Seven


As heard on BBC R4s Start the Week, 'hilarious, insightful and supremely intelligent writing''What a writer.' ALI SMITH'Endlessly inventive' THE TIMES'Thoroughly pleasurable' DAILY TELEGRAPH'One of the most brilliant British writers working today.' SPECTATORWho decides the rules of the games we pla? n August 2007, or thereabouts, a young philosopher leaves Oslo, heading for Greece, on a mission to find Theodoros Apostolakis, the head of the Society of Lost Things. Fortunately, Apostolakis isn't lost, but everything else is: ancient libraries, entire civilisations, priceless books and a beautiful box, once used to play the world-famous game of Seven. The hunt for this small thing, among the countless lost things, becomes an absurdist quest through time and space: from the earliest human societies to the advent of AI. Told, shared and mythologised by our narrator, along with a wild cast of dreamers, philosophers, poets, rebels and optimists, Seven is an extraordinary, uplifting journey through an ever darkening world.

Muž s prstenem


Říká se, že nadpoloviční většinu vražd žen spáchá jejich partner. V případě nezvykle brutální vraždy sestřičky z nemocnice v Kalnes ale všechno nasvědčuje tomu, že partner je v tom tentokrát nevinně a v okolí řádí sériový vrah. Na světlo postupem času vyplývají další skutečnosti, které ukazují na dávný, dosud nevyřešený případ mladé studentky ve vzdálené Voldě – je mezi nimi ale skutečná spojitost, nebo se jedná jen o slepou uličku? Bývalý policista Anton Brekke má navíc úplně jiné starosti – snaží se udržet si práci v nemocnici a nepropadnout své staré hráčské vášni. Když ho jeho bývalý parťák přijde požádat o radu, nemá žádnou motivaci se do případu zapojovat. To se ovšem změní, když zemře jedna z jeho pacientek. Že by i její smrt souvisela s vraždami, které vyšetřuje Magnus Torp? Při rozkrývání starých tajemství se ale může snadno stát, že bývalí kolegové narazí na protivníka, na kterého jejich síly stačit nebudou.

Love at First Sighting


A chance at love might not be out of this world in this astronomically charming romantic comedy from the USA Today bestselling author of Love and Other Conspiracies. Los Angeles social media influencer El Martin seems to have a picture-perfect life. But what El wants more than anything is to find something real to make her heart race in a way it hasn't in years. She doesn't expect that feeling to come from capturing footage of an unidentified flying . . . thing, much less from the charming Man in Black who keeps following her around. Agent Carter Brody is trying his best to keep the Private Intelligence Sector afloat by dragging their hopelessly out-of-date office into this century, even though what he really wants to do is follow in his father's footsteps by identifying and hiding extraterrestrial sightings. He gets his chance after being assigned to El's case and is stopped in his tracks not only by her ingenuity and confidence but also by an unnerving coincidence-her sighting looks eerily like what Carter himself saw right before a family tragedy. The deeper El and Carter fall into the mystery, the harder it is for them to ignore their growing chemistry as their own alien feelings become dangerously terrestrial.
