Maisie Dobbsová
Seznamte se s Maisie Dobbsovou. Odvážná a bystrá vyšetřovatelka řeší svůj první případ, který otevírá uznávanou sérii klasických detektivních románů v duchu Agathy Christie.
Londýn 1929. Maisie si otevírá vlastní vyšetřovatelskou kancelář. Během první světové války pracovala v polní nemocnici. Naučila se tam však víc než jen ošetřovat rány.
Je inteligentní, vnímavá a dokáže vycítit to, co druzí skrývají…někdy i sami před sebou.
První případ vypadá jednoduše. Vážený londýnský gentleman je přesvědčen, že jeho žena něco tají. Pátrání však Maisie zavede z přepychových salonů hluboko do minulosti: k příběhu, který začal ve stínu války a zanechal rány, jež se nikdy zcela nezahojily.Maisie ví, že pravda není jen otázkou důkazů. Někdy je otázkou odvahy. A srdce.
Jacqueline Winspear pochází z anglického Kentu a proslavila se oceňovanou historickou detektivní sérií o Maisie Dobbsové, která si získala čtenáře po celém světě. K tématu první světové války ji přivedly příběhy jejího dědečka, který bojoval na západní frontě – i proto mají její romány mimořádnou lidskost a autenticitu. Za svůj debut Maisie Dobbsová získala mimo jiné cenu Agatha Award, prestižní ocenění udělované nejlepším detektivkám v duchu Agathy Christie. Série patří mezi bestsellery The New York Times.

Cherry Baby
From the million-copy internationally bestselling author comes a new adult novel about a woman who must choose between the one that got away - and her ex-husband, who won't go away either. . .
Cherry and Tom had built a quiet, contented life together in Omaha, until Tom’s semi-autobiographical webcomic went viral and turned their marriage into public property.
Now the world knows Baby, the character based on Cherry, better than Cherry knows herself – and Tom and Cherry have been separated for months.
That’s when Russ Sutton shows up. Floppy-haired, blue-eyed Russ Sutton, who Cherry had a crush on in college, and who now seems to have a crush on her.
All that’s left is for Cherry to rewrite her own story. Because if she isn’t Baby, and she isn’t Tom’s wife, then who can she be?

The Hong Kong Widow
1953. Refugee Mei has tried to bury her 'gift' of speaking to ghosts, but then former silent film star Holly Zhang invites her to be one of six mediums competing over a series of séances at the infamous Maidenhair House. The startling summons revives Mei's link to the man who destroyed her life. The staggering reward on offer might explain why Mei agrees to take part, but the only prize she wants is revenge. Years later, the events of those nights have faded into urban legend but if Mei wants to finally lay the ghosts she carries to rest, she must uncover what really happened at Maidenhair House.
The Door
A young writer employs a housekeeper - and slowly finds herself the sole keeper of the older woman's sercrets.
Magda is a writer, Emerence her housekeeper. Magda is new to their quiet Hungarian town, while Emerence, fierce and enigmatic, knows and is known by all. Though Emerence enters Magda's home whenever she pleases, the door to Emerence's own strange abode remains barred. Still, somehow, over the course of twenty years, an intimate trust is built between the two, rich with shared confidences.
Yet when this trust is betrayed one dark afternoon, the pair's complex relationship will be left forever altered, and Magda will find herself haunted until the end of her days.
For not all doors are made to be opened.
No Ghosts
Kieran and Harlow's best friend Annie disappeared a year ago. And now, so have the ghosts. After being reunited at Annie's memorial, Kieran and Harlow begin separate searches for their lost friend, all while trying to repair their friendship. Harlow, recently retired from the CGI company she helped found, discovers fragments of the dead - faces, gestures, glances - in AI generated videos; meanwhile Kieran, aimless and isolated, stumbles into an occult community of those dedicated to finding the missing ghosts. The friends' journeys will lead them through a world at once recognisable and strangely removed. A subterranean world of endless tunnels filled with ominous arrangements of consumer goods; a world of seances where attendees are haunted by the empty spaces where ghosts used to be. As Harlow and Kieran are drawn deeper into the circumstances behind Annie's - and the ghosts' - disappearance, a terrifying, singular pattern breaks the surface. No Ghosts is a startling debut which plumbs the undercurrents of feeling that pool beneath our use of emergent technologies, to ask what new forms haunting might take. Told with a sinister precision, it dramatizes the abstraction and unreality that increasingly define our everyday lives, and marks the arrival of a major new literary novelist.
ITCH!
Josie is at rock bottom, living a haunted existence after returning to her isolated hometown on the edge of the Forest of Dean. But the tall, dense pine trees are not the only things casting shadows across her skin.
When Josie stumbles across a decaying, ant-infested body in the woods, she plummets into a downward spiral, facing uncomfortable truths about the victim and her own past - all whilst battling a growing infestation of her mind ... and her flesh.
Desperate to solve the case, Josie scratches the surface of an age-old mystery - a masked predator stalks the forest around Ellwood, a place deeply gripped by folklore. As the village prepares for its annual festival, Josie gets closer and closer to unveiling a monster, and begins to ask herself:
Are these dark crawling insects leading her to uncover the truth? Or is she their next victim?

