Pět kajícných


Neoficiální agent Winter se hodlá vypořádat s dobře organizovaným zlem, kterému se daří nejen v podsvětí pochybných podniků, drogových dealerů a pasáků, ale i nebezpečně blízko našim každodenním životům. Při pátrání po zmizelé sotva patnáctileté studentce Pavle se ocitá ve spirále násilí, v prostředí, kde platí zákony mnohem tvrdší než staré dobré „zub za zub, oko za oko“. Podaří se mu Pavlu najít živou? Přežije sám proti brutální přesile? A kde leží hranice mezi spravedlností a osobní mstou? Ať už ale Wintr lavíruje nad jakoukoli propastí, nikdy ho neopouští jeho břitký jazyk – dar i prokletí, které mu přináší převahu i komplikace v těch nejméně vhodných chvílích. 5 kajícných je neortodoxní detektivka, temná, provokativní, plná intelektuálních hříček a ledově mrazivého humoru, balancující na hraně absurdity. Od první stránky udržuje čtenáře v napětí a zároveň ho nutí přemýšlet, zda lze temnotu porazit, aniž by se jí člověk sám ušpinil.

Like lambs. Awaiting slaughter. Book One in The EVOL Trilogy. "EVOL is one of the most original, ingenious and intriguing science fiction stories that I have read for a while.

Aphrodite


From the author of Herc, a Waterstones Best Book of the Year ‘Particularly skilled in evoking the strangeness and contradictoriness of Greek myths’ Sunday Times ‘A joyful exploration of one woman's quest for home, power, identity and ultimately, freedom from fate. A genuine pleasure to read!’ Clare North, author of Ithaca * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ‘I’m a liar, to begin with.’ I wasn’t always a goddess, you see. My only real power was my beauty – you’ll have heard. It’s legendary. But that was never going to be enough for me. It took a web of lies to convince the gods of Olympus I was one of them. But I did. I was that good. Zeus gave me a title and riches and loved me. And all he wanted in return was for me to love him back. But of course, Zeus was a tyrant. (Not entirely surprising when you’re ninety per cent insecurities and ten per cent raw power.) I couldn’t live at someone’s mercy. Really, I had no choice. I had to take on the mightiest Olympian of all. And this bit’s not a lie… I intended to win. A wonderful tale set in Ancient Greece where a being with no power rises to the very top by outwitting other gods all while maintaining a sense of exactly who she is – a goddess who intends to always do it her way. Perfect for fans of Ferdia Lennon, Madeline Miller and Jennifer Saint * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Authors and readers ADORE Aphrodite: 'Sparkles with wicked humour and boundless imagination' Kate Heartfield, Sunday Times bestselling author ‘Welcome the Real Housewives of Olympus. Stunning, brilliant, witty, so delicious it could only be divine’ Reader review 'Wit and verve, contrasting laugh-out-loud humour with moments of surprising tenderness' Luna McNamara, author of Pysche and Eros 'With sharp dialogue and dynamic scenes, it plays like a divine reality show' Woman&Home 'I can't emphasise enough how much I adored this version of Aphrodite – wickedly funny, caustic, fierce, playful and cheeky yet with a soft centre' Reader review 'Aphrodite gives a human voice to the inhuman goddess that you can’t help but love' Lizzy Tiffin, author of Bad Girls of Ancient Greece 'If you’ve ever wondered what Tina Fey retelling your favorite myths would be like, Phoenicia Rogerson has the answer' Ian Doescher, author of the William Shakespeare's Star Wars series 'Greek Mythology has never been so engaging, witty and clever as now!'
