Mesto živých
Oceňovaný taliansky autor Nicola Lagioia nás vedie temnými ulicami Večného mesta až k nenápadnému bytu na predmestí, kde 4. marca 2016 zavraždili 23-ročného Lucu Varaniho. Rozpráva o zločine bez motívu, pripomínajúcom rituálnu vraždu či obetu. Vo svojom true crime románe skúma koncept zla, zodpovednosti a viny.
Páchateľmi sú dvaja mladíci z dobrých rodín, ktorí si svoj nevysvetliteľný čin ešte pred pár dňami nedokázali ani predstaviť. Správa okamžite upúta pozornosť verejnosti a hlboko šokuje celé Taliansko.
Nicola Lagioia rozpletá príbeh od samého začiatku: robí rozhovory s hlavnými aktérmi, zbiera svedectvá, stretáva sa s rodičmi obete, korešponduje si s jedným z dvoch vinníkov. Vydať sa po stopách zločinu znamená aj ponoriť sa do rímskej noci, objavovať mesto, v ktorom sa nedá žiť, a predsa prekypuje životom. Mesto zaplavené potkanmi, zmietané korupciou a drogami, no zároveň schopné dať obyvateľom pocit slobody ako žiadne iné na svete.
Všetci sa bojíme, že sa staneme obeťami. Žijeme v nočnej more, že nás okradnú, podvedú, napadnú alebo pošliapu. Modlíme sa, aby sme na svojej ceste nestretli vraha. Ale akú emocionálnu prekážku musíme prekonať, aby sme si dokázali predstaviť, že jedného dňa budeme my sami v koži páchateľa?
Let lastovičky
Druhý prípad Sorena Marhaugeho od oceňovanej dánskej autorky.
Keď nájdu profesora Kristiana Storma obeseného v jeho kancelárii, polícia chce prípad uzavrieť ako samovraždu. Jeho doktorandka Marie Skov však oficiálnej verzii odmieta uveriť. Uznávaný profesor sa práve vrátil z Afriky, kde skúmal účinnosť vakcín, a krátko pred smrťou naznačoval, že narazil na znepokojivé skutočnosti.
Komisár Soren Marhauge odhaľuje nezrovnalosti vo výskumných údajoch, falšovanie výsledkov, podozrivé úmrtia aj stopy vedúce k mocenským záujmom na najvyššej úrovni. Pri vyšetrovaní sa neraz pohybuje na hrane svojich právomocí.
Let lastovičky, voľné pokračovanie detektívky Krvavé pierko, je inteligentnou vedeckou krimi a zároveň románom o medziľudských vzťahoch, ktorý získal dánsku cenu Readers’ Book Award.
Deviant King - Royal Elite 1
From New York Times Bestseller and BookTok sensation Rina Kent comes the first generation of the thrilling Legacy of Gods series.
The villain isn't supposed to be king.
I have a simple plan.
Finish Royal Elite School and secure a place at my dream university.
But one glance from the school's king blows my strategy up in smoke.
One glance and he suffocates my air.
Because everything about Aiden King is black.
Black mind. Black heart. Black soul.
I should've remained quiet and endured the time I have left.
I didn't.
I made the irrevocable mistake of provoking the king on his throne.
And now, I'll pay the price.
Being hated by Aiden King is dangerous.
But being wanted by him is lethal.
Případ Cassandra
Cassandra Granová je nalezena zavražděna ve svém luxusním bytě. Pachatel je rychle odhalen a odsouzen. O rok později ale na bývalého kriminalistu Antona Brekkeho čeká před domem sestra domnělého pachatele, která tvrdí, že byl její bratr nevinný. Tak jak to tedy bylo? Na bratra přece ukazovaly všechny indicie. Že by policie tehdy neodvedla pořádnou práci?
Anton se ve společnosti podcastera Kristiana Bolstada pustí do pátrání na vlastní pěst – a stopy vedou nejen hluboko do minulosti, ale také mimo Oslo. Ukazuje se, že zavražděná Cassandra nejspíš nebyla tak nevinná, jak se původně zdálo, a že pravý pachatel má na svědomí i smrt dalších lidí. Policistka, jejíž svědectví možná tehdy přispělo k odsouzení nesprávného muže, má zřejmě také své vlastní záměry. A v neposlední řadě se zajímá o Antona…
Tíha skrytých slov
Uběhly tři měsíce od osudného večera na podlaze v koupelně – od chvíle, kdy Lily našla svou starší sestru s žiletkou u zápěstí. Od té doby se Lily, kvůli sobě i své rodině, zoufale snaží navázat na svůj předchozí život spořádané studentky, dcery i sestry.

