Bohyňa temnoty (s oriezkou)
Keď Evan Cross zistí, že mu v ceste za poriadnym balíkom peňazí stojí už iba jediná žena, nepredpokladá žiadne komplikácie. No ukáže sa, že Mina Blackwoodová ani zďaleka nie je ako ostatné ženy. Nielenže poľahky vzdoruje jeho šarmu a manipulácii, dokonca ho ešte aj drzo provokuje. Evan Cross však nikdy nepatril medzi trpezlivých mužov a jeho túžba po nej sa rýchlo mení na chorobnú posadnutosť. Keď na povrch vypláva jeho temná stránka, Mina vôbec nie je vydesená, práve naopak. Evan s prekvapením zisťuje, že nachádza nielen rovnocennú protivníčku, ale i spriaznenú dušu s rovnakými morbídnymi chúťkami, aké má on. Vzniká tak nebezpečná hra bez pravidiel plná temných túžob.

The Mini Breakers
Five women.
Twenty-two years of friendship.
One annual holiday that promises escape, connection and chaos in equal measure.
No matter how hectic their careers, relationships or family lives become, they keep their tradition alive: one week away together EVERY year. This time, the Mini Breakers are heading to Portugal.
But as the sun comes out, so do the secrets.
Between complicated love lives and the messy realities of middle age, this getaway might just be their most dramatic yet.
Scandals, revelations and questionable decisions are guaranteed when this group of gloriously imperfect, perimenopausal and fun-loving friends reunite.
Chasing Aliens
The US government has been investigating unidentified aerial phenomena in a secret division of the Department of Defence. A former intelligence official urged the US to disclose evidence of UFOs after saying the government possesses 'intact and partially intact' alien vehicles. And what about those sightings of Tic Tac, Gimbal, Go Fast and the infamous Oumuamua?
Danny Lavelle, our charming, borderline-bewildered investigator, sets out on a road trip through America's UFO heartlands to get some answers (thankfully 41% of Americans believe aliens have made contact so he has plenty of sources to choose from). Talking to those in the know in government and the UFO scene - often the same thing - Danny follows Lue Elizondo, Jeremy Corbell, attends sky watches (sometimes falling asleep in the desert), listens to alien abductees and has coffee with Starseeds (human beings who claim to be actual aliens).
Whether he's smoking weed whilst holding dumortierite crystals to access his interdimensional past, or discussing 'space beads' with the Harvard astrophysicist who's convinced he's found evidence of alien life, Danny's journey becomes a deeper story about our unshakeable fascination with little green men - and our deepest wishes not to be alone in the universe.
Heart the Lover
Our narrator understands good love stories - their secrets, their highs and free falls. But her greatest love story, the one she lived, never followed the rules.
She was in her senior year of college when star students Sam and Yash swept her into an intoxicating world of academic fervour, rapid-fire banter and raucous card games. Their lives became quickly intertwined - with friendship but also with unpredictable passions and the intimations of first love.
Decades later, she is a successful writer, living a comfortable life with her husband and children, when a surprise visit brings the past crashing into the present, forcing her to confront the decisions and deceptions of her youth.
An Accidental Death
Get ready to be hooked by the first book in the thrilling and atmospheric DC Smith/Kings Lake Investigation series, by the million-copy-selling crime writer. An experienced detective’s unorthodox methods land him in troubled waters... 'Pitch-perfect crime writing.' DAILY EXPRESS'Had me gripped from the very start to the extremely satisfying ending.' ***** Reader Review'Where has Peter Grainger been my whole life?' ***** Reader Review'I read a LOT of murder mysteries and this series is one of the best!' ***** Reader ReviewWhen a young man drowns after a boisterous party in a small riverside town, his friends and family report it to the Kings Lake police as a devastating accident. DC Smith, newly returned from leave, and the young, ambitious trainee Christopher Waters are assigned to the case as a routine investigation. But the post-mortem reveals violent injuries, witnesses give contradictory accounts of the events leading up to the drowning and locals seem determined to redirect their attention. Becoming increasingly suspicious of institutional caution and external interference, Smith and Waters strike out on their own. As they get closer to the truth, they realise the danger is not quite over. 'Ensconced in Kings Lake, in the company of Smith and his team, I didn’t want to leave.'

