The Poisoner


A gripping account of the murders committed by Dr William Palmer, the 'Prince of Poisoners', and his dramatic trial in 1855. In 1856, a baying crowd of over 30,000 people gathered outside Stafford prison to watch the execution of a village doctor from Staffordshire. One of the last people to be publicly hanged, 'the greatest villain who ever stood trial at the Old Bailey,' as Charles Dickens described him, Dr William Palmer was convicted in 1855 of murdering his best friend, but was suspected of poisoning more than a dozen other people, including his wife, children, brother and mother-in-law - cashing in on their life insurance to fund his crippling gambling habit. Highlighting Palmer's particularly gruesome penchant for strychnine, his trial made news across Europe; he was a new kind of murderer - respectable, middle class, personable, and consequently more terrifying - and he became Britain's most infamous figure until the emergence of Jack the Ripper. The first widely available account of one of the most notorious, yet lesser-known, mass-murderers in British history, The Poisoner takes a fresh look at Palmer's life and disputed crimes, ultimately asking 'just how evil was this man?' With previously undiscovered letters from Palmer and new forensic examination of his victims, Stephen Bates presents not only an astonishing and controversial revision of Palmer's entire story, but takes us into the very psyche of a killer.

The Lady of the Mine


The extraordinary new novel by the author of Untraceable.

Around this infamous pit, in a polluted region convulsed once again by war and cruelty when Russia invades Ukraine, the fates of four characters intertwine: a mysterious and powerful laundress whose dedication to cleaning the filth created by the mine attracts the suspicion of the secret police; her innocent daughter Zhanna, left alone by her mother’s death; a brutal Russian militia man, who targets Zhanna; and his boss, a former KGB man turned ruthless servant of Putin. The voice of The Engineer, a murdered Jew who designed and constructed the mine, is a witness to the bloody history of the region and the terrible secret at its heart. A haunting, lyrical meditation on the legacy of dictatorship and atrocity.

Lázár


„A sötét erdő szélét még mindig egy kimúló évszázadból megmaradt hó borította, amikor Lázár Lajos, a vízkék szemű, áttetsző gyermek először látta meg azt a férfit, akit annak halála után is apjának tekintett.” Minden elkezdődik, még a vég is. Lázár Lajos születésével, az erdei kastély falai között, beköszönt a 20. század, amely örökre megváltoztatja a Magyarország déli részén élő Lázár bárók régi életét. A Habsburg Birodalom bukásával felbomlik a régi világrend, széthullik a nemesség és az elhallgatott családi titkokkal terhelt látszólag biztonságos jólét is: Sándor, a tekintélyes családfő, szégyelli fia különcségét; Ilona, visszataszítónak találja kisöccsét; Mária, a gyönyörű édesanya, retteg, hogy valakinek feltűnik a kísérteties hasonlóság gyermeke és a két hete elhunyt fiatal lovászlegény között, míg Sándor fivérét, Imrét, akinek túlvilági látomásait gyakran őrültségnek bélyegzik, egy közelgő katasztrófa víziói gyötrik. „…akkor fogta fel, hogy minden megváltozott. A világ, amelyben megismerkedtek és elbúcsúztak egymástól, már nem létezett.” A Lázár egy magyar nemesi család több generáción átívelő történetét és hanyatlását meséli el a viharos 20. századi események hátterében egészen 1956-ig. A fiatal svájci író egy új generáció friss hangja, regénye egyszerre modern és időtlen. A mű mesterien teremt atmoszférát: a családi rezidencia, valamint az azt körülölelő, baljósan sötét, mesebeli erdő élénken kelnek életre az olvasó előtt, miközben a regény finoman kikacsint Gabriel García Márquez és Thomas Mann világára. A Lázár 2025-ben meghódította a nyugat-európai olvasókat: Megjelenést követően a könyv hónapokig a SPIEGEL bestseller lista első helyén állt, azóta, több hónap elteltével töretlenül a lista élén áll, Közel négy hónap alatt, több mint 200 000 példányban kelt el a könyv, Jelenleg 26 országban készül fordítás a könyvből 2025-ben a Frankfurti Könyvvásár a „Vásár könyvé”-nek választotta, 2025-ben elnyerte a Független Könyvesboltok Kedvenc Könyve díjat 2025-ben jelölték a Svájci Könyvdíjra A könyv filmjogait az HBO forgalmazásában megtekinthető, nagy népszerűségnek örvendő Babylon Berlin sorozat készítői nyerték el
