1922. Ruby Vaughn has made a life for herself running a bookshop alongside octogenarian Mr Owen. When she finds herself at Penryth Hall, deep in the Cornish countryside, painful memories emerge of her lost friendship with Tamsyn, now married to the rather sinister Sir Edward Chenowyth.

Edward has been brutally killed in the orchard and fears are rife that a dormant curse has been awoken.

But, to protect her friend, Ruby must work alongside this unsettling man to find out what really happened that night.

We will trust no one but each other, and we will remember that in this place, at this time, there is no way to tell friend from foe.The bombing of Rome in 1943 leaves fourteen-year-old Massimo orphaned and with no choice but to set out on a perilous journey to find his remaining family in Naples. A chance meeting with the mysterious and charismatic Pietro Houdini will deliver both of them to the doors of the monastery of Monte Cassino, a centuries-old haven of contemplation, learning and art.But the abbey is in the path of the relentless Allied advance to Rome. Pietro and Massimo need a plan to survive the coming onslaught and that means out-manoeuvring the Germans who are as interested in the abbey''s art collection as in the murder of two of their officers in the town below.For their plan to work, they must dissemble, disguise, and outwit two armies using skills that Pietro has in spades, but as war edges ever closer, it becomes clear that Massimo is not without a surprise or two either...The Curse of Pietro Houdini is a sweeping tale of resilience, hope and survival which is at once an action-packed adventure heist, an imaginative chronicle of forgotten history and a philosophical coming-of-age story.

Prežila len jediná
Gotický triler z pera autora bestsellerov Rileyho Sagera,
inšpirovaný skutočnými udalosťami.
V roku 1929 celé pobrežie Mainu šokovala správa o krvavej viacnásobnej vražde v honosnom sídle Hope‘s End. V očiach ľudí je jediná vinníčka – Lenora Hopeová, dcéra a sestra zavraždených. Polícia ju však nikdy z ničoho neusvedčila. Samotná Lenora vraždy poprela, ale inak o tej noci odmietala hovoriť. A po zbytok života nevyšla za brány Hope´s End.
Len sedemnásťročná Lenora
obesila si sestru, potvora.
Píše sa rok 1983. Do rozpadávajúceho sa sídla na okraji útesu prichádza zdravotnícka asistentka Kit McDeerová, aby sa postarala o starnúcu a na vozík pripútanú Lenoru. Lenora prekonala niekoľko mŕtvic a nedokáže rozprávať. S Kit komunikujú iba prostredníctvom starého písacieho stroja. Jednej noci Lenora navrhne Kit niečo, čo sa neodmieta – prísľub, že jej rozpovie celú pravdu…
Otca nožom dobodala
a aj matke život vzala.
Kit postupne zisťuje, že za príbehom tej osudnej noci sa skrýva viac, než sa pôvodne zdalo. Plný tajomstiev je aj strašidelný dom na útese, rovnako ako jeho zopár zostávajúcich obyvateľov. Čo naozaj vedia o tom, čo sa vtedy udialo? Kam zmizla predchádzajúca opatrovateľka, ktorá mala uprostred noci tak naponáhlo, že si nezobrala ani len svoje veci? Kit nadobúda pocit, že Lenora jej nehovorí celú pravdu a táto zdanlivo neškodná žena v jej opatere môže byť oveľa nebezpečnejšia, ako si myslela.
Hovorila, že je nevinná,
no prežila len ona, jediná.

Posledná vražda na konci sveta
Celý svet zahalila hustá hmla, ktorá zabila všetko živé. Nedotknutý ostal jediný ostrov. V jeho prekvitajúcej prírode žije stodvadsaťdva ľudí v dokonalej harmónii, ktorú strážia traja vedci. Obyvatelia sa živia rybolovom, obrábajú pôdu a rešpektujú zákaz nočného vychádzania. Pokiaľ majú nejaké pochybnosti, môžu sa obrátiť na Abi, ktorej hlas sa im ozýva v mysliach. Ich idylický život sa náhle skončí, keď je jeden z vedcov brutálne zavraždený.
Jeho smrť spôsobí kolaps bezpečnostného systému okolo ostrova, ktorý nedovoľoval hmle naň preniknúť. Obyvatelia majú stosedem hodín na to, aby vyriešili vraždu, inak hmla pohltí ostrov a ľudstvo nadobro zanikne. Lenže bezpečnostný systém vymazal všetkým spomienky na udalosti z predchádzajúcej noci. Niekto na ostrove je vrah, a ani o tom nevie.

