle. This history is confused, tumultuous, and pell-mell; it is carnival-esque; and it is a downward spiral into terror that, however, is simultaneously thrilling and repetitively compulsive, which is why the song's refrain about the repeat experience of going up and down the helter skelter is also an apt metaphor for the endless retelling of the murders and the never-ending productivity of the Manson industrial complex/culture industry.
