No Problem
A Scottish legal thriller of a murder trial, political corruption, cryptocurrency crime, and a defence strategy that looks too neat to trust. No defence? No problem. Robbie Munro has problems. A local thug is on trial for murder. A disgraced Government Minister turns up dead. Somewhere in the middle of it all sits a missing stash of cryptocurrency that’s suddenly very important to the wrong people. With his wife away on business, Robbie’s holding the fort at home, running the firm, and trying to keep everything from slipping through his fingers. Then his new recruit offers a solution. A clean, clever defence that ties everything together. Robbie doesn’t believe in neat answers. Not when the evidence is messy, the stakes are rising, and too many people are standing to gain. Because if this strategy works, it changes everything. And if it doesn’t, it won’t just be the case that collapses. No Problem is Book 14 in the Robbie Munro Legal Thriller series. Perfect for readers who love John Grisham, Scott Turow, and Michael Connelly. __________________________________________________________________Praise for the Best Defence Series: ?

Class Clown
America’s most beloved wiseass finally tells his life story with all the humor you’d expect from a man who made a career out of making fun of pretty much everything. How does the son of a Presbyterian minister wind up winning a Pulitzer Prize for writing a wildly inaccurate newspaper column read by millions of people? In Class Clown, Dave Barry takes us on a hilarious ride, starting with a childhood largely spent throwing rocks for entertainment—there was no internet—and preparing for nuclear war by hiding under a classroom desk. After literally getting elected class clown in high school, he went to college, where, as an English major, he read snippets of great literature when he was not busy playing in a rock band (it was the sixties). He began his journalism career at a small-town Pennsylvania newspaper where he learned the most important rule of local journalism: never confuse a goose with a duck. His journey then took a detour into the business world, where as a writing consultant he spent years trying, with limited success, to get corporate folks to, for God’s sake, get the point. Somehow from there he wound up as a humor columnist for The Miami Herald, where his boss was a wild man who encouraged him to write about anything that struck him as amusing and to never worry about alienating anyone. His columns were not popular with everyone: He managed to alienate a vast army of Neil Diamond fans, and the entire state of Indiana. But he also developed a loyal following of readers who alerted him to the threat of exploding toilets, not to mention the fire hazards posed by strawberry pop-tarts and Rollerblade Barbie, which he demonstrated to the nation on the David Letterman show. He led his readers on a crusade against telemarketers that ultimately caused the national telemarketers association to stop answering its own phones because it was getting—irony alert—too many unwanted calls. He has also run for president multiple times, although so far without success. He became a book author and joined a literary rock band, which was not good at playing music but did once perform with Bruce Springsteen, who sang backup to Dave. As for his literary merits, Dave writes: “I’ll never have the critical acclaim of, say, Marcel Proust. But was Marcel Proust ever on Carson? Did he ever steal a hotel sign for Oprah?” Class Clown isn’t just a memoir; it’s a vibrant celebration of a life rich with humor, absurdity, joy, and sadness. Dave says the most important wisdom imparted by his Midwestern parents was never to take anything too seriously. This laughter-filled book is proof that he learned that lesson well.

Houdini of the Sea
Today, Charles Lightoller is known primarily as the most senior officer to survive the sinking of Titanic, but that was just one chapter in his remarkable story. To avoid the cotton mills of his native Lancashire town, a 13-year-old Lightoller joined the crew of a four-masted sailing ship, and he would remain at sea on various ships until 1920. During his thirty-year maritime career and beyond, he would survive four shipwrecks, a Zeppelin bombing, a duel with a U-boat and a perilous motor-yacht mission to Dunkirk, ultimately emerging as a hero of both world wars.Compiled using extensive research, including previously unseen family information, Houdini of the Sea is the extraordinary tale of a man who escaped death many times over.
Z budúcej pozostalosti
Výber textov tejto knižky je žánrovo i tematicky rozmanitý, jednu skupinu tvoria príhovory, ktoré odzneli na viac alebo menej oficiálnych fórach, svoj priestor dostali predslovy k výtvarnému katalógu či k ročenke galérie, a ďalej sú tam texty, ktorými autor prispel do kolektívnych publikácií alebo do príležitostných tlačovín. Úplnú verejnú premiéru má napríklad reportáž z dovolenky, či neskoro juvenilná veršovačka, ako aj aforizmy, doteraz desaťročia skryté na dne povestného šuflíka. Osobitnú skupinu tvoria potom tri texty označené formulkou „v obrátenom garde“, ide teda o rozhovory, kde Balogh nebol pýtajúcim sa, ale respondentom. Keďže teda predkladané texty nevyšli (až na jednu výnimku) v autorových bývalých domovských novinách SME a Denník N, zdalo sa mu vhodné nenechať ich kdekade roztratené, ale sústrediť ich do tohto dielka. Túto žánrovú i tematickú rozmanitosť zvýrazňuje aj časový oblúk niekoľkých desaťročí, počas ktorých jednotlivé texty vznikali.

