The Ballad of Ronan McCoy


A tender coming-of-age story about friendship, first love, loss, and facing the ultimate question: who am I going to be? For fans of Douglas Stuart, Michael Magee, David Nicholls and Andrew O'Hagan Brendan's best friend, his only friend, is Ronan McCoy. He knows things about Brendan that no one else does: about his job washing the cars at Feeney's Funeral Home, about the loneliness he sometimes feels even when surrounded by hundreds of others at school. But Brendan never told Ronan about the dark feeling that sits at the bottom of his stomach, the feeling that tells him something bad is coming. It never comes when Ronan's around. Ronan is smart and sporty and popular, totally comfortable in his own skin: all the things that Brendan himself isn't. But Ronan always makes him feel like a good friend, a good person, a better Brendan. Standing at the school gates on the first day of term, the dark feeling begins to form in Brendan's stomach. And when Ronan doesn't turn up, Brendan learns that something terrible happened to his best friend over the summer and he'll never be the same again. Over the course of the final year of school, Brendan will have to learn to navigate the new shape of their friendship and find a place for himself in the world without Ronan to protect him. The Ballad of Ronan McCoy is a beautifully written, tender coming-of-age story about friendship and first love, loss and letting go, and the hopes and fears of a young man standing on the cusp of the rest of his life.

The Death Row Club


SOME THINGS RUN IN THE BLOOD… A darkly twisted and wonderfully original debut thriller for fans of Riley Sager and Jessica Knoll - at an annual weekend getaway for the adult children of serial killers, the participants begin to wonder if somebody's continuing the family tradition when one of their number turns up dead. Plenty of people have lousy parents, but Nicola Fischer's father has just been convicted of murdering five young women, including her best friend. Fired from her job and hounded by reporters, Nicola passes the time by doomscrolling and drunk-dialling Greer Woods, the alluring host of the hit show To Catch a Killer, who cracked the case and turned Nicola's life upside down before disappearing along with her so-called 'best intentions'. When an email from Greer finally shows up in Nicola's inbox, there's no apology or explanation, just a cryptic invitation. The Death Row Club is an annual weekend getaway for the adult children of serial killers - and Nicola is the newest reluctant member. Desperate to escape her small town, she accepts the offer with barely a second thought, forging tentative bonds with her fellow club members, most of whom seem intriguing, and only slightly unhinged. But when an uninvited guest shows up at their remote wilderness retreat, everyone is put on high alert, and the next morning paranoia turns to outright fear. Because one of their own is dead, and the rest of them are left with only one question. If the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, which of them is the bad seed?

The Arachnid


The hauntingly beautiful second book in the historical gothic romance Poisoner series, where Alina Lis finds herself in hiding from her vampiric ex-lover, Silas. They're a couple deadly as sin, and as intoxicating as a sip of poison . . . She was once his. He has no intention of letting her go. Two years after fleeing London society, Alina Lis has found a new life in America, leading a commune of women like herself, with the greater purpose of experimenting on the Vipera. But peace, she learns, is as fragile as a spider's web in winter. Because Silas Forbes, the very Vipera who once claimed her, hasn't forgotten. His thirst for Alina fuels him to track her down at any cost, and he's brought along Luka Novikov for the hunt - a man who betrayed her, forever marked by the poisoner's kiss and bound to Silas in blood and debt. With Silas and Luka back in her life, everything around Alina begins to unravel. The walls she's built are no defence against a predator like Silas, or the dangerous pull he still holds. When the human and Vipera worlds suddenly collide, threatening all she's fought to protect, can Alina let go of the past and put her fate in the hands of two villianous immortals she once swore to never trust again? *This is a dark, supernatural romance for a mature, 18+ audience and contains themes and content that aren't to everyone's liking.

Papírsárkányok


„Szerettem a kabuli telet. Szerettem éjjelenként a hó halk dobogását az ablakomon, szerettem a friss hó ropogását a gumicsizmám alatt, szerettem az öntöttvas tűzhely melegét, amikor hideg szél sivított az udvaron. De legjobban azért szerettem, mert épp amikor a faágakon megfagyott a dér, és az utakat jég burkolta be, Baba és énköztem egy kicsit felengedett a dermedés. Ennek az oka pedig a sárkányeregetés volt. Hiába laktunk ugyanabban a házban Babával, mégis két különböző világban éltünk. A sárkány volt az a papírvékony felület, ahol világaink összeértek.” A szerző előszavával. Felejthetetlen és megható történet egy nem mindennapi barátságról, amely egy tehetős család gyermeke és a szolgálójuk fia közt szövődik a pusztulásra ítélt Afganisztán vég­napjaiban. A közös élmények és kedves időtöltésük, a sárkányfutás, már-már elszakíthatatlanul fűzi őket egymáshoz. Azonban egy szörnyű esemény örökre megváltoztatja az életüket. Amir cserben hagyja a barátját, Haszant, és ezzel véget ér számukra a gondtalan gyermekkor. Amir a hazájától távol, az Egyesült Államokban kezdi felnőtt életét, de nem tud szabadulni a bűntudattól. Visszatér a tálibok uralta háborús Afganisztánba. Az ország romjain végre jóváteheti mindazt, amit elrontott, és megszabadulhat lelki­ismerete terhétől.