A viking fiai - Bosszú
866 TAVASZA, BRIT-SZIGETEK
A 15 éves Wulf kötéllel a nyakában áll az akasztófa alatt, amikor vikingek törnek be a faluba, és mindenkit lemészárolnak. Őt valamiért mégis életben hagyják, és magukkal viszik. Ahhoz azonban, hogy ne kelljen rabszolgasorban tengődnie élete végéig, bizonyítania kell a rátermettségét, és hasznos információkat kell adnia a szászokról. Hamarosan ugyanis rájön, hogy a falu elleni támadás nem volt véletlen: a híres viking, Ragnar Lodbrok öt fia - Vasbordájú Björn, Csonttalan Ivar, Kígyószemű Sigurd, Fehéringes Hálfdan és Ubbe - azért érkezett ide, hogy bosszút álljon apjuk feltételezett gyilkosán.
Ahogy Wulf egyre jobban megismeri a viking harcosok életét és intrikáit, éles eszének és jó megfigyelőképességének hála zavarba ejtő nyomokra bukkan. Lehet, hogy valamelyik testvér ölte meg az apjukat? És ha igen, miért? Miközben a Lodbrok-fiúk inváziója fenyegeti a vidéket, elkezdődik a versenyfutás az idővel - vajon Wulf be tudja bizonyítani, hogy ki a gyilkos, hogy ezzel megmentse magát, és megakadályozza még több ártatlan ember halálát?
A viking fiai - Bosszú izgalmas cselszövésekkel és véres harcokkal teli története Ragnar Lodbrok és fiai ősi legendáján alapul.
The Railway Murders
The vast majority of Britain’s railways were built between 1825 and 1900. By the turn of the nineteenth/twentieth century, over one-hundred different railway companies were operating in Britain on more than 22,000 miles of railway track. Although these new railways brought prosperity to the nation, and enabled goods and passengers to be speedily transported the length and breadth of the country for the first time, this remarkable feat of engineering brought with it some unwelcome side-effects, one of which was crime. A vast number of passengers travel on Britain’s railway network each day, and unfortunately, a considerable amount of crime does occur on our railways. The types of crime committed on Britain’s railways varies considerably from petty or minor crime, to more serious crimes. Most people would consider that the crimes of “murder” and “attempted murder” are amongst the most serious crimes committed in our country, irrespective of where these appalling acts take place. A substantial number of murders and attempted murders have taken place on the railway network of Britain, during its two-hundred years of operation, and details surrounding the vast majority of these cases are revealed in this book, some for the first time. The author has spent many months of research, mainly through old newspaper archives, in order to obtain establish and publish historical information about murders committed on Britain’s railways, many of which have been long forgotten, or lost in the annals of time.

The Penguin Book of Cults
A chilling documentary history of the most notorious cults of the past two thousand years, from the ancient Roman ritual sacrifices that inspired The Wicker Man all the way up to Heaven?s GateA Penguin ClassicHypnotism. Human sacrifice. Sexual perversion. Mass suicide. For millennia, people have been enthralled by graphic descriptions of terrible rites performed by the religious other. The Penguin Book of Cults compiles the most notorious and uncanny of these true accounts: salacious stories of frenzied worship by the cult of Dionysus; human sacrifices burned alive in giant wooden effigies, the inspiration for the (cult) classic movie The Wicker Man; moral panics over the hypnotic powers of yoga; early horror stories of abuse in the Mormon Church; the massacre at Jonestown, which left hundreds of bodies strewn across a foreign jungle; a church that worshipped a 1950s salesman named Bob; the bloody FBI siege of the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas; and the mass suicide of Heaven?s Gate. Both terrible and tragic, this illuminating history of cults exposes the seductive power with which new religious movements have ensnared their followers and beguiled outsiders for generations.
