Anatomy of an Alibi
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of First Lie Wins, a tense, feverish thriller about two women's lives that are forever intertwined when a murder threatens to expose them both.
Everyone at Chantilly's Bar noticed out-of-towner Camille Bayliss. Red lips, designer heels, sipping a Negroni. Flirted a little with a local but returned alone to her bed-and-breakfast before midnight in her sleek car.
But that woman wasn't Camille Bayliss. It was Aubrey Price.
Aubrey has been haunted by the terrible night that changed her life a decade ago, and she's convinced Benjamin Bayliss knows something about it. Living in a house full of criminals, Aubrey understands there's more than one way to get to the truth - and she may have found the perfect way in.
Camille Bayliss appears to have the picture-perfect life; she's married to hotshot lawyer Ben and is the daughter of a wealthy Louisiana family. Only nothing is as it seems: Camille believes Ben has been hiding dirty secrets for years, but she can't find proof because he tracks her every move.
Aubrey and Camille hatch a plan. It sounds simple: For twelve hours, Aubrey will take Camille's place. Camille will spy on Ben, and the two women will get the answers they desperately seek.
Except the next morning, Ben is found murdered. Both women need an airtight alibi, but only one of them has it. And one false step is all it takes for everything to come undone.
It can be murder to walk in another woman's shoes...

The Luminous Fairies and Mothra
The original story that hatched Mothra, one of the most beloved monsters in the “kaijuverse”—available in English for the first time Mystical and benevolent, the colossal lepidopteran Mothra has been one of the most beloved kaiju since 1961, when The Luminous Fairies and Mothra was originally published in Japanese. Commissioned by Toho Studios from three of Japan’s most prominent postwar literary writers (Shin’ichiro Nakamura, Takehiko Fukunaga, and Yoshie Hotta), the novella formed the basis for the now-classic monster film Mothra, with a protagonist second only to Godzilla in number of film appearances by a kaiju. Finally available in its first official English translation, The Luminous Fairies and Mothra will captivate ardent, longtime fans of the films as well as newcomers. Written just months after the largest political demonstrations Japan had ever seen, The Luminous Fairies and Mothra reflects the rebellious spirit of the time. In this original story, explorers visit a South Pacific island and capture a group of fairies, inciting the fury of the goddess Mothra, who sets out for Japan on a mission of rescue and revenge. Expressing a powerful social stance about Japan’s need to chart its own foreign policy during the Cold War, the novella’s political message was ultimately toned down in the Toho Studios film. Through this translation, Anglophone audiences will discover Mothra as a figure of protest fiction intricately reflecting the complex geopolitical situation in early 1960s Japan. The Luminous Fairies and Mothra is translated into lively prose by Jeffrey Angles, who also wrote an extensive afterword about the novella’s cultural context, the unusual story of its composition, and the development of the 1961 film. Following Angles’s best-selling translation of the original Godzilla novellas, this new work will once again delight kaiju fans everywhere. Retail e-book files for this title are screen-reader friendly with images accompanied by short alt text and/or extended descriptions.

Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure
Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure (commonly known as Fanny Hill), the most famous erotic novel in English, was denounced by its author as ''a Book I disdain to defend, and wish, from my soul, buried and forgot''. Cleland''s critics too condemned the ''infamous'' and ''poisonous'' novel when it first appeared in 1748-9. But the proliferation of editions, adaptations, and translations since then bears witness not only to the popularity of scandalous novels, but also to the book''s literary merit. Recounted with a lively use of metaphor and some curiously moral asides, Fanny Hill''s boisterous education as a London prostitute never quite effaces the ingenuous charm of her country upbringing, and her story places her among the great heroines of eighteenth-century literature. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

This is Where the Serpent Lives
Intimate and epic, elegiac and profoundly moving: a tour de force destined to become a classic of contemporary literature‘Set to be a standout novel of 2026 ... Brutal, funny and brilliantly told’ Patrick Gale, Guardian‘All the makings of a classic’ Vogue‘Expect to see this novel all over prize lists in 2026 ... Mueenuddin is a literary magician’ The Times‘Masterful storytelling’ Daily Mail‘A book you'll be hearing about again’ New York Times‘An excoriating epic of class and power’ Observer‘A future classic, pure and simple ... Simply put, the novel is a triumph’ Irish TimesMoving from Pakistan’s sophisticated cities to its most rural farmlands, This Is Where the Serpent Lives captures the extraordinary proximity of extreme wealth to extreme poverty in a land where fate is determined by class and social station. Daniyal Mueenuddin’s This Is Where the Serpent Lives paints a powerful portrait of contemporary feudal Pakistan and a farm on which the destinies of a dozen unforgettable characters are linked through violence and love, resilience, and tragedy. Yazid rises from abject poverty to the role of trusted servant to an affluent gangster; Saqib, an errand boy, is eventually trusted to lead his boss’s new farming venture, where he becomes determined to rise above his rank by any means necessary. Saqib’s boss, the wealthy landowner Hisham, reminisces about meeting his wife while she was dating his brother while Gazala, a young teacher, falls for Saqib and his bold promises for their future before learning about his plans to skim money from the farm’s profits. In matters of both business and the heart, Mueenuddin’s characters struggle to choose between the paths that are moral and the paths that will allow them to survive the systems of caste, capital, and social power that so tightly grip their country. ‘Stunning’ Los Angeles Times‘Mueenuddin recalls Chekhov ... But another writer comes to mind as well - Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, whose 1958 The Leopard offers a layered totalizing portrait of a society that is both changing and failing to change.