The Cats of Poets Square
Previously published as Poets Square: A Memoir in Thirty Cats
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
People kept asking: Why would you have cats that don't love you back?
The morning after Courtney Gustafson moved into an old house in the Poets Square neighbourhood of Tucson, Arizona, she noticed tiny pawprints all over her driveway. They were the first evidence of a colony of feral cats, who, to her surprise, would expand her world spectacularly.
Beebs was the first to appear. Then there was Monkey, the dark-blotched 'scheming little gremlin' calico, and Reverse Monkey, her timid, white-blotched opposite. There were Sad Boy and Lola, the inseparable pair who made their way across the internet and into strangers' wedding vows. And there was Goldie, the tiny king of Poets Square: sick, skinny, but completely fearless.
Poets Square is a love letter to community in a broken society, told through the cats Courtney meets in dark alleys, neglected homes and her own driveway; cats she cherishes and must sometimes let go. Above all, it explores what loving these feral creatures, in all their noise and need, can teach us about care, connectedness and the power of hope.

My Year in Paris with Gertrude Stein
Who was Gertrude Stein?
Avant-garde American poet and art collector who made her home in Paris, godmother of modernism, queer icon, friend to Picasso and Hemingway, self-declared genius - a writer who has baffled readers and critics for a century.
And why does she matter?
The narrator of Deborah Levy's latest, dazzling fiction has gone to Paris to find out. There she meets Eva with the blinding gaze, an artist in a long-distance marriage, and Fanny, a sexually adventurous financier; together they cook, walk, read and argue late into the nights.
As Paris sweeps her along in its ceaseless flow, she thinks - about what we have to lose to become modern, navigating anxiety, living with uncertainty, angry fathers, making a new life in another country, art and language - how all these things looked to Gertrude Stein in the early days of the twentieth century, and how they look to her and her friends in the early twenty-first.
This is a book about how we put ourselves together- an exhilarating, witty, cosmopolitan meditation on the pleasures and challenges of friendship, desire and living with other people. But it is also crashes through genre to create an inspired portrait of Stein herself: a writer who experimented fearlessly with a new way of living and who wrestled herself free from the nineteenth century to invent a brand-new way of looking at the world.
I Served The King Of England
Ditie is a pint-sized hotel waiter with big dreams.
Between pocketing stolen change from unsuspecting customers and reminiscing on nights spent at the local brothel, he fantasises about his immense - and imagined - riches.
Then, ludicrously, Ditie's dreams start to become reality.
Yet while his chaotic adventures lead him to ever more glamorous hotels, beyond the sparkling dining halls, the forces of twentieth-century European history march on.
A whirlwind of comic genius, a gut-punch of narrative power, this is the story of one small man's rise and fall - or fall and rise - against the shadowy backdrop of Europe's darkest days.
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY ADAM THIRLWELL
Valós Rémálmok
Amikor az ember azt hiszi, minden a helyére kerül, akkor jön egy újabb csapás.
Alicia visszatér Holtvölgybe, hogy helyre tegye azokat a dolgokat, amelyek a múltban megtörténtek: gyász, trauma, csalódás. Sok mindenen ment keresztül, ám az a célja, hogy legyőzze a fejében lakozó démonokat, hogy továbbléphessen, és boldog, nyugodt életet éljen. De ahogyan azt már megtanultuk, Holtvölgyben semmi nem olyan egyszerű.
Valaki ott lapul a sötétben. Valaki, aki nem képes továbblépni. Valaki, aki bármeddig hajlandó elmenni azért, hogy megkapja, amit akar.
Miközben Alicia igyekszik szabad lenni, és továbbra is meg akarja fejteni az egyik rejtélyes gyilkosságot, mely ezen a helyen történt, Olivér újra a lány kegyeiért teper. Ő sem adja fel könnyen, azonban ha igazán boldoggá akarja tenni őt, neki is szembe kell néznie valamivel. Azzal az énjével, melyet még ő maga sem ismer eléggé.
Vajon sikerül megküzdeniük az újabb nehézségekkel, vagy ezúttal végleg elnyeli őket a sötétség?
Whispers of You - Suttogások (Elveszítve & Rátalálva 1.)
Egy éjszaka, amely mindent elvett tőlem.
A testemet, ami helyrehozhatatlanul megsérült. A fiút, akiről azt hittem, hogy örökké az enyém marad. Az életet, amiről mindig is álmodtam.
Holt most visszatért. Csakhogy most már nem fiú, hanem férfi, akinek tekintetében árnyak lapulnak, és akit démonok kísértenek.
Azt mondja, azért jött, hogy mindent rendbe hozzon. Hogy visszaszerezzen egy kicsit mindabból, amit elveszítettünk. És esze ágában sincs elhagyni a kisvárost, amely a menedékemmé vált.
Ahogy a lopott pillanatok napokká nyúlnak, Holt mindenhol jelen van égő tekintetével és még sokáig kísértő érintéseivel. Falaim lassan leomlanak, és csak remélni tudom, hogy nem akkora esztelenség megragadni ezt a második esélyt, mint amilyennek tűnik.
Ám nem mindenki örül Holt visszatérésének. És amikor a tragédia újból lesújt, én kerülök célkeresztbe. Ezúttal talán Holt sem tud megmenteni…
