Zkrocení psance
Na psance se dneska prostě nedá spolehnout...
Jsem Willa Scarletová a máma mě učila, abych se nikdy nespoléhala na muže. Příkladem budiž moje tajná mise, jejímž cílem bylo ochránit truhlu plnou drahocenného pokladu před princem Janem. Když mi psanci ze Sherwoodského lesa nepomůžou, jsou všechny mé pečlivě připravené plány v troskách. A za všechno může jeden urostlý, nesnesitelný zbojník, který má na mě spadeno. Muži!
Jsem Malý John, medvědí měňavec, a mohu vás ujistit, že na mně není nic malého. Navíc mám pořádnou dávku tvrdohlavosti a problém s lidmi. Se svým samotářským životem v lese jsem byl navýsost spokojen, dokud se neobjevila Willa Scarletová. Teď chci být od té jízlivé zrzky s přehnaným sebevědomím co nejdál. Čím víc, tím líp.
Společnou máme s Wilou jen jiskřivou chemii, nelítostné nepřátele a odpovědnost za poklad, který je cennější, než kdokoli z nás tuší. Než se nadějeme, jsme na útěku, uprostřed problémů a zamilovaní, i když si to ani jeden z nás nechce přiznat. Nemůžeme se však skrývat věčně a brzo musím učinit těžká rozhodnutí. Mám se řídit srdcem, nebo hlavou? A kde leží má věrnost? U Willy, nebo u měňavců ze Sherwoodského lesa?

Mist and Malice
A small-town PI is drawn into a killer conspiracy in a breathtaking novel of suspense by the New York Times bestselling author of the Anthony Award–nominated These Toxic Things. Private investigator Sonny Rush, the newest resident of Haven, California, knows that this fogbound coastal hamlet is every bit as dangerous as her hometown of Los Angeles. And when teenager and repeat runaway Honor Butler shows up at Sonny’s door with terror in her eyes, Sonny is immediately pulled into a new case that lands close to home. Desperate, hungry, and in need of someone she can trust, Honor tells Sonny a horrifying story about where she’s been—and what she’s been forced to do. Then, hours later, the forest near Sonny’s cottage yields the remains of a missing day laborer, a man whose wife has been searching for answers for months. Soon, coincidence sharpens into conspiracy. As Sonny digs deeper, the threads of these cases twist together into something horrifying: a ruthless network preying on the vulnerable, protected by the very people meant to uphold the law. With every step closer to revealing Haven’s corruption, Sonny risks pulling the lives of her loved ones into the cross fire—and exposing the shadows of her own past. Because in this town, loyalty can be fatal, and survival means deciding who you’re willing to betray.

Sok ördögök
„– Csak egy pillanatra láttam. Pár másodpercig. Egy olyan nyolcvan év körüli nő lehetett, talán öregebb. Derékig érő, hosszú, ősz haja volt és anyaszült meztelenül állt az úttesten. Somlyói felnézett a jegyzetelésből.
– Micsoda?
– Mondtam, hogy hülyének fog nézni. Márpedig teljesen pucéran mászkált ott. Egy sovány, inas asszony volt, a haja így lebegett körülötte – mondta, miközben a levegőt legyezgetve próbálta demonstrálni. Somlyói elismerően bólintott, értékelte az igyekezetet.
– És látta már korábban azt a nőt?
Tamás megrázta fejét.”
„De ki engedheti meg magának, hogy szabadon érezhessen akármit, ha figyelő szemek követik mindenhová? Hogy érezhet szabadon az ember egy kicsi településen? Szabályok kötik az embereket, megszólják azt, akinek a viselkedése nem konform, ezért mélyre szorítjuk dühünket, ami kelepcébe zárva viszont egyre csak rothad és növekszik bennünk. És aztán szemmel verünk, rosszat kívánunk, ütünk, gázolunk, ártunk. Felborítják bennünk az egyensúlyt a sok ördögök, nem látjuk tőlük, hol a határ, s ha nem tudunk mit kezdeni szorító érzelmeinkkel, kiszabadulnak, megtörténik velünk a legrosszabbtól is rosszabb.”
„Mennyire hétköznapi is az indulat elszabadulása, s abból mégis mennyire rendhagyó tragédiák tudnak kibontakozni.”

Lightfall - Fényhullás (Öröklétfölde 1.)
A vér nemcsak táplálék, hanem maga a hatalom.
Évszázadokon át vámpírok uralták a világot, mígnem a Szürkék váratlanul felbukkantak a semmiből, és egyetlen éjszaka alatt kiirtották a népesség felét. A túlélők az utolsó vámpírvárosba, Előfénybe menekültek, ahol egyszerű szabályok szerint élték tovább az életüket. A szegények csak gyenge vért fogyaszthattak. A nemesek a legjobbat kapták. És soha, semmilyen körülmények között nem hagyhatták el a várost.
Sam a palotában szolgál, elege van a szabályokból és az Urakból, akiknek éjjeliedényét súrolja. Amikor a város Elöljáró Urának át meggyilkolják, és Sam rábukkan az ezzel kapcsolatos egyetlen nyomra, megragadja a lehetőséget, hogy zsarolással feljebb kerüljön a társadalmi ranglétrán, és így jobb vérhez jusson. Beáll a Vérszívók csoportjába, ahol lázadó szobalányok szövetkeznek a legkegyetlenebb Urak ellen. Hamarosan szövetséget köt egy varázslóval, akinek éles elméje pótolja mágikus hiányosságait, valamint egy halálos vérfarkas bérgyilkossal és egy grófnővel, aki az egész város titkait ismeri.
Csupán egyetlen gond van. Ami egyszerű gyilkossági nyomozásnak indult, felfedte az uralkodó osztály körében húzódó sűrű összeesküvés hálóját. Samnek ki kell derítenie az igazságot, mielőtt ő maga is áldozattá válik. Ha el tudja kerülni a halált, akkor talán örökké élhet.

