A zárda gyermekei - Lottie Parker 15.
Lottie Parker felügyelő és Boyd őrmester szabadságon van. Connemarában vendégeskednek a férfi nővérénél, aki az esküvőjére készül. A nagy sürgés-forgásból elmenekülve Lottie a környéken sétálgat, amikor egy bungalónál villogó rendőrautókat lát. Természetesen odamegy, hogy megtudja, mi történt. Mint kiderült, egy összeégett női holttestet találtak a fürdőkádban.
Mooney őrmester, bár nem szívesen, emberhiány miatt elfogadja Lottie segítségét. Az áldozatnak nincs hozzátartozója, kislányként a Magdolna nővérek zárdában nevelkedett. Lottie a gondnoktól megtudja, hogy egy fiatal rádiós újságírónő, Imelda járt ott, a zárdáról készülő műsorához gyűjtött anyagot, majd eltűnt.
A nyomozás során szörnyű dolgok derülnek ki. Az apácák rabszolgákként dolgoztatták a lányokat a mosodában, kegyetlenül bántak velük, a legkisebb kihágást is megtorolták, a kínzásba belehalt gyerekek holttestét pedig eltüntették.
Majd újabb gyilkosság történik…
A háromgyerekes Lottie az érzéseit kikapcsolva, vérbeli profiként mindent megtesz, hogy Mooney őrmesterrel mielőbb felgöngyölítsék az ügyet.

Hooked
Eriko really wouldn't mind being savaged, if it was her best friend doing the savaging … Eriko's life appears perfect – devoted parents, spotless apartment and a job in the seafood division of one of Japan's largest trading companies. Her latest project, to reintroduce the controversial Nile perch fish into the Japanese market, is characteristically ambitious.
But beneath her flawless surface she is wracked by loneliness. Eriko becomes fascinated with a popular blog written by a housewife, Shoko. Shoko’s posts about eating convenience store food and her untidy home are the opposite of the typical Japanese housewife’s manicured lifestyle.
When Eriko tracks Shoko down at her favourite restaurant and befriends her, Shoko is at first charmed by her new companion. But as Eriko’s obsession with Shoko deepens, her increasingly possessive behaviour starts to raise suspicion. As Eriko’s carefully laid plans begin to unravel, how far will she go to hold on to the best friend that she’s ever had?
Beautifully translated by Polly Barton, Hooked is a thrilling and unsettling story of the line between friendship and dangerous obsession.
A delicious exploration of food, loneliness and womanhood in contemporary Japan, Hooked brings together all the ingredients for which Asako Yuzuki is so adored.

Just as quickly as their romance started, one moment shattered it all, leaving them with nothing but heartbreak and silence.
Four years later, Blair is back in their coastal hometown of Seabrook to support her mom and care for her great-aunt Lottie. To make ends meet, Blair applies to work at a coffee shop - only to discover it's managed by none other than Declan. The boy she loved. The boy she lost. The boy who still makes her heart race.

Hannaróza
Hanna élete darabokra hullik, amikor ráébred: nincs egyedül a testében. Ott él benne valaki más is, akit Rózának hívnak. Kettejük között szakadék tátong, míg Róza maga a perzselő tűz, addig Hanna a szenvedély és félelem határán egyensúlyoz.
Amikor megismernek egy férfit, aki mindkettőjük szívét elrabolja, kénytelenek szövetséget kötni egymással. De a vágy hamar veszéllyé, a bizalom árulássá válik, egy haláleset pedig feltépve a múlt sebeit mindent megváltoztat. Ahogy a nyomozásuk feltárja a sötét titkokat, a határ a valóság és az őrület között egyre inkább elmosódik. De vajon túléli a szerelmük a borzalmas igazságot?
Erotikus krimi, ahol a szenvedély és a veszély kéz a kézben jár.
Light and Thread
What is love?
It is the gold thread connecting between our hearts.
In this light-filled and multi-faceted book, her first since being awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, Han Kang draws together the threads of her work and life, tracing the connections between her interior and exterior worlds through a sequence of essays, poems, photographs and diaries.
A book of reflections, of words and light, it has at its heart the tiny, north-facing courtyard garden at her home, cultivated solely through the reflected sunlight of the mirrors which she must move throughout the day, as the earth turns on its axis.
In a poem written at eight years old, Han Kang imagined a ‘gold thread’ of connection – an idea which she explores here with luminous attention, beginning with her Nobel Lecture. She writes of the wonder of following the thread we call language into the depths of other hearts, and her profound sense of an electric current which joins writer and reader.
Both intimate and illuminating, Light and Thread is a book for all readers of Han Kang’s unique body of work.

When the Sargents, a childless couple, move in next door, Emmie and the Beans find themselves drawn to this welcoming but aimless husband and wife.
Emmie fears the darkness and chaos surrounding them all. But perhaps love burns bright . . .

The Cost of Living
Idealistic Alexandra is throwing a party to meet a more glamorous crowd. Marianne, more sardonic, worries it’ll be the usual sort.
The party is in Alexandra’s attic flat. Marianne will contribute a few bottles of red optimistically labelled Bordeaux. Can it be judged a success? There’s Donald the bus conductor with high-brow dreams, nervous bespectacled Bernhardt and Marius the ghostwriter. Not to mention a brace of Peters. It’s left to sexy, young Pisa and riotous, middle-aged Mummy (neither invited) to steal the show.
Yet, after the party both Marianne and Alexandra find themselves caught in unexpected – sometimes far from romantic – relationships. Meeting people, it turns out, has the most peculiar consequences.
Is that really the cost of living?
