Kylandov dar


Chudobná ako kostolná myš. Vidiečanka. Zaostalé dievča z hôr. Takéto nálepky sprevádzajú Tenleigh Falynovú, ktorá sa deň čo deň snaží prežiť v malom, chudobou zmietanom banskom mestečku, kde žije so sestrou a s psychicky chorou matkou. Jedinou nádejou pre ňu je každoročne udeľované štipendium Tyton Coal – vstupenka na ktorúkoľvek univerzitu podľa vlastného výberu. S ním by sa konečne vymanila z krutej reality svojho života, vybudovala si kariéru a možno raz dostala rodinu preč z Dennville. O toto štipendium však rovnako usilovne bojuje aj Kyland Barrett. Aj on túži opustiť mesto, ktoré mu prinieslo len bolesť. Po rokoch hladu, osamelosti a množstve prekážok nedovolí, aby mu ešte niečo stálo v ceste – a už vôbec nie dievča, ktoré je jeho najväčšou konkurenciou. V istom okamihu sa však všetko zmení. Z cudzincov sa stanú priatelia a od priateľstva je už len krok k láske. Obaja sú odhodlaní nevytvoriť si medzi sebou trvalé puto, ale čím viac času spolu trávia, tým viac sa to zdá nemožné. Získať štipendium a odísť však môže iba jeden. A keď ten deň nastane... čo sa stane s tým druhým? Preklad z anglického originálu Kyland (Bloom Books, an imprint of Sourcebooks, USA, 2023) Hana Bojmírová.

Kniha tajomstiev


Rím 1659 Od skončenia morovej epidémie uplynuli už dlhé mesiace, no v meste naďalej zomiera nezvyčajne veľa mužov. A čo je ešte zvláštnejšie, ich mŕtvoly sa nerozkladajú. A tak pápežské úrady poveria mladého právnika Stefana Bracchiho, aby celú záležitosť čo najnenápadnejšie vyšetril. Girolama Spanová, vážená liečiteľka a veštkyňa, žije na západnom brehu rieky Tiber v dome označenom ľaliou a obklopenom záhradou plnou liečivých bylín. Jej pomoc vyhľadáva mnoho rímskych žien - aj keď by to nikdy nepriznali, priam dychtia po jej zázračných nápojoch lásky krášliacich prípravkoch - balzamoch, krémoch a tonikách, ale i po predpovediach budúcnosti. Nadovšetko si však cenia jeden jej tajný recept, ktorý je pre ich násilných manželov tou najväčšou hrozbou. Preto nečudo, že keď sa Večným mestom začnú šíriť chýry o podozrivých úmrtiach mužov, pozornosť vyšetrovateľa Stefana Bracchiho upúta práve Girolama so svojimi pomocníčkami. Je podozrivá z čarodejníctva a ocitne sa v smrteľnom ohrození. Ibaže táto nebojácna žena sa vždy riadila múdrosťou, že v živote existujú tajomstvá, ktoré si zapisujeme do kníh, iné, ktoré odovzdávame ďalej, a napokon také, ktoré si so sebou vezmeme do hrobu. Počas rozsiahleho vyšetrovania Stefano postupne odkrýva nepredstaviteľné hrôzy, čary aj tajomstvá. Zároveň však začína uvažovať, či by niektoré činy nemali radšej zostať navždy nepotrestané... Z anglického originálu The Book of Secrets (Orion Fiction, an imprint of the Orion Publishing Group Ltd, London 2024) preložila Diana Ghaniová.

Psychopat


Vražda nebola jeho najzávažnejším zločinom Píše sa rok 1957 a celá Amerika hľadí na fotografiu štíhleho muža zo stredozápadu – s pokriveným úsmevom a temným tajomstvom. Na muža, ktorý svoju malú farmu vo Wisconsine premenil na vlastný súkromný svet krvavých zločinov. Toto je skutočný príbeh Eda Geina, vraha, ktorého brutálne fantázie inšpirovali Alfreda Hitchcocka k natočeniu filmu Psycho. Je to tiež šokujúci portrét zdanlivo slušného, tichého farmára, ktorý bol naviazaný na despotickú matku a spáchal sériu činov presahujúcich ľudské chápanie. Kniha Psychopat v mrazivých detailoch skúma neuveriteľnú cestu jedného z najdesivejších šialencov v americkej kriminálnej histórii. Preklad z anglického originálu Deviant (Pocket Books, New York 1998) Beata Horná.

Láska môjho večného života


Veselý príbeh o láske až za hrob Ak by Delphie už nebola mŕtva, určite by zomrela od hanby. Zadusiť sa hamburgerom z mikrovlnky a navyše v ohavnej nočnej košeli? Takto si svoju smrť rozhodne nepredstavovala. O to viac, keď sa v posmrtnom živote stretne s tým najpríťažlivejším mužom, akého kedy videla. No zdá sa, že ani jej uhorkovozelené ponožky, trápne tričko a poľutovaniahodné stravovacie návyky nie sú pre neho prekážkou. Problém nastáva až vtedy, keď Delphinu osudovú lásku pošlú späť na Zem. Jeho čas ešte nenastal a Delphie sa s touto nebeskou administratívnou chybou odmieta zmieriť. Podarí sa jej uzavrieť dohodu, vďaka ktorej sa môže vrátiť medzi živých. Má to však háčik. Na nájdenie svojej spriaznenej duše má len desať dní, a to ju neznámy ešte musí sám od seba pobozkať. Aby to zvládla, potrebuje sa Delphie naučiť niečo, s čím mala problém celý život – počúvať vlastné srdce. Preklad z anglického originálu The Love of My Afterlife (Penguin Books, Great Britain, 2024) Bibiána Lieskovanová.

Laco Déczi - totálně vytroubený mozek, 2. vydání


Laco Déczi je sprosťák, hulvát a křikloun, říká novinář Tomáš Poláček, autor knižního rozhovoru Totálně vytroubený mozek. Slavný trumpetista pozval Poláčka do amerického Connecticutu, kde posledních třicet let žije. Lovili mušle v oceánu, vysedávali u ohně, poslouchali jazz, a během jejich rozhovoru se Laco Déczi otevřel. "Odhodil masku burana," říká Poláček, "a já poznal svobodnou, něžnou a hravou duši." A taková je i kniha - sprostá, politicky nekorektní, hravá a něžná.