Kipurcant kedvencek – Rex Dexter nyomoz: Kísért a narvál
Rex Dexter eszes... Valamint ördögien jóképű. Ám mindezekkel együtt átkozott is: kipurcant állatok bukkannak fel a szobájában, és azt követelik tőle, hogy derítsék ki, mi történhetett velük.
Miután sikeresen megoldott jó néhány, veszélyeztetett állatokat érintő esetet, Rex majdnem biztos benne, hogy megszabadult tőlük. Ám ekkor egy közel egytonnás narvált talál a babzsákfoteljében elterülve. Mert ez a komoly külsejű fickó halott. És emiatt rendkívül morcos.
A hal(áli) ügyek tehát folyamatban vannak. És ha mindez nem lenne elég, Rex anyukájának új, megterhelő munkája lett. Az egyik tanárnője pedig feltehetően egy orosz bérgyilkosszervezet tagja. Eközben a legjobb barátja, Darvish figyelmét egy szerepjáték vonja el. És, minő borzalom, úgy tűnik, Rexnek akadt egy barátnője...

The Conviction Machine
A captivating account of the most corrupt and blood-soaked chapters in Chicago law enforcement historyIn December 1969, the FBI, the Chicago Police Department, and the office of States Attorney, led by rising political star Edward V. Hanrahan, conspired to assassinate Black Panther leader Fred Hampton, and then flagrantly covered up their misconduct. Thirteen years later, Jackie Wilson was tortured by the same police department and wrongfully incarcerated for thirty-six years. Drawing on unique insights from his role as a leading opposition lawyer in both cases, award-winning author Flint Taylor details the vast political corruption uncovered in the Hampton case and the twists and turns of Wilson's forty-year effort to win his freedom. With blistering clarity and righteous indignation, The Conviction Machine shines a penetrating light on the sordid world of prosecutorial misconduct and police violence.

And it may well be.”Enclosed herewith: the hitherto untold story of Mrs. Lovett, Sweeney Todd’s infamous partner in crime—a bloodcurdling correspondence of profound horror and intrigue.

Weaving together fictional storylines and real history, Wiley paints a vivid picture of the unspeakable tragedy and the people who lived through it. Through multiple points of view, Yellow September narrates the fortunes of those in the fever-wracked town. Two brothers, George and Eugene, find themselves far from their Midwestern roots while working for the Army Corps of Engineers.

Meanwhile, Katherine, a farm girl living along the Silver Bayou with her family, who are still grieving the wartime death of her father, faces a difficult choice with consequences that echo throughout her life. Others, like Dr. Dalzell, a pastor and doctor in town, and Eleanor and David, parents fleeing the fever, bring a nuanced perspective to the experiences of those swept up in the outbreak. With epistolary touches throughout, the novel is a testament to the enduring love of family—those we are born with and those we choose—and tells a profound story of duty, devotion, and community.

RHS Wildlife of a Garden
"One of the great heroines of wildlife gardening" Dave Goulson Foreword by Chris Packham First published in 2010 by the RHS, Jennifer Owen's book remains the most complete record of the creatures to be found in an ordinary garden. The groundbreaking research, in which Owen recorded every plant and animal in her suburban Leicester garden, will never be exceeded. This was no wildlife garden - the term barely existed when Owen started recording in 1972. Hers was a standard family garden in suburban Leicester. In this unique long-term study she recorded 2,673 species, from plants to insects, birds to mammals. She discusses diversity, abundance and annual fluctuations and relates these to weather, changes in surrounding land use and other ecological factors. Wildlife she monitored included butterflies, moths, beetles, hoverflies (Owen's specialist area), bees, wasps, ants, dragonflies, sawflies, bugs, spiders, lacewings, grasshoppers, molluscs and earthworms, as well as plants, mammals and birds. She also outlines the natural history of each group. Researchers in ecology, conservation, environmental sciences, environmental horticulture and entomology as well as professionals in urban planning will find this book invaluable. It is also a captivating read for amateur naturalists and anyone with an interest in garden wildlife. Dr Jennifer Owen (1936-2015) was an ecologist and zoologist. It was while working in Africa in the 1960s that she noticed her garden had more wildlife than the neighbouring rainforest, due to its mix of habitats. This prompted her, on return to the UK and a post at Leicester University in 1971, to begin the remarkable study that was to occupy her next 30 years.
