I'll Be the Monster
'The White Lotus meets My Sister, the Serial Killer: I'll Be The Monster is a menacingly funny, daring debut that deserves a spot at the top of every 2026 TBR pile. With humour so biting and unease this sun soaked, this brilliantly vile pager turner cements Sean Gilbert as a bold new voice in literary fiction' Lucy Rose, author of The Lamb
A homicidal couple embarks on a luxury holiday to save their marriage.
After years of secrets and self-restraint, they've reached breaking point. But three days into the trip, they run into Benny, an acquaintance from their Cambridge days. And Benny is desperate to reminisce about a time - and a person - they would rather forget.
Darkly funny and razor-sharp, I'll Be The Monster follows a dangerous game of cat and mouse as it plays out under the stifling heat of the Mediterranean sun. From a major new talent in literary fiction, this gripping debut is a love story about the worst people you know - and of what happens when a change of heart occurs too late.
In Her Defence
Everyone is watching . . .
Wealthy and famous, Anna Finbow stands in court, accusing therapist Jean Guest of brainwashing her daughter Mary to gain access to her trust fund.
Jean claims that the dark memories she's helped Mary uncover are real. That therapy has offered her a chance to finally heal from childhood trauma, and she would be better off away from her family's damaging influence.
I'll tell you now . . . you shouldn't believe either of them.
A fiercely intelligent psychological thriller of obsessive friendship, toxic families and the precarious nature of therapy, from an exceptional new talent.
This Story Might Save Your Life
Benny and Joy like to say that they've been saving each other's lives since the moment they met . . .
Until the day Joy disappears and Benny is accused of her murder.
Best friends Benny and Joy host a beloved 'comedy survival' podcast, gleefully finding life-affirming humour in near-death experiences.
When Benny arrives at Joy and her husband's home one morning to record, he finds shattered glass and an empty house.
With Joy missing and the hours ticking by, not even their most devoted fans could guess the terrible secrets they have hidden from the world - and from each other.
If Benny wants to find Joy in time, and clear his own name, he'll have to solve the highest stakes survival story yet.