A nyomozó
Dr. Patócs Ilona az ország egyik legismertebb védőügyvédje, többek között a Prisztás-gyilkosság kapcsán ártatlanul elítélt Hatvani István védője volt. Ebben a könyvben életének egy korábbi szakaszát meséli el, amikor az ország első női bűnügyi vizsgálójaként rablási és gyilkossági ügyekben derítette fel az igazságot. Számos emlékezetes esete között akadt robbantás, mérgezés, csecsemőgyilkosság, szerelmi bosszú, rendőrhalál, sőt, a 90-es évek elején nagy port kavart sátánista gyilkosság ügyében is ő járt el. Munkája során azonban nemcsak tolvajokkal, rablókkal és gyilkosokkal kellett megbirkóznia nap mint nap, hanem férfikollégái előítéleteivel is...
A nyomozó egy lebilincselő stílusban megírt igaz történet a rendőri munka mindennapjairól, tele elképesztő, gyomorszorító és néhol kacagtató esetekkel.
Hříchy dávné minulosti - Historické krimi z doby Václava II.
Když pana Tadeáše zastihne prudká bouře, je nucen ukrýt se v nedaleké jeskyni. V ní krom bezpečí před běsnícími živly nachází i těžce zraněného muže, který mu umírá v náručí.
Pán z Příhraz přísahá, že bezpochyby násilnou smrt neznámého pomstí a jeho věrný sluha Vítek je odhodlán mu v tom pomoci, ačkoli to pro něj znamená přiznání se k dávné vině a hrozbu přísného trestu.
Společně se tak vrhají do pátrání, které je zavádí na panství daleko od Tadeášových Příhraz.
Podaří se jim objasnit podivná úmrtí, která na první pohled nic nespojuje, nebo se zaleknou přízraku vracejícího se ze záhrobí, aby pomstil svou smrt?

The Ninja Betrayed
Things get personal for Chinese-Norwegian modern-day ninja Lily Wong in Hong Kong when she dives into the dangerous world of triads, romance, and corporate disaster during the height of the pro-democracy protests. Lily’s mother has been summoned by her grandfather, Gung-Gung to attend an emergency board meeting. Lily is happy to take her father’s place for exotic travel, family reunions, and romantic dates with her new boyfriend, Daniel Kwok, who's there for business. Lily and her mother stay at her grandparents' hillside home on HongKong Island, but tension between Gung-Gung and Ma makes it hard to enjoy the beautiful surroundings, especially with the city in turmoil. Gung-Gung won’t say anything about the meeting and Ma is worried that her career is in jeopardy. Meanwhile, the teenage daughter of Gung-Gung's driver is pulled into the dangerous riots. As Lily and Ma discover shaky finances, questionable loans, and plans for the future involving them both, Lily's escalating romance with Daniel puts her heart at risk. Will her ninja skills allow her to protect her mother, the family business, and the renegade teen while navigating love, corporate intrigue, and murderous triads?
The Ninja's Oath
International action adventure ensues when Lily Wong—a Chinese-Norwegian modern-day ninja—travels from Shanghai to Japan to help family friend and former triad enforcer, Lee Chang, locate and rescue his kidnapped twelve-year-old niece while, back home in Los Angeles, her father’s health wanes. Their mission is aided and complicated by an enigmatic assassin with a discomforting fascination for Lily. When the hunt for the niece leads to another missing relative, the trio of dangerous heroes—ninja, triad, and assassin—are pitted against an even greater foe. Meanwhile, Chang’s family must be moved from the shikumen house in Old Shanghai before the government tears it down. This would be simpler if not for the feud between brothers and the old resentments and intrigues entwined within the stunning history of the city itself.
The Ninja Daughter
After her sister is raped and murdered, Lily Wong dedicates her life and ninjaskills to the protection of women. But her mission is complicated. Not only does she live above the Chinese restaurant owned by her Norwegian father and inspired by the recipes of her Chinese mother, but she has to hide her true self from her Hong Kong tiger mom who is already disappointed in her daughter's less thanfeminine ways, and who would be horrified to know what she had become. But when a woman and her son she escorted safely to an abused women’s shelter return home to dangerous consequences, Lily is forced to not only confront her family and her past, but team up with a mysterious—and very lethal—stranger to rescue them.