Na Ridgelinskou střední školu přichází Micah, nový student s nelehkou minulostí. Absolvoval pobyt v léčebně spolu s Alicí a nyní se zdá odhodlaný pomoct Lily vypořádat se nejen s Alicinou zkušeností, ale také s její vlastní. I Lily má totiž svá tajemství. Kompulzivní záchvaty, kterých se sama nedokáže zbavit, a hlavu zahlcenou tíživými myšlenkami.
Když se Lily s Micahem pustí do školního projektu a společně hledají umělecké náměty i na těch nejneobvyklejších místech, uvědomí si, že v sobě dlouho dusila slova, která se teď derou na povrch.

Devil
From USA Today bestselling author Sierra Simone comes an ALL-NEW standalone romance in the Priest universe.
***
Birdie Cooper has nothing left.
Just one moment of weakness seven years ago?and she lost her job, her church, her only friend. Now she's working nights at a gas station to scrape together a living and a way to care for her sister, completely alone and separated even from the art that gave her life meaning.
Ryan Bell has never forgotten his first obsession.
He's been trying to find the tremblingly shy lecturer from his senior year of college after she abruptly disappeared after their first and only kiss. So when he comes upon a statue of Lucifer carved in Ryan's own likeness, two things become starkly apparent.
One: he knows how to find her now. And two: he's been haunting Birdie Cooper's memory as much as she's been haunting his.
Ryan can't offer love?or even an apology?but he can offer her a bargain, one crafted first and foremost to free him from his punishing obsession with her. If Birdie agrees to be his in every way for a single year, then he'll pay for her sister's care for as long as she's alive. And what does Birdie have left to lose anyway? The forbidden fruit is her only chance at salvation.
Unfortunately for Birdie, she might just be the only chance for his...
Step back into the intoxicating Priest universe with Devil: a brand-new, standalone dark romance from the inimitable Sierra Simone.

Fed Up
'Wise, witty, and full of unexpected insights - a perfect book for anyone who cares about living well' Bill Bryson
Why is it so hard to decide what to eat? We are bombarded with conflicting advice on weight and health, fad diets and food pyramids. No wonder so many of us feel confused and guilty.
In Fed Up, Daniel Lieberman tackles this confusion head on with his trademark blend of lively storytelling and myth-busting science. Drawing on evolutionary biology, anthropology and physiology, he explains how humans first evolved to eat; how fire, farming and industrialization transformed our diets; and what that history combined with rigorous medical science can - and cannot - tell us about what to eat today to stay healthy and manage our weight. In each chapter, Lieberman explores what different diets - from Paleo to veganism to intermittent fasting - tell us about nutrition and health, even putting these diets to the test himself. His conclusion is liberating: there is no optimal diet. What matters instead is variety, moderation and finding out what works for you.
Clear-eyed, humane and always entertaining, Fed Up gives us the tools to make wiser, kinder choices about what we eat.

