Így leplezd le a saját gyilkosodat


A tizenhét éves Frances Adams 1965 nyarán egy angol vidéki vásárban hátborzongató jóslatot kap: egy napon gyilkosság áldozata lesz. Bármily hihetetlenek a kóklernek tűnő jósnő szavai, Frances nem tud tőlük szabadulni, és attól kezdve egész életén át rögeszmésen próbál felderíteni egy bűntényt, amely még meg sem történt. Közel hatvan évvel később Annie Adamst meghívják egy találkozóra gazdag, visszavonultan élő nagynénje, Frances hatalmas vidéki birtokára. Mire azonban a lány megérkezik a bájos angol faluba, Castle Knollba, Francest holtan találják – bekövetkezett az, amit mindig is váltig állított. Annie – nem mellesleg pályakezdő krimiíró – a nagynéni naplójával a kezében elszántan keresi a gyilkost, hiszen a jókora örökség azt illeti, aki leleplezi a bűnöst. Ám Frances egész életében maga is titkokat és hazugságokat ásott elő, emiatt szinte valamennyi falubelinek lehetett indítéka a gyilkosságra. Vajon képes lesz-e Annie kibogozni a sötét Castle Knoll-i rejtélyt, vagy a múlt sebeinek feltépése őt magát sodorja a gyilkos útjába? Ahogy egyre közelebb jut az igazsághoz, mind jobban retteg attól, hogy nem nagynénje vagyonát, hanem a sorsát fogja megörökölni.

Some Men In London: Queer Life, 1960-1967


The second in a major two-part anthology uncovering the rich reality of life for queer men in London, from the end of the Second World War to decriminalization in 1967 In the 1940s, it was believed that homosexuality had been becoming more widespread in the aftermath of war. A moral panic ensued, centred around London as the place to which gay men gravitated. Peter Parker's fascinating new compendium explores what it was actually like for queer men in London in this period, whether they were well-known figures such as Francis Bacon, Joe Orton and Kenneth Williams, or living lives of quiet - or occasionally rowdy - anonymity in pubs, clubs, more public places of assignation, or at home. It is rich with letters, diaries, psychological textbooks, novels, films, plays and police records, covering a wide range of viewpoints, from those who deplored homosexuality to those who campaigned for its decriminalization. This second volume, from 1960 to 1967, shows how key elements in British society gradually changed their views on homosexuality, resulting in the landmark 1967 act by which it was no longer considered a crime if it took place between adults in private. This did not end violence, discrimination and prejudice, but it at least curbed official persecution. Some Men in London is a testament to queer life and its thriving, joyous subculture - a subculture without which the 1960s would have been immeasurably impoverished.

Coach – Az edző: Ford & Millie (Éldekorált kiadás)


Amerikaifutball-sztár. Egyedülálló apa. És egyszer, nagyon régen, az enyém volt… Az elmúlt közel tíz évet azzal töltöttem, hogy elfelejtsem Ford Ellist. Ha távol maradt volna Montanától, talán örökre sikerült volna kitörölnöm lenyűgöző kék szemének és férfias mosolyának az emlékét. Könnyű volt elkerülni őt, amikor az egyetlen hely, ahol láthattam az arcát, az ESPN sportcsatorna volt – és ezt a problémát a távirányítóval könnyen megoldhattam. Csakhogy a főnököm épp most vette fel Fordot a Treasure State Wildcats új vezetőedzőjének. Nem elég, hogy kénytelen leszek nézni őt a pálya széléről ebben a szezonban, de most, hogy együtt dolgozunk, elkerülni is lehetetlen lesz. Talán mégsem felejtettem el Fordot. Talán még mindig arról álmodozom, mi lehetett volna köztünk. És talán ő sem felejtett el engem. Azonban ezek a „talánok” nem változtatnak azon a tényen, hogy soha nem voltunk egymásnak rendeltetve. Talán egyszer az enyém volt. De mától kezdve Ford Ellist csakis így fogom hívni: az edző.
