Vražedné roráty
„Fuj, to je ale kosa!“ zahalil se postarší muž zimomřivě do kabátu. „Však se hned zahřeješ! Vezmi mobil a zavolej měšťáky, ať si pro něj přijedou,“ ukázal jeho společník na člověka bezvládně ležícího na cyklotrase vedoucí z Nymburka do Poděbrad. Do mrazivého počasí tak budou muset především ka¬pitán Přibyl a poručík Dvořák, aby zjistili, kdo a proč zabil finančního poradce krátce poté, co odešel z kostela sv. Jiljí.
Byla to jen náhoda, nebo jeho smrt souvisí se štědrými dary zdejší farnosti?
Nikdy neuhni
Buď odvážny, vzopri sa strachu
Keď polícia v americkom meste Buckeye City dostane znepokojivý list od človeka, ktorý sa vyhráža zabitím štrnástich ľudí, má to byť pokánie za zbytočnú smrť nevinného muža. Detektívka Izzy Jaynesová netuší, čo si má o tom myslieť. Naozaj niekto pripravuje takýto šialený akt odplaty? Počas vyšetrovania si Izzy uvedomí, že pisateľ listu to myslí smrteľne vážne, a s prosbou o pomoc sa obráti na Holly Gibneyovú.
Medzitým sa kontroverzná a provokatívna aktivistka za ženské práva Kate McKayová vydáva na turné po amerických štátoch. Prednáškové sály sa plnia jej prívržencami, ale aj odporcami. Niekto, komu ženská rovnoprávnosť leží v žalúdku, útočí na Kate a jej podujatia. Spočiatku bez obetí, ale ako stalker naberá odvahu, Kate sa už nezaobíde bez osobnej ochrany. Holly, ktorú si na to najme, to s tvrdohlavou šéfkou a na všetko odhodlaným protivníkom nemá jednoduché.
Tieto dva príbehy sa vinú vedľa seba, prepletajú sa a napokon vyvrcholia v mrazivom, no oslnivom finále. Stephen King ponúka čitateľovi celú plejádu fascinujúcich postáv, známych aj nových, ktorými je gospelová speváčka Sista Bessie aj nezabudnuteľný zloduch závislý od vraždenia.

By the River's Edge
The decades-long manhunt for a serial killer takes a stunning turn in a haunting and harrowing true crime shocker by Gregg Olsen, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of If You Tell. In 1990 in Washington state, the bodies of Yolanda Sapp, Nickie Lowe, and Kathy Brisbois were found on the banks of the Spokane River. They were part of a close-knit alliance of sex workers whose oath to protect each other was, in the end, hopeless. For twenty-two years their brutal murders went unsolved. In 2012, a DNA cold hit pointed to Douglas Perry. A repeat assault offender, Douglas was currently incarcerated in Carswell, Texas. But there was a twist: The facility was for female prisoners. The man authorities hunted for decades was now Donna Perry. Her gender reassignment not only helped to mask the evil deeds of the past, it ended a life of childhood traumas and a pent-up rage unleashed on nearly thirty victims, according to Donna herself. Through total reinvention, she believed she’d finally slayed the monster within. By the River’s Edge is the astonishing true story of an elusive serial killer, an escape plan like no other, and the women who lived and died on the fringes of the Lilac City for whom justice was at long last served.
A Morbid Passion
A gripping 1930s-set whodunnit and love letter to Golden Age crime, this sequel to A Queer Case features amateur sleuth Selby Bigge, who must solve a murder at Lady Malcolm's Servants' Ball in London's Royal Albert Hall. Perfect for fans of Nicola Upson's Josephine Tey novels. London 1930. Selby Bigge and his aristocratic sidekick Theodora Smythe are invited to dine with Doctor Hector Fortescue and his family, discovering a web of unrest in the household. The good doctor is adamant that homosexuals can be 'cured' of their perversions, oblivious to the fact his son Lancelot is 'as fruity as a pineapple'. Later that evening Theodora becomes Theo and attends the Servants' Ball with Selby - a fancy-dress dance for servants, which attracts queers of all classes. Lancelot makes a surprise appearance dressed as Harlequin, as do other members of the Fortescue household. And before the night is out Selby and Theo will have another murder to solve. Digging deeper, the duo - assisted by the impossibly glamorous nightclub singer Lady Splendid - discover that secrets abound both above and below stairs in the Kensington home of the Fortescue family. And the stakes get even higher when Selby encounters policemen he's met before, who'd love to arrest him for being queer. Can Selby solve the crime or will this be his last dance?

For fans of Dominic Nolan and Laura Shepherd Robinson. Four years after bringing the infamous child-killer known as the 'Nursery Butcher' to justice - and still haunted by the brutal vengeance exacted by the psychopath's ruthless allies - Cockney private eye George Harley is finally back in business, operating a new detective agency in the heart of London's Soho. Harley and his new assistant Bunty are presented with their first case when a distressed father engages them to investigate the disappearance of his daughter, who has run away from home to join a cabaret troupe led by the notorious 'Queen of Depravity' Ilse Blau, now in London after being driven out by the Nazis from Weimar-era Berlin. But in Harley's liminal world, things are never straightforward, and the detective soon finds himself embroiled in another pitch-dark scenario, with London's decadent, thrill-seeking gentry on one side and West End mobsters and wide-boys in search of easy cash on the other.