Star Wars: Cloak Of Deception
From New York Times bestselling author James Luceno comes a Star Wars adventure that reveals the action and intrigue unfolding directly before Episode I: The Phantom Menace.
Mired in greed and corruption, tangled in bureaucracy, the Galactic Republic is crumbling. In the outlying systems, where the Trade Federation maintains a stranglehold on shipping routes, tensions are boiling over?while back in the comfort of Coruscant, the hub of civilized space and seat of the Republic government, few senators seem inclined to investigate the problem. And those who suspect Supreme Chancellor Valorum of having a hand in the machinations are baffled?especially when Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi foil an assassination attempt on the Chancellor.
With the crisis escalating, Valorum calls for an emergency trade summit. As humans and aliens gather, conspiracies sealed with large sums of money run rampant, and no one is entirely above suspicion. But the greatest threat of all remains unknown to everyone except three members of the Trade Federation who have entered into a shadowy alliance with a dark overlord. While the trio will be content with more money and fewer problems, Darth Sidious has grander, far more terrifying plans.
It is a time that tests the mettle of all those who strive to hold the Republic together?none more so than the Jedi Knights, who have long been the galaxy's best hope for preserving peace and justice. Yet despite their most valiant efforts, the meeting will explode into fiery chaos beyond everyone's worst fears . . .
Star Wars: Labyrinth of Evil
The war that erupted in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones is nearing its boiling point, as the dauntless Separatist forces continue their assault on the teetering Republic – and the diabolical triumvirate of Count Dooku, General Grievous, and their Master, Darth Sidious, fine-tune their strategy for conquest. In Episode III Revenge of the Sith the fates of key players on both sides of the conflict will be sealed. But first, crucial events that pave the way to that time of reckoning unfold in a labyrinth of evil...
Capturing Trade Federation Viceroy–and Separatist Councilmember – Nute Gunray is the mission that brings Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, with a squad of clones in tow, to Neimoidia. But the treacherous ally of the Sith proves as slippery as ever, evading his Jedi pursuers even as they narrowly avoid deadly disaster. Still, their daring efforts yield an unexpected prize: a unique holotransceiver that bears intelligence capable of leading the Republic forces to their ultimate quarry, the ever-elusive Darth Sidious.
Swiftly taking up the chase, Anakin and Obi-Wan follow clues from the droid factories of Charros IV to the far-flung worlds of the Outer Rim... every step bringing them closer to pinpointing the location of the Sith Lord–whom they suspect has been manipulating every aspect of the Separatist rebellion. Yet somehow, in the escalating galaxy-wide chess game of strikes, counterstrikes, ambushes, sabotage, and retaliations, Sidious stays constantly one move ahead.
Then the trail takes a shocking turn. For Sidious and his minions have set in motion a ruthlessly orchestrated campaign to divide and overwhelm the Jedi forces – and bring the Republic to its knees.
Nest of Tongues
A lyrical, fantastical horror about vampires from the Philippines . . . and a hunter on their tail.
As Filipino vampires known as manananggal, Lily and her brother Caleb understand the value of a secret. After all, to hide is to survive. To lie is to live. They'd never harm another person-but people only believe their worst fears around creatures of myth. So, the siblings stay quiet. They follow their community's rules.
Until a monster hunter turns up and kills a fellow manananggal anyway.
Until Caleb is marked as the hunter's next prey.
Suddenly, he and Lily realize there's always been more at stake than the lives of their people. Because when doing everything "right" is still a death sentence, what can they take as truth? As the hunter nears, the siblings must decide if they'll be driven from the only home they've ever known . . . or fight to protect a community that may already be lost.
Two siblings fight to protect their secrets, their community, and most of all, each other, in this evocative novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Patron Saints of Nothing.

As the army progresses through the continent, Pollyanna is surprised to find the other knights slowly beginning to accept her.

Even more unexpected is Luxos’s increasing fondness for his stoic knight. The knights have never seen their king grow so close to someone – in fact, the two get along so well that rumors start to fly. Is Luxos’s admiration strictly for Pollyanna’s talent, or could the gossip have some truth to it?

