Locked in together the real motives, nature and resentment of her guests begin to emerge. Mel learns how little the Greenways are liked by the locals. She is forced to hide her increasingly debilitating illness from them, even as they surround her like a pack of feral wolves. A short flashback hints at the cause of Mel’s war induced trauma. As the truth comes to light, and a shock reveal brings Mel face to face with the culprit, she realises there are more enemies than friends in Avonby’s close-knit community, and there are those willing to do anything to get revenge – even commit murder.

Phantom At The Feast
Police stations are outdated, and AI’s make more efficient detectives, or so says a UK Home Office determined to make cuts. When the sole witness in a trafficking case is discovered brutally murdered, a brass horseshoe forced between his teeth, Detective Sergeant Rex King is summoned back to London and into a labyrinth of memory, music, and political unrest. From The Clash’s ragged 1985 busking tour to the fractured legacy of the anti-nuclear movement, Rex follows threads that tug uncomfortably at his own history – echoes he can’t quite place, shadows that refuse to settle. When Rex’s boss, DCI 'Lollo' Lawrence, suddenly disappears, and long-buried papers from the Miners’ Strike surface, he must work alongside a sharp young detective, a seasoned former soul boy, and the National Crime Agency’s unsettlingly brilliant new AI. Yet the deeper he travels, the more he finds the investigation folding back on him: professional loyalties strained, personal relationships tested, and accusations from his undercover past threatening to unmake him. Two murders, one 'misper' and a force under fire – has former ‘spycop’ DS Rex King finally met his match?

Using the time away from the office to consider his future, and how this will impact on his family life, Tom is invited to attend a school reunion which he reluctantly agrees to.

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.

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.
