All the Pretty Girls
In a thrilling series from New York Times bestselling author J.T. Ellison, a serial killer is targeting young women across the South, and each new kill comes with a grisly clue pointing to the next victim. When a young woman is found dead just outside of Nashville, strangled and handless, homicide lieutenant Taylor Jackson is quick to the scene. So is FBI Special Agent John Baldwin, whose presence suggests that the murder is not the work of a random opportunist. A love poem left nearby alludes to something more sinister: This is the work of the “Southern Strangler,” a serial killer terrorizing women from Louisiana to Virginia. It’s the kind of case Jackson thrives on. At thirty-five, Metro Nashville’s youngest lieutenant is still an idealist, hell-bent on protecting the city she calls home. And she’s determined to avoid the broken, lonely path she’s seen other cops take. But while she and Baldwin share more than a working relationship, she’s not ready to go public. With victims across multiple states, Jackson and Baldwin race to find a pattern before the killer strikes again. But then a shocking connection between the Strangler and a local reporter brings them closer to the truth behind the killer’s identity—one that could unveil a family’s darkest secrets. Revised edition: This edition of All the Pretty Girls includes editorial revisions.
Nyaralóvendégek
A kémek partja című kötetben megismert egykori CIíügynökök újra bevetésen!
A Martini Klub, azaz Maggie Bird „könyvklubja” egészen különleges, hiszen a tagjai egykori kémek, akik inkognitójukat megőrizve élik békés nyugdíjas éveiket a tengerparti Purity városában. Erre a nyárra sincs más tervük, mint hogy martinit kortyolgatva olvasgassanak, és a helyi madárvilágban gyönyörködjenek.
Ám a kisvárost elözönlik a nyaralóvendégek, és Jo Thibodeau rendőrfőnöknek gyakran meggyűlik a baja a turistákkal: zsúfolásig telt utcák, bárverekedések, apró lopások. Ráadásként pedig egy tinédzser nyomtalanul eltűnik a tó partján… Amikor Maggie jó barátja és szomszédja lesz az első számú gyanúsított, a Martini Klub tagjai kénytelenek újra félretenni a koktéljaikat, hogy belevessék magukat az ügybe.
Tess Gerritsen ebben a kiválóan felépített és fordulatos regényben mesterien ötvözi a családi drámát a kémthriller izgalmával. A Martini Klub szerethető karakterei pedig ezúttal is elemükben vannak, és semmi sem tarthatja vissza őket attól, hogy kiderítsék az igazságot.
Mandarínský sršeň
Spisovatel pohádek a pohodových příběhů Vlastimil Peška vstoupil i na pole detektivní literatury.
Jeho příběh Mandarínský sršeň má podtitul Detektivka s nevšední zápletkou. Nebývá zvykem, aby se v detektivkách objevil i humor. Ostatně ten je s Peškovým spisovatelským perem nerozlučně spjatý.
Děj detektivního příběhu, ve kterém sehraje hlavní roli mandarínský sršeň, zavede čtenáře až do dalekých Japonských Alp, ale také do vesnice nedaleko Ústí nad Orlicí, do cikánské osady za slovenskými hranicemi a nakonec i do Bratislavy, kde zmizelého nebožtíka vyloví policie z vln Dunaje. Čtivá detektivka je svého podtitulu hodna. Čtenáře potěší nejenom netradiční zápletkou, ale i zmíněným humorem.

Eliška, pro niž už chystaný sňatek přestal být pouhou diplomaticky dojednanou dohodou, se strachuje o Janův život, a požádá proto Adama o pomoc…

Japanese Gothic

Broken Plea
Was there more than one killer? Had the crime scene been cleaned and sanitized before the police arrived? Was furniture staged to throw off detectives? In one of the most extraordinary true crime stories ever published, Broken Plea questions what really happened in the house on King Road—and the results of that investigation will astound you. In the early morning hours of November 13, 2022, four lives were lost in a brutal crime in Moscow, Idaho—and a nation demanded answers. When a suspect accepted a plea bargain, the story seemed settled. Justice, many believed, had been served. Broken Plea challenges that assumption. Drawing on court records, investigative timelines, witness statements, and apparently overlooked inconsistencies, this meticulously researched exposé examines how a rush to judgment may have shaped one of the most closely watched murder cases in recent memory. As the official narrative hardened, critical leads went unexplored, contradictory evidence was minimized, and alternative explanations faded from view. This book does not claim certainty where none exists. Instead, it asks the questions that were never fully pursued: What happens when pressure to close a case outweighs the search for truth? What evidence may have been sidelined, and why? And what are the consequences when a plea doesn’t end scrutiny but invites i? lear-eyed, unsparing, and deeply unsettling, Broken Plea reopens the case—and invites readers to look again at what justice demands when the truth remains unresolved.

In the Shadow of the Ripper
For centuries, it was believed that a corpse would ‘bleed anew’ in the presence of its murderer. Chaucer wrote about it; so did Shakespeare. Only slowly, as the Renaissance and the Age of Reason drove away the shadows of superstition, did forensic science find its feet. From the Ratlciffe Highway murders of 1811 to the first murder trial with fingerprint technology (the Stratton brothers in 1905), In the Shadow of the Ripper charts the grisly history of crime and focuses on the technological developments that brought real justice just a little closer. General practitioners, police surgeons, anatomists, chemists and many others argued with each other in spectacular cases like the Ripper murders in 1888, the poisonings of William Palmer, Florence Maybrick and the axe frenzy of Lizzie Borden. And if the expert witnesses disagreed, how were juries, ‘twelve men and true’, with no scientific knowledge supposed to come to a verdict at a murder tria? oday, we take forensic science with all its brilliance for granted. In the Shadow of the Ripper looks at how it all began. The Ripper case is a shining example of the fact that it does not matter how many forensic advances are made, a killer in the shadows can sometimes outwit the police and science for over 135 years … and counting.