Mým žalářem je svoboda
Autor v této sbírce pokračuje v provázení svých čtenářů krok za krokem stezkami, kterými se ubírá jeho duch, a přibírá je k účasti na svém putování za pravdou a smyslem života. Stále je věrný směru, mířenému do sebe sama, do své duše, své podstaty a na to navazující zkoumání přírody a světa a vztahů mezi oběma oblastmi. Věří, že pochopení souvislostí a touha po harmonii pomáhá snáze pronikat do tajů vztahových komplikací a šířit nejen pozitivní myšlení kolem sebe, ale především lásku a soucit. V případě této poslední sbírky se dá již říci, že autor se mnohem více blíží k archetypu žánru, umělecky snad nejrafinovanějšího druhu básnické tvorby, který se pohybuje na hranici poezie, filosofie, intelektuálního vtipu, bonmotu, zhuštěné anekdoty či hudby myšlenky a ticha.
The Horizon Line
An emphatic deep dive into the continual movement required of migrants, The Horizon Line studies a relatively recent and little-explored social and migratory phenomenon. For about a decade, the somewhat unprecedented occurrence of double migration has been observed in Italian Bangladeshis engaging in a second move to London. Told through the lens of a fictionalized ethnographer and presented in the form of accessible and captivating comics, this book traces the concept of onward migration and the lives shaped by it. Through interviews with Italian Bangladeshis who made the difficult decision to re-uproot their lives in search of better, social scientists and comic artists Francesco Della Puppa, Francesco Matteuzzi, and Francesco Saresin come together to highlight the joys and struggles of this new (e)migration. The authors offer insights on the dynamism of these “new Italian citizens.” and on the migration routes shaped by the continuous global transformations, and on the social, political, and economic situation of Italy and the Southern European countries. Moreover, by following the trajectories of Stefano the researcher, the book provides valuable insight into the modalities, processes, difficulties and turning points of conducting ethnographic research. An essential contribution to migration studies, The Horizon Line gives voice to diasporic communities and sheds light on their most current trials and tribulations.
Jahodová palacinkáreň
Iris je na pokraji zrútenia. Už tri mesiace nevyplatila nájomné a jej práca v Obchodíku s vianočnými stromčekmi bola len sezónna. Ako inštruktorka jogy svoju prácu miluje, ale láskavosť ju neuživí. Predaj palaciniek v stánku ju tiež nevytrhne z biedy. Snaží sa však myslieť pozitívne, o čom svedčia aj jej výrazné červené vlasy. No musí sa o seba predsa postarať! Archer si nikdy nepredstavoval, že by sa mal usadiť v takom malom meste, akým je Dream Harbor. Miloval pulzujúci Paríž a svoju prácu šéfkuchára. Lenže nečakaná správa, že má dcéru, ho prinúti podniknúť kroky, ktoré ho zavedú na cestu, o akej sa mu ani nesnívalo. Odrazu býva v prenajatom domčeku so svojou malou dcérkou, ktorá s ním nekomunikuje, a s opatrovateľkou, ktorá je až príliš krásna. No toto mestečko mu lezie na nervy, keďže mu stále klopú na dvere milé, no všetečné susedky, ktoré mu varia, akoby ani nebol šéfkuchár. Archer nevie, ktorý problém riešiť skôr. Avšak ako sa vraví, láska ide cez žalúdok. A čo keď si nakoniec toto malebné mestečko napokon získa jeho srdce a on nájde to, čo ani netušil, že mu chýba?
Jed v šálke čaju
Zločin počas čajového obradu
Kto mal motív zavraždiť bohatú filantropku?
Prvý prípad novinárky Nory Valliovej
Novinárka Nora Valliová sa po niekoľkých rokoch života v Japonsku rozviedla a vrátila do Talianska. Žije v Miláne a pracuje pre časopis Dnešná žena. Keď dostane za úlohu napísať článok o novom sídle čajovej školy známeho japonského majstra, ktorú navštevujú najmä bohaté Milánčanky, zúčastní sa spolu s nimi na inauguračnom čajovom obrade. Počas ceremónie skolabuje obľúbená filantropka Ludovica Cattaneová, a keď neskôr v nemocnici zomrie, všetci sú presvedčení, že dostala infarkt. Pitva však prinesie prekvapivý záver – Ludovicu niekto otrávil. Ako sa to mohlo stať, keď pri obrade pili všetci prítomní vrátane majstra z tej istej šálky?
Do vyšetrovania záhadného prípadu sa zapojí aj Nora a spolu s nevľúdnym policajným komisárom Malacarnem sa pustí do odhaľovania tajomstiev milánskej smotánky. Postupne vyjde najavo, že Ludovica nebola taká dobrosrdečná, ako sa zdalo, a že nejedna jej priateľka mala na ňu ťažké srdce. Kto ju však nenávidel až tak veľmi, že ju chcel zniesť zo sveta?

Vidím, že vás láka tma
Andrij Oleksandrovyč Geister bol dobrovoľníkom v cudzineckej légii. Keď sa v roku 2014 vrátil na Ukrajinu, bolo všetko iné. Akákoľvek bežná situácia sa stala pre neho spúšťačom posttraumatickej stresovej poruchy (PTSD) a nebyť dobráckeho policajného vyšetrovateľa Valeru, ktorý mu ponúkol miesto konzultanta na kriminálnej polícii, ocitol by sa vo vážnych problémoch. Andrij vytváral v práci psychologické profily zločincov. Mal tesne po tridsiatke, no stále nevedel, čo vlastne chce, a život mu uštedroval jednu ranu za druhou. S milovanou ženou sa pohádal a vzápätí dostal správu o úmrtí matky. Kým cestoval na jej pohreb kamsi na juh krajiny, jeho žena v hlavnom meste spáchala samovraždu. Ukázalo sa, že čakala Andrijovo dieťa, ktorému teraz zostávajú mizivé šance na prežitie a lekári bojujú o jeho prežitie. Andrij by najradšej zostal v hlavnom mieste a nepovšimnuto by sa upil na smrť, vyšetrovateľ Valera ho však vyslal na služobnú cestu do zabudnutej dediny, kde má odhaliť sériu vrážd. Jedna po druhej tu mizli mladé ženy a neskôr sa nachádzali ich zohavené telá, posledná obeť však bola iná. Zmizlo šesťročné dievčatko s autizmom a sluchovou poruchou.
Autor do formy mystického trileru vložil úvahy o vine, pokání a tabu. Ukazuje, že nie všetci, ktorí porušujú tabu, sú zločinci, a nie všetci, ktorí trestajú, stoja na strane spravodlivosti.

