Scotland Vol. 1: Episode 1
After her exhausting mission in Amazonia, Kathy Austin is off to Scotland on holiday. She intends to take possession of a house her great-aunt bequeathed her. Unfortunately, she finds the house ruined, burned down a few weeks earlier - and it also appears that the police find the circumstances of the old lady's death a tad ... strange. While the locals blame the ghosts and goblins that haunt the moors, Kathy soon discovers signs that point to a very different explanation: 'crop circles' of ... alien origin?!
I'm Still Here: My 90 Years
'I have 90 years to share: 90 years of joy and sorrow, triumph and disaster, love and loss, laughter and tears; 90 years of watching the world change around me beyond my wildest imagination. Ninety years and still counting...'Amanda Barrie, the iconic Cleo in Carry on Cleo and much-loved Alma in Coronation Street, was born in 1935, above her grandfather's tailor's shop in Ashton Under Lyne, during a ferocious thunderstorm. And ever since her journey through life has been a stormy one. This book will tell the whole story for the first time, from her expulsion from two schools and running away from home aged 13 to be a Soho showgirl, to rising from the chorus to star in the West End, to Carry On Cabby and Carry On Cleo, to Corrie, Bad Girls and more. Amanda has become something of a national treasure, entertaining us all, whilst not hesitating to speak up for herself and others on national television, including on celebrity editions of Hell's Kitchen and Big Brother. Having performed in her teenage years alongside fellow national icon Barbara Windsor, Amanda's life has in many ways followed a similar trajectory to become a huge household name. Amanda will pay particular attention to the whole new life she has led since she left Coronation Street in 2001. Packed with anecdotes and memories of her nine decades on stage and screen, she will share the moments that came to define her life. She will fully explore her struggle to come to terms with who she was, relating in painful detail the traumas faced by a young gay woman in the 1950s and early 60s. She will explain why she kept that side of her a secret for most of her adult life, and how she feared that she would lose her job and her home if the truth became known. For the first time, she will tell the full story of how she met her wife, novelist Hilary Bonner, fell in love, overcame all manner of difficulties, and built a new life together.

Blood is thicker than water... and runs just as freely... When the body of a man is discovered face down one morning in the swimming pool of his upmarket family home, the team wonder if it is the result of a tragic accident or serious foul play. DI Tom Janssen is currently suspended pending the outcome of the events at the close of his previous case. 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. Coming face to face with people he hasn't seen in years leads to more than a reunion of old friendships. Some people find it hard to let go of the past while others foster long-held grudges. It isn't long before Tom finds old feuds rekindled and scores that aim to be settled... one way or another. Finding himself at the centre of a murder inquiry - only this time as a witness rather than an investigator - can he steer clear of the case or will temptation, and a search for the truth, be too much for him to ignore.

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.

Amikor az időutazó Comte St. Germain megtudja, hogy Joan Párizsban tartózkodik, és hogy a lány kapcsolatban áll Claire Fraserrel – azaz La Dame Blanche-sal –, már nem csupán Joan élete forog kockán, hanem a lelke is, Murray pedig kénytelen a megmentésére sietni, hiszen a lány akaratlanul is rabul ejtette a szívét.

The Beautiful Indifference
''Fierce and sensuous.'' Guardian ''Exquisitely crafted.'' Sunday Telegraph ''Astonishing . . . A writer of rare vision and talent.'' Sunday Times From the speed and heat of summer London, to the heathered fells and lowlands of Cumbria with their history of smouldering violence, to an eerily still lake in the Finnish wilderness, Sarah Hall evokes landscapes with extraordinary precision and grace. The characters within these territories are real-life survivors, but whether it''s a frustrated housewife seeking extreme experience or a young woman contemplating the death of her lover, dark devices and desires rise to the surface. And the human body, too - flawed, visceral, and full of emotional conflict - provides a sensuous frame for each unfolding drama.Uniquely disturbing and deeply erotic, this collection confirms Sarah Hall as one of the greatest writers of her generation.