Prokletí lesa Grimm
Prokletí lesa Grimm je druhý díl duologie odkrývající záhady tajemného lesa Grimm. Obyvatele Grimmské Doliny sužuje strašná kletba, kterou na ně uvrhl čarovný les poté, co byla jeho magie zneužita k vraždě místního kováře. Dokud se hlavní hrdince Claře nepodaří vypátrat vraha, les ve své zlobě nepoleví. Po událostech z prvního dílu – částečném zlomení kletby – je dlouhé utrpení přerušeno krátkým obdobím naděje. Tu však velmi rychle vystřídá o to větší zklamání, když les udeří znovu a silněji. Clara s Axelem, svým milým, se tedy opět vydávají do lesa Grimm, aby rozluštili všechny záhady a zároveň se pokusili zachránit co nejvíce obyvatel vesničky, které les vtáhl a jejichž osudy proměnil v pokřivené a vražedné verze pohádek bratří Grimmů. Při čtení tak na vás čeká pořádná dávka napětí, trocha hororové atmosféry a nechybí ani romantická linka.
Domov zlatem spravený
Středoškolačka Mao žije se svou babičkou Čie, která se věnuje tradiční japonské technice kincugi – umění opravovat rozbité nádoby pomocí zlata tak, aby se staré praskliny staly jejich ozdobou.
Mao se musí brzy rozhodnout, jakým směrem se vydá, ale zatím ji svírá nejistota. Když jednoho dne v babiččině zásuvce objeví lakovanou jehlici do vlasů, spustí tím vlnu vzpomínek, která je obě zavede na cestu do minulosti. Staré křivdy, nevyřčená tajemství i slova, která už nelze vzít zpět, rozlámala lidská srdce.
A přesto, stejně jako při opravě prasklého nádobí zlatem, i z rozbitých duší může znovu vzniknout krása a naděje.

The Iliad
A timeless tale of war, pride, and the cost of glory Homer's Iliad stands as one of the greatest achievements in Western literature. Set during the final weeks of the Trojan War, the epic centres on Achilles, the Greeks' greatest warrior, whose pride and wrath threaten the fate of his comrades. As the armies of Troy and Greece clash, the poem explores the heroism and horror of battle, the bonds of friendship, and the tragic consequences of vengeance. With gods intervening at every turn and legendary figures such as Hector, Agamemnon, and Patroclus shaping the conflict, The Iliad is both a gripping war story and a profound meditation on mortality, honour, and fate. Inside the book: The dramatic conflict between Achilles and Agamemnon, and the complexities of heroismScenes of epic battles, duels, and the fall of heroes Themes of pride, wrath, honour, and the intervention of the godsModern translation and Introduction by Prof. Ian Johnston Ideal for readers drawn to epic poetry, classical history, and the enduring questions of human nature, The Iliad is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the roots of Western storytelling.
Having Spent Life Seeking
'Amazing, it really moved me... Not something I've encountered in British literary fiction before' SHON FAYE'If books can still change the world, this one most likely will' COLUM MCCANN'A scorching story of love, change, homecoming and forgiveness' DAWN FRENCHRothko Taylor has washed up with the tide, back in their hometown, Edgecliff. Fifteen years since they left it behind. The past is accelerating towards them: the skateboard kids on the high street that remind them of their teenage years, the splintered benches looking out to sea, where their mum Meg clutched her cans. The nice bit of town, where their dad Ezra tried and failed to build a happy home. And Dionne's block. Beautiful, extraordinary Dionne, the only person who had ever looked at them and seen what was there. Back then, overwhelmed and full of fear, they sank beneath the surface into chaos. But they made it out alive. And this time, Rothko is determined that things will be different. A decade since Kae Tempest's last novel, Having Spent Life Seeking is about family and forgiveness; redemption and atonement; desire and abandon; selfhood and community. This book is about things we seek when we are hiding, and what finds us, if we can let ourselves be seen.