Zažehnutí
Můj nový soused je hasič – a neskutečně sexy svobodný táta –, ale přísahám, že jsem ten detektor kouře nespustila naschvál. (A fakt jsem se chtěla propadnout hanbou, když mi přispěchal na pomoc a spatřil mě úplně nahou.)
Nic se nestalo, samozřejmě že ne – protože já, Winnie MacAllisterová, závislačka na lásce a majitelka neustále zlomeného srdce, jsem přísahala, že se na celý rok vzdám mužů. Dokonce i ochranitelských mužů s ostře řezanými čelistmi, mohutnými bicepsy a temnýma hnědýma očima, z nichž se mi zrychluje tep. Dokonce i bývalých členů SEALs se širokými hrudníky a silnými pažemi, ze kterých mi mravenčí kůže. Dokonce i úchvatných nabručených chlápků, kteří mají plné ruce práce s výchovou dvou rozkošných dcerušek a tvrdí, že nevěří na lásku.
Byla jsem odhodlaná slib dodržet, dokud mě Dex jednou večer nepolíbil a nedonutil mě odhodit všechny zábrany. (A taky spodní prádlo.)
Říká, že není něžný, a má pravdu. Říká, že bych měla přijmout práci snů, kterou mi nabídli v jiném státě, a má pravdu. Říká, že je na mě moc starý a nemůže být takovým mužem, jakého si zasloužím.
A v tom se mýlí.
Možná nás od sebe dělí dvanáct let, ale požár, který mezi námi vzplane, nikdy nepohasne.
Jak bych ho mohla přesvědčit, aby se mnou dal šanci šťastnému konci?
Want Me, Take Me, Haunt Me, Make Me
A haunting paranormal story takes a turn for the dark and spicy in this chilling horror romance by debut author Isabel Crowley.
Hazel Lewis has a serious problem. The guy who hired her to conduct a séance before he died turned out to be a serial killer with a demonic contract, and the séance itself was a trap. Hazel escaped with her life, but not as she knew it: the bite of a demon is spreading through her body, letting the supernatural bleed into the world around her, and the now-dead serial killer is waiting to take over her body if she dies.
Hoping to contain the damage, Hazel moves to a small house in a remote location. She figures she'll stay on her own until she gets a handle on her new dark reality, but she soon finds out that she's not alone. There's the reporter demanding answers, the friendly neighbour with chemistry she doesn't need and problems he can't talk about…and the mysterious face she sees beyond her window, watching her every night with glowing red eyes.
Making her hunger.
Hazel knew a little bit about the world beyond the physical. Now she's learning how much she doesn't know, including who she can trust...and who she can become if she trusts herself enough to give in to the shadows stalking her dreams.
Haunting, dark and steeped in a supernatural atmosphere, this visceral paranormal romance is a must-read for fans of evocative horror and swoon-worthy romance.

Namiesto toho, aby sa so svojím smútkom vyrovnal, urobí zo svojho srdca nepreniknuteľnú pevnosť. Pomaly mu dochádza, že je načase, aby si najal niekoho, kto mu pomôže so starostlivosťou o dcéru, kým sa situácia ešte nezhorší. Camille Aubertová si nehľadala novú prácu. Chcela len vrátiť ľúbostný list, ktorý našla zabudnutý medzi stránkami jednej knihy. Keď ju však omylom považujú za jednu z uchádzačiek, čoskoro sa z nej stane opatrovateľka Jackovej dcéry a niečo v jej vnútri jej našepkáva, že je presne tam, kde by mala byť. Krátko po príchode objaví Camille v byte podivnú miestnosť, ktorá okamžite vzbudí jej zvedavosť a poodhalí Jackovu tajomnú a temnú stránku, ktorú by zúfalo túžila spoznať. Hranice medzi ich profesionálnym a osobným životom sa nebezpečne stierajú a ich vzájomnú príťažlivosť už nie je možné ďalej ignorovať. Tento zlomený muž, ktorý sa so svojím smútkom vyrovnáva pomocou zväzovania, Camille priťahuje, a ona preňho predstavuje výzvu, o ktorej si nikdy nemyslel, že jej bude musieť čeliť. Uväznená medzi rastúcimi citmi k Jackovi a prízrakmi jeho minulosti, stojí Camille pred otázkou. Dokáže láska uzdraviť srdce, ktoré stále smúti, alebo ich vášeň zničí oboch?