Tajný život
V knize Tajný život (1998, Vie secr?te) se Pascal Quignard noří do hlubin lidské duše a odkrývá vrstvy vnitřního života, které zůstávají skryté před pohledem ostatních – i často před námi samými. V útržkovitých, meditativních textech zkoumá motivy samoty, paměti, touhy a ticha. Quignard propojuje autobiografické reflexe s filozofickými úvahami a kulturními odkazy, čímž vytváří jedinečnou mozaiku intimity a myšlení. Jeho jazyk je zároveň střídmý i lyrický, ztišený i hluboký, a vede čtenáře k pozoruhodnému vnitřnímu rozhovoru o tom, co to znamená být – a být skrytě.
Pascal Quignard (1948) je francouzský spisovatel, esejista a překladatel, proslulý svou žánrově nezařaditelnou, mnohovrstevnatou tvorbou oscilující mezi beletrií, filozofií a autobiografií. Působil jako redaktor v nakladatelství Gallimard a jako prezident festivalu barokní hudby ve Versailles. Jeho styl je charakteristický fragmentárností, obrazností a výraznou introspekcí – často zkoumá témata paměti, ticha, sexuality, tělesnosti a jazyka. Nejznámějším autorovým textem je díky filmovému zpracování román Všechna jitra světa (1991); česky dále vyšly Bludné stíny, za něž roku 2002 získal Goncourtovu cenu, a Terasa v Římě (2000). Quignard je považován za jednoho z nejpronikavějších a nejoriginálnějších myslitelů současné francouzské literatury.
V noci na 27. ledna 1997 postihla Pascala Quignarda vážná zdravotní příhoda, z níž vyvázl jen o vlas. Tehdy se rozhodl zcela stáhnout z veřejného života a zasvětit se posledním, či v jeho případě prvním věcem člověka: archeologii slova, genealogii citu, etymologii smyslů, a to formou zlomků, úvah vycházejících z četby, lingvistického a jiného bádání. Tak vzniklo Poslední království, jedinečné literární dílo, které k dnešnímu dni čítá dvanáct svazků a jehož je Tajný život, přestože vyšel jako díl osmý, samým počátkem.
Crime Rangoon
Cindy Kwan, owner of Asia Village’s bookshop, The Modern Scroll, is privileged to host best-selling author, Charlene Chan for a signing in honor of the writer’s latest book, The Mystery of General Tso. Lana Lee is equally excited for the appearance of her favorite author and even more so when Cindy asks her to be Charlene’s “handler” for the event. Taking her duties very seriously, Lana stays by the side of the prominent author to assist in anything that she might need. With a line out the door and stretched through the plaza, Cindy is overjoyed at what a success this is for her shop. But, unfortunately for Cindy, her success comes with a price: the author is found dead in the mystery aisle, clutching a copy of her own book. Coincidentally the book’s plot matches the details of the murder. Lana’s boyfriend, Detective Adam Trudeau, is charged with leading the case investigation, but finds himself overwhelmed when he realises just how much of the book series is mimicked in reality. For the first time in their relationship, Adam calls on Lana to partner up with him to help solve the case. The couple must work through the novel to outwit the murderer, stay one step ahead, and beat the die-hard fan to the last chapter.
The Ballad of the Last Guest
Gregor returns home from another continent. The landscape, formerly dotted with small villages, has been absorbed into the outskirts of a large city, both familiar and foreign at the same time. His father sits playing cards, waiting for him, but Gregor is surprised to find his sister holding an infant. He, the older brother, is to be the child’s godfather - though he also carries with him the secret of his younger brother’s death. In the end, Gregor is never quite able to stay put. He is drawn out into the world, into the streets and alleys of what is now a city, to the cinema, the soccer stadium, the forest, and above all the old fruit orchard, now overgrown and beyond saving. As he walks, the present and the past become intertwined - memories of childhood surface, and inner voices enter into dialogue. Revisiting many of the settings and themes of Peter Handke’s previous works, The Ballad of the Last Guest takes stock of the changes that have been wrought on the land - and on human beings - over the course of the twenty-first century.
Marplová - Expertka na špatnost
Lidskou povahu zná jako nikdo jiný a dokáže bystře a nekompromisně odhalit její temnou stránku – i díky tomu se slečna Marplová stala jednou z nejoblíbenějších vyšetřovatelek zločinů v klasické krimi. Tato kniha mapuje, kde všude a s jakým úspěchem se objevila jak v díle své tvůrkyně, Agathy Christie, tak i v adaptované podobě na jevišti, na filmovém plátně či na televizních obrazovkách. S pomocí dobového materiálu včetně reprodukcí plakátů či snímků z natáčení zachycuje poutavým způsobem osudy této postavy od jejího zrodu před téměř sto lety až po nedávnou sbírku Dvanáct nových případů z pera současných autorek detektivek.
