The News from Dublin
In The News from Dublin, a beautiful collection of short stories from the bestselling author of Brooklyn and Long Island, Colm Toibin delves into the days and nights of those living far from home: lives of great longing, at a great distance from past lives and past selves.

Death Takes Me
beware of me, my love
beware of the silent woman in the desert…
These are the words the Professor finds, scrawled in nail polish, above the mutilated corpse of a man.
She reports the crime to the police and becomes the first informant in an investigation led by the Detective, who has a newfound obsession with poetry. As the bodies of more men are discovered alongside cryptic lines of verse, it becomes clear that this is only one in a string of crimes - all connected, all with literary clues.
As the Professor becomes wrapped up in the murders, the boundaries of story - and of genre - break down. Can the Detective decipher the meaning of the poems in time to stop the spread of violence?

On the floor lies a young man sleeping with a severed arm as a pillow. He is arrested and taken to Kronoberg prison, identified as seventeen-year-old Hugo Sand, the son of a famous writer.

Paradiso 17
LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2026 ‘Miraculous’ OMAR EL AKKAD ‘Stunning’ MAAZA MENGISTE ‘Suffused with tenderness’ NEW YORK TIMES ‘Beautiful and powerful’ LISA OWENS ‘Wondrous’ NANA KWAME ADJEI-BRENYAH An extraordinary, sweeping novel following one man's itinerant search for home across the globe, after his childhood exile from Palestine. All his life, exile has been the shadow stitched to the sole of Sufien’s shoe. Born in Palestine on the precipice of 1948’s Nakba, Sufien is forced to leave the only home he’s ever known, the one on the hill with a beautiful blue door. In this moment time stops making sense. He spends the rest of his life propelled forward – although in search of what, he is never quite sure. In the dusty, oil-rich desert of Kuwait, he meets his first love and decides he must leave his family. In a small Italian university town, he spends his youth wrapped up in the forgetful assurance of wine. When life carries him to a gritty New York, he discovers his true vocation and falls in love with a Jewish woman born into a wholly different world. Until finally, he finds himself recalled to the wild, vast open skies of a desert much like his first home. Paradiso 17 is haunted with grief and yet it is also struck through with the dazzling light of a life truly lived and a love that connects us, no matter our distance. Like all of our dead, Sufien still speaks, the book begins.

What Am I, A Deer?
What does it mean to lose yourself – and is that something you should be aiming for? A young woman with little interest in games takes up a job in Frankfurt at a famous gaming company, naively set on reinvention. On her morning commute, in the familiar clutches of tedium and self-loathing, she encounters a nice-eyed stranger who returns her forgotten umbrella and finds herself catapulted into a dizzying, year-long whirlwind of obsession – not just with this endlessly attractive spectre, but also with the feverish karaoke trips from which she draws the ultimate solace. With astonishing existential acuity, Polly Barton’s formidable debut novel renders the paradoxes of modern life in all its complexity, in deliriously self-conscious prose that is at once propulsive, titillating and bitingly funny. Echoing with the sounds of Whitney Houston and The Cure, reaching for the sublime in dark, sweaty boxes, What Am I, A Deer? is an exhilarating exploration of authenticity, fantasy, romance and intoxication.
Brit
Rose Cassidyová nežije, len existuje, pretože jediný spôsob, ako sa dá prežiť v tomto nemilosrdnom svete, je otupiť sa voči bolesti a strachu. Keď sa v smrteľnej hre o moc stáva rukojemníčkou mafiána Dannyho Blacka, narastá v nej záujem, ale aj hlboká túžba. Už počula príbehy o Britovi, o jeho krutosti a bezcitnosti. Nikto jej však nepovedal, že je aj zlovestne príťažlivý. Vidí priamo do jej duše a zároveň v nej vzbudzuje nádej – pocit, ktorý je pre ňu krutejší než všetko ostatné.
Keď si Danny ako záruku vyžiadal krásnu milenku jedného zo svojich nepriateľov, netušil, aké to bude mať následky. Rose ho svojím divokým šarmom tlačí na pokraj šialenstva, až si musí pripomínať, že je len nástrojom, riešením problému. Napriek tomu v Dannym vyvoláva silné city, ktoré by ho mohli stáť život. Najmä keď ho chcú všetci zabiť.

Divoká láska
Najsladšie ovocie je to zakázané
Ford Grant je podľa časopisu Forbes považovaný za „Najpríťažlivejšieho miliardára na svete“. Pozornosť verejnosti však pre neho nie je vítaná a rád by si otvoril nahrávacie štúdio v nádhernom mestečku Rose Hill. Všetko sa skomplikuje, keď sa pred ním zjaví mladé dievča, ktoré ho označí za svojho biologického otca. Fordov život sa zrazu zmení na balansovanie medzi biznisom a výchovou mrzutej dvanásťročnej pubertiačky – nehovoriac o Rosie Belmontovej, sestre svojho najlepšieho priateľa, od ktorej musí držať ruky preč.
Rose po živote vo veľkomeste vtrhla späť do rodného mestečka ako búrka. Krásna, chaotická a nepredvídateľná. A stačí jedna úpenlivá prosba o prácu, aby ju Ford zamestnal. Síce sa snaží držať si ju od tela protivnými poznámkami a jednoslovnými odpoveďami, každá slovná prestrelka medzi nimi sa stáva akousi predohrou a vyvoláva iskrenie, ktoré rýchlo prerastie v niečo viac.
Ford si uvedomuje, že by nemal prekročiť túto nebezpečne tenkú hranicu, pretože nemôcť a nechcieť sú dve odlišné veci. Ostáva mu len jediné. Pokúsiť sa jej odolať.

