Detektiv Fabian Risk je zpět – a v mistrovské formě! Deset let po událostech příběhu Poslední hřebík tráví Fabian léto na plachetnici u jihošvédských břehů se svou dcerou Matildou. Jedné noci z paluby zpozorují, jak se pevnina náhle ponoří do tmy. Po návratu do Helsingborgu čelí Fabianův tým řadě zdánlivě nevysvětlitelných případů, které následovaly po záhadném výpadku proudu.

Straighten Up, Girls and Boys
This illuminating read bridges education history with contemporary efforts to create inclusive, equitable schools In Straighten Up, Girls and Boys, acclaimed historian and educator Jackie M. Blount exposes the hidden history of how American schools have carefully shaped and policed gender and sexuality—affecting every student and educator, past and present. With clarity and compassion, she invites readers not only to understand these forces, but to take action for positive change in their own school communities. Drawing on centuries of school design, hiring practices, and classroom curriculum, Blount uncovers how seemingly neutral decisions—from the layout of restrooms to textbooks and teacher roles—have been used to enforce binary gender norms and rigid expectations around sexuality. She explores the implications for both students and educators, highlighting moments of resistance and progress, but also the persistence of exclusion and harm. Through vivid historical storytelling and fresh analysis, Blount connects the dots between age-old anxieties and today's most pressing debates around LGBTQ issues in schools. This book empowers educators with the knowledge and historical context needed to question entrenched practices and build more supportive school cultures. Encouraging both critical reflection and practical action, Blount's work is a vital resource for anyone committed to fostering respect and opportunity for every member of the school community.
Working Nature
Daniela Russ argues that the category of 'energy' is best understood not in terms of particular material things but as a social relation to nature forged over 200 years of capitalist industrialization. Working Nature examines how engineers, scientists, and economists harnessed and circulated the products of nature despite social and natural resistance.
Paper America
Paper america: New & Selected Poems gathers the poetic vision of Texas Poet Laureate Emmy Pérez, a voice rooted in the landscapes and communities of the Texas–Mexico border. Drawing from her acclaimed collections Solstice and With the River on Our Face, alongside powerful new work, Pérez offers poems that confront the realities of immigration, border walls, cultural invisibility, and violence, while celebrating resilience, motherhood, and the enduring ties of family and heritage. Writing from McAllen and the Rio Grande Valley, Pérez continues the legacy of Gloria Anzaldúa and Chicana/Latina writers who turned la frontera into a literary ground of strength and survival. Whether she is memorializing the children of Uvalde, reflecting on the river that sustains border communities, or capturing everyday encounters in classrooms and neighborhoods, her lines of poetry are precious—each one crafted with compassion, clarity, and urgency. With Whitmanesque scope yet firmly grounded in Mexican American identity and borderlands experience, Pérez’s poetry bridges the personal and the political, reminding readers of the power of words to bear witness, resist injustice, and cultivate hope. Paper america is both an introduction to one of Texas’s most vital poets and a career-spanning testament to the necessity of art in difficult times.

The Good Pornographer
Walace Weiss, a famous fantasy novelist struggling with drug addiction, sets himself on a twofold quest: to finish his first book in more than a decade and, like the immortal elves of his stories, to try to remember what, in his long life, he should not have forgotten. While many have come to view Walace as a bad influence on children, literature, and himself, his impact sweeps across worlds both fantastic and real, leading to his establishing a new kingdom in his neglected McMansion, Summerheim. The result is a mock-epic in rehabilitation, starring such friends and enemies as Cal, Walace’s dealer and private jester; Dragon, a porn star turned guidance counselor; Epiphany, a lunch lady and stripper in recovery; her son, Tuffy, planning everyone’s funerals at age nine; Jackal, newly sober and in touch with his emotions for the first time; and Wolf, Walace’s socially withdrawn twin brother and reluctant doppelgÄnger. Brian Bouldrey piles on the laughs and absurdity alongside dollops of humanity. With brilliant recklessness, he praises and pokes fun at genres, conventions, fandoms, and critics, offering a Deadpool-like exploration of an upside-down world filled with epic quests, epic mistakes, and epic characters.
The Unspeakable Vice
As gay men and lesbian women increasingly gained recognition and acceptance in twentieth-century literature and film, and subsequently in social and political movements, the Catholic Church reacted by subtly moving away from its overt condemnation of homosexuality as an urgent moral problem and toward tacitly shunning homosexuality as an “unspeakable vice.” In this revealing history, Francesco Torchiani reconstructs the Catholic Church’s shifting attitudes toward homosexuality during this period by drawing on a vast array of internal documents and external accounts. This monograph expands the scholarship on the relationship between Catholicism and homosexuality in terms of both method and content, ultimately concluding that the Catholic Church continues to wholeheartedly condemn homosexuality despite making genuine efforts to reflect on and understand its social and cultural impact. The Unspeakable Vice therefore sheds new light on and places into historical perspective the questions the Catholic Church continues to reckon with regarding its role in contemporary society.

Széthullás
Maggie Webb az elmúlt tíz évet idős férje, Stanley ápolásával töltötte, miközben a férfi memóriavesztése lassan elmosta közös múltjuk minden szép pillanatát. Maggie soha nem érezte még magát ennyire egyedül.
Egy nap egy titokzatos férfi, Hassan jelenik meg az ajtajában, és felkavaró igazsággal áll elő: Stanley nem elfelejti az emlékeit, hanem valaki szándékosan törli ki őket, hogy eltüntessen egy rég eltemetett titkot. Ha Maggie hajlandó együttműködni, visszafordíthatja a folyamatot. Visszakaphatja a férjét.
Hassan és forradalmi technológiája segítségével Maggie belép Stanley elméjébe, és egyre mélyebbre hatol emlékeinek szövevényes rétegeibe. Ahogy halad előre, kontinenseken és évszázadokon átívelő összeesküvés képe bontakozik ki előtte – minden újabb emlékkép összetettebb, mint az előző.
Csakhogy Hassan nem az, akinek mondja magát, és idővel már nemcsak emlékek tűnnek el, hanem a valóság darabjai is.
Ha Maggie nem fejti meg, mit tett Stanley évekkel ezelőtt, és mit akar valójában Hassan, nemcsak a férje életét kockáztatja, hanem az egész emberiség jövőjét.
Nicholas Binge új regénye lélegzetelállítóan szédítő thriller egy nőről, aki mindennél tovább hajlandó elmenni, hogy visszakapja a férjét.

Víz alatt
2012-t írunk, New Yorkban mindenki a fenyegető Sandy hurrikánról beszél. Miközben az újságíró Marissa mindennapi köreit rója a Central Parkban és a manhattani utcákon, a közelgő katasztrófa előszele visszarepíti a gyermekkorába. Miután hatévesen elvesztette édesanyját, tengerbiológus apjával Thaiföldre költöztek, ahol megannyi új tapasztalatra és egy különleges barátnőre tett szert. Arielle-lel egész napokat töltött a homokos parton fekve, a korallzátonyoknál búvárkodva, vagy épp a fenséges rájákat lesve. Egy nap azonban a kincsekkel teli óceán pusztító haragra gerjedt – Arielle a 2004-es cunami áldozata lett. Főhősünkben csak a hurrikán nyomasztó hírére tudatosul, hogy máig nem dolgozta fel barátnője halálát.
Tara Menon különös hangulatú regénye olyan, akár a tenger: varázslatos elmerülni benne, ugyanakkor veszélyes mélységeket rejteget. A Víz alatt megindító történet gyászról, barátságról, lelki gyógyulásról, valamint arról, hogy a természet hatalmasabb az embernél.
