Sherlock Holmes a miskatonická monstra
Je jaro roku 1895; více než deset let boje proti tajuplným bytostem stálo doktora Johna Watsona jeho milovanou ženu Mary a téměř podlomilo zdraví Sherlocka Holmese. Oba společníci však i přesto neváhají, když jsou povoláni do nechvalně proslulého blázince Bedlam, kde najdou pacienta hovořícího r’lyehštinou, jazykem Prastarých. Kromě toho je strašlivě zjizvený a neumí říct, kdo je.
Detektivové zjišťují, že tento pacient byl kdysi vědcem, studentem na Miskatonické univerzitě a jedním ze dvou lidí, kteří přežili k nezdaru odsouzenou výpravu po řece Miskatonic, na níž měl být polapen polomytický shoggoth. Jak se však ocitl v Londýně, zbavený rozumu?
Když jej poté z Bedlamu unesou síly vymykající se normálnímu smrtelnému chápání, začne být zřejmé, že tento případ zahrnuje mnohem víc než jednoho vyšinutého Bostoňana.
Holmes a Watson musejí zjistit, co se doopravdy stalo na oné osudné plavbě v Nové Anglii; jen tak totiž mohou odhalit pravdu a dozvědět se, kdo stojí za miskatonickým monstrem…

Hiányzol
Kat Donovan, a New York-i rendőrség nyomozónője egy népszerű internetes társkereső oldalon böngészik, amikor megakad a szeme egy profilképen: a fotóról egykori barátja, Jeff néz vissza rá, aki annak idején összetörte a szívét, és akivel tizennyolc éve találkozott utoljára... Kat úgy érzi, elérkezett a pillanat, hogy lezárja a múltat. Amikor azonban megpróbálja felvenni a kapcsolatot a férfival, reménye pillanatok alatt szertefoszlik, és helyét sötét gyanú, majd rettegés veszi át. A nyomozónő ugyanis váratlanul egy borzalmas összeesküvés nyomaira bukkan, amelyben lelketlen szörnyetegek cserkészik be és pusztítják el áldozataikat. Kat az ügy megszállottja lesz, és a nyomozás során egész korábbi élete új megvilágításba kerül. Eközben ő maga is egyre nagyobb veszélyben forog, ám ahhoz, hogy megmeneküljön, a sötétség legmélyebb bugyraiba kell alászállnia. És nem tudhatja, visszatér-e valaha...
"Reynaldo idekint jött rá, tizenkilenc éves korában, hogy fél a sötétben. Az igazi sötétben. A sötét sötétségben. A városban sosincs igazi sötétség. Ott mindig világítanak az utcai lámpák vagy az ablakokból, kirakatokból kiszűrődő fények, és sehol sem lehet megtapasztalni az igazi, éjsötét feketeséget. Itt, az erdőben akkor sem látta a kezét, ha az arca elé tartotta. Bármi lehet idekint. Bármi leshet rá a sötétből."

Mess(H)ed Up
In volume I of this series, we get to know our heroes, Gloria, Melissa, and Augustine, who work for a pharmaceutical company called MINERVA, which is staffed by an array of colourful characters with whom we have all worked (whether we like it or not) over the years. Despite their encounters with these awful people, like the office bore, the letch, and the bully, together they begin to uncover information that the company has tried to hide, and start to unpick MINERVA’s dirty secret. This book is for anyone and everyone who has worked in an office. The characters are recognisable, regardless in which sector you work. It is also about the unbelievable story of a device scandal, where people were left with irreversible physical and mental damage, caused by the implant of a device. Although it is unlikely that anyone working for the company set out to cause such harm, once it became aware of the situation, colleagues colluded to cover up the facts and this corruption went on for many years. It took whistle blowers like the heroes in our story to bring the truth to light and make the public aware of what was really going on.
Ctihodný školáček
Po románu Jeden musí z kola ven je Ctihodný školáček druhým počinem autorovy volné trilogie spojené tajemným sovětským superšpionem „Karlou“... Je rok 1974 a George Smiley se snaží postavit britskou tajnou službu přezdívanou Cirkus znovu na nohy, poté co její pověst a síť kontaktů zničil dvojitý agent Bill Haydon. Úzký tým jeho spolupracovníků přijde na to, že v Hongkongu operuje vážený obchodník Drake Kao ve prospěch Karly a tím britské kolonii škodí; ale agenti objeví i to, že Drake má v rudé Číně bratra Nelsona, vysoce postaveného státního úředníka, a že se bratři mají v Hongkongu tajně setkat. O únos a vytěžení Nelsona usiluje i CIA, sice spolupracovník Britů, ale jen občasný a málo spolehlivý. Aby operace únosu proběhla úspěšně, Smiley najme spícího agenta Jerryho Westerbyho, jemuž se sice přezdívá „ctihodný školáček“, protože jako šlechtic vychodil ty nejlepší školy, ale jeho otec zbankrotoval. Jerry se tedy živí jako člověk na špinavou práci v nebezpečných situacích.

Step Inside My Soul
'A brilliant storyteller' SARAH PINBOROUGH'If you're looking for a dark, disturbing and ultimately devastating read set in the depths of Northumberland then this is the one. Though if you're a writer you might want to read it with the lights on and a house full of friends' Trevor WoodHe wants your life... Matt Langley used to be somebody. Back in the late '90s his star shone bright. Thanks to his debut novel, the shocking The Devil's Debt, he was at the forefront of the Bright Young Things. He was on chat shows and culture shows. He was the man of the moment. And then it all stopped, because there was no second book. Now, with his marriage to Naz on the rocks, they're trying to start over. They've sold the house that The Devil's Debt built and moved to a farmhouse deep in the wilds of Northumbria, where no one knows them, and for a while their new life is fragile but good. Furthermore, Matt's leading a writing group at the library and is even thinking about writing again. Marlin is part of that writing group. He's a quiet young man who has survived things no kid should ever have to. On meeting Matt he shows him his battered copy of The Devil's Debt. The book is filled with underlinings and notes and, he soon discovers, messages from the young man's dead mother. That book serves as the basis for a bond between the two. Matt feels like they have a kinship, and wants to help the young writer. So, when he and Naz find him sleeping rough they invite him into their house for a week or so, until Marlin is back on his feet. But Marlin is a malevolent cuckoo they've brought into their home.

Program Jošua
MAX EŠTE NETUŠÍ, ŽE O PÁR DNÍ SPÁCHA HROZNÝ ZLOČIN. ALE JOŠUA TO UŽ VIE.
Neveľmi úspešný spisovateľ Max Rhode a jeho manželka Kim, povolaním pilotka, vychovávajú nevlastnú dcérku Jolu. Max je bezúhonný občan, dodržiava zákony a na rozdiel od svojho brata Cosma, ktorý sa terapiou opakovane pokúša zbaviť pedofilných sklonov, sa nikdy v živote ničím neprevinil. O niekoľko dní však má spáchať jeden z najstrašnejších zločinov, akého je človek schopný. Ale on sám ešte o ničom nevie… Na rozdiel od tých, ktorí ho chcú zastaviť skôr, ako bude neskoro.
Program Jošua je zameraný na prevenciu zločinu. I keď nesie meno starozákonného proroka, nie je to ľudská bytosť, ale program, ktorý pracuje podobne ako umelá inteligencia a pokúša sa v predstihu zabrániť zločinom, ku ktorým môže s veľkou pravdepodobnosťou zakrátko dôjsť. Jeho závery však nemusia byť vždy správne a spravodlivé a môžu na to doplatiť aj nevinní.