Veszett ügyek
Egy adrenalindús, lehengerlően izgalmas sorozatnyitány, amely egy különös FBI-osztag nyomozását követi egy kegyetlen gyilkos után.
Gardner Camden FBI-ügynök elemző zseni, a rejtélyek és mintázatok megszállottja. De van egy gyenge pontja: nem mindig látja az embereket – sem az ügyekben, sem a saját életében. Még hétéves kislányát, Camilát sem érti igazán. A munkájában azonban nincs párja: az FBI Mintaelemző- és azonosító egységének a tagja, egy olyan különleges csapatba tartozik, amelyet akkor vetnek be, amikor a hagyományos nyomozati módszerek csődöt mondanak.
Ráadásul épp egy rendkívül nyugtalanító ügyön dolgoznak: az első tetthely DNS-nyoma egy rég halottnak hitt sorozatgyilkoshoz vezet vissza, a második áldozatnál pedig már világos mintázat rajzolódik ki, miközben az elkövető kifejezetten Gardnernek kezd üzenni, rejtvényeket és jeleket hagyva maga után. Az egység, amely többnyire irodai környezetben, kihűlt akták felett dolgozik, hamarosan kénytelen lesz az ország különböző pontjaira menni a teljes nyilvánosság előtt.
Gardner mellett a csapat tagja még egy zseniális matematikus, egy fegyverszakértő, egy kíméletlenül hatékony informatikus, és a mindezt kézben tartó, veterán csapatvezető. Együtt kell megfejteniük a gyilkos kilétének rejtvényét. De miközben az elkövető egyre többet tud meg róluk, kérdés, vajon képesek lesznek-e megvédeni magukat – és a családjukat –, mielőtt túl késő lenne.
John McMahon regénye az 1990-es és 2000-es évek legjobb sorozatgyilkosos thrillereit idézi fel és helyezi modern környezetbe lehengerlő frissességgel. A kifinomult, csavaros bűnténynek, különleges szereplőknek és az utolsó oldalig tartó feszült tempónak köszönhetően a Veszett ügyek a műfaj legjobbjaival vetekszik.
Nočná hliadka
Ako sa stať zradcom a ako ním nebyť? To je otázka, ktorú si kladie hrdina príbehu, ktorý zároveň pracuje pre francúzske Gestapo aj odbojovú sieť. Táto dilema ho privedie k mučeníctvu, jedinému možnému úniku. Román Patricka Modiana Nočná hliadka (La Ronde de nuit), spolu s románmi Námestie Étoile a Okružné bulváre tvoria tzv. Okupačnú trilógiu – tri romány, odohrávajúce sa v Paríži počas okupácie v rokoch 1940-1944. Z nich práve Nočná hliadka najprenikavejšie odhaľuje temné stránky spoločnosti a jednotlivcov. Osamelosť a vykorenenosť jednotlivca vystaveného na jednej strane bezuzdnému vyčíňaniu kolaborantov, profitérov a francúzskeho Gestapa, a na strane druhej prázdnym gestám a alibizmu francúzskeho dôstojníctva v ilegalite, ktoré sa považovalo za jediných oprávnených predstaviteľov odboja – za predpokladu, že skutočnú “špinavú prácu” za nich odvedie niekto iný. Rozprávač sa stáva dvojitým agentom, aby mohol ochrániť dve bezbranné bytosti. Jeho skutočnú identitu sa čitateľ nedozvie: pozná len dvojicu krycích mien – podľa toho, ktorá zo strán o ňom práve hovorí. Patrick Modiano touto prekvapivo nežnou i krutou prózou nastavil Francúzsku pravdivé, hoci nelichotivé zrkadlo. Vykonal tým istý druh exorcizmu národa z pohnutého obdobia, ktoré sám nezažil, no ktorého posledné záchvevy citlivo vnímal v dobe písania, a ktoré sú podnes prítomné.
Dokud se budeš smát
Léto 2002. Do povodněmi zničeného Polabí přijíždějí příbuzní, přátelé i docela cizí lidé, aby pomohli postiženým. Ve vesničce Stamice se tak setkává Kamila s kamarádkou Ilonou, kterou neviděla skoro patnáct let. Vzpomínají na minulá léta, na události, které poznamenaly a zcela změnily jejich předešlý život, práci, manželství, rodinu... Příběh o tom, že nejbližší pomocná ruka je vždycky na konci vlastní paže, ale dobré zázemí je k nezaplacení. Že princové na bílém koni vymřeli už před spoustou let, ale občas se najde chlap, kvůli kterému stojí za to něco risknout. I když výsledek je nejistý. Že přežít se dá v podstatě všechno, pokud se nezačnete litovat a pokud se uprostřed chaosu, ve který se občas mění každý život, ještě dokážete zasmát…
Bretaňský odkaz, 2. vydání
Osmý případ pro komisaře Dupina, milovníka tučňáků a kofeinu, rodilého Pařížana za trest přeloženého do Bretaně – na konec světa. V „Modrém městě“ na břehu moře slaví Bretaňci začátek léta a vše by bylo báječně veselé nebýt mrtvoly nalezené přímo před Amiralem, Dupinovým oblíbeným restaurantem. Komisař se vrhne takříkajíc po hlavě do dramatického vyšetřování, jehož výsledek jím značně otřese. Protagonistou napínavého, bretaňskou atmosférou prodchnutého krimi románu je nádherné městečko Concarneau: jeho přístavy a pláže, galerie a restauranty, tradice a neobyčejné dějiny.