Vlčí kráľ
Zakázaná príťažlivosť, krvavá vojna a vlčí kráľ, ktorému nemožno odolať.
Princezná Aurora nikdy netúžila po korune ani po politickom sobáši. Túžila po slobode.
V predvečer svadby však urobí rozhodnutie, ktoré zmení osud celého kráľovstva – zachráni mladého vlkolaka odsúdeného na smrť v aréne, kde sa ľudia zabávajú krvavými zápasmi zajatých vlkov. Tým na seba upriami pozornosť samotného alfu, obávaného vodcu svorky, ktorý ju ešte v tú noc unesie.
Aurora sa ocitá v drsných severných krajoch medzi vlkolakmi, ktorých ju od detstva učili nenávidieť. Znepriatelené svorky sa spájajú a vojna medzi ľuďmi a vlkmi je na spadnutie. Alfa je presvedčený, že princezná je kľúčom k víťazstvu.
Lenže čím viac času spolu trávia, tým ťažšie je predstierať, že sú nepriatelia. Kým sa na oboch stranách bojiska schyľuje ku krvavému stretu, medzi princeznou a vlčím kráľom sa rodí zakázaná príťažlivosť.
Vlčí kráľ je prvá časť série, ktorá pobláznila BookTok – temná romantasy plná napätia a vášne pre fanúšikov vlkolakov (v kiltoch), silných hrdiniek a príbehov, kde hranica medzi nenávisťou a túžbou je tenšia než ostrie meča.

Stratená polovica
Dve ženy zmizli bez stopy. Polícia je bezradná, ich sestry sa však odmietajú vzdať.
Nicole Monroeová žije už sedem rokov v tieni jedinej noci – noci, keď jej staršia sestra Kasey zmizla bez stopy. Polícia prípad po čase odložila, no Nic sa s tým nedokáže zmieriť a plnohodnotne žiť. Uviazla v rodnom meste aj vo vlastnom živote, poznačená stratou, ktorú nikto nedokázal vysvetliť. Jedinou stopou v Kaseyinom prípade bola Jules Connorová, ďalšia mladá žena z okresu, ktorá zmizla rovnakým spôsobom o dva týždne skôr.
Nic si neželá nič iné, než pohnúť sa ďalej. Keď jej však do života vstúpi Julesina sestra Jenna, ponúkne jej niečo, čo už dlho necítila – nádej. Rozpúta sa strhujúci príbeh dvoch žien, ktoré urobia čokoľvek, aby našli svoje stratené polovice, aj keby to znamenalo zničiť všetko, čo doteraz poznali. Pátranie ich zavedie do temných zákutí malomesta aj vlastnej minulosti a odhalí, že niektoré tajomstvá majú cenu, ktorú možno nebudú pripravené zaplatiť.
Stratená polovica je mrazivý, emocionálne silný triler o sesterstve, vine a posadnutosti pravdou od Ashley Flowersovej, moderátorky jedného z celosvetovo najpočúvanejších true crime podcastov Crime Junkie.
Oheň a krv (špeciálne vydanie)
300 rokov pred HROU O TRÓNY vládli v západnej zemi draci
Vzrušujúce dejiny Targaryenovcov ožívajú v majstrovskom spracovaní z pera autora Piesne ľadu a ohňa, ságy, ktorá sa stala predlohou seriálu Hra o tróny z produkcie HBO.
Toto je prvý zväzok úplných dvojzväzkových dejín rodu Targaryenovcov v Západnej zemi a prináša oheň i besnenie, aké fanúšikovia očakávajú od medzinárodne úspešného autora Georgea R. R. Martina.
Stáročia pred udalosťami opísanými v Hre o tróny sa Targaryenovci, jediný rod dračích pánov, ktorý prežil Skazu Valýrie, usadili na Dračom kameni. Dejiny Ohňa a krvi sa začínajú príbehom legendárneho Aegona Dobyvateľa, ktorý dal zhotoviť kultový Železný trón, a pokračujú rozprávaním o nasledujúcich pokoleniach Targaryenovcov, ktoré sa snažili udržať si ho, až po občiansku vojnu, ktorá takmer rozoštvala ich dynastiu.
Čo sa skutočne stalo počas Tanca drakov? Prečo bola cesta do Valýrie po Skaze smrteľne nebezpečná? Aké hrozné zločiny spáchal Maegor Krutý? Ako to vyzeralo v Západnej zemi, keď oblohe kraľovali draky? To je len zopár otázok, ktoré zodpovie táto vyčerpávajúca kronika, spísaná učeným majstrom z Citadely.
Oheň a krv prináša strhujúcu hru o tróny v rozsahu a veľkoleposti Gibbonových Dejín úpadku a zániku Rímskej ríše a ponúka čitateľom nový pohľad na dynamickú, občas krvavú, no vždy fascinujúcu históriu Západnej zeme.
