Oskar Ed - Můj nejlepší přítel


Oskar Ed znovu v hlavní roli sebe sama na antihrdinské pouti kancelářskými chodbami vlastní hlavy. Tentokrát aspiruje na titul nejosamělejšího zaměstnance roku, desetiletí, století, tisíciletí. Své touhy, lásky a naděje pravidelně proměňuje v monstrózní nepřátelský organismus pohlcující okolní svět. Snad mu přece jen svitne naděje na lepší příští, snad si ji nesplete s plamínkem plynového sporáku, snad rozpozná obrysy možného přátelství, pomocné ruky, která ho vyvede z temnoty, a snad se následně nespálí jako už tolikrát. Snad se Oskarův nehostinný svět může ještě proměnit. Vítejte na burze obnošených kostýmů, předmětů z druhé ruky a sběratelských rarit ukrytých v hlubokých kapsách pelichajících županů. Vítejte v hotelu paní Marty, na recepci vyplňte dotazník, nedělejte nepořádek a užijte si pobyt!

Kašpar Lén mstitel


Kašpar Lén mstitel (1908) je jedním z mála českých románů napsaných ve stylu zolovského naturalismu. Příběh zedníka Léna zasadil Čapek Chod (1860–1927) do každodenního shonu rodícího se průmyslového velkoměsta, aby dokumentoval existenční podmínky různých společenských vrstev konce devatenáctého století. Věrohodnost odpozorovaných detailů z prostředí pražských pavlačí a lokálů, ze života a práce dělníků a řemeslníků a rovněž z průběhu soudního líčení autor posílil užitím obecné češtiny i profesních slangů. Napjatá atmosféra, psychologie vraha a nečekaný závěr procesu — tragický, anebo groteskní?

From New York Times bestselling author of Sold on a Monday and The Ways We Hide comes a story of one woman's journey through Portland's Chinatown and its infamous Shanghai tunnels, giving voice to those in the shadows in a spellbinding story of a young half-Chinese mother and her determination to forge a future for her daughter in a world that shuns outsiders. From the New York Times bestselling author of Sold on a Monday and The Ways We Hide She came from a lineage known for good fortune...by those who don't know the whole story. Portland, 1888. Amid the subterranean labyrinth of the notorious Shanghai Tunnels, a woman awakens in an underground cell, drugged and disguised. Celia soon realizes she's a "shanghaied" victim on the verge of being shipped off as forced labor, leaving behind those she loves most. Although well accustomed to adapting for survival-being half-Chinese, passing as white during an era fraught with anti-Chinese sentiment-she fears that far more than her own fate lay at stake. As she pieces together the twisting path that led to her abduction, from serving as a maid for the family of a dubious mayor to becoming entwined in the case of a goldminers' massacre, revelations emerge of a child left in peril. Desperate, Celia must find a way to escape and return to a place where unearthed secrets can prove even more deadly than the dark recesses of Chinatown. A captivating tale of resilience and hope, The Girls of Good Fortune explores the complexity of family and identity, the importance of stories that echo through generations, and the power of strength found beneath the surface.

A háromfa hölgye


1464, Buda. Fiatal nő holtteste függ a vesztőhelyen emelkedő háromfán. Külseje előkelő származást sejtet, kilétét és halálának körülményeit azonban homály fedi. Öngyilkos lett? Megölték? Ha az utóbbi, akkor miért tették közszemlére az ismeretlen szépséget, felakasztva a háromfára? Miért nem ásták el, vagy hagyták vadak prédájának? Marcus, a kíváncsi hóhér minden kérdésre tudni szeretné a választ, ezért napi teendői közepette, saját szakállára nyomozni kezd. Minél mélyebbre ássa magát az ügyben, annál több lesz a halott, annál jobban összekuszálódnak a szálak. Ám a hóhért sem Isten, sem ember nem tántoríthatja el céljától: eltökélt szándéka, hogy megtalálja a bűnöst, és vérpadra juttatja, igazságot szolgáltatva ezzel a háromfa hölgyének. Az izgalmas történelmi krimiben kín és gyönyör, bűn és bűnhődés kéz a kézben jár. Gráczer L. Tamás regényében a Mátyás koronázására készülő, középkor végi Buda elevenedik meg zsibongó piacaival és utcáival, ragyogásával és nyomorával, bűnre csábító nőivel, ügyeskedő politikusaival, a társadalom megannyi kitaszítottjával és a korszak számos, közismert alakjával. A háromfa hölgye a Prae Kiadó krimipályázatának első díját nyerte el 2021-ben. A regény A budai hóhér sorozat első kötete.
