Twilight in Musashino


Musashino, 1959. A young Japanese flight attendant is found strangled on the icy banks of the river. The police suspect foul play - but the deeper they dig, the more they collide with a wall of silence. At the centre of it all stands a foreign priest and the Guglielmo Church, a charitable Christian mission. The dead woman's connection to the church is undeniable. But what begins as a routine investigation quickly turns into something far more treacherous, entangling together narcotics, post-war relief schemes and the delicate web of international diplomacy. As the story moves from back alleys to diplomatic sanctuaries, following the twists and turns of Detective Fujisawa's investigation, Seicho Matsumoto masterfully constructs a slow-burning procedural where truth is clear but justice is not permitted.

Crime and Punishment


HarperCollins is proud to present our range of timeless literary classics. 'Do you understand, sir, do you understand what it means when you have absolutely nowhere to turn?' Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov – an impoverished student drop-out and amateur philosopher – callously murders a pawnbroker in the slums of St Petersburg. Pursued by the law and his own ravaged conscience, Dostoyevsky’s iconic anti-hero spirals into crisis as the noose tightens, and everything he thought he knew about morality and sin is corrupted by his hideous act of violence. In this psychological masterpiece of good and evil, Dostoyevsky questions what murder does to the soul and whether redemption is possible. One of the great works of world literature, Crime and Punishment is an epic of human nature, guilt and salvation.

Vnútri Zeme


Pod povrchom Zeme sa ukrýva civilizácia, ktorá nemala byť nikdy objavená. Keď vedec Johann narazí na technológiu presahujúcu hranice ľudského poznania, stáva sa terčom síl ochotných zabíjať, aby si zachovali kontrolu. Po boku záhadnej Aury – ženy spojenej s mocou, ktorá presahuje chápanie moderného sveta – sa Johann ocitá medzi dvoma realitami: medzi chladnou logikou kyborgov a hlbokou silou civilizácie, ktorá spája vedu s vedomím. V srdci konfliktu stojí kryštálová pyramída a rozhodnutie, ktoré môže navždy zmeniť osud ľudstva. Vnútri Zeme je napínavý sci-fi triler o hraniciach vedy, o pokušeniu moci a o tom, čo sa stane, keď človek zistí, že svet je oveľa väčší – a nebezpečnejší – než si kedy dokázal predstaviť. Otázka neznie, či sa tajomstvo odhalí. Otázka znie: kto ho prežije.

Her investigations uncover a scandal far darker than either of them could have imagined, and this time she may be out of her depth. Never underestimate Miss Marple ‘Christie always defied expectations, not only in her legendary twists and reveals, but also in the underestimated detectives she created as her heroes.
