Wartime London's 'Bonnie and Clyde'


How did a petite dancer from a Welsh mining town become a killer in wartime London? Set against the chaos of the Second World War, Wartime London's 'Bonnie and Clyde' unravels the gripping true crime story of Betty Jones and Karl Hulten, whose crime spree led to tragedy and infamy. Betty’s life, shaped by poverty, upheaval, and trauma, took a dark turn when war erupted. After surviving assault, rejection, and a violent marriage, she fled to London from Wales, seeking glamour but found herself ensnared in a shadowy world of striptease dancing, black-market dealings, and fleeting romances. In 1944, she crossed paths with Karl Hulten, a charming yet volatile American deserter, and together they embarked on a reckless spree culminating in the fatal shooting of a taxi driver, a case that would be dubbed the 'Cleft Chin Murder.'Drawing from newly uncovered evidence, police records, court transcripts, and first-hand accounts, this narrative delves into Betty’s transformation and the media frenzy that followed. Was she a cold-blooded killer or a pawn in a destructive partnership? And what became of her after she narrowly escaped executio? artime London's 'Bonnie and Clyde' is a haunting tale of crime, justice, and redemption, exploring gender roles, societal attitudes, and the profound impact of war on those living in its shadow. It challenges readers to question how far circumstances and choices shape those who kill, and whether justice was truly served in a case where all were victims.

Záhada siedmich ciferníkov, 2. vydanie


V Záhade Siedmich ciferníkov Agatha Christie rozohrala dokonale premyslenú zápletku so špionážnymi prvkami, ktorej rozlúštenie zaskočí aj toho najostrieľanejšieho čitateľa detektívok. TERAZ AKO SERIÁL SEDEM CIFERNÍKOV NA NETFLIXE Bohatí manželia Cooteovci, ktorí si na dva roky prenajali sídlo Chimneys, sa radi obklopujú mladými ľuďmi, a tak si doň na pár dní pozvú skupinku priateľov. Jeden z mládencov, Gerry Wade, má veľké problémy s ranným vstávaním, a tak sa ostatní rozhodnú, že si z neho poriadne vystrelia: v noci mu do izby dajú osem budíkov a nastavia ich tak, aby prvý zazvonil o pol siedmej. Na druhý deň ráno však budíky napriek ohlušujúcemu rinčaniu Gerryho z postele nevytiahnu, v tom čase je už totiž mŕtvy. A jeden budík chýba. Vyšetrovania podozrivého úmrtia zdravého mladého muža sa ujíma polícia, no ani Gerryho kamaráti nezaháľajú. Pátranie ich privedie na stopu záhadných Siedmich ciferníkov a zdá sa, že práve toto tajomné pomenovanie bude kľúčom k objasneniu prípadu. Amatérski pátrači sa však musia mať na pozore, najmä keď dôjde k ďalšej vražde... Z anglického originálu Agatha Christie: The Seven Dials Mystery preložila Alexandra Ruppeldtová. Tento preklad vznikol s podporou Literárneho fondu. Zaujímavosti o Agathe Christie a jej knihách nájdete na www.agathachristie.com.

Neptune’s Fortune


The riveting true story of a legendary Spanish galleon that sunk with over $1 billion in gold and silver-and one man's obsessive quest to find it-from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Madhouse at the End of the Earth. Roger Dooley wasn't looking for the San Jose. But an accidental discovery in the dusty stacks of a Spanish archive in the 1980s led him to the story of a lifetime-the journey of a ship that had gathered a mountain of riches from the New World for a long-awaited delivery to the King of Spain nearly three centuries earlier. But that ship, the galleon San Jose, never reached its destination. Instead, the Spanish treasure fleet was drawn into a pitched battle with British ships of war off the coast of Cartagena. When the smoke cleared, the San Jose had disappeared into the ocean. Though a diver at heart, Dooley was an unlikely candidate to find the San Jose. Half Cuban by birth, he lived a life that stretched from the ballfields of Brooklyn to the shores of Castro's Havana at the dawn of revolution, where he would help birth a fledgling nation's diving program and make films with Jacques Cousteau, before finding himself placed on an international watch list and barred from the United States. Dooley had little in the way of serious credentials, yet his tenacity and single-minded devotion to finding the San Jose led him to breakthroughs once thought impossible. As he jousted with famous treasure hunters and well-funded competitors, Dooley ultimately homed in on a patch of sea that might contain a three-hundred-year-old shipwreck-or nothing at all. Neptune's Fortune plunges into a rarified world through the eyes of an idiosyncratic protagonist, one whose work would spark the hopes of presidents and make real the dreams of a nation. This tale of temerity and treasure is a one-of-a-kind story of a lost fortune and the decades-long quest to shine a light on the bounty at the bottom of the sea.
