Following a harsh winter, the dam gates at Farris Lake have been badly damaged, and as summer approaches the lake must be drained for repairs. Under the intense summer sun, the idyllic lake transforms into a barren wasteland – until the secrets that have long been buried beneath the surface are uncovered… On both sides of the lakebed, new evidence relating to unsolved cold cases is discovered – the remains of a young man who went missing eight years ago, and the belongings of a girl who disappeared four years later. Detective William Wisting is certain these crimes are linked. The lake has long hidden its secrets – but can Wisting now bring the truth to light?

Dlhá cesta domov


Spisovateľ Peter Valo zaznamenával príbeh otca Antona Hlinku pri rozhovoroch u saleziánov na bratislavskej Miletičke. Stručný osud tohto významného kňaza a spisovateľa zverejnil v knižke publicistických medailónov Nezostalo po nich ticho 3. Pre komplexnejší pohľad na túto osobnosť knižku plnú epizód z Hlinkovho života DLHÁ CESTA DOMOV doplnil o spomienky Hlinkových priateľov prof. Milana S. Ďuricu, Ing. Júliusa Bindera a ThDr. Jána Košiara. Po prečítaní tejto knižky zistíme, že Hlinkove myšlienky sú aktuálne stále: „Tí, ktorí sú zodpovední za spoločné dobro, musia postihnúť tých, ktorí ohrozujú nespravodlivosťou, lžou, protiprávnym postupom, nemravným správaním spoločenské dobro alebo dobro jednotlivých občanov. Ak vládca nezaujme postoj voči nespravodlivosti, násiliu, zločinom, vypomstí sa to na spoločnosti a národe tým, že zlo bujnie a narastá do takých rozmerov, že usporiadaný život v spoločnosti sa vážne ohrozí, alebo nie je viac možný. Po každom narušení spravodlivosti musí nasledovať sankcia, aby sa nadobudla nová rovnováha a aby sa dal exemplárny príklad tým, ktorí bez dozoru spoločenských orgánov postupovali od jedného násilia k druhému, od jednej nespravodlivosti k druhej.“
