Inside the Cartel
"Truth is always stranger than fiction… A stunning, riveting and extraordinary real-life story of life in the shadows." #1 International Bestselling Author Don Winslow
The gripping true story, that reads like fiction, of how legendary FBI Special Agent Martin Suarez went deep undercover - and lived a double-life for years - to infiltrate Colombia's most insidious drug cartels.
Martin Suarez, a legend within the FBI who specialised in Colombian drug cartels, holds the record for the longest time spent continuously undercover. As his alter ego Manny, Martin followed the unspoken rules of the cartels: He knew the right lingo to use, the right whiskey to drink, the right watch to wear, the wrong questions to ask. He smuggled over USD 1 billion worth of cocaine into the United States for the Medell?n Cartel and, as his cover deepened, he graduated to become a high-level money launderer for the North Coast Cartel. He helped wash tens of millions of dollars worth of drug money, ensnaring himself in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse while simultaneously exposing the Black Market Peso Exchange, the most insidious money laundering apparatus in the world that involved billionaire bankers, blue-chip American corporations, and even the President of Colombia himself.
Martin was raised by a father who served in the - military and valorized the nobility of the FBI, and Martin stopped at nothing to allow his father to live vicariously through his son. He wanted nothing more than to make his father proud and to be a good husband to his wife, and a loving father to his two young sons. He became a man caught between two worlds - that of an undercover agent who wanted to rid the world of its evils, but also that of a family man who was trying not to lose himself in this dark, brutal underworld that captivated the globe during the War on Drugs.
And yet his worlds begin to collide as danger creeps dangerously close to his doorstep when his cover is blown and a cartel-hired sicario comes hunting for him.
Inside the Cartel is told with the pulse-racing action of a Hollywood blockbuster. This is the story of Suarez and his time undercover and how maintaining the trust of hardened criminals can start to tear away at even the most principled soldier.

Dal Bůh koním duši?
Texty o přírodě, horách, lese i tajuplném tichu. Protože právě tam můžeme najít sami sebe.
Úběžníky autorčiných úvah jsou prosté. Duše přetékající radostí nebo naopak poznamenaná zápasy a bolestmi. Bůh, který v našem životě promlouvá nenápadně – který JE, i když mlčí. A majestát přírody, který není kulisou, ale tím, co silně oslovuje naši mysl i všechny naše smysly. Důležité je vyjít, vydat se na cestu.
Autorka nedospěla ke svým zkušenostem mystickým či mimořádným způsobem. Ani za nimi necestovala do daleké ciziny. Chodila prostě po Beskydech a měla otevřené oči i srdce. Připomíná nám, že „nejmenší brouček či rostlinka“ i každý z nás, „malá, nepatrná, a přesto nezastupitelná částečka tohoto světa“, jsme Bohem stvoření a milovaní. Něžné a silné poselství!

A múlt lankái
Három nő, három sors. Egy hallgatásokból, veszteségekből és kimondatlan szeretetből épült örökség.
Emese, a húszas évei végén járó tanárnő élete mélypontjára kerül. Egy testi és lelki összeomlás után úgy dönt, Angliába utazik, hogy eleget tegyen nagyanyja, Olga utolsó kívánságának. Egy távoli kisvárosban, egy ismeretlen nő vendégszobájában próbálja meg újrarendezni az életét, vagy legalább lezárni mindazt, amit már nem bír tovább cipelni. De a csend, az eső, az idegen ház konyhája és a Long Mynd szemközti dombjai mögül lassan új hangok szűrődnek be. Emese teste és lelke elkezd emlékezni, mozdulni, érzékelni. Egy váratlan vihar, egy forró tea, egy reggel, amikor már nem olyan nehéz felkelni. És valami, ami még nem a megoldás, de már nem is a vég.
Cserháti Éva regényében három nő sorsa fonódik össze egy finoman rétegzett történetben. A múlt lankái a női örökség súlyáról és erejéről mesél, arról, amit kimondtak, és arról is, amit elhallgattak. Mit kezdünk a családi múlt hibáival, eszméivel, hallgatásaival? Hogyan tud egy nő saját utat találni, ha a nagymamája a forradalmat, az anyja a túlélést választotta - és ő egyikben sem hisz?
„A belső csendből, melyhez csak hozzátett a fülembe fütyülő, kapucnimat cibáló szél, egyetlen érzés fakadt: egy percre teljesnek éreztem magam... Nem gyászoltam a múlt veszteségeit, és nem szorongattak a jövő lehetséges fájdalmai. Teljességérzetem testetlen volt, de figyelmem egyetlen képre összpontosult: Sarah apró háza, mint örök ígéret húzódott meg a dombok ölelésében”
Oheň a touha 1: V zajetí krále plamenů
Vyrval mě ze spárů smrti jen proto, abych byla jeho! Měla jsem se stát nevěstou-obětí mrtvého krále, dokud mě jeho vrah neprohlásil za svou. Zabriel vtrhl do mé země Maledin na hřbetě monstrózního, oheň chrlícího draka v ocelové plátové zbroji a mohl by mě snadno připravit o život – ale to není to, co by si Král plamenů přál. Místo toho zničí v ohnivé bouři všechny, kteří mi ublížili. Zlé síly v Maledinu ohrožují každého, koho znám a miluji. A existuje jen jediná osoba, která je dostatečně silná, aby mi pomohla je porazit. A jediné místo, kde jsem v bezpečí před prastarým nepřítelem, je v náručí Krále plamenů…

