Vymazlené vraždy: Důkaz proti Lásce
Uprostřed Radotínského lesa se nachází zastřelený muž v kontejneru zamčeném zevnitř. Pistole uvnitř není. Na druhém konci Prahy hospodská rvačka končí smrtí. Stejkový nůž prorazil spánkovou kost. V Liberci došlo k otravě extrémní dávkou upravené Viagry. Vzal si ji a čekal, že přijde Láska, ale přišla smrt. Co mají tři muži společného? Jsou to vůbec vraždy? Pokud ano: Jedna, dvě, nebo tři? Kolik je vrahů? Proč ti tři, co se neznali, museli zemřít? Odpověď přinese až propojení všech zdánlivě nesourodých a zcela odlišných úmrtí do jednoho případu.

Jinými slovy... vražda
Autor detektivek a občasný amatérský vyšetřovatel Christopher Holmes je nyní šťastně zasnoubený a zvažuje, že by se vydal na novou kariérní dráhu a začal psát o skutečných zločinech. Jenomže pak se na dvorku jeho předchozího domu najde mrtvola. A jako kdyby to nestačilo, zničehonic se objeví Christopherův ex a naznačuje, že by tělo mohlo patřit Christopherově bývalému asistentovi.
Na Holmesovu domácnost se tak řítí stejný problém jako vždycky. Jinými slovy… vražda.
Duch cení zuby
Mors vincit omnia. Smrt vítězí nad vším.
Londýn 1883. Závoj mezi živými a mrtvými se ztenčil. Média s fialovýma očima komunikují s duchy pod bedlivým dohledem Královské mluvčí společnosti a šestnáctiletý Silas Bell by si raději své fialové oči vydloubal, než aby se stal poslušnou manželkou Mluvčího. Podle matky do konce roku uzavře sňatek. Nezáleží na tom, že potřeboval deset let a řadu učitelů, aby zvládl skrýt svůj autismus, že praktikuje chirurgické zákroky na zaříznutých prasatech z jatek, že je chlapec, i když celý svět trvá na opaku a vidí ho jako dívku.
Poté, co jeho snaha uniknout domluvenému sňatku selže, je Silasovi diagnostikována Závojová nemoc – tajemná choroba, v jejímž důsledku ženy s fialovýma očima propadají šílenství – a je poslán do Braxtonské dívčí školy a sanatoria. Zařízení je to chladné, pečovatelé nemilosrdní a studentky buďto rozkvetou v žádoucí nevěsty, nebo zmizí. A tak když Silase začnou duchové pohřešovaných studentek prosit o pomoc, rozhodne se sáhnout do útrob Braxtonu a odhalit jeho prohnilé vnitřnosti světu – pokud ho ovšem škola napřed nezlomí.
Fotograf
Sedmnáct let. Tak dlouho uniká vrah přezdívaný Fotograf. Žádné stopy, žádné chyby. A teď znovu udeřil – stejný rukopis, stejná brutalita. Detektiv Hank Giorgio je na nucené dovolené, pod drobnohledem vnitřních záležitostí a odkázaný na práci z domova. Jenže když Fotograf opět udeří, nemůže zůstat stranou. Tentokrát je k pravdě blíž než kdy dřív. Otázkou zůstává, kdo nakonec bude lovcem a kdo kořistí.
Assassinations that Shaped the Twentieth Century
Assassination has been a political and military tool for thousands of years. In the view of many generals and emperors, it was cheaper and more effective than assembling an army and pitching soldiers into combat with the enemy - when the result was never clear cut or easy to achieve.The twentieth century was, perhaps more than any other period, an era of military, political and social assassinations. Their effect was invariably huge, world-changing in some instances. From the killing of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in 1914 to the murder of Mahatma Gandhi in 1948, from the death of John Lennon to the assassination of men like President Kennedy and Martin Luther King, the assassin''s bombs, bullets, and knives cut a swathe across modern society.''Assassinations that Shaped the Twentieth Century'' logs and describes many of the more notable killings. It places the assassinations in context, charting their effect and significance. The book also looks at ''failed'' assassination attempts and at killings that were planned but never carried out.Written in Phil Carradice''s easy and elegant style, the book is thoroughly researched and presented in a logical manner. It is an essential addition to the bookshelves of anyone with an interest in twentieth-century history.

The Labyrinth
Middle of the week, in front of the school where she drops off her son every day, Draupadi witnesses something grotesque.

Does one dare explore the limits of courage when the stakes are life and safety? From the pen of one of Odisha’s most inventive writers comes a novel of quiet perseveration and struggle for a better life within the parameters of genteel norms and bureaucracy.
Sebzett lelkek
Az egész falu sejtette, hogy nem lesz jó vége, ha Gabriel hazaköltözik. És most, amikor Beth elnézi a szeretett férfit, aki gyilkosság vádjával áll a bíróság előtt, önkéntelenül arra gondol, hogy igazuk volt.
Tizenhét évesen ismerkedett meg Gabriellel. Azon a szédült, varázslatos nyáron a fiú hatására mindent másként gondolt, érzett és látott. Azt hitte, egy nagy, soha véget nem érő szerelem kezdete az a nyár. Amikor azonban Gabriel elment, és azzá vált, akinek az anyja akarta látni, Beth összeomlott.
Frank segítségével állt talpra. Az együtt felépített életük pedig egészen más lett, mint amilyet Beth Gabriellel elképzelt. És mégis, volt idő, nem is kevés, amikor boldognak érezte magát. Nézte a férjét és a fiát, ahogy traktorral járják a gazdaságot, és egy pillanatig sem kételkedett benne, hogy ez az ő élete.
De most Gabriel visszajött, és Bethben kártyavárként omlik össze minden, amit bizonyosságnak hitt. Tíz év múltán is működik közöttük a kémia. Beth pedig jól tudja, hogy amit tesz, nem helyes, és másoknak is árthat vele. De hogyan mondhatna le arról, hogy adjon egy második esélyt az első szerelemnek?
A Sebzett lelkek sodró szerelmi történet lehetetlen döntésekről, pusztító következményekről és az elveszettnek hitt reményről.

Classic Railway Stories
In Victorian England the expansion of railways changed history. Landscapes and cities were transformed and, for the first time, people travelled for miles at unimaginable speeds. It’s no wonder that the golden age of steam travel inspired a rich array of short stories.
Classic Railway Stories is part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, pocket-sized classics bound in real cloth with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. Train travel was disruptive, fast and sometimes perilous – all the ingredients too of a good short story.
Strangers and acquaintances are thrown together and missing their stop is also a great plot device. Then there are the perils of travelling alone to somewhere new, possibly in the dark when who knows what crimes and mysteries might unfold. All these narrative tricks play out in this diverting collection.
In Margaret Oliphant’s moving story, a young wife escapes her abusive husband when their train leaves without him. In ‘Holding Up a Train’ O. Henry gives an account of the pros and cons of being a train robber and Saki wittily describes a mother’s attempt to control her unruly children.
With crime and mystery from the likes of Arthur Conan Doyle and Maurice le Blanc there’s so much here to entertain.
