The Subtle Pleasures of Indiscretion
The latest book in the beloved Isabel Dalhousie seriesThe surface of Isabel Dalhousie's life is usually a tranquil one. From her house in Edinburgh she edits a philosophical journal. In the background is her long-time housekeeper, Grace, her handsome husband, Jamie, and her two small boys, Charlie and Magnus. Outside, under the cover of the rhododendron bushes, lives Brother Fox, who, with his dark, vulpine eyes, takes a great interest in what is happening around him. And yet, in the middle of this rather idyllic setting, things are happening. Jamie, a bassoonist, has been invited to play in a prestigious London concert and to make a recording for a prominent classical label. This invitation, though, comes from a scheming woman who finds him particularly charming. Alarm bells ring. And they ring too when a wily philosopher, Christopher Dove, reveals a plot to topple Professor Robert Lettuce, a member of Isabel's editorial board. Could Isabel's life get more complicated? Yes. A woman she knew many years ago at school approaches her with a request for help. She has made an awkward discovery as a result of taking a DNA test. Can Isabel prevent the information obtained from this test from causing real harm to a whole family? If anybody can do that, it is Isabel Dalhousie. And she does that with tact and, most importantly, the grace that we have come to know as her hallmark quality.

A nyári háború
A Rengeteg, az Ezüstfonás és a Solomancia-trilógia szerzőjének új kisregényében egy fiatal boszorkány próbálja visszafordítani az átkot, amellyel a fivérét sújtotta. Celia varázsereje azon a napon ébredt fel, amikor bátyja, Argent, elhagyta az otthonukat.
A lány dühében és csalódottságában megátkozta a bátyját, hogy szeretet nélkül élje le életét, nem is sejtve, hogy gyerekes dühkitörését mágia teszi végzetessé. Miközben Argent szerelem helyett dicsőséget és hírnevet hajszolva kóborol a háború dúlta világban, Celia mindent megtesz, hogy megtörje az átkot, amivel ő maga sújtotta a bátyját. Már fiatal nővé cseperedve szerez tudomást a népe és a halhatatlan nyárszerzetek közti időtlen idők óta tartó harc valódi okáról, és először csillan fel a reménysugár: talán a másik fivére segítségével felszabadíthatja az idősebb bátyját az átok alól, és egyúttal gyógyulást hozhat a nyári háború által kettészakított világnak.

ACE - The Times & Style of Tennis
A look at the intersection of tennis and fashion, capturing the sport’s most iconic, stylish, and transformative moments, through the expert lens of fashion insider and author of CBK: Carolyn Bessette Kennedy: A Life in Fashion, Sunita Kumar Nair
From starch whites at Wimbledon to bold statement pieces on and off the court, the history of tennis has long been intertwined with fashion. In this thoughtfully curated celebration of the sport, bestselling author Sunita Kumar Nair explores the sport’s most stylish moments, legendary players, and the designers who have shaped its aesthetic. With archival photography, exclusive interviews, and insider commentary, this book traces the evolution of tennis style—from the traditional ensembles of early champions to the revolutionary looks of Serena Williams, Roger Federer, and beyond.

Rule of Lies
An American lawyer's brilliant, propulsive story of witnessing and playing a part in the transformation of Russia under Yeltsin and Putin. A true tale of fascinating personalities, criminal intrigue, harrowing situations, audacious actions and international politics that combines Bill Browder's Red Notice with Michael Lewis's Liar's Poker.
Raised by his father, a multimillionaire conman and crack addict who owned Manhattan's most expensive brothel, twenty-four-year-old Jamison R. Firestone decided to change the channel. He graduated from law school in 1991 and sought his fortune in Gorbachev's USSR, establishing Russia's first independent foreign law firm.
Out of the frying pan and into the fire, Jamison lived in the maelstrom that was Russia, defending himself and his clients from mafia attacks, dealing with corrupt police officers, having his law office raided by armed commandos, and once having to bug the offices of the Russian police.
Jamison was at the centre of some of Russia's most important events. He employed Sergei Magnitsky who was murdered for uncovering the largest tax theft in Russian history and teamed up with Bill Browder and Alexei Navalny to expose his killers. Along the way he inadvertently taught Navalny to make videos exposing corruption and started a war with the Russian government over passage of the Magnitsky Acts which threatened to sanction Russia's most powerful people.
A real-life story that reads like a spy novel, Rule of Lies goes deep inside contemporary Russia and events that have reshaped the globe. Darkly comic, sometimes horrifying and deeply moving, it is a chilling warning of what can happen when a nascent democracy succumbs to one man's corrupt iron rule, becoming not only an authoritarian nation but a profoundly criminal one-a true mafia state.