The Naked Light
A village haunted by stories. Two women bound by a secret.
A haunting gothic tale of ancient darkness and a love that defies convention, from Sunday Times #1 bestseller Bridget Collins.
Watching over the village of Haltington is an ancient carving in the ground, known to locals simply as the Face. It was first etched into the chalk when lives were ruled by superstition and stories; by fear of the unknown, of the shadows.
For centuries, the inhabitants of Bone Cottage have tended to it. But now that the Great War has decimated the population of even this most isolated of places, the Face stands neglected and overgrown.
When enigmatic outsider Kit moves into the cottage, the villagers are suspicious of her androgynous appearance and bohemian ways. In defiance of their disapproval, the vicar's unmarried sister-in-law Florence finds herself inexplicably drawn to Kit, and the friendship that grows between them becomes a light in the dark for her.
But the Face calls things to it, and now Florence and Kit are in its path…
A haunting gothic tale of ancient darkness and a love that defies convention, from Sunday Times #1 bestseller Bridget Collins.

Old Soul
The woman never goes by the same name.
She never stays in the same place too long.
She never ages. She never dies.
But those around her do.
When two grieving strangers meet by chance in Osaka airport they uncover a disturbing connection. Jake's best friend and Mariko's twin brother each died, 6,000 miles apart, in brutal and unfathomable circumstances.
Each encountered a mesmerising, dark-haired woman in the days before their deaths. A woman who came looking for Mariko - and then disappeared.
Jake, who has carried his loss and guilt for a decade, finds himself compelled to follow the trail set by Mariko's revelations. It's a trail that weaves across continents and centuries, leading back to the many who have died - in strange and terrifying and eerily similar ways - and those they left behind: bewildered, disbelieved, yet resolutely sure of what they saw.
And, at the centre of it all, there is the same beguiling woman. Her name may have changed, but her purpose has never wavered, and as Jake races to discover who, or what she is, she has already made her next choice.
But will knowing her secret be enough to stop her?
Luna and the Lie
The problem with secrets is that they're too easy to keep collecting.
Luna Allen has done some things she would rather no one ever know about. She also knows that, if she could go back in time, she wouldn't change a single thing.
With three sisters she loves, a job she (mostly) adores, and a family built up of friends she's made over the years, Luna figures everything has worked out the way it was supposed to.
But when one of those secrets involves the man who signs her paycheck, she can't find it in her to regret it. Despite the fact that he's not the friendliest man in the world. Or the most patient.
Sometimes there are things you're better off keeping to yourself.
Dear Dickhead
Dear Dickhead,
I read the piece you posted on Insta. You're like a pigeon shitting on my shoulder as you flap past. It's shitty and unpleasant. Congratulations: you've had your fifteen minutes of fame! You want proof? Here I am writing to you.
Rebecca Latté is a famous actress in her fifties, perhaps past the peak of her career.
Oscar Jayack is a middle-aged, moderately successful author who, in the wake of the #MeToo movement, has been accused of sexual harassment by his former publicist-turned-feminist blogger Zoé Katana.
When Oscar insults Rebecca's appearance on Instagram, she sends a scorching reply and the pair fall into a spiral of mutual antipathy. In back-and-forth emails, they vie for the last word, finding common ground in their experiences of addiction, assessing the changing world around them as Covid locks down Paris, and reluctantly beginning to lean on one another.
A novel of rage, irreverence and vulnerability, exploring ageing, gender, privilege, addiction and consent, Dear Dickhead is an excoriating encapsulation of our times and of the broken human beings trying to make sense of it.
Translated from the French by Frank Wynne

One of Us
In this compulsive story of betrayal, old bonds and buried scandals, one British establishment family comes face to face with the consequences of privilege and the true cost of power.
Martin and Ben were friends for decades - best friends, Martin would have said - before the terrible events at Ben's 40th birthday party tore them apart. So when Martin receives a surprise invitation back into the inner sanctum of the dazzling Fitzmaurice family after seven years of silence, he can't resist the chance to get his revenge.
Ben has risen through the ranks of power, and is now touted as the next Prime Minister. But Martin can't help but notice certain flies in the ointment… Ben's wife, Serena, for instance, whose privileged existence is beginning to feel like a gilded cage. Or their daughter, Cosima, an environmental activist fighting against everything her parents once stood for. Or the disgraced MP Richard Take, determined to make his big comeback. And then there's Fliss, the Fitzmaurice black sheep, whose untimely death sparks more suspicion than closure. Through their intertwined stories, we see a family - and a nation - unravelling under the weight of its secrets.
With everyone watching, the stage is set for a reckoning. It's time for Martin and Ben to confront what love truly means when everything-family, power, and loyalty-is on the line.

Kulti
"Trust me, I've wanted to punch you in the face a time or five."
When the man you worshipped as a kid becomes your coach, it's supposed to be the greatest thing in the world. Keywords: supposed to.
It took less than a week for twenty-seven-year-old Sal Casillas to wonder what she'd seen in the international soccer icon-why she'd ever had his posters on her wall, or ever envisioned marrying him and having super-playing soccer babies.
Sal had long ago gotten over the worst non-break-up in the history of imaginary relationships with a man that hadn't known she'd existed.
So she isn't expecting this version of Reiner Kulti who shows up to her team's season: a quiet, reclusive shadow of the explosive, passionate man he'd once been.
Nothing could have prepared her for the man she got to know.
Or the murderous urges he brought out in her.
This was going to be the longest season of her life.
