I Will Find The Key
A man walks into a private investigator's office, holds up a photograph and says: 'I want you to find out if I killed this man.'
Private investigator Julia Stark receives an unannounced visit at the office. The man at the door is one of the owners of a successful family business. The day before, he was present at a board meeting and dinner at his estate in the northwestern part of Sweden. The following morning, he finds a photograph in his phone of a bloody man, tied up with a bag over his head.
Due to alcohol-related amnesia, the man has no idea where the picture comes from and wants to hire Stark Detective Agency to clear his name before the police get involved. Julia asks her ex-husband Sidney Mendelson to take time off from the City Police and assist her in the investigation. There is still a glimmer of hope left in Julia that this might be her chance to win him back.
Welcomed as guests at the opulent estate, Julia and Sidney begin to search for the truth while dining and socializing with each of the family members that could theoretically be involved in the murder.
She's solved every mystery.
But none like this . . .
Jizvy
Dcera policejní ředitelky Margrethe Dybbolové odešla už před několika dny z domu a nikdo neví kam. Vzhledem k tomu, že se už několik týdnů pohřešuje jiná dívka z okolí, dělá si o ni Dybbolová vážné starosti. Existuje mezi zmizením obou dívek nějaká souvislost?
Inspektor Liam Stark je právě povolán k mrtvole člověka, kterému někdo vyřezal do kůže hrozivé rány připomínající okénka adventního kalendáře. Liama i jeho osvědčenou parťačku Deu Torpovou pátrání záhy přivede k Monice le Fevreové, která vystavovala vycpaná zvířata s úplně stejnými jizvami. Postupně vychází najevo, že i boj za spravedlnost může mít své velmi temné stránky. Kde je hranice mezi dobrem a zlem? Spravedlivým trestem a krutostí? Kolik lidí bude muset ještě pykat za své činy?
Pro policisty z dánského ostrova Fyn je tentokrát vyšetřování nezvykle citlivou záležitostí, která se jich nakonec dotkne ještě osobněji, než si vůbec dokázali představit.

The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym and Other Tales
The only novel completed by the master of the short-story form, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym relates the rollicking adventures of a boy from Nantucket as he stows away on a whaling ship and experiences the hardships and dangers of life at sea - including a mutiny, violent storms and near-starvation - before voyaging to the farthest regions of the southern hemisphere. The result is a yarn as thrilling as any of Poe's horror stories.
Alongside Pym's exploits, this collection includes many celebrated tales, such as 'The Cask of Amontillado', 'The Gold Bug' and 'Hop-Frog', as well as Poe's second, unfinished novel, The Journal of Julius Rodman, all of which bear witness to the narrative genius of one of America's greatest storytellers.
Contents: The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym, Loss of Breath, Mystification, How to write a Blackwood Article, A Predicament, The Balloon Hoax, The Cask of Amontillado, The Gold Bug, Hop-Frog, The Journal of Julius Rodman

Az írók titkos élete
Felejthetetlen olvasmány, szenzációs irodalmi kirakó, amely akkor válik igazán ördögivé, amikor az író az utolsó darabot is a helyére illeszti.
1999-ben, három kultuszregénnyé vált művel a háta mögött a híres író, Nathan Fawles végleg leszámol az írással, és visszavonul a Földközi-tenger partvidékének közelében fekvő, csodálatos és vad Beaumont-szigetre.
2018 ősze. Fawles az elmúlt húsz évben egyetlen interjút sem adott. Regényei azonban változatlanul rabul ejtik az olvasókat. Mathilde Monney, egy fiatal svájci újságírónő a szigetre utazik, hogy megfejtse a titkot.
Ugyanaznap egy női holttestet sodor partra a víz, és a hatóságok megtiltják a ki- és beutazást a szigetre. Veszélyes párharc kezdődik Mathilde és Nathan között, ahol néma igazság és makacs hazugság áll szemben egymással, a szerelmet és a félelmet pedig csak egy hajszál választja el egymástól...

Az angyal hív
Újra a boltokban Musso-sorozatunk első kötete Az angyal hív.
New York. Kennedy repülőtér. A zsúfolt csarnokban egymásnak ütközik egy férfi és egy nő. Némi vita után mindketten folytatják útjukat. Madeline és Jonathan korábban soha nem találkozott, és soha nem kellett volna viszontlátniuk egymást. De a holmijukat összeszedve véletlenül elcserélik a mobiljaikat. Mire észreveszik a tévedésüket, már 10 ezer kilométer választja el őket egymástól: a nőnek virágboltja van Párizsban, a férfi egy San Franciscó-i éttermet vezet. Kíváncsiságuknak engedve mindketten átnézik a másik telefonjának tartalmát. Kettős indiszkréció és egy nagy felfedezés: életüket összeköti egy titok, amelyről azt hitték, sikerült örökre eltemetniük.
„Szerettem volna keverni a műfajokat, és olyan cselekményt felépíteni, amely ötvözi egy nyomozás titokzatosságát, a thriller idegtépő feszültségét és a modern kapcsolatok fejlődését bemutató szerelmi történetet. Nem hívnám bűnügyi regénynek, de lehetne, mondjuk, romantikus thriller.” – Guillaume Musso