The Baby Dragon Bookshop
Emmy has an enemy, and his name is Luke. The good news? She rarely sees him. The bad news? When she does, she (and her pet dragons) are reminded just how handsome he is.
Besides, Emmy is too busy focusing on her dragon-fuelled business to have time for love. But when both she and Luke approach the same local investor for funding, she's suddenly unable to avoid him. The kookie investor insists they must compete for the cash by working at the local failing baby dragon bookshop to prove their magical business knowledge.
Determined to win the funding, Emmy dives into the task. But making a very flammable bookshop fit for baby dragons is no small feat, and it seems these rivals may need to join forces. Could Luke and Emmy's fiery animosity spark something more between them?

Doctor Copernicus
The first volume of John Banville’s Revolutions Trilogy and winner of the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, Doctor Copernicus is a rich historical novel that explores the life of one of history’s greatest scientists. The work of Nicholas Koppernigk, better known as Copernicus, shattered the medieval view of the universe and led to the formulation of the image of the solar system we know today. Here his life is powerfully evoked in a novel that offers a vivid portrait of a man of painful reticence, haunted by a malevolent brother and baffled by the conspiracies that rage around him and his ideas while he searches for the secret of life.‘Banville is superb . . . there are not many historical novels of which it can be said that they illuminate both the time that forms their subject matter and the time in which they are read: Doctor Copernicus is among the very best of them’ The EconomistNow part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.

That afternoon, when the police and then my mother finally arrived, they found me sitting beside Marlowe holding her hand and talking to her: about a boy I had a crush on, about the buttery yellow jumpsuit I had seen in a shop window that would look perfect on her; about those two cups of half-drunk coffee sitting on the table.

The End and the Beginning
A stunning tour de force of a novel based on the true story of a fourteen-year-old boy’s harrowing experience fleeing a Hitler youth camp with his best friend in the last days of the Second World War—perfect for readers of All the Light WeCannot See and The German Girl. At the start of the war, eight-year-old Max Bernot lives with his sister and parents in Lauterbach, Saarland, a narrow strip of territory between the French and German defence lines. His German father, Anton, and his French mother, Marguerite, do their best to shield Max and his sister, Anna, from Nazi violence, but in late 1944, their beloved godfather is executed in their garden by the SS, and Max, now thirteen, is conscripted in the Volkssturm. Less than a month later, Max flees a Hitler Youth camp in Bavaria with his best friend, Hans. His mission: to return home and tell his mother the truth about his godfather’s murder As he escapes, he sends postcards to his family that trace his fraught journey across a country in its death throes. Unbeknownst to Max, his mother is trapped in the German interior, coerced into working for a fanatical Nazi officer. Desperate to escape and reunite her family, Marguerite must first protect Anna from the sinister attentions of their captor, who could hold information on Max’s whereabouts even as Allied planes circle closer. Deftly interweaving the wartime stories of Max and Marguerite, The End and the Beginning maps the loss of innocence of a generation of children raised in the shadow of the Reich and follows the fate of one family, neither wholly French nor entirely German, who find themselves on the wrong side whichever way they turn.