Yet this compelling story also raises the great questions underlying Hardy''s major novels, which relate to the injustice of the class system, the treatment of women, probability and causality.

Liberty Island


1900: Twenty-eight-year-old Anna Bradley is spending the summer on a rugged island off the coast of Haven Point, Maine, supervising her niece, Julia Demarest, and two other spirited girls. As the children race through the woods playing pirates, treasure hunters, and Roughriders, Anna—an ambitious college graduate determined to chart her own path—finds unexpected inspiration. She secretly pens Liberty Island, a bold, imaginative novel celebrating girls unbound by the expectations of marriage and motherhood. The book becomes a runaway hit with young readers, but draws scorn from the social elite, who see it as dangerous and unbecoming. As the book's popularity grows and Anna’s carefully kept secret teeters on the edge of exposure, she must also navigate a burgeoning romance—and reconsider everything she thought she wanted for her future. 1922: Julia Demarest, now twenty-nine, was once enchanted by her aunt’s bestselling books. But times have changed—and so has she. Disillusioned by the restrictions of her privileged upbringing and disenchanted by a failed romance with a bohemian intellectual, Julia finds herself adrift and estranged from her family. When a sudden call brings her back to Haven Point, she must reckon with the ghosts of her past, the ideals she once dismissed, and what freedom truly means to her. Rich with heart and history, Liberty Island is an unforgettable story of love, legacy, and belonging.

Cesta do Jonestownu: Jim Jones a Chrám lidu


V 50. letech 20. století hlásal mladý kazatel z Indianapolis Jim Jones evangelium okořeněné marxistickými idejemi. Jeho kongregace byla rasově integrovaná a on sám byl velmi uznávaným vůdcem soudobého hnutí za občanská práva. Po přesunu své církve, kterou pojmenoval Chrám lidu, do Kalifornie se zapojil do politiky a brzy se stal výrazným komunitním lídrem. Pod nablýskaným povrchem charismatického pastora se ale skrývala nevýslovná temnota vedoucí k tragédii, která přivedla do náruče smrti stovky lidí. V tomto strhujícím vyprávění zachycuje Jeff Guinn Jonesův život, od dětství a postupné radikalizace, přes mimomanželské aféry, užívání drog a podvodné uzdravování vírou až po rozhodnutí přestěhovat komunitu svých stoupenců do osady v džungli jihoamerické Guyany. Guinn přináší nové ohromující informace o událostech, které vedly k osudnému 18. listopadu 1978, kdy více než devět set lidí (včetně téměř tří set dětí) zemřelo poté, co jim bylo nařízeno vypít nápoj obsahující kyanid. Guinn prozkoumal tisíce stran spisů FBI souvisejících s případem, které doplnil vlastním obsáhlým výzkumem, hovořil se svědky, s nimiž nikdy předtím nikdo nemluvil, a získal nová svědectví těch, kteří masakr přežili. Ruiny Jonestownu dokonce navštívil s týmž pilotem, který tam letěl v den, kdy byl na Jonesův příkaz zavražděn kongresman Leo Ryan. Cesta do Jonestownu, osmá kniha oranžové true crime edice, je definitivní, ucelenou a důkladnou studií jednoho z nejničivějších kultů moderní doby.

Atomic Coffin


December 1984. SIS field asset Heidi Sperling [codename Thistle] exfiltrates from East Berlin with the sole copy of a critical intelligence leak: a naval log containing a solitary message received from a previously unidentified Soviet submarine. Incredulously - impossibly - it seems the vessel, known only as TK-15, has been sitting motionless and undetected in the waters between Scotland and Iceland for three whole years. And now this latest message reads: ACTIVE. Picked up by the Royal Navy's submarine HMS Viking, Heidi is thrust into a 'black ops' mission: find TK15 and neutralise it at any cost. But as her only ally on board the Viking falls sick, she realises this modified vessel is far more than a Soviet experiment to gain an upper hand in the nuclear arms race. Here, in the crushing depths of the North Atlantic, it seems something darker has awoken - something that cannot be contained by any superpower. As Heidi's own reality twists around her, an unknowable force cripples the Viking's defences and drives its crew to madness. Trapped in the deep, Heidi has no choice but to find a way to save the remaining crew and stop TK-15 for good, before it steals what's left of her mind . . .

EXODUS: The Helium Sea


The epic conclusion of the far-future Archimedes Engine duology by legendary author Peter F. Hamilton. For millennia, the Crown Dominion has been at relative peace, with the Celestials in control and the human population little better than serfs.

For Finn and his human allies, who have ended up at the center of this conflict through either circumstance or manipulation, this is an unprecedented opportunity. If they can band together, they may be able to outwit the Celestials and finally earn their fellow humans a place of independence and power in the Crown Dominion. But first they must locate and master ancient artifacts of immense power that could give them a needed edge in the conflict ahead - all while ducking the forces that are determined to knock them off the board for good.
