The Keeper
On a cold night in a remote Irish village, a girl goes missing.
Sweet, loving Rachel Holohan was about to be engaged to the son of the local big shot. Instead, she's dead in the river.
In a place like this, her death isn't simple. It comes wrapped in generations-old grudges and power struggles, and it splits the townland in two. Retired Chicago detective Cal Hooper has friends here now and he owes them loyalty, but his fiancée Lena wants nothing to do with Ardnakelty's tangles. As the feud becomes more vicious, their settled peace starts to crack apart. And when they uncover a scheme that casts a new light on Rachel's death and threatens the whole village, they find themselves in the firing line.
Favourite Daughter
THESE TWO STRANGERS HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON . . . THEIR FATHER.
'He left you some money.'
Mickey felt her mouth drop open. The first half of that sentence had rung clear and true. The second half had not. Her father was one to take, not give.
After he left them for his new family, Mickey resolved never to think of her father again. She's fine without him; yes, she drinks, but only sometimes and, really, she can't not.
But with only $181 to her name, she's not above attending some mandated therapy to access her inheritance. She'll kneel at the Kleenex alter and soon be bingeing Bridgerton with a bottle of Russian Standard, five million dollars richer.
Arlo has more issues than most of her clients. Being a therapist has not prepared her for grief. She adored her father - his laughter, his charm, the smell of his cologne. She thought he adored her, too, but now he's given his inheritance to a daughter no one knows, and Arlo is at a loss.
Two sisters are unknowingly thrown together for the first time.
It's crazy, it's unethical.
It's perfect.

When a chance comes up to study an obscure collection of papyrus fragments at Oxford University, he seizes it. Though it means leaving his daughter and fracturing marriage back home in Canada, this is the kind of career break he desperately needs. In the depths of the Bodleian Library, Harlow discovers a lost account of the Trojan War, a glimpse into the founding of Western civilization itself. He names the epic poem The Psoad, after its protagonist, a Greek commoner identified as Psoas of Midea but known to all as 'son of nobody'. As sole translator and interpreter of the Psoad, Harlow dedicates the poem and its modern footnotes to his daughter, Helen. Under his gaze, the text unlocks echoes of Ancient Greece into the present day, and a personal message to his beloved child appears. Despite the three-thousand-year gap between the two, a thread hasn't frayed: the universal song of homesickness and regret, of ambition and grief. In this masterpiece of myth and history, Son of Nobody explores how stories become facts, the price we pay to share them and how we live - then, now and always.

Jonas Crow is not your average mortician. Tall, lean, and accompanied by a carrion-eating vulture, he travels the Old West in a black hearse, providing final rites for those who can afford them. But Jonas is a man with a past as dark as the clothes he wears—and his newest client is about to make life very difficult for the living. When the wealthy and hated mining tycoon Joe Cusco summons Crow, it’s for a peculiar request: Cusco knows he’s dying, and he plans to take his vast fortune with him. By swallowing his hoard of gold nuggets before drawing his last breath, he turns his own body into a literal treasure chest. Now Jonas Crow must transport the gold-filled corpse across a desert crawling with outlaws, desperate miners, and Cusco’s own vengeful former employees. With a straight-laced English governess and a mysterious woman named Rose by his side, Crow must navigate a trail of greed where the line between the "good guys" and the vultures is razor-thin.

The Heir and the Spare
Once, I’d spent my life in the tunnels beneath the mountains. As one of the infants taken from Alfheimr, I spent twelve lifetimes hidden away in the tunnels of the Resistance with a Lunar Witch to watch over me. I knew the truth of my existence and when the Veil fell, my discovery became inevitable. Then, the Fae had come to bring me home to the land of Faerie. When the God of the Dead brought his human mate back to the tunnels after revealing the truth of his identity, he did so with the intent to return me to Mab. The Queen of Air and Darkness has waited centuries to find me on the other side of the Veil of Flesh and Bone, and she had sent her favorite weapon to do it. But I never expected to love Estrella the way I did, to feel the sisterly bond between us as if it had never been interrupted in our lifetimes apart. Now, they’ve bound me to a man I never asked for—a husband I didn’t want. Mab sees love as a weakness, and uses my bond with Estrella to manipulate me into a betrothal I never desired. I see this marriage as a cage, as a means of control that goes against everything within me. But when Mab kills the Summer King and sends Estrella into Tartarus, Etan leaves me no choice but to flee Tar Mesa and journey to the Summer Court to take the throne at his side. No matter what I leave behind.

And the more he learns the more he starts to wonder: Why can’t Daye survive more than one season? Can he do anything to break this cycle of bloom and decay? But as Rory grows older his thoughts turn darker too . . .While Rory sinks deeper into research and experiments, ensconced in libraries and hunched in university labs, Daye is left to wait for his return. Alone. Sometimes, the silence seems to seep all the way to her branch-bones. Sometimes, the company of birds is the only thing to remind her that she is still alive. And as Rory keeps pushing his experiments further and further, Daye starts to wonder – how far is too far?An entrancing, inventive and unsetlling reimagining of the story of Blodeuwedd from Welsh mythology, Honeysuckle is a feminist Frankenstein with flowers; a deliciously dark and twisted, horror-tinged fairytale with rot at its heart . . .

Čarovný papagáj a iné gýče
Čarovný papagáj a iné gýče je zbierka ôsmich poviedok. Okrem typických autorových textov sú súčasťou zbierky aj iné zvláštne poviedky. Niektoré akoby tvorili voľné série, ale nie sú radené za sebou. Jednu z týchto sérií tvoria tri veselé nezáväzné poviedky o netalentovanom spisovateľovi Kúcanskom, hrdinovi našich socialistických i postsocialistických čias. V knihe nájdete texty, v ktorých je Vilikovský osobnejší, s ambíciou dopátrať sa zmyslu a citu v situáciách, kde očividne absentujú. V roku 2006 v prvom ročníku ceny Anasoft litera Pavel Vilikovský za túto knihu získal hlavnú cenu.
Spartakiádní vrah
Román Štefana Horáka balancuje na pomezí beletrie a žánru true crime – soustředí se na vnitřní svět dospívajícího chlapce, který se postupně propadá do násilí. Kniha není rekonstrukcí zločinů spartakiádního vraha, ale ponorem do jeho myšlení: do jeho osamění, fantazií, potlačeného hněvu i pokřiveného vnímání reality. Na pozadí normalizační společnosti sleduje, jak se rodí temnota v hlavě člověka, který zůstává pro své okolí zcela neviditelný — až do chvíle, kdy už je příliš pozdě.
