Červená karkulka musí zemřít
Inspektorka Lyla Rondellová pracuje na případu svého života. Má za úkol vyšetřit sérii záhadných úmrtí a zatím má jedinou stopu – to, že každé z nich se zdá být založeno na jiné klasické pohádce. Tisk si na případu, kterému dal název „Vraždy Grimmova Rozparovače“, parádně smlsne.
A jak se mrtvoly hromadí, celý Lylin svět se obrací vzhůru nohama. Krvavá stopa vraha sahá hluboko do její vlastní minulosti, a když odhalí pravdu, nic už nebude jako dřív.
Tváří v tvář skutečnosti, že vše, co zná, je fikce, musí Lyla zapojit vlastní kreativitu, pokud chce zabránit dalším vraždám...

Zloději těl
Mladý šlechtic James Willoughby přijíždí do Edinburghu studovat medicínu. Tamní univerzita nabízí vše, po čem touží – kromě možnosti pitvat lidské tělo. Musí se tedy přihlásit na jednu ze soukromých škol, kterou si však z finančních důvodů nemůže dovolit.
V zoufalství uzavře dohodu s asistentem proslulého anatoma Aneurinem „Nyem“ MacKinnonem, který mu nabídne práci a tím i přístup ke studiu. James si však brzy uvědomí, že uzavřel smlouvu s ďáblem. Nye totiž patří k vykradačům hrobů. James je Nyem okouzlený a přidá se k jeho skupině nechvalně známé krádežemi mrtvol sloužících jako anatomické vzorky. James se tedy stává zlodějem těl, a nejenže je od té doby neustále jednou nohou ve vězení, ale navíc se spolu s Nyem a jeho lidmi ocitne uprostřed války zlodějských gangů, které se neštítí ani chladnokrevné vraždy.

Love means sacrifice.
And that's what I've done: given everything to keep those I care about safe.
Now, I'm back where it all began, trapped with the architect of my nightmares. And this time, I know he won't stop until he breaks me.
But my wolves won't stop either. They'll do anything to bring me home and end the one who has me in his sights.
Only there are more monsters and enemies than we ever could've imagined, and when new secrets are revealed, it will take everything we have to defeat them…
Cool Machine
1981. New York City is beginning to emerge from financial ruin and decline, energized by rampant real estate development and a Wall Street unchained by Reagan-era predatory capitalism. Up in Harlem, successful business owner/master fence Ray Carney has just been named Sterling Furniture's Dealer of the Month. When the banks won't give his beloved wife, Elizabeth, a loan for her new travel agency, however, Carney gambles on one last heist, and finds himself entangled with a legendary criminal mastermind.
1983. To some, Carney's friend and partner in crime Pepper is a stone-cold sociopath. To others, a top thief with questionable people skills. Either way, he's feeling his age in his troubled gut and his aching bones. When he takes on a bodyguard gig as a favor to Elizabeth, he's plunged into the alien territory of the East Village art and club scene. Luckily for him, whether you're uptown or down, everyone speaks the same language of violence - Pepper is a native speaker.
1986. Carney has always been haunted by his inability to save his cousin Freddie. Now, twenty years after Freddie's death, he has a chance to rescue Freddie's son from the violent forces of the city. But coming out of retirement and teaming up with Pepper again will mean risking the safety and security he's spent decades building for his family, with only one shot to get it right.
With his usual pitch-perfect prose, Whitehead paints a portrait of a city in transition, where shimmering skyscrapers rise to the heavens as displaced people huddle in abandoned tunnels below. In a dazzling display of protean imagination, Cool Machine roves all over the city, from Windows on the World to Sugar Hill, to show that in New York, and in the lives of Whitehead's vivid characters, it's what's below the surface that reveals the truth.

Miközben a társadalom tetején állók a hatalomért marakodnak, az elnyomott alsó osztály kezd magához térni a kábaságból, egyre többet kérdez, és egyre inkább helyzete és ereje tudatára ébred.

The sign under him reads "This Is The Place." Over a hundred miles away in Utah, across the salt flats, stands the statue of Brigham Young, atop his monument, proclaiming the same thing, "This Is The Place."This Is The Place is a novel of love, perhaps doomed, told by an endearing misanthrope who may be delusional, but who has managed to coalesce his manias into an alternative understanding that lies somewhere between Wendover Will''s depravity and Brigham Young''s morality:"The dispute between Will and Brigham is not for me to settle, nor would I want it settled. The words hang over the salt flats, the most forsaken stretch of earth, a terrifying expanse of sheer space, white, like another planet, hard and smooth where nothing can live. This all sounds so grim! I''ve known joy and I''ll know it again. It''s just that it takes work to get up the words to talk about love."His love leads him to do a terrible thing, and he tells this story to justify himself. His words, seductive and convincing, draw the reader into a world where the supernatural takes on new meaning. It is a haunting journey to the extreme realities of Las Vegas and Salt Lake City and many places in between. Above all, it is an odyssey to the depths of love.
